A Theatrical Puzzle.

"There IS something absolutely baf-
fling to understand" said n theatrical
manager, about the perfect regularity
of the sizes of audiences for any given
play. You know | manage two thea
tiers here in New York. One of them
holds about 1000 people and the other
holds about 1000 people.
"Now, when we have a play that is
what we call a great success at the
small theater-such a success that we
have to turn people away every night
it 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 80 come and cannot get
in. And when we have a similar sue
cess at the large theater the average
number of people turned away is just
the same-about 30-that is, 1000 peo-
pie come and get in and 80 come and
cannot get in.
Now, to all appearances the one
play has made just as big hit as the
other, so why is it that just about 1000
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 thcater?
They never do. Such a thing was new
er heard of. It's little section in the
law of averages that | never could I'M
derstand."-New York Tribune.

During one Of the earliest visits OF the

dressed in Il simple manner, was cross
ing one of the Scottish lakes in a
steamer ana was curious to note every
thing relating to til" management of
the vessel and. among many other
things, the cooking. Approaching thr
galley, where II hrawny Highlander
was attending to the culinary matters,
he was attracted by the sayory odors
of pot Of "hodgcpodge," which the
highlander was preparing.
What is that?' asked the prince.

"Hodgepodge. sir" was the reply.

question.
"Why, there's mutton intirt and tur

that the prince was serious, he replied:

Here the interview was brought to a

Will You Buy II Bicycle?

IL you intend to buy one this season,
here are few points for you to con
slider. Never in the history of the wheel
business has there been so many utterly
worthless bicycles on the market as this
season, ranging in price from SD 80 to
$50, just whatever the agent thinks you
will pay, and with no guarantee that the
next buyer YilI not get his wheel for 81
to S. less than you pay. These wheels
are constt ucted usually with welded
tubeing, "cast iron fork crowns and
crank hangers, tires made from common
garden hose and with good care will
last you about sixty days. They are
generally sold by a mail order house or
an agent who does not know enough
about wheel to take it apart, much
less to explain the construction Of it.
Crescent bicycles are constructed by
the largest factory in the world. The
tubeing is cold drawn steel, the crank
hanger, fork crown and sprockets are
sheet steel stampings, the best and most
expensive material to be had for this
use. The tires are the Dunlop detac h.
able, the best tire and easiest tire to
repair, worth alone so a pair. The
price of Crescent bicycle is the same
to everyone, $35 and S25. We can show
you the working parts of Crescent and
show you why they are superior to all
others.
We have sold over sixty Crescents in
Audubon in the last two years, and have
never had one returned from any fault
or breakage.
Buy Crescent bicycle and get a
wheel that you KNOW is good at low
price
We carry full line of tires, pedals,
lamps, cyclometers, pumps, wrenches,
bells, etc, and will equip your wheel
right when you buy it.

Agent for Crescent Bicycles.

The asst number Of the Columbian
Club lecture course was given last night
to large and enthusiastic audience by
Prof. Denote, and was pronounced by
many the best of this excellent course.
DIR. Denote has evidently not just
taken Ills history and funny columns"
and written out lecture of so many
words with measured proportion Of
laughter and pathos for the careless en-
tertainment of an evening, but, burning
with message for the world, he has
prepared his beautiful illustrations and
equipped himself to give it most effec-
lively. 1t is keen pleasure 10 hear a
professional talker who has something
to say. Dr. DeMotte's work is along a
line of scientific truth little known or
talked of among the general public, and
with his impressive delivery it must be
/ far-reaching in its influence, especially
among the young. The club announced
that they have still another treat in
