A good story is told of the Irish com
edian Joe Murphy, who appeared in
Omaha last week:
1t was during the "blue ribbon; ex-
element Of last season, and Joe was
journeying to a small town in the vicini-
ty Of Pittsburgh. As the train steamed

dozen men, who, after hurried confer
ence with the conductor, approached
the comedian with beaming faces.

spokesman, hat in had

the committee appointed to take you
in charge" and they fairly dragged the
astonished Joe from the car, placed him
in a carriage, and they were whirled
swiftly away,

of Irish peculiarities. "This is very
kind. Never was in this town before.

a fact"
In short time they reached the ho-
tel, and the committee having placed
Joe in the best parlor suite, prepared to
depart.
