following Is from "Biff" Halls Chicago
letter in the New York Mirror. The
manager OF one of the down town

Gently, in honor OF swell attraction,
and ne leased one to see how he liked
it. Not being used TO It he was very
uncomfortable and perSpired freely.
The next day he sent around 10 the
clothier from whom he had rented IL
and asked its price. 1t was satisfacto-
nv and the money was given up. II
turned out afterward that the manager
had become disgusted with life in a
dress suit and had gone out after the
performance TO drown his sorrows In
the usual way. He landed home at a.
m. with little more than the buckle Of
the dress vest left. That is why ne
sent around the next day to purchase It.
All OF which reminds us again that
sporting life is great life II one lives
close up TO Ii.
