Nov X11• ITMIT IN AN ()BMA. l Confusion Caused Beca^tnse Manse isr Didn't Pronounce His "es." • A gond story comes from Axtntwerp of a performance there once of "The Hugenots " The grand theatre at Antwerp drew its operatic "supers" largely from the 'semi -military population of the town, and on this occasion the usual number of ecclesiastical digni- taries in the fourth act was provided. from the regular source. Operatic rehearsals are necessarily somewhat limited in number, and the stage -manager, not trusting to cues, placed himself in the wings, in order to, ensure the clearing of the stage at the proper moment. Unfortunately that gentleman had the peculiarity of speech found chiefly among the Mediterranean French (he was from Martinique) and was unable to pro- nounce . the letter "r." All was gtii lag beautifully, until the time came to give the signal. "Sortez! "-"Re- tire! "-cried the manager; but the word sounded -like "Sauter!" "Dance!" "Sauter!" he repeated, as the bewildered supers stared at this sudden and unexpected invitation. The poor fellows had never tried to dance in public. The thought had not entered their simple minds that such conduct would be expected of bishops and priests. But the neces- sity for "immediate action • became apparent. The manager commenced to dance with rage in the wings, re- iterating his commands more and more audibly, until at last, with the courage of desperation, the unfortun- ate supers overcame first their con- victions, and next their natural timid- ity, and proceeded to sautes or dance to the best of their ability, until at last, amidst the hilarious shrieks of the audience, the frantic efforts of the performers, and the wild yells of the unfortunate manager, the curtain was " ,rung down upon the most orig- inal termination of the act ever wit- nessed on any stage. address on, from the Ashfield congregation, and a purse presented by Mrs. John McRae. Miss. Douglas' great-grandfather, Rev. Alex- ander Grant, was the first settled minister of the. Ashfield congregation. Youngpeo- ple's Sabbath School andp church, Lucknow C plc's Society, of the 7 v , presented a camera and a purse. John Murdock gave the address, and Miss Fern Reid made the presentation. An address and Bible from the W. M. S., Lucknow, was presented by Mrs. A. P. Stewart. Mrs, Horace Aitchison contributed a pleasing solo. Rev. Dr. McKerroll, in a forceful closing address, exhorted the congre- gation to do their part by standing behind, their representitive in the for- . eign field. During the past year Miss Douglas attended the Presby- terian missionary and , deaconess• training school at Toronto, where her high standing qualified her in one year for the graduation diploma us- ually obtained only for two yeers' work. She also Won a scholarship for general'profaeiency. Miss Doug- las leaves the latter part of August for Tanstti, Formosa, Japan, Thureday, Augu 2ied, 1928 The Colored Fiddler. Herr Joachim, the famous violinist, once had . an unusual experience. While staying in London he was thrown much into the society of Lord R., a "perfect gentleman," mixing in the highest society, but well known for his profound antipathy to any- thing connected with music. Learn- ing that Joachim was about to give it series ofconcerts at St. Japes' Hall, Lord R. informed the eminent violin- ist that he intended to come and hear one of the famous Beethoven quar- tets that appeared in the program. The great artiste thanked his lordship. for this mark of sympathy, adding that he should be charmed to learn what impression the work made upon him. A day or two later the two friends. happened to meet at a soiree. Joa- chim at once inquired what impres- sion Beethoven's work had made up- on his lordship, and expressed a hope that the evening had not proved tedious, "Not at all -not at all!" exclaimed his lordships. "I ` enjoyed myself. greatly. I did not recognize you at first under your disguiseas a nigger, but later on I laughed all the more! There was a death -like silence among the guests. Then came the explan- ation. Lord R. had lost his way. In- stead of going to the large hail, he had strayed inadvertently into the Christy Minstrels' concert room. A Mistaken Warning. In his youth the later Samuel Phelps, the well-known actor, used to play in a humble amateur com- pany, and was foolish enough, Mr. J. Coleman tells us, to invite Jerrold, then a printer in the same office with him, . to witness the performance. Phelps asked for his opinion. ' "Have you really made up your mind to chuck up the stop and go on this wild-goose chase?" asked Jerrold' "I have," replied Phelps. "'very well!" exclaimed Jerrold continued, • "don't say afterwards I didn't warn you." "Warn me!'" exclaimed Phelps. "Do you mean to say that I shall never make an ! actor?" "No, I don't mean to say anything of the kind. You will make an .act-` or, but," snarled. Jerrold, "you'll make a deuced bad one! When you're learnt to move like a man and speak like a Christian, and got rid of your Devonian dialect -when you've had ten years' practice -if you've not. starved to death in the interval- you'll succeed, if you've luck, in get- ting thirty bob a week insome sec- ond-rate country theatre.. And now go .to the deuce your own way! Good Morning!" Mike's Opinion: ,, Once when returning from Court of session a famous Canadian judge noticed an old Irish laborervttho was about to take a,: third-class ticket, He paid, his •fare, and took him 'into ' a saloon with him. The ' ebnver°sation soon turned upon the relative merits of Canada and Ireland. As the train ' rolled on thrpugh the fields of 'waving red farms and well -ordered corn, past the we orchards, the judge said, 'Well, Mike, yadmiring 'are evidently d r g the I cotuntry. Far away above Ireland this, isn't it?" The old man shook his head. "Come, now," said the judge - "surely this. is a. finer country in every way? For instance, you would be a" long time in Ireland before you would enjoy the honor of riding in a saloon carriage with a judge." "Yes," repied Mike, "and you'd be bllong time in oirela.nd afore they'd ake ye a judge!" The Bishop Scores. A certain bishop was being patron- ized by a millionaire. "I never go to church," the Mil- lionaire nillionaire said, "Perhaps you Imre noticed that, bishop?" "Yes, I have noticed it," -said ttid► bishop, gravely. "Well, the reason I don't go to church fs that there arc so many hypocrites there." "Oh, dont let that keep you as teay,, bishopsniffing.
