Funny Stories Told by Players on
and Off the Stage.

If they continue to resurrect stories
concerning the late Stuart Robson and
4 his practical jokes. we will be compelled
to believe that, in this respect, at least
he was the elder SOthern of America.
Now it is told of the comedian that
I upon one occasion he was travelling in
England with a friend Ia small man
called "BiIl'), and on the Liverpool
train .BiIl' fell asleep. While he slept
Robson stole his ticket from his pocket
In little while the conductor was to be
seen approaching
Tickets. Bill Get out your ticket. 81
Robson said.
Bill" after a frantic search, said with
an oath that his ticket was lost. Rob-
son then advised him to escape paying
by hiding under the seat. This .'Bill
decided to do. and when the conductor
appeared he lay on his back on the
dusty floor, quite invisible.
Robson surrendered 5a both tickets
whereupon the conductor said:
Here are two tickets Where is your
| friend, Sir?'
Under the seat, there" the actor an
swered. II don't know why he wanted
to avoid you.'
The conductor, surprised. looked I'M
der the seat and "Bill' smiled at him
sheepishly. and then crawled awkwardly
forth.
Marshall p. wilder is popular with his
associates. This was conclusively
proved on Ine OCCdSlOu VI his TGCSnl
marriage, when congratulations and
gifts poured in upon the humorist and
his lady.
Some letters of congratulation, how
ever, are to be taken as being between
wit and wit. Particularly the follow
ing:
Now that you are married. may I
have your monologue? "-Arthur Dunn.
What had the nerve to stand up with
you ?''-Louis Wesley.
1T is the funniest thing you ever did
in your life."-Dick Carroll
I'm glad to learn that you have Sc
cured a sympathetic audience. George
Evans.
This story, said to have originated with
Chauncey OIcott, is going the rounds:
"A friend of mine.'' said the actor,
had an Irish servant girl who one day
asked leave to attend the wake of a
favorite cousin. The desired permission
was granted and Norah graced the mel
ancholy feast clad in her best. A few
weeks afterward she announced to her
master that she must leave him within
month.
:" Are you dissatisfied with your work
or your wages, Norah? asked the mas
ter taken by surprise and sorry to lose
a faithful servant.
"sOh, no, SIR said Norah quickly,
but I'm goin to be married to my cous-
ms widower.'
Isn't it rather sudden, Norah?' was
I the next question.
It's suddint to me. sir said Norah

FALSE RUnORS REFUTED
Ar. F. h. Murphy Defines His Position
 Respecting Labor Organizations

r. NJ. Murphy returned home Satur- day evening from business trip through the east, having returned by way Of Denver where he was joinad by General Baldwin and party. who are making a tour of inspection of this territory. MT. Murphy was seen by a representative of the Prescott Jour nal-Miner Monday and questioned as to the general conditions of business in the east and especially as to the feeling toward Arizona. He replied that his trip had been a hurried and very busy one, but he had noticed that the unsettled labor conditions of the coun- try were having their effect not only on this section but throughout the en- tire country. There has been so much agitation in labor circles that the busi- ness men of the country hardly know where they stand or how to calculate on the future.
 He said% 'I am informed that re- -poIts are being circulated to the effect that ana opposed to all labor or ganiZatiOns. Such reports are abso- Iutely without foundation, as I believe a great deal of good has resulted from labor organizations, where they have been conducted in a businesslike and consistent manner, and not as a means or conducting an unreasoIE bTa warfare against employers of labor. The great body of working men are req sonable and l believe want to do what IS right, and it is only when the well meaning employees are dominated over. and controlled by hot headed agitators. who have neither responsibility nor good business judgment. and who bring the organizations into bad repute and cause strife between the employer and employe to the detriment of both that l protest"
 When asked as to the report which IS being circulated In this county that he is trying to get the new scale of wages that has been adopted by the Yavapai County Mine Operators asso- citation in force and then to have the new law carried into the courts and declared unconstitutional and hold the wages down to an eight hour basis for a ten hour day, he replied:
 The report is not only fase but ma hcious. There is not a man in the country who would like to pay ton notch wages any better than myself. I have always paid my employees good wages, and often more than some of the enterprises with which I am iden- tified really warranted. Much of the

The cost of the Poland tunnel has been excessive. due largely to the trouble and annoy ance growing out of foolish agi- tation by mischief makers, and the completion of the tunnel that means so much to so many is being delayed. There can be no doubt but these agitatOrs are working great injury to the territory and a hardship to those they would have it appear they are so anxious to help.
