Macklit failed, and suban everybody else, it is recorded, that ban ever tried to repeat it straightway. A moro nonensical jumble ct. words it would parlaps he dificult, to hit apon, and what with the North Pote Expedition, Dr. Nansen, greet sho-bears, and the despairing ory of What no BOOK " Punch "bas hit mpón' a really seasonable joke Many are the stories related of the famous Minor. the billowsugust strike one

As he was looking into the gravo and murmuring “Poor: stränger! soeeze attempted to lend him away, when he said, "Sir, I am at my rehearsal; do not disturb mel" It is well known that this noted notor and author was a man of singular temperament, and nothing could persuade him from the path when crée entered apen. When at the height at bis fame he was onwhat intolerant and chafed at the slightest interference with a claims. Although a genius bayond doubt, ho at times cultivated a bratally frank manver towards thony who displeased him. Still, he had an immenso bold upon the stage and stage-folk,. and when opportunity serves I may reell some of the little anecdotes connected with his loug career.
