when lie Wanted Candy and Peanuts,
They Were Not to BE Had.

Just as Mr.. Suffer was starting for
the railroad station with his wife and
children TO take very long journey.
Mrs. Suffer exclaimed:
''See here, John. We can never 60
away without some fresh broken can
dies. No one ever went on a railroad
journey who didn't have a lot along"
"And l. put in Miss Della Stuffer.
aged 2, "insist on some peanuts and
cough drops.
That's all right, . said Suffer eve
..an buy all those things on the train.
There are about ten men who spend
their time marching through the cars
selling fresh broken candies and cough
drops. Whatever else happens to the
traveller, he's never allowed to run short
of those commodities. +"
But when they boarded the train the
army of peanut vendors, cough drop
dealers and fresh broken candy mer-
chants was nowhere to be seen. Ordi-
narily the traveller was pelted with
these goods until he had to buy and eat
some in self defense. On this occasion,
however, not single peddler was in
sight
Outrageous, said Suffer to the
conductor ''Do you mean to say that
the company has ceased to provide its
patrons with fresh broken candies and
recently roasted peanuts? What has be-
come of the fellows who ohucked apples
and oranges on your lap and funny
magazines and things? Is this concern
run by railroad men or what!'
"Mr. Suffer, !" replied the conductor,
"the last time you travelled ON this road
you kicked because the trainboy biffed
you in the eye with an apple which he
wished to dispose of and made your nose
bleed with packet of cough drops
which he SHE'D at you with little too
much force You said you'd sue the
company for damages for assault and
battery. The company got scared at
your threats and had the boys taken
off,"
The traveller burst out into torrent
of invective. "Blame the bloated cor
porationsl" he yelled. That's the sort
of ballad and waltz that we shall get
from them until the day comes when
the government will be in complete con-
troll of all the transportation interests.
Then he went back to Mrs. Stuffer
in the rear of the car and began some
heated remarks about millennium or
something which it was understood he
had sighted on the starboard ofhng.-

FREE COFFEE AND CAKES.
Custom Now In Vogue ON First Nights In
London Flayhouses.


"By the way, " said gentleman who
arrived here from England a few days
ago. "have you heard of tho London
theatrical managers latest scheme to
attract a crowd on first nights? Well,
it's rather odd, and ! wouldn't be sur
prised if the New Workers copied it be-
fore long, although the circumstances
are somewhat different here
"You know, the little tea and coffee
rooms in London that correspond to the
New York coffee and cake saloon are
much more numerous than here, and
there is sure to be one near every thea
ter.
1T is the custom there for great
crowds to como to the pit and gallery
entrances Of the theaters long before tho
time of opening the doors, The pit is
one of the best parts of the theater for
seeing and hearing and it costs only 60
cents, but there are no reserved seats,
so those who come early get the good
places.
"It is common, in the case of impor-
tant first nights, for long line of peo-
pie to form at the pit doors before it is
opened, and when the play is very sue
cessful and popular this may continue
for an indefinite number of nights.
"It has now become the custom to
admit those who care to pay sixpence
extra for the privilege at $3.50. Then
they get good seats, but they have to
wait a prodigiously long time in their
places before the play begins
"This state of things recently inspired
some ingenious manager with another
happy thought. He hit on the plan OF
providing FREQ coffee and cakes, from
the nearest tea and coffee rooms, to the
crowd waiting in the pit on the first
night of his new play. 1t proved such a
good arrangement that the others fol-
lowed Tho example. New York Her

why General Butler Was Relieved.


Colonel Woodwork told some good
stories about General Butler. He said
that Butler himself told him as late as
1884 that he never knew the real reason
why he was deprived of his military
command by General Grant. 1t was
only few years ago that Woodwork
got the facts from Grants brother-in-
law, Major Dent, who was the staff
officer sent with the order for Buffers
relief He said that while no reason
was openly given at the time, Butler
was actually displaced because be was
not a graduate of West Point. This
would not appear on the face of it to be
a sufficient cause, but Grant explained
it to Dent one day in the course of a
confidential interview.
eff, said he, 81 were to send But
Ter specific order to do something with
his army, he might obey and he might
not. He was too able and original not
to reason himself into the belief that
might have given different instructions
if knew all that he knew of the local
situation. He therefore almost always
had plan of his own that he thought
was better than mine or any body else's,
SO that could never tell just what he
would do or where he would be at a
given time. OF course that was fatal TO
any systematic campaign, and had to
replace him with West Pointer, whose
first lesson in war is the necessity of
prompt obedience to the commanding
general. Butler was too brilliant to be
reliable - Boston Advertiser.
