Coghlan, playing at what was then AL
baugh's opera house. One afternoon /
was in the box office when three ladies
came in, followed by 100 children, boys
and girls. One of these ladies stepped
up to the window and said: We have
just an even hundred children here, and
here is check for S25 to pay for the
tickets for them. She handed in a
check signed George Dewey, and the
tickets were passed out to the lady.
The happy youngsters were soon en-
joying the play. I didn't know George
Dewey from Adams off OK, and asked
the ticket man who he was. He told
me that Mr.. Dewey was a naval officer,
and that; it was not the first time that
he had handled his checks in that way;
that once each season, anyway, the chill
dren from some of the several orphan
asylums were given such treats by the
gentleman, but that he seldom attend
ed = performance himself. Now, have
been in the theatrical business for many
years, but that was the first time
ever knew any one person to be thought
full enough to put up s25 for the pur-
pose Of affording enjoyment to the chill
dren OF an orphan asylum"

him. I could see the fire in the COB

and we did. That gobbler marched
straight over to where the peacock was
still pirouetting and admiring the
CLINT of his iridescent plumage, bounced
on him and never let up until he had
picked out the last feather Of the gor-
geous tail. I gathered up the feath-

Terrible Revenge Of : Turkey Cob
bier Upon . vainglorious
Peacock.

Il have always believed" the colonel
continued, according to the Galveston
News, that animals have far more in
telligence than they are commonly
credited with. lam sure they can talk
to one another. A case in point: You
see that turkey gobbler and hen out
there? Let me tell you an actual fact
about them. L. M. johnson presented
me with very handsome peacock. He
was splendid bird, and the beauty of
his plumage was the wonder of the
neighborhood. One afternoon I saw
him strutting around and making a
magnificent display Of his gorgeous
tail feathers. Mrs. Turkey looked on
admiringly for awhile, and trotted over
to where gobb1er was quietly mapping
under peach tree. They were engaged
for amoment in earnest conversation.
Then Mr.. Gobbler Strengthened him
self up, stiffened his wings, gave a
