How n Baseball Crank Expressed His
Feelings In n Thcater.
Tho curtain had just risen. md the
audience was silently absorbing the
heroine's pitiful story. SILVER music
with ice down its back vas being
played by tho six thirsty German gen.
tlcmen inside the railing. and an
asthmatic wind machine was giving n
cheap and inferior imitation of n
March blizzard. The villain entered.
md siealthily aimed q blow nj tho de-
fenseless woman. which She lodged.
Then Q voice in the gallery said:
''Ono strike!"
There was q faint stir in tho audi
ence. but the play went Oh. Soon the
hero and villain had . scene together.
Tho villain raised his cane, and the
hero hurled q paper-weight ~ him
with miserable aim. Again tho voice
was heard:

Tho thing was becoming monoto

officer reached the gallo-y. however.
the hero and tho villain had another
meeting. Words passed between
them, and the hero knocked tho villain
down. Again hal voice was heard:
'O-O-o-o-oi \ three-baggcr!'
Tho villain sprung to his feet and
rushed upon the hero. drawing a huge
bowic-kni:c as he advanced. Then
the owner OF tho voice stood upon the

somswhat Too WITTY.

It's q great thing TO be ready witted.
I saw an instance Of IL recently. Over
at the Union Depot, 10 Canal street,
Chicago, they have an Information
bureau" and a neat sign over the open
window tine fact. It's a
very clever idea, since Q great many
people frequently want to know some
thing about the town or about trains,
but It is the only one in town and it
strikes sophisticated folks as very
queer.
1 saw a very flip young fellow look at
the sign recently and smile. Then he
went up to the window and 1 knew he
was going to try to be funny at the
bureau mans expense. 1 edged up
carelessly and heard him ask:
what kind you got2"
"Kind o. whatp" asked the informa-
ton man.
"Kind of information" said the Zip
young man.
The bureau man stumbled" In a
second. He saw he had run against a
Joker, but he didn't show IL In his man
ner. He Just said, in a business like
tone and a perfectly straight face:
All KlnQ6.'
"Does it come with or withoutp"
both ways. Which III you have
SCOT any cut biasp"
PLENTY, and stripes down the
side."
as 1t red, white and blue?"
ut is, and shot with stars; also
fringed. How muchW you havep"
The humorist seemed to be disap-
pointed In some way, for he mumbled
something and sneaked away, looking
crushed as a banana peel under a 200
pound mans boot. 1 asked the man
at the window if he had many custom
ers Of this kind. He laughed and said
that the travelling men usually had
fun with him when they had time.
