So he called the man In a friendly way, and said: "That's a fine tune you're whistling—I'd like to know tbe name of it." "Yes, It la a lively melody, and I like It," said the Britisher. "It's called 'We Shall Never Forget You.'" Glllen strongly desired to undeceive the Englishman, but be didn't have the heart t While playing one of Frank Melville's narks last Summer, Glllen entered into conver- sation with an old fellow, who was Indulg- ing in a glass of soda water at the same drug store counter at which the actor was refreshing himself. "Ain't you one of them fellows doln' things at tbe park ?" he said to Glllen. "Yes," said Glllen, then added In the old man's vernacular, "I help 'em act out on tbe stage some." "I thought I remembered ye," said Glllen's all over the floor In his Imaginary bout with an adversary. His clothing picked up nearly all the resin which had been pnt there by the dancers shortly before. The act finally closed, and the boy, who was released from the spell, aeelng his plight, endeavored to brush the powder from his clothes.

An aspiring young actor, whose general appearance marked him for what he was, walked up to a hotel desk, traveling bag in band, and to the proprietor said: "How much for your rooms}" "Four dollars and upward," was the reply. "But," remonstrated the actor, "I belong to the profession—don't you make special rates on that account ?" "Yea, Indeed," replied the proprietor, "in that case rates are four dollars, down." ♦ Many a story la told of the Influence of a good song, particularly upon those of a tem- peramental nature. One of these concerns the song, "Far Away," which, In this In- stance, did Its work of reformation through the voice of Raymon Moore. Later, tbe sweet voiced singer received a letter from tbe young man, whose return to his borne was effected by the sentiment and melody of this popular ballad. arrivals at Peak's Island. *—+ INDIANA.
