A DANGEROUS GAME OF BLUFF.
Nerve Displayed by Theatrical Manager
in EoolhardY Feat.

in Foolhardy Feat
''Sam T. Jack is a splendid buffer"
said gentleman from Kansas yester-
day. Il remember him best when he
was travelling through Kansas with
burlesque road company. He once struck
Dodge City with a big opera bouffe
troop. 1t was years ago, when Dodge
City was at the very verge of civiliZa-
tion-just hanging on TO the edge, as it
were. There was no regular show
house, and no decent hotel. There was
plenty of money, though, and that
brought Jack and his company. The
town was full of cowboys and roughs,
and they all determined to see the show
and incidentally have some sport with the
management.
"Mr. Jack learned this and realized the
necessity of impressing the natives with
a due sense of his awfulness as fighter
before the show began. At that time
one Peter Mccarthy was the deputy
sheriff of Dodge City, and was reason
ably efficient officer. For this reason it
was that he felt in duty bound to warn
Mr.. Jack of the awful possibilities of
exhibiting himself on the streets of
Dodge City in a white plug hat and
fancy vest. The well meaning deputy
sheriff affected to despise tenderfeet,
but because of this feeling of official
responsibility - which sentiment was
doubtless more thoroughly aroused at
the thought of possible free seat at
the show-he started in to give Jack
timely warning. and began his remarks
as follows:
".Be you the show bossT asked Pete.
"1 am, sir was the reply.
".You all allow to act out in the town
hall tonight, reckon?
"'Yes, sir
"'You goin y'se'lY
"Yes, sir
"'Be you goin to rustic around town
much in thet thar white stovepipe hat?
Well said Mr.. Jack, who had be-
come tired of being catechised, if you
will submit your questions in writing
provided you can write-l will lay off
day and frame my answers for you, but
let me ask question. Why do you want
to know whether will rustic or no, and
why this pointed reference to my
Greeley hatT'
"'Wall,' responded the sheriff, little
hot himself, ''cause | KEN in hyer to
give yer pointer; eff you do war thet
hat down town the boys are a-waitin
fer yer and they'll shoot it chock full o.
holes. They don't low no sech tiles in
Dodge Pete then looked at Sam as
much as to say that he thought the hat
would not be worn. But the sapient
Sammy smiled serenely and said, That's
the trick, is it? Well, that's funny
Now. if the boys in highfalutin hilality
should miss the hat and hit the wearer
what would be the result?
"'You jest stan your chances, but
reckin y won't do that-it's kinder
tickEsh; not but tibet the boys are good
shots, but the hkker is a kinder lively
an-an-wall. they mought raise little
ha'r, you know-seeY
''Just so,' said Sam as he continued
writing. When he had finished he
turned to Pete, and holding in his hand
a sheet of paper asked that genius if he
could read it. Pete could and did. 1t
read as follows:

ulterior notions of economizing expend-
ed powers; and this should never more
firmly be insisted on than in the case of
those abnormal creatures who say they
take no pleasure except in useful work
