Il Question Ansuered, or RoU to Cure Deafness
Bob RI was a character. This asser
without fear of contradiction though, as to whethe
he ever had any character, is question am not SC
well prepared to answer. Be that as it might, how
ever he formerly oficiated as a doorkeeper at one
of the principal theatres which position he sustained
in manner that was almost unbearabie by the pat
rons Of the house.
Bob was unfortunate for he was not only deaf but
suffered Bob, likewise, had the singular and pecu-
liar little failing of borrowing money and forgetting
to pay it. This is such rare-such avery rare pee
cadillo with the world in general and theatrical off,
cias in particular that thoughtit worth mentioning
On morning Bob was dunned by Dick S., a
a person to whom he owed five dollars.
"Come, Bob can't you pay me that money to-day !"
said the man.
I'VE give day p-pe-ffformance n-n-next Thurs
day!" replied Bob.
II don't want to know when you give a day per-
formance, want my money"
t'Nn-no, we don't play Money Jack Scott ap-
pears in the drama Of the Wizard of the Wave"
Course the Wizard of the Waven" exclaimed the
man; 81 want those FIVE dollars you owe me-"
"Yy-youre quite right, the robbers in the ll-lagt
scene was first rate"
Dick then wrote what he wanted on page of his
memorandum book, and handed it to Bob.
'I-II can't see" said that individual Ill"
Finding all his efforts useless, after the lapse of
few moments, Dick asked 'deafy' in low voice
"What viii you have to drink 2"
~ l-t-iittie brandy and acatcr !" replied Bob.
