'Who is that old chap over there by the
ticker ?" asked young man who was standing
at the Southern Hotels marble counter, ST.
Louis, recently.

Daily"
The young man was astonished. He left the
counter and walked over TO the telegraph desk.
The elderly chap didn't look like auybody's
preconcelved notion OF Daily. He reminded
one more of faded preacher or schoolmaster
or apostle Of scence-a man with ideals and no
means. Mr.. Days frock coat was not of good
it and 1t did not appear 10 be new. His shave
was hree days old and his short gray mus

would have brought blush of sympathy 10 the

storm up and down the greenroOm or swear in

stage experiences be true he is competent to
give this needed instruction TO q student OF the

To wake the soul by tender strokes of art
To raise the genius aud amend the heart,
To make mankind In conscious virtue bold,

For this the tragic muse first trod tue stage,
Commanding tears 10 flow through every age.

Managers Feasts.

When actors partake of repast on the stage
there are usually a number OF people In the
audience who ask themselves care the vlands
real?" WE'LL sometimes they are and some
times they are not. During Salvlnt's last en-
gagement In San Francisco the writer happened
to be invited back on the stage when "Frlend
Fritz" was the bill of the evening. The scene
at the breakfast table was on, but there was a
muffied conversation between Fritz and HaneZo
that could hardly have been intended for the
ears of the audience. From their remarks IL
will be learned precisely what the meal con-
sisted of.
Just taste this bsque and give me your opin-
ion," said Fritz aloud.
The soup was tasted In Silence.
Then HaneZo said soto v0ce: cts awful,
governor, there's no salt In IT," Then aloud,

replied, PERFECT, peffectP'
Enter Catherine with the fish, which was a
half loaf Of rye bread cut in the shape of a
fish and garnisbed with lettuce and floating in
a gravy OF soup. Josrph's violin was heard by
the audience while it was being served, but not
Fritz's remarks when he whispered:
Eat the fish, boys"
II can't, governor" said Hanezo. Rye
bread doesn't agree with me-"
The pork pie was next served but instead of
pork it contained apples.
"Aha!" exclaimed Fritz aloud, "This is your
favorite dish-a pork pie" To which Hanezo
answered with jolly laugh, and then whis
pered:
Governor, L can't eat pie; Pm banting."
The Rhin wine and the claret were genuine,
and the glasses were always set down empty
This is accounted for from the fact that Mr.
Salvini is too gond an Italian TO drink poor
quality of wine, and the bottles therefore con-
tain the best that can be purchased.
In Philadelphia" said Mr.. Salyini TO the
writer al erward, "a friend of mine presented
