AND IT WASN'T A STAGE KISS

Frank Daniels Won in an Impromptu Kidding Contest.

KANAS CITY. January 4.-Tim fact that Frank Daniels, the comic opera comedian, sat in a box at the Willis Wood Theater at theperfornvance of “FasineUng Flora” gave the audence an oportunity to enjoy a bunch of Impromptu comedy that wasn't expected. From the time Daniels appeared until the last act the comedian was the target of all sorts of jokes by Adele Richie and members of her company. The "kiding” of Daniels culminated near the close of the play at the time Miss Ritchie was forced

erne wanted. * It applauded, whistled and stamped until It sounded as IT “Uncle Toni's Cabin” gallery were welcoming Eliza across the Ice. Daniels sat still and blushed while the appaulsv. increased Miss Ritchie's merriment. She had the

The applause, which subsided for a moment, broke loose anew when, instead of a speech, the comedian reached toward Miss Ritchie, caught her by one*ear and kissed her. It was a real kiss, too— not a stage kiss. The actress was startled and ran from the stage. The applause that followed could not bring her back to the stage, either.

“It gradually came to be perceived that these great and startling events were really Insignificant t»otli In their character and In their extent w hen they were compared with those wrought by the simple Infiuenee of weather, by the splintering of rock surfaces by the freezing of water wltb- ! in crevices, by the denudation occastoned by rainfall and to be noted by those who are observant, in the turbldlty of every streamlet after a | shower, by the gradual conveyance of j ! river mud to the bed of the ocean and by tlie alterations of land and water ' shown by fossil remains to Lave oc- i curred. not once only, but frequently, in I many parts of the glot>e.

“TLose wLo are insensible to Its fusehmliuus or who are Ignorant of the truths which it Las revealed Lave often been disposed to deny or dispute Its utility and to think that the time devoted to it might Lave been better employed.

J. Sollas-of Oxford put it in his address, that it has conducted water to our thirsty cities, has poured the gold of Africa into the lap of commerce and found diamonds to adorn the fair. “But these things, he declared, were subordinate to the endeavors of tlie society to foster right thinking on the mysterious problems presented by tlie planet on which we dwell, and in this great conception of its work hf will command the assenf of all who recognize what lias been in past time the effect of right thinking upon human history and its Influence in raising mankind to the level which its most civilized representatives have now attained and from which they look forward to still further advances.

Whittier's Loneliness. He was essentially a lonely man. | Romantic by temperament, susceptible to feminine charms and exactly constituted for the happiness of love and domestic life, he was doomed to austere celibacy. Filled with curiosity for dis taut places and having ns contemporaries Irving, who spent over twenty years of his life in Europe; Cooper, who, besides Ids voyages, lived abroad seven successive years; Bryant, who made six excursions to the old world; Longfellow, who knew Europe perhaps letter than his native land, Whittier’s travels were bounded on the north by the limits of New England, on tlie east by the neighboring shore, on the south by Washington and on the west by Harrisburg. Brought up a Quaker, he was cut off from the cheerful huu nn activities of New England churches, the most prominent feature of village social life. The curse of constant headaches and chronic insomnia made him almost a prisoner, or, as Barrett Wendell phrases it, he was ‘generally* troubled by that sort of robust poor health which frequently accompanies total abstinence.’ But with ali these discouragements, privations and enforced renunciations, he seems to have preserved the temperament of a beautiful child. — Professor W.

It Didn't Work. A man who had been out of work for a long time suddenly recollected reading a story of a clerk who applied for a situation. He was courteously told that there was not a vacancy, and ns he turned away lie stooped and picked up u pin from the floor. The employer, struck by the action, called him back and said: “You seem a careful sort of man. Call back tomorrow, and we will give you a job.” Our hero therefore determined to copy this inun's example, and next day saw him standing tiefore a I .rge manufacturer, having previously dropped a pin on the floor. Getting the usual reply that tin re was no vacancy, he turned away and ! thou, like the other man, stoop.'il and picked up a piu. But the result was ! different “Here. Henry," shouted tlie employer, “see this fellow off the premises! ] A man who steals a pin would steal anything!”—Pearson's Weekly.

“IT H SIT 1UO BBOTBEK.” SAID THE LITTLE CLEAK VOICE. handkerchief and laid it carefully over the big front bow of her hat. It left the cherries out in the rain, but with a quick glance around she sped up the sidewalk. Luttrell, taking long steps, reached her without effort. “If you wilf let me,” he said, “I will hold my umbrella over the cherries. She looked up, startled. In the gloom she could not see his face, but there was no hint of disrespect in ids voice, and her hat was new. “Oh, if you will”— she said in a prim little way, and for a few minutes they walked on In silence. "We might talk,” Luttrell suggested, “about the weather. It's a good conventional subject and won't commit you to anything in tlie way of acquaintance.” The girl laughed at that “I am not quite sure how to treat the situation. You see, it's n little unusual to let a man you don't know walk home with

you.”

“Suppose we act as if we had known each other all our lives and say the things we would say under those circumstances.” “Under those circumstances,” said the little clear voice in the dark, “I should say, ‘Goodness, what an awful night" ” “And I should say.” was Luttrell’s grave response, “‘Little friend, why are you out so late alone?' ” “Oh,” came flatteringly, “I went to the library, and when I came out It was almost dark and, to cap the climax. it rained.” “And your hat would have lieen ruined if fate had not kept me downtown late too. And It's such a pretty hat, 1 he added reflectively. “Oh!” said the clear little voice again, and then there was another si-

lence.

