It was one of these captious paternal ancestors of whom a good story is Supt, Gincinnalt. | egigy “Clara,’’ he said, “young Mr. Staylate must not come here with such annoying regularity. ‘The coal bill was ‘entirely too large this month,’” Clara knew he meant it, and con- fided in her friend, but very pru dently did not inform Mr. Staylat Instead she always managed to hav a previous engagement when he sent acard, with the exception of one or two nights a week. Of course she |had no engagement, but did not papa say the coal bill must be cur- tailed?) Finally the young man, discover- ing an apparent coolness in his sweetheart, began making inquiry, and of course her best friend had to let the cat out of the bag. Mr. Staylate proved adequate to the emergency, and sending twenty bushels of coal around a few days ago, he mailed to the old gent a re- ceipted bill for the yunt, and ap- pended the significant hope that it would ran them a week anyhow. He now calls every night, and it is said that the old man is kept busy dodg- ing to keep from meeting him face to face The crasade nst the colossal headgear that adorns the crown of fer metropolitan theat and women at all theaters, it might also be said, is likely to r slanght upon the inte’ In many of the ult in an on t ‘toddy.’’ arger cities where r hat has been quashed, the pampered and indignant women have set up a how! that has been echoe’ from the Atlante to the Pacific, and demended;if they are not allowed to choose their own personal attire and decorations, that the men be enjoined from leaving between acts for that perennial and inspiring decoction, the toddy.’’? ‘They say they must have it stopped, and of course it will be stopped.

The story 1s about a hotel clerk. There is an erstwhile hotel clerk here who has avery peculiar voice. When he talks he talks in high C, and his voice alone is enough to ex- cite one’s risibilities, When he stayed at the hotel a few years ago the matches were kept near the register in a receptacle for pen, paper, toothpicks and potato pen wiper. ‘The hack drivers used to an- noy the old clerk a great deal by walking past the desk and taking handful of matches, One day a hackman walked by and momentarily paused to get a match, “I want you G— d— hack drivers to let them matches alone, by G—,’” squeaked the clerk. “Why boss, expostulated the hack driver, in tones of offended dignity, “I didn’t git but two.’’ “You'ra G— d— liar,’’ almost wept the clerk, ‘you got three !”” The candidate is now a victim of lus friends. He finds them innumer- able, and if they vote for him as readily as they drink with him, he will encounter no difficulty in being elected. A certain aspirant for office drop- ped in the back door of a saloon the other day. It happened that four or five or six friends were near the front door, and they ‘‘pat up a job" on him, as the saying is. Two leisurely entered, and as they expected found him treating a couple of other “Many Voters.’’ They congratu- luted him, spoke of his glowing pros- pects, and after replying ‘‘a little straight,” wnother came in, ‘Those on the outside were meanwhile hunt- ing other friends to help carry out the joke. “They can’t beat you,’’ he smiled to the candidate, and accepted the invitation too, ordering ‘‘whisky and water.” ‘Two others dropped in at this juncture and in well simulated sur- prise one exclaimed, ‘We've just been talking about you, and how good your chances would be. You say you area candidate? Well we didn’t know that. Yes, give us a little straight !’” In came the last three just as the drinks for the others had beeen set out. “We're for you,’ they said, as they told the bartender that they wanted toddies. The crowd was just drinking when two more arrived, and of course they could not refuse. ‘The candidate's dollar found its way into the cash drawer and no change was forthcoming. ‘This will be the exporience of many another unfortunate candidate dur- ing the next few months. Some twenty odd years ago the writer was at the head of a combina- tion known as the ‘Bluff City Min- strels,’’ consisting in part of ama- teurs with a sprinkling of professton- als. During the merchant's and me position building on the corner of Jefferson and Fourth streets in the city of Memphis one fall, he had contract to furnish an hour's enter- tainment each evening with a mati- nee on Saturday (for one week, At that time ‘‘Broom's Varieties’ was tn full blast, and as Charlie always played first class vaudeville artists several of his people, whose turns at his place came later on than our hour, which was from 8:30 to 9:50 p- m., were engaged to add strength and eclat toour performance, Among others were two Memphis raised young men, Byron Davis and Billy Perry, who ‘doubled up,’’ as it is called in theatrical parlance. ‘They could do most any act, sing any song or crack any joke in first class style provided they had seen or heard them done by some one else, but neither of them had much originality and only by long experience were they egual to any contretemps that might take place. It was agreed that no old stale or threadbare ‘‘gags’’ were to be repeated at any one of the per- formances and no joke inflicted upon the audience the second time during the week. At that time the old ‘shen fruit’ yarn was compara. tively new, and on the first night Billy Perry got it off, and was well pleased with the applause it evoked, Everything went along nicely autii Saturday night’s show. By that time their stock of new ‘‘gags’’ had become almost exhausted and Perry egg yarn again, Byron whispered it around among the boys when they were bl being in bad condition, said the spac was puntuated by the agent's; Beg) | oy eu ft Pare lace!
