On the eve of IiIb weddiDC, a voung sport permitted himself a last night 'round town, and got gloriously'drunk. He could not remember where hp lived, so the cabmen and the police searched him. un- fortunately, tho reveller had annexed the overcoat of a distinguished professor, whose card was found. When a drunken little man was tumbled Into her bedroom, nnd collapsed Into an armchair. Mrs. Professor took h ra for her husband, and rated him solemnly. Then she saw that It was a stranger, she had riot recovered her self-possession ere her hiiRliand Indeed arrived. He examined the stupid creature in tho dvalr, and most conveniently decided that the Intruder was an eccentric aristocrat, ex- pected to arrive for a nerve cure.

Sometime ago he canceled contracts Involving S85.00O. on the plea that his health, and particularly his voice, caused lilm grave concern. Then he went to tho Oaletv and the I<ondon Theatres of Varieties brought suit. Evans declared that he was quite cqun! to tho strain of lighter work on the theatrical stage. Celebrated urtlstB were lined up on cither side to say whether Hie vaudeville work or that of the theatres In- volves .the (/renter ncrre strain. Tho judge decided for Evans, declaring that theatre was more delicate and suitable to a man no longer equal to the slapstick.
