never see company board a train but look
out for trouble, and generally see it before
many miles are covered. Only yesterday a.
comedy troupe came down on this traina
They were all huddled in one end of the car
for awhile, leading man and leading lady,
soubrette, singing chambermaid, first old
man, low comedian, first walking gentleman
and Juvenile. Besides these there was the
manager and press agent. While the train
was in motion you couldn't hear much bur
you could see 'em gestculating and sparring
away like lot OF crazy pantomimists. But
when the train stopped, as it did once or
twice suddenly, their shrill voices pIped up
like calliope. Everybody appeared to be
by the ears, and finally one of the men came
ambling down forward and asked to share

What seems to be the casus beli?
II believe that low comedian, Jacobs ha s

him to raise riot at the drop of hat. He's
