SO HE KEPT HIS SEAT.

a Stranger in Church Not to BE Scared
by Rich Pewholders.
A Brooklyn preacher who has been
considerably advertised OF late told
New York Advertiser man OF an incl
dent which many people may not yet
have heard. lie said that man who
had not been to church in very long
time finally hearkened to the per-
suasions of his wife and decided to
go. He got the family all together
and they started early. Arriving at
the church. there were yet very few
people in it and no ushers on hand.
so the man led his family well up the
aisle and took possess.o on OF a nice
pew.
just as the services were about to
begin pompous looking old man
came in. walked TO the door OF that
pew and stood there. exhibiting evil
dent surprise that il was occupied.
The occupants moved over and offered
him room to sit down. but he de-
cline TO be seated. Finally the old
man produced card and wrote upon
it with a pencil:
Il pay for this pew"
He gave the card to the stranger
occupant who the preacher remarked.
had he been like many people would
have at once got up and left But the
stranger adjusted his glasses and.
with smile, read the card. Then he
calmly wrote beneath it:
How much do you payP'
To this inquiry the pompous gen.
tleman. still standing wrote abruptly:
Two hundred dollars a year slr.n
The stranger smiled as though he
we're pleased. looked around to COM
pare the pew with others admired it's
nice cushion and furnishings and
wrote back:
ii don't blame you. 1t is we'll
worth it.
The pompous gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat. The
preacher remarked that he would
rather have pewholder OF the style
OF the stranger than of the pew
lessee.

OLDEST PL.AYBILL.

Printed I'm 1868, and Announcing an I'm
tertainment ut Drury Lane.
1t was the custom OF early English
actors to announce their performances
by sound OF trumpet and in the alb
sence of any noise from vehicles
this method. although primitive.
proved effeotive enough. Such was
the custom during Shakespeare stay
In London. although some little while
before that period. according TO the
Collector 1t had become common to
ainx printed bills TO the doorposts of
me theaters in addition to blowing
the trumpet. This was probably the.
earliest form OF Playful, and the first
date OF 1t being used dates back as far
as loo3' In that year Strype, in his
Life OF GrindaL " stating the objec-
Jections of the archbishop TO dramatic
amusements, mentions that he repre-
sented to the queens secretary that
the players did then daily. but
especially on holidays set up their
bills inviting TO plays" What these
primitive playbills were like or
how they were worded is a matter
regarding which we have no informa-
tion. not even solitary specimen hav-
ing been preserved to gladden. the
heart OF some enthusiastic collector.
Whether the names of the characters
in the plays were printed with those
of the actors who formed the cast
cannot be determined. The famous
Shakespearean commentator, Malone
states distinctly that the names were
not given. and. although his assertion
seems to have been made pretty much
az haphaZard he was probably cor
rect in his conclusion. At what time
tho custom of printing the dramatis
PERSONA and names of actors filing
the parts was adopted there is no
means OF determining with any degree
OF precision. The earliest playbill
known to be in existence distinctly
gives both nahes OF characters and
actors. 1t is dated 1868 and reads as
follows:

All this talk OF not having check
reins on horses is foolishness. But
don't use them to pull the horses
