Odors That Permeate Foodstuns.

A fish dealer in one Of the most styl-
ish parts of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried one day by the CON-
plant of one of his big customers that
a fine salmon which he had sent to the
house for big dinner had proved to
be entirely UNBEATABLE when served ow-
ing to most penetrating taste Of creo-
sote that pervaded it. The fish dealer
realized. although the charge was not
made directly, that he was more than
suspected of having sold 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 be sold
it. and for days he puzzled in vain over
the problem. But suddenly he remem-
bered that on the day the fish was sent
out a 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 to permeate the delicate
flesh of the fish.-New York Press.

HOYT'S JOKE ON M'kEE.

How the Playwright Had q Bit of
Fun with His Manager.
On one occasion Manager Mckee
was watching a performance from q
box. where he was seated with some
friends.
During the first act an usher came
to him with the information that a
gentleman was waiting at the door to
see him on most important business.
Tell him l can't come out-I'm very
busy" was the answer.
The usher returned In a moment tc
say that the man insisted on seeing
Mr.. Mckee. who again sent out word
that it was impossible to see him.
The man outside then sent in the
message that he was an author and
had a 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 to bring a play to be read.
Get him out of the place. won't see
him. | won't read his play"
A few minutes later the usher came
back and informed Mckee that the
Hidh IeluSed IL go "ltDOut 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 bet
$1,000 that Hoyt & Mckee would be
only too glad to 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.
Where's that idiot who insists on
seeing me?" he asked Of the treasurer
at the box office. Then the treasurer
pointed to a man standing in the shad
ow with a roll of manuscript under
his arm.
1t was Hoyt. with his newly finished
play. which he handed to Mckee, who
said to those present:
Its on me-what'll you have. boys"

AN OvERWORkED PHRASE.
The Exrression He Took His Life n

why so many persons persist in using

and the matter OF confronting extraor-

fireman who dashes into a burning
building to rescue child, the fellow
who grabs the bride of runaway
horse. the hero who will plunge into
the river to save some person who is
about to drown-these are the persons
who confront what l would call ex-
traordinary dangers, and the worn
platitude of saying of one of these he
