ue Telle How He Learned He Conld
Not Imitate Himself.
The great French actor Coqaelin
tells the following experience, In which
he himself played the leading part "I
was tired out, and so made up my
mind to leave the theatre for a thus
and go and vegetate In some country
place. I went right Into tha center
of France and soon found myself nice
ly settled In a homely commercial ho
tel. I did not want to be known, so I
signed myself in the book, 'Frederick
Febure, traveler for wines, spirits,'
etc.
"At the table d'hote I soon became
acquainted with those staying at the
hotel. Tht neighbor on the right trav
eled for a firm which specialized in
'table delicacies'; my neighbor on the
left was In the drapery line, another
dabbled In oils, another for a novelty
in babes feeding bottles these gen
tlemen soon became known to me and
I was asked myself the name of the
house for which I traveled. 'For Oar
etie &. Moliere,' I replied.
"During dinner all went on pleas
antly. A certain little traveler, full of
life and conceit commenced to give us
a few recitations and imitations some
of them fairly clever. I must confess.
He was applauded tremendously, and,
filled up with confidence and wine, he
said:
" 'Now, I am going to Imitate a few
celebrated actors,' etc. He Imitated
Henry Irving as Hamlet, he Imitated
Sarah Bernhardt In 'La Tosca,' and
then finished up by saying, 'I am now
going to give you an Imitation of
Uoquelin. I'ay great attention and
you will all swear that it is Coquelln
himself.
He gave us an imitation and when
be had finished I rose and said:
'Yes, you did that fairly well. But
although I may appear conceited, I
really think I can give you a better
imitation; I will try, however.'
"I commenced. I gave something
from one of my favorite pieces, and, as
really think, quite excelled myself.
Do you think they applauded me? Not
at all. They smiled and said, 'Thank
ou,' and almost appeared as though
they felt sorry for my ridiculous at
tempt
Later on," continued the actor, ac
cording to the New York Times, "when
11 except the little, conceited traveler
had retired, he came up to me and
said:
'May I offer you a little friendly
advice, sir? You are a young hand at
the traveling game, I plainly see, and
perhaps wished to make yourself
agreeable this evening. Never, how
ever, try to imitate a great actor
whom you have never seen! To lint
tate Coquelln one must have seen him
act. You did your best I daresay; but
oh, dear!"

London, Greateet of River Porte, Poa
aeeaee No Quays on Water Front.
This stretch of the Thames from
London bridge to Albert docks is to
other watersides of river ports what a
virgin forest would be to a garden,
says a writer In the Metropolitan. It
Is a thing grown up, not made. It re
calls a jungle by the confused and lm
penetrable aspect of the buildings tbat
line the shore, not according to t
planned purpose, but as If, by accl
dent, from scattered seeds.
Like the matted growth of bushes
and creepers veiling the silent depth
of an unexplored wilderness they hide
the depths of London's Infinitely va
ried, vigorous, seething life. In other
river ports It Is not so. They lie open
to their stream with quays of broad
clearings, with streets like avenues cut
through thick timber for the conven
ience of trade.
I am thinking now of river ports I
have seen; of Antwerp, for Instance,
of Nantes or Bordeaux, or even old
Rouen, where the night watchman of
ships, elbows on rail, gaze at shop
windows and brilliant cafes and see
the audience go in and come out of the
opera house. But London, the oldest
and greatest of river ports, does not
possess as much as 100 yards of quays
upon its river front. Dark and im
penetrable at night like the face of a
forest, is the London's waterside.
It is the waterside of watersides,
where only one aspect of the world's
life can be seen and only one kind of
men tolls on the edge of the stream.
The lightless walls seem to stand on
the very mud upon which the stranded
barges lie and narrow lanes coming
down to the fine shores resemble the
paths of smashed bushes and crum
bled earth where big game comes to
drink on the bank 'of tropical streams.

tor many years, having Boils and other
Eruptions. Having heard of S. S. S. I de

For over fifteen years I have suffered
more or less from Impure Blood. About a
year ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my neck. I saw S. S. S.
advertised and decided to try it After
taking three bottles all Boils disappeared
and i have not been troubled any since.

I had boils ranging from five to twenty in

S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
needed in my case. It drove out all impu
