"And make them into obituary volumes?" continued the laughmakcr, very seriously. "We do," was the same laconic answer. "Well, then," aald Wilder, "I want you to collect all the clippings concerning my death." "But you're not dead yet, are you?" came the question over the wire. "Not I," said Wilder, "hut I want you to take the order now, and make the memorial when I do happen to die.

A first cousin of this story is one told of two actors who arc playing In a Broadway production, whose relations are not alto gcthcr friendly, each taking frequent oppor tunltlcs of adverse criticism concerning the work of the other. Finally, a few days ago, one of them, overbearing a caustic remark mndo by the other concerning bis playing of a certain scene, turned to him and ex- claimed : "If I were as bad an actor as you, I'd go and sit on a tack." "It I concluded to do so," retorted tbe other, "I'd sit on yon—you're alwayB so pointed In your remark.." The loquacity of n young woman buying a ticket nt the box ofllco window of a promi- nent New York theatre, one afternoon last week, was auddenly checked by the remark of a abort young friend of the treasurer, named Duncan, who stood near h tin In tbe office. The sale was a busy one, and tbe treasurer had no time for conversation with the buyers. This fact, however, did not deter the young woman from an attempt to have a little friendly talk with him, and began by asking: "What has become of that nice young man VOGEL'S NEW COMPANY.