Far up the street under a corner lamp they could just discern a big man plodding along, weighted down by two umbrellas. “It's my big brother," said the little clear voice, and then timidly; “Would you mind- going on alone? You see, he might not understand my letting you— but my hat is new—and”— “I understand perfectly,” Luttrell told her. “But big brothers are sometimes dense. 1 have a little sister myself, and I like to look after her pretty closely, and that's why I looked after

you.”

lie had gone Into the darkness before she could thank him. But from the shadows he watHied her fly along the Intervening space and conic up to her Mg brother. And he heard her say in that clear little voice; “.It was so good of you to come after me. Bob. And then they went along together through the driving storm, and Luttrell was left alone. After that on his way home from office he found himself looking for the girl with the cherry hat. But girls came and girls went, but never the right one. and so the months passed and the winter came, and there were no cherries on any of tlie hats, and Luttrell gave up his quest In despair. But always he held In Ids heart the memory of the clear little voice that

had talked to him so confidingly in the darkness oi’ the rainy autumn night. One night he dropped Into a fashionable downtown restaurant for dinner, and at the next table were a big man and a girl in a drooping hut of pale blue. Her gown was of the same color, aud arouud her neck she wore a collar of pearls. She was a vision of exquisiteness, and there was about her a haunting quality that made Luttrell look at her more than ouce. Where had he seen her? And even as he questioned the vision said in a clear little voice: “Bob, I do believe It is raining. If we go out, we will have to have a cab.” It was the girl with the cherry bat. No other had such a voice, and there was the wavy brown hair. And in the brilliant light he beheld clearly for tlie first time the gray eyes aud the delicate pink and white of the oval face. Why, the little girl was a lieauty! “You shall have two cabs if you wish,” he heard the big man say genially. "We wouldn’t want to christen that stunning gown with rain.” At the sound of that big, booming voice Luttrell stared, and then he bridged the distance between the two tallies and dropped his hand on the other man's shoulder. “Bob Raymond,” he said, “I thought I couldn’t be mistaken in the voice. But you’ve grown some, Bobbie, since I used to pitch you off of the campus fence.” Raymond wrung his hand, beaming. “Sis,” he said to the vision in blue, "it's Mark Luttrell. You’ve heard me tell about our college pranks. Mark, this is my kid sister.” She smiled up at Luttrell from under the brim of the broad hat. “Bob forgets that 1 am grown up,” she said, and Luttrell saw that us yet she had not recognized him us the man of the umbrella episode. “I remember your picture stood ou Bob's chiffonier,” he told her. “Ynu wore your hair iu pigtails, but you were awfully pretty, and I fell in love with you." “Oh!” she said, blushing beautifully. "Sit down aud have dinner with us," Raymond insisted. “Felicia and I have the evening before us. It’s raiulug, so we might as well stay here for awhile.” He turned to give an order to the waiter, and Luttrell leaned toward Fe licia. “If you will let me,” he said, “1 will hold my umbrella over the cherries.'’ There was dead silence for a moment, and then she whispered nervous ly: "Oh, you are the man! Ob, what did you think of me?” "I wished that I might hold an urn brella over you for tlie rest of my life,’ he said fervently. Her dimples came out in full force. “I am afraid you would get awfully tired,” she said, but her eyes drooped liefore ids glance. "Come up and see us,” Bob said that night as they par tod. “On one condition,” said Luttrell as he held tlie fur lined wrap for the vision in blue, “that you let me fail in love with your sister.” “Felicia?” Raymond scoffed. “She's nothing but a kid." “I am old euougli to know my own mind. Bob," said Felicia with spirit. “And what is your mind?” Luttrell asked as they went down the hall together. Her eyelashes swept her cheeks and hid her eyes. “I don’t know,” she said demurely. “Perhaps—perhaps you had better come—and find out.” Why the Will Cost More. Five years ago a certain man made a will. Last week he made another one. The same lawyer drew up both documents. For writing the second will the lawyer charged twice as much as for writing the first one. “Why this difference?” asked the client “Have you attained such prominence iu.the legal profession in the last five years that you are justified in doubling your fees?" “Not at all," said the lawyer. “There was twice as much work ou this will as ou your old one. You see. at that time you were a married man and your will was short, for with the exception of a few minor bequests everything was left to your wife. Changes in your domestic relations have made another will necessary. You are now a bachelor or a bachelor’s equivalent, a childless widower. It Is much harder to write a will for a man of that type than for a married man. The man with n family usually gives away everything he possesses In three or four clauses, but the bachelor divides his property among so many relatives, friends and dependents and consumes so much time in doing it that the lawyer Is justified in charging him double the usual fee.”—New York Press. —

The Waiter Explains. lie was one of the very few commercial travelers who cannot adapt themselves to their surroundings, aud as a chronic hotel grumbler he is known from east to west. The waiter was possessed of an optimism unusual for one weighted with the responsibilities of his position and served the soup, fish and roast with equanimity and poise. At tlie dessert tlie traveling man waxed irritable and sarcastic. “Look here.” he said. “This pudding is on the bill of fare as ‘ice cream pudding.’ and there isn't any Ice nor is there any cream in it.” The waiter in a tone of great patience replied: “That's all right,"sir. There's nothing In names. If we serve you with Washington pie it's no sign there’s a picture of tlie capitol on every niece, and when wo bring you college fritters there isn’t a terra’s tuition in advance thrown in. Any cheese with your pie, sir?”
