There is plenty of work in Texas for

is no room for the loafer, white or
black. The man who will not work
must live, just as the man who will
work must live. If he does not labor
he must get his bread in some way

Church or Club?

President Thwing of the Western
Reserve University at Cleveland says In
noting a marked decrease in the num-
Der of divinity students that two in
fuences prouuce this result-the larger
inducements which commercial pur-
suits offer and the unsettling of re-
ligous beliefs and doubts as to future
relations between church and society.
Young men, says Mr. Thwing, are in
doubt, whether the church is to be a
place of worship or a sort of club.

Great Salt lake involves a great en-
cheering problem. The lake has to be
crossed at a point where it is thirty

necessitated for the whole of the dis

rocky Promontory point. The view

HAN MASON had just emerged from
the stage door of the Madison
II Square theater, New York, after a
rehearsal of the new farce, "Dudolph &
Adolph," which will be seen at Sutton's
new theater, Sunday and Monday eve
nings. when his attention was at
tracted by big man loudly Whlstling
while fixing telephone wire.
Just then milk boy came driving
down the street, and the man made
fatal mistake. Instead of attending to
his own business he tried to work and
watch the reckless driver at the same
time.
The consequence was that he did
neither. What he did do was to lose his
footing. There was a cry of horror from
the bystanders below, echoed by lusty
yell from above. Every breath was sus-
pended and then a shout Of relief went
up from the crowd. The man had made
a frantic dive for the wire and had
caught it.

knew him. I'VE will get you down some

Only one man in the crowd did not say
anything-he was busy climbing up the
telephone pole. The excited crowd con-
descended to notice him finally and saw
his intention.
Hold on, Pat; help is coming!" they
shouted with one voice.
Then a wave of horror swept over the
crowd. The man suspended between

THERE was a pretty net boa hanging
up in the ticket office of the Ly-
ceum theater last week, awaiting
the owner, says the New York Times.
A tag on 1t stated the time at which it
was found, and, if the woman to whom
it belongs can give proper description,

the ticket Office window during half the
time that it is open, was handed In by
one of the patrons Of the theater, but.
nine chances out of ten, the woman to
whom it belongs will be sure that she
dropped it in the theater.
IF she had lost anything that was
not found, she would be certain that she
dropped it in the theater, and she would

zone can explain sometimes to man,
but, as rule, one cannot to woman.
She Is very sure of herself, and that she
Is exactly right. AS matter of fact, the
greater number Of things that are found
in the theater are found in the lobby
and on the stairs. We have had women
come here for things, insisting in the
usual way that they dropped them IN
tha theater and were the last ones to
1--we, when we have found the article
on the washstand in the ladies' room.
matinee days there are great many
finds, many finds-perquisites for the
boys who go through the theater after
the performance. These are the bonbon
boxes and tongs. They are scattered all
over the house. and, half the time, the
boxes are nearly full. Matinee girls like
to have something in their hands when
they come to the theater, and they do
not have have time to empty the boxes.
'~The boys are generous about passing
the candy around. AS a matter Of fact
IL any of our boys have tendency to
the candy habit they get cured Of 1t
after they have been here two or three
weeks. They gormandize then, and after

town.
There are not so many things lost III
the evening. as a rule, for the women
have monopolies of all the masculine
coat pockets. and their belongings are
tucked away in them.
zone OF the most valuable things we
ever found here was lost by man. 1t
was a purse containing lot of money
and valuable papers, mortgages, checks,
and tickets to Europe. In the course OF

curiosity to examine them closely.
zone of the most indignant losers"
continued the ticket seller, sis the man
who thinks he has checked all the UNI
brellas belonging to his party, doesn't do
it, and then is in a great rage when he
finds there is one short. A man came
here one evening with three ladies. 1t
was a bad night, and all four had UNI
brellas.
Before going upstairs the man gath
cred up the umbrellas to have them
checked. While he was going to the
window one of the party had strayed
off to look at the picture in the foyer,
and, in the hurry, he did not notice it,
and checked only three. The woman
with the umbrella took it with her, and.
of course, forgot it when the play was
over.
when the umbrellas were distributed,
she did not see why she should not have
one. Neither did the man with her, and
he was furious. Here he had checked
four umbrellas, and only three were re-
turned to him. That made great rum
pus, and every one was kept waiting
while search was made for the lost UNI
brella.
II don't know what would have hap
pened if the usher had not come down,
in the midst Of the trouble with an UNI
brella which had been left in the thea
ter, and, of course, it was the one that
was wanted. That man didn't stop to
say thank you,' but hurried out into the
street without a word, while the women
fairly screamed with laughter.
women are the most difficult TO
please with tickets, and it takes them
longer to decide what they want, hut
men do quite as foolish things. For in
stance, one man last season walked out
Of the theater without his hat, coat or
cane. He did not discover the fact until
he was on the street, where he found 1t
was little cold. But men very seldom
lose anything in the theater.
1.-THE women come to the window and
ask all sorts of questions about the
players. One old lady asked me theat-
rical catechism one day, if Mr.. Richman
was married, how old Annie Russell
was. People don't like to have their
private histories circulated, so, as a
rule, we don't know anything about
them. had just told her didn't know

wanted tickets for that night was asking
in what row we had seats. There was

Eighteen That came pat after the old
lady's question about Annie Russell, and
she only heard part of the answer.
"'Oh, eighteen, is she?' she cried
We'll, do you know, I didn't think she
was quite as young as that. Thank you.
| And off she went.
school girls are interested in every
one on the stage. They come in between
$3.50 and 1880 and stand around and talk
SO that one can hear everything that
they say. It is surprising how much
they know about the different com.

They go back further than I can some
