tobacco, so we must not be unjust.
Noticing recently that Manager 7 n
Hill is getting on his broken leg ss,;.
reminds me of an incident which 80
place some years ago when young ma
in the balcony at the STANDARD thsss..
seemed TO DE just full enough TO 800
investigation and call for his ensmis. :
come forward and get killed. You ~.
seen that style of jag which yearns h.
something to crush and mutilate. II yanI
orally finds several of those before IA ssr
through.
This young man sat with his hat on ana
rested mis- broad, intelligent feet on ~
seat in front of him. When the usher asksi
him for his check he told him to get ont !,
he would beat out his brains with damn
towel. On, he was coarse, bad man Al
AiiS iltlCA O. q tdAOs o4AEAk, ElFLlSl 64ra
with poSnpadour hair and an Eden Ma,s
dress suit.
The bad man looked around owe, n.
house and babe the show to open M M
turn loose. He was temporarily in ~
session of the house, and glad of Ii. IA
her go; we're all I'M Ring her IN. Az
damn DE the first Teller that says 'nuiFs
Pretty soon 8 visiting pastor from Mana
sat down in the seat in front of the tougs
gent from Avenue A and gently asked bin
to take down his feet, as they aunavsi
him and sort of chafed him under ~
arms.
The bad man smiled at the good ma,
and sort Of tickled him under the arm.
with the toe of his boot. "I'm here. eide,
you bet your sweet life; 'at's swat's ms,.
ter. l come in here and set where jaa
by gosh happen to want to. Reserved
seats no object to me. Where ! set down
Is my reserve seat. See?"
Just then the visiting pastor from Main,
gathered the massive feet, one under each
arm, and gently took for the aisle. Gayy
he tripped up the aisle, knocking Of /
lumbar vertebrae at every jump. Around
he went to the stair, and so trucking aons
down with the bad man at his heels, she'd
ding front teeth and bleeding at the noss
at every bump, down the iron-shod stain
way and so on out into the street and into
the arms of a policeman, who wasn't quieh
enough to get away and so had to take
charge of the defendant and Lead hin
away.
Should the bad man who never had 10
reserve a seat" ever read these lines he vii
understand that the visiting pastor from
Maine who scattered splinters of spine and
things down the stairway Of the STANDARD
thester was J. NJ. HILL
We should learn from this at all times a
avoid those things from which we Should
abstain.
