HOYT'S JOKE ON M'KEE.
How the Playwright HAD n Bit Of
Fun with Ills Manager.

How the Playwright Had n hit Of
Fun with Ills Manager.
On one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching a performance from a
box. where he was seated with some
friends.
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
Tell him | can't come out-Fm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned In a moment to
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee, who again sent out word
that 1t was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent in the
message that he was an author and
had n play that he wished Mckee to
read Immediately.
This incensed the manager, who said
to the usher:
Tell that fool out there that this is
no time 10 bring a play to be read.
Get him out Of the place-I won't see
him. | won't read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and informed Mckee that the
man utterly refused TO go without see
ing him, and that he must be granted
an interview. also that he was quite
sure that the manager would not only
read his play, but he would also pro
duce it. and added that he would bel
$1,000 that Hoyt & Mckee would be
only too glad 10 get the play.
At that Mckee became furiously
angry. and. excusing himself to his
! party, left the box with the intention
of personally inviting the persistent
author to begone.
"Wherc's that idiot who insists Oh
seeing me| he asked of the treasurer
| at the box Office. Then the treasurer
| pointed to man standing in the shad
ow with n roll of manuscript under
his arm.
1t was Hoyt, with his newly finished
! play, which he handed to Mckee, who
said TO those present:

odors That permea,e FoodstuGs.

A fish dealer in one Of the most styl-
lsh parts Of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried one day by the COM
plant of one of his big customers that
fine salmon which he had sent to the
house for a big dinner had proved to
be entirely uneatable when served ow-
ing to n most penetrating taste Of creo-
sote that pervaded II. The FISH dealer
realized, although the charge was not
made directly, that he was more than
suspected Of having sold a stale fish
that had been washed or brushed with
an antiseptic preparation TO hide its
condition. He knew that the salmon
had been perfectly fresh when he sold
II. and for days he puzzled In vain over
the problem. But suddenly he remem-
bored that on the day the fish was sent
out tank wagon full Of creosote had
stopped before his place and that his
cart, into which the fish was being
placed, was directly alongside of the
powerful stuff. That appears TO have
been enough 20 permeate the delicate
hesh of the tish.-New York Press.

James ]. Hill did not remain long in
st. Paul and tue speed he showed in
getting out at noon today for the
Pacific coast aroused no little com
ment in railroad circles. Mr.. Hill did
not go alone. He was accompanied
by Second Vice President Miller,
Third Vice President j. T. Hill, Ed
ward Tuck Of Paris and A. T.
French Of New York. The last two
are heavily interested in Great North
ern stocks. 1t was stoutly denied by
Great Northern officials that Messrs-
Tuck and French are interested finan-
cially in the Burlington system, which
is now understood to be under the
Morgan-Hill influence.
Mr.. Hill denied himself to all callers
and would have nothing whatever to
say about the Burlington DEAL There
was an air Of suppressed excitement
about the Great Northern building,
which could not be accounted for
merely by the presidents return from
New York. From several offices ci-

out and received. 1t is understood
that the trip of the Great Northern
party will be hurried. Seattle is the
