Man is hog by nature. He goes to
a public entertainment and is handed
a program containing a list of the
amusement he has paid for. He has
no right to expect more-but he does.
After every selection he claps his
hands and stamps his feet until the
performer must again render his part
or prolong the show into the wee sma'
hours to allow the hog to exercise his
armus muscles. We seen that in many
of the large theaters of the country
encores are never responded to, but
the hog can have the selection that
tickles him repeated at the close of the
regular performance by paying another
admission fee. This would be good
plan to ing in on Great Bend audi
ences, in which the genus swine is toll
erably predominant.
