ONCE MORE THE SHO
Col. Hail Comes TO Asheville for
Two Perform


Two Performances.
Col. Halls show came in from Marion
last night and early this morning the
canyasmen were busy putting the tents
in shape on Southside avenue a few hun
dred wards below the Goodlakc curve.
Juvenile hearts and some older ones,
no doubt, were made happy by the
sight OF the white tents and there was a
general rustling around gathering up the
nckels necessary to admit the boys and
glrls to the show.
The crowd that came in from the
country was apparently not nearly as
large as usual on occasions of this
character but the city crowd mustered
out fully, and the way between the
square and the show grounds was the
most popular street among pedestrians.
Many of the school children came out in
the morning to see the parade, and by
the time this attraction came along the
streets were full of people determined to
see this much of the show if no more
The parade was not very imp posing.

After an existence Of much utility Of
about 400 years 1t is noticed that italic
Is declining measuTably in the favor OF
printers, particularly on newspaper
work. II IL occasionally seen, however,
In important editorials, This lack of fa.
vor has, it would seem, become more
marked since typesetttng machines have
come SO largely into use on the daily
newspapers,
The increased output from the ma
chimes has q strong tendency to do away
with the use Of italic, every effort being
directed to the simpliacation Of their
product Thus 1t has been considered
good enough to put the names Of news
papers and other titles in roman on
newspapers the composition for which
plant has been uttered, and IL there has
been any comment 1t has been too weak
to mako itself heard. The public does
not care anything about the matter. All
that is wanted Is a readable paper. When
machines are turning out thousands Of
ems per hour In the usual rush to get q
paper to press, there il no time to be
fritteTed away In going to an italic case
situated perhaps at the other end Of the
composing room, The face stands as
much chance of being used as there IL

up everything the train boy had, includ-

Then started, accompanied by another

some bread aud butter. We waded
through the snow, and by the time we
got there were nearly frozen, but we
could detect the odor of cooking Victuals

Tkero Is many sweet romance cher
ished by tho visitor to New York that

romance Is necessarily connected with
the hotels. In these old hotels oyery

friend led me down Broadway ON some
pretext or another, and we finally paused
before the old New York hotel.
II stopped there on my wedding
trip, he finally blurted out, MY wife
wished it, Her mother had stopped there
in her time and on her wedding trip
My vito was anxious to occupy the
same room that her mother had. We
had been married that day, and this was
our first hotel, just as it had been in
her mothers case, and my little ones
mind was surcharged with the romance
of the thing. But, like all young mar
ried folks, we had horror of being con-
spicuous and at the first didn't like to
say anything about 1t to tho olerlka At
last, however, mustered courage
enough to look over the register just to
ascertain whether the room---we knew
the number, floor and everything, as my
bride had figured 1t all up in her own
mind---was really occupied. We thought
we might get into it on some excuse or
another ImereIy desired to crafty her.
But couldn't find the number at all.
You can't fool a hotel clerk very easily
on such things, and in a little time he
had the whole thing out Of me-

but that particular room Is occupied by

"That settled it. So | went up stairs
and told my wife about it, There was
no help for It, Our room was good
enough, but she Thought 1t would be SO
nice If wo could have tho same one her

time to think much about it, for few
friends came In to SEQ us, and We were

and handed me key to the cherished
