WHY INHAUS
DIDN'T RESIGN
Two Surprises for the
Stage Manager at the
Grand.
Made the Recipient Of a Hand
some Present From the
Company.
How Mortimer Snow Successfully )
Enacted the Role Of the Heavy
Villain.

Louis Imhaus the popular stage
manager of the Grand Opera-house,
had two surprises in store for him Fri
day night, and TO all his friends he
now tells Of the trick that was sue
cessfully played upon him.
The members of the company de-
cided upon giving him a valuable
Christmas present, as he has by many
acts endeared himself to them. It took
the form of a silver mounted inlkwell,
a solid silver penrack, paper-cutter,
pencil-sharpener and other articles to
make a complete outfit. The penrack
bearing a suitable inscription and a big
card, headed, Merry Christmas to you
and many of them" and containing
the names of the subscribers, was
made ready.
How to get him out of his office while
the present was arranged on his desk
was the problem, and happy scheme
was thought of and carried out
Assistant Stage Manager Nichols.
after the second act, rushed into
Irohaus' office and startled him by say
ing. excitedly, There's too much JOSH

who is doing it 2" asked Imhaus.
Well said Nichols. Mort Snow is
the ringleader, but they are all in it.
and when ! demonstrated with Snow
he told me 10 go to warmer place
than Frisco.
Snow had posted himself at a con-
venient SPOT and as Imhaus came
quickly out of his office he almost ran
against him.
Mr.. Nichols tells me-" said Imhaus,
that YOU have been joshing on
the stage, and you told him to go to
Hades when ne demonstrated with
well. what of it?" said Snow. 'If
'you don't like it you can go there, too,
and be hanged to you.
Inhaus was surprised, and IL struck
bim that Snow had been celepratlhS
Christmas. He thought he would hu-
NOR him. but Snow apparently goI
madder and madder. BY TINS time al
the company had gathered round
them. and when Snow said IN thunder
tones, 1--WE are all tired OF. your
blamed officiousness, and II you don
send in your resignation / will =,

ward his office, using concillatoTy
words, and just then the young laoy

chieftains. The real revelations do not
affect Welburn, whose storm-beaten
career juts out as one of the great
prominences in the history of local
lore. The men now in the twilight of
the coming night of humiliation and
disgrace, the citizens of grave mien
and hOnored names whose lives will
soon be spotted with the leprosy of
crime, will furnish the real sensation.
About their lives will yet cluster the
accusations that will not down, the ex-
pOsures which they would now gladly
give all their ill-gotten gains to hide.
It is along these lines that develop
ments may soon be expected.

on that OF the United States, was adopt
ed Sept. 23, 1895.
A triangular blue union, having a
sir gle star and five stripes, three OF
red and two of white, is the flag of the
republic.
Very little reliable news of the pres
ent insurrection can be obtained, ow-
ing to the censorship of the press and
the mendacity of the leaders on both
sides.
The first serious revolution took
place in 1913, under the leadership OF
Narciso Lopez. who repeated his at,
tempt to free the island from Spanish
control in 1851.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Never work for candidate with a
poor memory.
Never vote for a man whose horse
stops when he says Get up"
Never run for Office unless your char
acter will stand the witness box test.
Never write letters during the cam
paign. Documentary evidence is hard
to lie down.
Never vote for an individual whose
wife is president of the local women
suffrage club.
Never argue politics with a fool un-
less you're fool yourself 1t takes a
fool to vanquish a fool.
Never bet your money early in the
campaign. You may have chance OF
losing it at better odds.
Never vote for candidate who
speaks involved sentences He is sure
to have an involved head
Never follow leader who is invaria-
bly, consistent. Consistency may be a
jewel, but politicians are not jewels
Never become too enthusiastic in
praise of your rival. It's good chris
tianity, but poor politics. People may
take you at your word.
