How Ticket Sellers Make Money


GLOW is it that ticket sellers on small
salary can afford to live so well?" repeated
the veteran theatrical man after me.
"Why, my boy, it is simple enough. Stand
in the box Office of a large theater any
night and you will understand it. You see,
a large part Of the seats are sold within
half an hour before each performance.
That means the handling of great deal of
money in very short time. In the rush a
great many people are bound to get ex.
cited and forget all about how much
money they have and how much change
they should get back. Their carelessness
is the ticket sellers gain. Not that he
does anything wrong or that there is any
thing approaching to cheating.
For instance, an excited man rushes up
to the window after the curtain has gone
up, throws down ten dollar bill and
asks for five seats. He shonld get back
two dollars and half in change. But as
soon as the tickets are handed him he
grabs them and rushes into the theater.
Another man behind him shoves the bills
to one side and demands the best seats in
the house.
"This happens once or twice in the course
of the night, and that is the reason why
ticket sellers have a much better income
than most folks suppose.
"Ticket selling for circus il still more
profitable. knew man who once offered
a large royalty for the privilege Of running

Couldn't Find tho Lake.

geography of this country, fell into the
mistake so common with Europeans, of
not apprectatjng the rather large scale on
which nature has sealt with us in the mat

Near Concord, Mass, is Walden pond,
the little body OF water near which Thoreau
lived alone in n hut for about two years.
His most famous book is entitled oval

life in the hut and ranks with the master
pieces of American literature.
: Net longago q German professor, engaged
in studies of America, received from Wash

afterward, in writing to an eminent Ameri-

scholar said he had looked AL over the map
without finding Walden pond. This
seemed to him an amazing omission

Reading Character by the Nose.

"You can almost tell a PERSONS charac-
ter from the nose alone, remarked Pro
fessor Oppenheim. 'All great men have
great noses. The Greek nose, which has
no protuberance, but is straight, argues
great sense OF aesthetics, OF beauty, but no
character and no power Of contention.
Large nostrils show courage. People
of fearless disposition breathe fully and
freely All the flercer animals have di-
lated nostrils The dropping nostril shows
histrionic talent. If the nose also droops
1t denotes tragic power, and if only the
nostril the capacity is marked for the in
depreciation of comedy.
Where the nose il thin at the bridge il
shows generosity, while a nose that is thick
at the bridge argues acquisitiveness. When
it is tiptilted like the petal of flower the
person is inquisitive. A projecting nose
argues disposition to investigate. 1t is
ahead of the person, AS it were, and wants
to scent ont things. .h-London Cor. New
