is no more stranger to the great me
tropois or any other civilized city in
the country than peroxide is to a SOU
brette. Harry Connor has new suit
of clothes and Hoyt had new copy of
Puck, and that Is all there is to the matter.
Connor borrowed shoe horn and got
into the trousers, and HOyt wired to-
gether the important portions of "A Trip
to China town and "A Texas Steer" and
covered them over with the comic weekly.
A boy in the gallery said that Hoyt loaded
a shotgun with typewrittsn tests and fired
them at the manuscript as Kelar fires
rings at wooden box, but,no one believes
that.
If one has never ssen either OF the two
comedies alluded to and can hypnotic

fair chance of la ughing. IL the man be deaf
