HOW HE GOT NEW PAIR.
An actor stood on a shady corner of Broad
way one morning this week congratulating
himself that he was alive. He was dressed
rather warmly for the season and his straw hat
needed renovating. Just as he was wondering
whether he would better enjoy drink or q
shave on q spare Is cents that he jingled fondly
about in his trousers pocket he espied another
actor coming toward him, a fortunate, elc-

and his clothes drew near.
London, was the reply.
"Well, they look like Waukesha," said the
first actor.
The well-dressed man smiled and passed on.
but was soon hailed from doorway by tall,
cavernous-jawed tragedian, who shouted:
Say, where did you get those trousers?"
London" was again the reply.
Pretty tough, amt they, said the tragedian.

The young actor began to look little dis
turbed, but passed on without further remark
A little further along an understood comedian
espied him from the opposite side of the street
and came hurrying over, crying:

did you get those trousers?''

drink would be the better 15-cent investment.

Zled and needy person, lis it fact that these

The actor looked at the speaker sadly and
then, taking him by the arm, said:

these trousers. I guess they must be pretty
bad from the unanimity of Condemnation that
