AROUND THE CORRIDORS,

members of my profession are sometimes
| able TO turn what at first appears 10 be great
| personal misfortune into real blessing" said
| L. ID. Morris, a theatrical man at the Baldwin
yes erday. "There are Illustrations innumer-
able to be had of the truth of this assertion but
the one have in mind refers TO Jack Mahara,
the advance agent OF minstrel troupe, whom
| met In the southern part of the State a few
days ago. Jack was passenger on the Mis-.
souIi Pacific train which was held up near
Carretta, l. T.. on the night OF October 90 by
the Cook gang OF outlaws. During the fusillade
of bullets he received one 10 the forehead
which took away piece of the SKULL and
which the doc ors for time thought would
prove fatal. However. he pulled through all
right, and the surgeons patched him up with
silver plate about three inches long, which
does duty where the dislodged portion OF his
skull was fitted by nature. The misfortune in
this case Is Offset by the value of that plate
and Jacks experience with The outlaws as ad-
vertising mediums. he has a Embarrassing
story TO tell the reporters which always calls
for an illustrated article and The show which
he represents meanwhile gets the benefit"
