The piece was h thrilling melodrama of the old school when the critic happened to be there one night. The hero—an understudy —was slender and short; the lovely heroine tall ami stout. “Murry that man!" shouted ttie villain to the princess, and polnt'ng m tlie hero, "and I’ll ruin you both!" The heroine then screams and fulls into the arms of the hero, who is expected to carry her out. But on this occuslon the slender hero, doubting his fitness for the task before him,

Some cows actually disgraced their home ami reputation by going home Hie other night Just like a pack of old boozer*. The truth of this statement Is ntlirmcd by a fanner in England. and Is related in one of the lead ing London dallies.

Evidently the cows were fascinated and tile considerable iptantltles. The result was that when the farmer sent Ins hoy to tiring the row

Twice he saved his master’s life by deliberate aets of insubordination. The latest yarn about n pony that had a race-track reputation Is worth repeating in tills connection. Every morning its owner brought this pony Into the dining room of the house In which the narrator was billeted, and led him round the table. The pony was offered all sorts of dainties, hut he would only toneh slices of bread and butter, of which he was inordinately fond. It was not a hlg room, and there was not much space between the wall and the table, so If he had shown any restlessness the table and all that was on It must have been demolished. He, however, behaved always with the manners of a retriever dog, and only the slices of bread and butter hud to be re-
