'There Is something absolutely baf.

of the sizes of audiences for any given
play. You know ] manage two thea.
ters here in New York. One Of them
holds about 1000 people and the other
holds about l.000 people.
Now. when we have "a play that Is
what we call great success at the
small theater-such n success that we
have to turn people away every night
1t Is almost invariable that the number
turned away is not far from 80 each
night-that Is TO say. 1000 people come
and get in and 30 come and cannot get
in. And when we have n similar sue
cess at the large thenter the avera &c
number of people turned away is just
. the same--about 30-that is. 1000 peo
pie come and get in and 30 come and
cannot get in.
Now, to all appearances the one
play has made hlst as big hit as the
other, so why is it that just about l,O3O
people want to see the one every night
and just about 1000 people want to see
the other every night? Why do the
2,O3O never come to the small theater?
They never do. Such n thing was nev

wide dam.
Many people from the town and sur

until late in the evening.
The citizens of the village are excited
over the gusher and several more wells
will soon be put down. The first well
was sunk q few months ago and since
then three others have been struck. All
of the wells are yielding great quanti-
