NOT ON THE BILL.
A Funny Scene in Sunset CITY

A free show was given in the Mid winter
Fair grounds Thursday afternoon. but
there were few spectators beyond a thou
sand workmen and Sheriff McDade's dep
uty. Had it been properly advertised
standing room in the grand central plaza
would be at a premium, but it was not on
the official prOgramme-unfortuna for
the Midwinter Fair financial department..
Anybody with a half dollar In his pocket
would gladly give the price OF admission
only to see the fun.
A comedy i'll real life, more correctly
most ridiculously funny pantomime. was
acted in the grand plaza. For scenery
there was a background of pines. blue
skies, Strawberry Hill. spires and fan tas-
tic buildings. The scene of action was a
roughly constructed building that did
service for restaurant-Mr. c. s. Jack
sons restaurant. Until the Midwinter
Fair should OpeD this house was to stand
between the Mechanical Arts and Admin
istration buildings. And Mr.. jackson
was to feed the hungry in the interim.

Then trouble followed trouble for Mr..
expense, built himself restaurant, stocked
it with food. liquor. candies, ETC., in great
variety. Next he employed troop of col
ored walters, cooks and assistants In the
kitchen. 1t was known as ''colored
restaurant"
But there came a messenger from the
Sheriff, for Mr.. Jackson owed one man
over $1,000 and had not paid for his build
! ing.
"Wha can do. boss?" he asked with a
tinge of helplessness in his mellow voice
''Dey's done gone shut me up, boss, wifi

The builder paid visit to the restau-
rant. and his coming was watched by the
colorod employees with CONSERVATION.

and giving numerous illustrations, the
speaker proceeded To trace the history OF
the United States tariff from the begin

countries up to the present time.
The Surplus" he declared to be the
great pest and plague of our country, and
he showed how and why It accumulated.
The Norris and war tariffs were spoken
OF at length, as we'll as the Mills aid the
Mckinley bills, ana their substances and
the practical application OF their provisions
were fully discussed.
In conclusion, after having held the at

the professor caused a burst Of laughter
by declaring that the whole subject was
one of the least important in ECONOMICS,
and was really unworthy OF mOre than
