BAKER ENTERTAINED HIM,
The Chauffeur Didn't Know Much
About Jerusalem.

When C. C. Baker was in St. Louis a
few days ago he visited the worlds fair
grounds, making the trip. in one of the
big automobiles provided for the purpose
Mr.. Baker sat on the front seat with the
Chauffeur. They whizzed past the various
buildings and the vast projects of land
scape gardening and the Chauffeur explain
ed things as they went
Down there in that valley, he said
lis where the Jerusalem exhibit is going
to be-
ested in that Some of the people know
are backing it."
We'll say" remarked the chauffeur, con-
fidentiaily, s'if you know all about i,
would you mind telling me what it Is: go
ing to be? 1 never knew much about
it.''
Mr. Baker complied, telling the man thai
the plan was to make a reproduction OF
a portion of the city of Jerusalem
where IS Jerusalem, anyway asked
the man when Mr.. Baker finished
Why, it's in the holy land replied Mr..
Baker in some establishment IT'S the
city where Christ spent quite 4 portion OF
ms life and near which he was crucified.
It is the central spot of Christianity-al
Christian people are interested in it.
"Oh h=i'' grunted the chauffeur in
great contempt. Il don't believe that
scheme will pay.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

A writer in a dramatic paper makes
the statement that the man in the gall
lery, the one at the top, is the man who
really passes criticism upon the theatre
cal performance. If that is SO the
Thoroughbred Tramp" may go on its
way rejoicing in the knowledge that it
is a good show. At the Crawford last
night there was a full venire in the gall
lery jury box. And the gallery was
sympathetic. The performance is filled
with emotion, such as it is and every
throb was reverberated from UP stairs
The touching reconciliation between the
hero and his wife was greeted with
shouts of approval, and the gallery
raucously congratulated the principal
characters every time one of them made
his escape from the sudden and violent
humiliation that was waiting at every
shift of the scenery. As long as the
populace turns out with its money in its
hands as it did last night for the per-
formances of this aggregation the
Thoroughbred can figure upon riding
in the cars instead of counting ties ss
he last night described himself as do
ing.
