Origin of s.Deadhen ds.''

Very few of our readers are probably
aware of the origin of the word dead
head which is SO frequently used in
connection with theatrical representa-
TONS 1t is stated to be as follows:
Many years ago, at the time of turn
pixies, the principal avenue of a road
passed close to the entrance of road
leading to the cemetery As this ceme-
terry had been laid out some time pre-
vious to the construction of the road 1t
was arranged that all funeral process
sions should be allowed to pass along
the latter free of toll. One day, as a
well-knoWn physician, who was driv-
ing along this road, stopped 20 pay his
toll, he observed to the keeper: ''Con-
sidering the benevolent character of
our profession, think you ought to let
us pass free of charge" mo, NO. doc
tor" said the gate-keeper, eve can't aft
ford that, as you send too many dead
heads through as it is" The story trav-
eled around the country. and the word
..deadhead'' was eventually applied to
those who obtained free admission to
th theater-N. Y. Ledger
