* In Winter, the, famous dramatic critic, t*n* bow be and Joseph Jefferson were among ' the pall bearers at McCnUough's funeral. "Ai our melancholy train was I baited In a Philadelphia street," says Mr. Winter,-, "he glanced along the line i and gravely remarked, '1 never knew before that there were so many walking gentlemen In my profession.'" J Another quaint anecdote which be tells wltb reference to a melancholy occasion Is this one 00 tie burial of ' John Brougham: "Edwin Booth and I assisted to bear his pall. I remember that the two ( _ gravedlggers after they bad lowered his coffin a little way Into the grave , were constrained, with many muttered exclamations of 'Alse ber!' and 'Raise . berr to lift it up again In order to enlarge tbe cavity. Booth and I, a like Hamlet and Horatio, Were standing under a neighboring tree observing t these proceedings, and nothing was ever more woefully comic or more la>- , morously rueful than Hatnlefs smile . aa be looked at me wltb those deep, melancholy _eyes and with that little, furtive grimace, murmuring as he did ' no, It's the last recall.' " ' U . ■ Trouble Making. < Trouble making is an olfler Industry I than tbe manufacture of steel. Cain, ( tbe trouble maker, got into .action before Tulfel Cain, the Ironworker, and t Eve got Adam Into hot water long be- c fore tbe boliermakers' union began business. There are three brands of trouble— 1 fs imaginary, borrowed and real. Imag- ' lnary trouble consists of railroad accldents, earthquakes. Ores, suicides, dls- 5 G eases such as the patent medicine man makes, tbe poorbouse, death awf tbe | grave carefully mixed and taken after j a late' dinner or a drop in the stock f market > Borrowed trouble is the kind we get j from gour relatives. Its principal ln- — 1 gred louts are visits, borrowed money, ' ; birthday presents, advice and expectations. But -tbe real article is pro- ( I dnced as follows: Put tbe sandals of j endurance od your feet take your life j | In your hands and follow by tnrna tbe ^ j bow to be happy philosopher, tbe , - j preacher of pbysic&l culture and tbe ,. apostle of diet— Puck. " I 1 Hit Hunt For Horn*. | On one occasion De Pachiaann, tbe I I famous pianist, with bis nervous and I Irritable temperament, was summoned • to appear before Queen Alexandra at j Buckingham palace. He immediately adopted anarchism as bis political faith and obstinately refused to go. _ His friends labored with him for hours and at last persuaded him not to com- . mlt an Impertinence which would nev- ' er be forgiven by tbe English people. Finally be was dispatched lu a cab. C Tbe nlgbt wore on to morning, and tbe frantic wife of the pianist and bis g friends could learn .nothing of what g II bad become of him. At last a forlorn looking cab drove up to the house, . ~ and De Pachmnnn dismounted. On leaving the palace he had forgotten where he lived and- could only tell tbe £ cabman that It was In a square wltb I a church In 1l 80 all night long he had been engaged in making a _ round g of the Innumerable squares of London. Hi* Maaiur*. "A few friends." relates Mr. James d Molr In tbe Draughts World, "were h chatting wltb Wyllle, the checker 11 I champion, in a club after one of his n days of exhibition play In Glasgow □ when a youth, slightly under the lnflu- H ence of John Barleycorn, threatened g to monopolize the conversation, blow- h . lng his own horn and giving out in no tr uncertain language that be considered 0 himself tbe equal of Wyllle. Tbe old l' man took no notice of him for a tlmfe, " hut. occupying the usual live minutes £j

In considering the move, quietly asked | the youth to remove bis hat (not more | thpn a six and a half size), then sub- ! stltuted his own — which was a large j oDe and went well down over the young braggart's nose — and, casting r his eye around the company, salt] | scornfully. That's his measure!' Tbe ; company enjoyed the retort so mncb \ that the youth was glad to make a TK* 8*rvant and th* Factory Woman. Much as I loathe the factory system.
