Brokers Who Make a Business Supplying
Them to the Patrons.
"fou have no idea," said down
town man to Chicago Tribune repre-
sentative, chow many theater-goers
never go near q box Office to buy
tickets. There was a time when every
man bought his own ticket. But Of late
years press of business has broken up
the long line which used to stretch from
the window Of the ticket-seller clear
across the street. Now there are men
who furnish tickets to the best paying
theater-goers of the city. | know one
man who has an office downtown who
sells between three hundred dollars
and five hundred dollars worth of tick
cts every day, and when there is an
opera season or an extra attraction his
receipts are larger. Of course he has
the sanction OF the leading houses,
which furnish him SO many seats day.
He knows his customers and they are
people who want the best there is in
the house. He makes selections him
self, and his patrons never complain.
He knows the coming attractions, OF
course, in advance of the average go
err and notifies his patrons of the dates
of the same, asking how many tickets
will be wanted, and for what nights.
When he receives answers, if they are
favora BILE, he selects the seats and
sends the tickets by mail. The tran
saction is strictly commercial. At the
end of thirty day Us he sends his bill for
tickets furnished and gets his remit
lance promptly. The people who pat
ronize him pay more for their seats
than they w ould at the box Office. but
they are willing to pay extra for the
comfort of being served. This extra i:
the compensation of the broker. 1t has
become : thriving business with him."

How an Animal Afflicted with the All
ment Can Be Cured.
This disease occurs often with the
horse and sonnet times with the dog.
The animal as rule is always hungry
and thin, the skin sticking to the ribs,
fitted to the bones almost as tight as

by poor feed. or by the animal being
greedy feeder and not digesting its
food. A farmer who feeds poor, smut
tv food, and not very often, will get
his horse into the habit of plunging
his head into the manager and gulping
food as if he were going to catch
train. In little while the horse be-
gins to look thin and does not act as
lively as usual and the owner doses
him with condition powders, but with
out avail. and it is not long before his
horse is run down. First. says a
writer in New York Tribune. give the

The Curious Manner in Which They Are

Experiments in training dogs to act

GUS When q dog is to act as messenger
two men ere detached from c post and
walk about Z nilc, the animal being led
tionary, while the other returns
to his starting point. On being set
loose the dog Immediately sets in pur-
suit of the latter. and finds his way to
the post with unerring regularity. To
insure the delivery of dispatches, a
small bag of dark material is strapped
on the animals neck. AS sentinel the
dog will scent a stranger at distance
Of one hundred yards, and will COM

disquietude in some other manner. In
order to accustom them to scouts duty
the dogs are encouraged to search a
field or a thicket in which soldiers
wearing foreign uniform lie in am
bush. AS soon as the animals perceive
the latter they retreat, running to the
soldiers who accompany them, an

Their instinct seldom misleads them,
and they have been found very useful
as 4 means of communicating with pa

In time of war they are also intended
to search for wounded soldiers and
loiterers, as well as to carry provisions
and ammunition to outposts. An inter

afforded by the spectacle of these four
