Double Performers.

The other night Mrs. Carrie B. Adams, leader of Terre Haute’s community singing, and Maj. Birch Bayh, of the Indiana State Normal school, were on the same program. Now, Mrs. Adams did not. know that Major Bayh was the speaker of the evening, but’ she did know that he could sing. So when the audience seemed rather tired she turned to Mr. Bayh and said: “You sing the next verse as a solo.” Major Bayh seemed embarrassed, but complied with her request. Hardly had he taken his seat when his speech was announced. He arose, greeted his audience and then turned to Mrs. Adams: “Now, before I get through Pm going to call on you to play, *ring-around-the-rosy,’ or do some stunt out here on the floor,” he threatened. The audience laughed, but Mrs. Adams was evidently bluffed, for she immediately found it necessary to go in search of her coat —Indianapolis News.
