No Occasion for Surprise.

This story Is told of Forrest, the great tragedian: Forrest was playing In "Richard H 1.,” and the paFSof Catesby had to be taken by a low comedian, who sauntered on the stage a* the wrong moment and uttered the famous words, “My lord, the duke of Buckingham Is taken,” In the wrong place. Forrest clenched his fists In rage, but otherwise took no notice of the remark. -Later on the comedian repeated the words In the right place, and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded his arms, walked boldly down the stage, and remarked to the great actor In loud tones: “I told you so before, Mr. Forrest, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
