The author was | greatly surprised there was so swift and large a demand for it.. In the || .later editions he was able to add the word “Tried” to certain remedies the |victues of which he had meanwhile Now is the time to select. .a Christmas present for your: wife, mother, sister or sweetheart and the kind of present to buy -is | Machine or an Edison Phonograph : Our stock of Pianos is of the best that money can manufacture.

Therefore He Did His Best to Pleass the Manager. A certain playwright relates how a manager was much annoyed by the persistent applications for a ‘*job” made by a_peculiarly seedy individual Time and again the manager had re- ferred this person to his stage man- ager. “See Blank,” he would say, in terrupting the man's attempts to sef forth his qualifications. At last the applicant did succeed i gaining audience of Blank, the stage manager, who was in the theater for the time *‘sizing up” candidates for the chorus. There were, of course, a number ahead of him, but this fact did not prevent the seedy man from interrupt- ing the stage manager between songs with requests for a job. Exasperated, the stage manager at length turned to the pianist and or- dered him to play an accompaniment for the stranger. With considerable hesitation the seedy person raised what voice he had in song. The result was bad as bad could be. The manager suddenly commanded him to derist. “What do you mean by this tomfool- ery?” he demanded. disgusted. “You certainly have confounded impudence to ask me for a job!” “Look here!” said the stranger, an- gry in turn. “I don’t claim to be able to sing. In fact, I don’t want to sing. T'm a stage carpenter. I only sang to please you because you inslsted on it!"—Pearson’s Weekly. His Favorite Opiate. Ushers in theaters handle some pe: culiar people during a season, but the experience of the employee of a Chest: nut street playhouse was a puzzle for some_ time. A well dressed, -middle aged man would secure an end seat in the front row almost every evening He would tell the usher If he fell asleep he was not to be disturbed un- til after the show. No sooner would the orchestra play the overture than the ushers would notice that the man was asleep. At the close of the night’s entertainirent. some one would rouse the sleeper and he would leave with a polite acknowledgment. One night he explained his strange behavior: “I suffer fiom insomnia.” h& said close to the drummer in an orchestra, There is something in ‘the rhythmic to sleep.”—Philadelphia’ Times. Found a Place. The. billposter had one poster -left .and no conspicuous place to put it. He stood on the corner and wondered what he should do with it. Presently an Italian woman carrying a big load of wood on her head passed by. “Beiter than a Broadway electric tower for my business,” said he. Paste brush and paste were requisi- tioned, the poster was clapped ou the perambulating wood pile, and for fif- teen minutes the ever curlous Broad- way crowd stopped, turned and even followed to learn something about the commodlty that was advertised in that ‘| novel manner.—New York Sun.
