AT THE OPEN LOT GROUNDS.
Frankfurtcrs and Ice Cream Instead OF
Peanuts at q Ball Game.

Peanuts are sold to the patrons Of tho
national game at the Polo Grounds, frank-
furters and ice cream to the spectators
Of the great game on the vacant lots ground
on Sunday.
At many one Of these Sunday games
the interest in the sport is great and the
crowd large, and the frankfurter seller
an the ice cream vender make for them
as they would for a fair or for any holiday
gathering. Here, in the intervals between
the ~Three balls" or the "Strike!" OF the
umpire and the good-natured chat or
friendly cheers OF the rooters for one side
or the other, you hear the MARBLE of the
frankfurter man:
-Here they are, now, and they are all
hot"
They're mostly boys, the frankfurter
mans customers here, and watching the
game, and, their appetites always good.
they buy a frankfurter to enhance their
general enjoyment of the occasions It's
worth while TO see the frankfurter man
serve them, for he's lightning,
Picking up one Of his long torpedo
boat shaped rolls in one hand, he lays
it open from stem to stern with one
single swift swipe with a knife held in
the other. With single jab into the
boiler he spears sausage, and lays
it along in the cleft OF the roll, ana,
then, before you realize what he's up to at
all. he has swept down over the length OF
1t with the spoon out Of the mustard pot
and left on the sausage trail Of mustard.
Finished? Not yet. Again he forks
into the boiler and brings up this time, a
little bunch of hot sauerkraut, which he
lays on the sausage closing now the roll
upon both, some fringe Of the sauerkraut
projecting appetizingly, and hands the
whole over to the waiting small boy, in
Just no time at ALL Three cents.
Striker out' says the umpire.
"Hooray!' says a man looking on at the
game as player on the aide he's for slides
through cloud of dust to second.
NOW hit 'em, Bill" says another to the
man at the bat. and easily. quickly. not at
all obtrusively, but heard all the same,
Here they are now. and THEY'RE all hot!
says the frankfurter man, and he does not
lack for Gust omers.
Over on the other side of the field is the
ice cream man, doing fair business too,
and helping on that side. as the frank-
furter man does on his, to give little
life and variety and picturesqueness to tho
scene.
Peanuts at the Polo Grounds, ice cream
and frankfurters at the ground OF the
open lot.

He Knew What to Do.

In the old canal days, a fine setter
was taken by his master on a packet
boat which was SO crowded that the
dog was put in the captains cabin to
be out OF the way. His owner reached
his destination after nightfall and had
taken so much wine by that time that
he was carried off the boat, and no one
remembered his setter. Next morning
the captain took the dog on deck, but
was much afraid he would jump off to
the tow-path and try to return that way,
and so handsome an animal would have
been in danger OF being stolen. Carlo,
however, lay perfectly quiet, but with
an air OF listening that attracted notice.
Toward noon he heard the sound OF
the horn OF packet coming from the
opposite way, and, as the boats passed
each other he made leap, and was
next heard from as having got off at
the place .'herc his master had stopped,
and as having gone at once to the
house where the man was guest. HUI
man intelligence could not have sur
passed that shown by this animal

taken his seat in the restaurant when
he began to grumble about everything

bill OF fare fit to eat, he declared, and
kept the waiter busy attending to his
many trihing wants. Finally he order
ed some chops we'll done and cup OF
coffee brought to him at once. The
beverage was not to his liking and he
sent it back for repairs, voicing a COM
plaint louder than ever. After waiting
five minutes he demanded his chops
and at intervals OF a minute repeated
the demand. At length in burst OF
anger he declared he would go some
where else to eat and called for his
check for the coffee Grabbing over
coat and hat he was about to rush out
when the man who sat beside him in

"Oh-bcg pardon-a mistake" stam-
