WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.

Mr. H. V. Esmond, the well-known dramatist and actor, whos? play. “Eliza Comes to Stay.” was one of the successes last year, has just finished another play. The other day he was making a rough sketch of his idea for the setting of one of the scenes. The sketch included the rough outline of a wheelbarrow, and as he put the finishing touches to it his small daughter, Jill, came to examine

“I know what that is. doddv!” she exclaimed, pointing at the wheelbarrow. “You do. my dear?” remarked her father, much gratified that his wheelbarrow could be recognised as such. “Yes.” continued Jill triumphantly; “it’s a picture of a frog eating!”

Young Lawyer (having passed his examinations): “Well. I’m glad it’s over. I’ve been working to death the last few years trying to complete my legal education.”

Old Lawyei : “ Cheer up, my boy; it’ll be a long time before yon have any more work to do.”

“Now Uiat 'yonr engagement-is broken. are you going to make her return all your love-letters ” “You bet Tam. I worked hard thinking out those letters. They’re worth using again.”
