Talking about actors" said one Of a
a Loo
minds me of an incident I once wit
messed IN a New York theatre. Harry
CorsOn Clarke, the Salt Lake faVorite
ana 1n1mttable comedian. was the star
IN this little scene. You know that the
loII over the stage is as full of rigging
as IOur-maSter under full sail. and
II S wonder that such incidents az
the one L am about to relate do not
occur frequently. because the rigging
geared up with all sorts of weights
ana the ropes are not examined once
IN hYe years. Well, Clarke was stand

would have proved very. embarrassing
put not so with Clarke. He merely
gazed at the object, then glanced at

that he walked slowly around the
weight, the fall of which came so near
cracking his skull. 1t saved the dav.

W. A. Williams OF the Paulev Safe
company of st. Louis, who leaves TO-
Jay Tor the northwest, talked for soma

PrIiIhclpally upon jails, but he also
talked on other interesting subjects.

can convince your people that
you must have new jails. or new pat

d pretty good demand for such things
IN oregon and Washington, it will nav
me better to go home
BUSINESS is not nearly so good any
where as 1t was couple Of years ago.
ana TINS IS not due to the fact that the
lunoer Of criminals has decreased,

hard times. We constructed the coun-

You have very fair little town,

these big blocks be cut into four. be-

The Corridor man interrupted with
Praise the Lord"
He continued that Utah was so warm
IN summer that all one needed to don
was Bill Nye's favorite articles of
clothing-"his own integrity and
pair of gold-rimmed spectacIes"-and
that 1t was so cold in winter that a
civilized man couldn't stand 1t. Mr..
Williams and the crowd couldn't agree
on the weather, and so the party broke
up for the night.
One of the most prominent married
ladies in the city could tell a. very
funny little incident which happened
to her yesterday. if she only wished to.
but as she won't be likely to tell it,
the Corridor man will tell it for her.
She was walking along near the
knutsford, not paying particular at
tentiOn to anything or anybody. and
as she looked along the sidewalk, saw
what appeared to be a greenback Of
large denomination. She hurried
toward the coveted certificate and was
in the act Of STOPPING for it when she
heard a slide like Tony Barker used
to make when he was after the home
plate, and a big black hand tightly
clasped the precious fiver-for such it
proved to be. A big six-fOOt Guild
gentleman" was the winner and he
sauntered away chuckling and rolling
his big saucer-eyes, while Mrs.
looked amazed, then became embar-
raised, then blushed scarlet, looked Up
and down the street to see if anyone
had seen the affair, and hurried away.
happy that no friend had appeared
upon the scene. To anyone standing
on that Third South street corner. it
was a funny-yes, a cOmical-sight to
see that lady of fashion and that des-
perate son of Ham both make a dive
for that stray FLYER.
