Presently, in the middle of a
magnificent quintette, the bald

''Say!"
'Well?" was the reply, accompani-

Haberdasher's Story Concerning the
Girl Who Makes Buttonholes.
'Look here" said the customer,
''these cuffs have buttonholes on one
side only"
The haberdasher looked at the
cuffs and shrugged his shoulders re
signedly, says the N. Y. Sun.
Il am very sorry to have put you
to the trouble CT returning Them"
he said, "but our girls catch us oc-
casionally in spite of our watchful-
ness. We employ 130 of them, and
nearly every one Of 'em is just
watching her chance to run in job
on us. You see they get cent for
every buttonhole they make.
''There are five buttonholes on d
cuff, and the cuffs are put in boxes
containing a dozen pair each. We
look through every box, but cant
take the time TO examine each cuff
separately. They know that, and
take advantage of it. It costs US
de;e, too, for if each girl fools US on
only one buttonhole a day it costs
us about $40 week, which eats up
the profit on good many dozen
pairs of cuffs.
''In the same way they get the
better OF US on the pearl buttons we
use for our shirts. They cost US a
cent apiece, and the way they
disappear is wonderful. Scolding
doesn't do a bit of good, for they
look as innocent a angels. Frequent
ly they have the nerve to wear the
buttons they have taken right in
our shop. I have often caught
dozen at time with our buttons on
their dresses. When l make them
surrender them they are cross and in
dignant. / tell you they are daisies. "

Announcements,

Mr.. Joseph Murphy, the great Irish
comedian, and his excellent company of
players, will appear at the Los Angeles
theater the week of January Sth, in his
two Irish comedies, Shaun Rhue and
Kerry Cow. Mr.. Murphy is a great
story teller, and here is one OF his ex-
periences:
Joe Murphy, though solid, material
istic-looking man in physique, has a
great liking for the supernatural and has
faith in an influence that is beyond
ourselves" as he expresses it.
Pressed for the foundation for this
belief he does not attempt metaphysl-
cal argument to show cause for the faith
that is in him. He simply save:

People with curious and investigat-

evasive reply, may push the comedian

based on?'

The False Friend, a beautiful romance
drama in four acts, will be presented for
the first time in Los Angeles at the Bur-
bank the coming week. It is said to be
very strong and exciting play, full Of
mirth and merriment and thrilling stu
ations and intense emotional scenes,
and although Darrell Vinton appears as
a gambler, the play is in no sense bor-
der drama or on the blood and thunder
order-it is the story of the deceit and
duplicity of false friend VINO causes an
arrangement between man and wife.
The man, though professional gambler
is gentleman in every sense of the
word, man of honor, heart and princi-
pie. The story is well told, and the vein
of comedy of the most amusing kind;
and the play as a whole cannot fail to
interest. Mr.. Vinton will be supported
by George Woodthorpe and the entire
company. The scenic effects will be of
the best as is always the case at the

the entire week with matinee Oh Sat-

other works, the 48 preludes and fugues
of Bach from memory. He has at diff
