AN ACTOR'S COOD JOKE.
How 'Trite" Emmet Played It on an
Audience That Thought He
Was Drunk.
"It's a bad thing for an actor to earn
a name for conviviality" said on oi
them according to an exchange. "A
man who once gels a reputation in the
theatrical profession an an occasional
roisterer and date breaker is never able
ot retrieve that reputation no matter
how many years of sobriety he puts in in
the eflort to live down his record.
"Some actors suffer a great deal from
this sort of thing. No man in the busi-
ness however ever got it coming and
going so naniy as cm itim fjmmet on
account of his jamboree record.
"I was a member of Emmet's company
for a number of years and I know that
there were many times when without
having taken a drop for months he was
too ill to goon from natural causes but
did go on for the nako of preventing lbs
word to be flashed over the country
that 'Joe Emmet was on another drunk.'
'One night nearly 20 years ago It
was on March "1 Kuiniet was hooked
for Kansas City. He'd been on the wa-
ter wagon for many months but he was
ill that night from an attack of malarial
fever and he positively couldn't raise
his head. It was out of the queHtion for
him to go on. He wanted to in spite of
his wretched feeling but even bis man-
ager wouldn't stand for It.
"Fritz went to bed took a hot lemon-
ade swaddled himself tip in the bed cov-
erings and slept off his mean feeling.
"When he got the papers the next
morning he found that he had been so
tumultuously drunk the night before
that he hadn't been able to keep his en-
gagement. It wasn't the newspapers'
fault that this story appeared. The story
had been given out that way from the
theater. I
"Emmet's feelings were a lot bruised
up by that story and we all figured th'.
he'd go on a bat then anyway.
"But he didn't. He got ou tha train
with us and went up to Leavenworth
where we were booked to play that
.night April 1.
"The manager of the theater where
we were to play was surprised to see
Emmet in first rate trim so far a sobri
ety went and he sent out handbills thaf
Emmet would poRjjtivtLy-appea'r' despite
theitwr-fhaF had come from Kansas'
City. There was an overtlow audience
yet I don't suppose that half the people
in the audience realy expected Emmet
to show up.
"They were skeptical and silent until
the rise of the curtain. You remember
how Emmet used to make his first ap-
pearance in 'Frit;' with a lot of little
children tagging after him?
"Well the moment for his cue arrived
the orchestra struck u the opening mu-
sic for his entrance and on came Em-
met reeling and 'apparently splfiicaf-
ed and googley eyed and pickled to the
gun'I. He seemed to be barely able to
keep his feet. Instantly the long hiss
ran around the theater from the orches-
tra to the pit.
"Frit essayed to sing his opening
song but the words died la his throat
drunkenly as it certainly seemed. At
this the hiss became like the music of
10000 cobras.
"Suddenly Fritz straightened himself
and became as erect as a spear. The
Dutch grin spread over his features
and he made a gesture with his arm for
quiet The house instantly obeyed.
" 'Veil' said Emmet supporting his
chin with his left hand in his character
istic fashion "I fought ve could som-.
April Fools haf alrcatty yet nod?' and
then he leaped into the vortex of hi;
singing and dancing with a charm ami
enthusiasm such as his company had
never seen him display before.
"I'll bet you couM have heard the
cheers that rang around the house for
half a mile every time Emmet made hit-
entrance or exit after that."

BATTLES BETWEEN SNAKES
Eights Sometimes Waged for Hours
When Angry Eeptiles Come
Together.
SuakC3 are comparatively rare iu thi
country and as a rule harmless. It is
true that there was chronicled not
long ago the appearance of a fierce mon
ster in North Wales "with a head as
large as a man's hand." But. that w as an
exception says a London paper.
Much discussion took place recently
as to whet her snakes were given to swal-
lowing their kind. When one of them
is hard pressed by its enemies and
there are young ones playing about the
latter promptly crawl down their
1 mot her's throat out of harm's way.
It is painful to witness the agony of a
mother snake sometimes when in the
flurry and excitement following the
appearance of a man amongst a group of
the reptiles the offspring of some other
snake accidentally take refuge down her
throat.
She has not the capacity to hojd her
neighbor's young and her own of course
and when she has been filled up with
strangers and a couple of stray ones of
her own appear on the scene and clamor
for admission her nosition indepd he-
comes a trvlnir one -t itn"ftflCS&
- Her own offspring ik iu TutUTui ten left
to .perish while she reluctantly saves
the lives of others which do not belong
to her. The maternal affections of
snakes whatever may be said of their
poisonous qualifications and biting pro-
pensities certainly entitle them to some
consideration.
The graceful way in which a couple
of youthful snakes will gambol together
on the grass twisting around each other
and hissing playfully and affectionately
in each other's face is a sight once seen
to be long remembered.
The sight is of course a somewhat
rare one for as soon as the intruder is
observed the buck snake immediately
abandons his love-making and makes
in the direction of the stranger with all
the savagery of his nature displayed In
his flashing little eyes and his fiercely
protruding fangs.
The traveler requires a good nerve
and- a long stick when he is attacked in
this way. Tl)e reptile is desperately in
earnest and no thought of iniurv to hi?
body or even death will deter him from ! 1
his purpose of resenting th! intrusion j
upon the sacreduess of his wooing.
If the male snake should happen to bo !
kiiied in the encounter as is very often
the case the female will approach the1
dead body of her mate quite regnrdlepj '
of the presence of his destroyer and pro-
ceed to fawn upon the remains and in a
general way ostentatiously bemoan the
If
fate of her comrade. Ail of which goea j
to prove that the snake is not such a bad !
creature as she is painted.
There seem to be various develop- j
ments of the bump of combativeness
among the Australian snakes. Some are
arrant cowards; others assume a belli- j
cose attitude upon any and every occa
sion. The "tiger" species is most given
to fighting.
The traveler in the bush often com'?
across two "tigers" pegging away at
each other for dear life. .
They are invariably to taken up with
the quarrel that they may be openly ai-
proached and captured or killed at thp
intruder's pleasure.
Sometimes the two belligerents will
f
fasten on to each other's tail and re-1
tain the crin with all the tenacity of a
bulldog hanping on to another's hind
Iff:. j
I have often caught them locked to-
gether in this fashion and have known
them to remain in that position for sev-
eral days at a time. When they show1
ar.y sign of relaxing all that you have
to do is to give one rf them a smart
pinch.
lie immediately blames it upon bis
enemy and redoubles bis prip upon the
tail. I
The other feeling the extra pressure
suddenly put upon bis tail retaliates
promptly In a similar manner and tinm
