Why Ue Could Not.
A theatrical manager who bad a limited
purse, aud consequently a limited com­
pany, occasionally compelled some of the
actors to “double”—that is, play two or
more parts iu the same piece.
“Lancaster,” be said one morning, ad­
dressing a very serviceable utility mau,
“you will have to enact three parts In ‘The
Silent Foe' tonight—Henderson, Uncle Bill
and the Crusher.”
“Can’t do it,” replied Lancaster; "im­
possible—can’t be done."
"You can’t do it? You won’t do itf
Why?"
