Ex-Senator Cockrell probably is the only man In Washington who ever kept President Roosevelt waiting at a dinner. It was one of the cabinet dinners that were given by the secretary of the interior and Mrs. Hitchcock three years ago. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time, as did all the other guests except Senator Cockrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Senator Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourlan had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad In his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating himself that he could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had forgotten to turn a leaf and wa3, accordingly, a day behind time. No one appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension ended In a big laugh at the dear old senator. Denver Times,

When I made my stage debut in London, some fifteen years ago, in Tom Robertson's "School," they printed my head on a pikestaff, and that pleasantry put me on my mettle to prove I was net a stick. When I got along some they advised me not to stop in London playing one part a hundred nights or more, but to knock about the provinces AND ACQUIRE EXPERIENCE THIS I DICL. TO MY EVERLASTING BENEFIT,
