The Thermometer.

The following conversation took
place in Llewellyn's drug store one
cold morning last week:
II looked at my thermometer as l
left the house," remarked Judge
Edwards. "and it marked I2o be-
luw."
What! only twelve below" ex-
claimed Jack Hayden. '.Must be
something wrong there. Mine showed
fifteen and was going down at that. -
''Yours must have been in a warm
place" said J. N. Baskett II have
Il very reliable thermometer and it
showed little over 16o below Just Il
moment ago"
Two or three others had their say,
and when the cold had been brought
down to 200 below MIR. Llewellyn
rose up and said;
"Gentlemen, please wait a mo-
ment.''
He opened the front door and the
thermometer he had hung up was
handed in to him. He took it and
passed it from man to man. that all
might see. 1t registered exactly one
below. Not a word was said for a
long time, hut. the silence was at last
broken by Capt. Frost, who began to
tell about the fish he caught in the
creek that runs by the haunted hill.

His Ice-house Patrons Freezing to
Death-Our Contemporary ravors
Beycoiting.

During the past week We have had
a large humher of patrons Of the
Opera House complain to us about
freezing while attending entertain
ments there. We sent some of tIfeu,
to Kahrich. He said the Opera
House was warm enough and he was
going to "ignore The LEDGER like
Hutton tried to do Z" The following
from the Iateltigencer shows that
Hutton is not ignoring him:
The small audiences at the opera
house of late are due in a great
measure to the lack of warmth in the
huil'ling. the room being so c.ld last
night that several were compelled to
go home before the play was flushed.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
management have had their attention
repeatedly called TO this great annoy
ance, no steps have apparently been
taken in the matter. There is
strong feeling among the most liberal
amusement patrons of the city te
stay al home hereafier-try the hoy
cotting act-anl see what effect that
will have. 1t seems strange that III
the ENJOYMENT of a monopoly Ct the
only place of amusement in the city.
the management does not look more
to the interest of patrons. If there
is not something done to remedy the
evils that have so long characterized
the opera house management rad
ical change-audiences in the future
will be nLlghty slim.

Mr.. Robert BurdettA the genial
humorist Of the Burlington Iukeye,
has again been taking Tho 6b,ic In
to his confidence by telli6g how he
sits down upon his enemies. We
think if his plan was generally adopt

friction overcome between buyers
and sellers. Flying into temper
over some business error or mistake
frequently leads to the writing Of
harsh letter that viii soon after place
the author on the stool Of repentance
