 Method.

A Springfield (Mass.) clergyman is telling story of his last vacation which is probably better appreciated by his fel- lows who have served the Lord in the villages than by those members of the profession who have ministered only to city charges, says the Boston Globe.

Because of some reason it did not come. was hungry as bear, so finally in desperation, approached a prosperous looking farmer whom had met before the service and said: Brother, won't you come home with me to dinners? Gladly, parson,' he an swered, where do you liver About 20 miles from here,' answered as airiIy as possible. For one moment he looked dumfounded, then he saw the fun of the situation, and his hard old face broke into a thousand wrinkles as he grasped my hand and said: 'Parson, let's go over to my house for dinner. It's heap nearer than yollrn.'

Butler of Hartford, president of the New England branch, presented the request and were asked to retire while the dealers committee considered them. After waiting for nearly an hour, so the bartenders say an unsigned vote was sent out to the bartenders to the effect that the dealers did not ask the baTtenders to. sign any contract and didn't see why they should be asked to sign one presented by the bartenders and notifying them that they had unanimously decided nor to sign the contract or union label.
 To give the decision an official aspect Organizer Kennedy went into the deal- ers' meeting and insisted on the de. cision being signed by the officers or the association present, which was done

Special Correspondence.
New York. June Mr.. John Cort
representative of the great theatrical
trust. In the northwest. is here on
his annual booking trip and has created
quite a boom in "Corlanton' affairs.
by the cold blooded and famous
trust" made up OF Kaw & Erlinger,
Nixon & Zimmerman. Al Haymand and
Charles Frohman the presentation Of
"Coriantun" In the wild aid woody
west" was looked upon as a stupendous
amateur venture, unworthy of serious
Broadway consideration.
John Corts optimistic report before
meeting OF the trust this afternoon,
on the possibilities Of the play II well
acted, staged and managed and OF the
magnihccnce Of the production built
by the Utah syndicate, has led them TO
an investigation for fear they have
been overlooking n good thing"
Upon reading the play and the re-
views by western critics. their inter-
est has grown intensely and one OF
their number, doubtless Zimmerman,
is delegated to directly or indirectly
take II up.
"Corianton" is to be offered wholly
as AN Aztec play, AS the Japanese
plays, problem plays, Oriental plays,
early Christian plays, etc, have fol-
lowed in turn, but the Aztec play has
thus far been overlooked "Corianton,'
It Is sald, exactly fills the Aztec de-
mand. The ACCESSIBILITY of renting the
production, built by the Utah syndicate
ar tho h1iildfup az "a new one WAS dis
Cussed.
Assured by the author and Mr. Cort,
that the production IN storage IN Lo-
gan Is adequate Tor Broadway II was
decided to offer a rental fee Of $50 per
week or about $1,000 per year to the
owner.
The Deseret Dramatic syndicate has
long been known on the 'Rialto' as
the sphinx syndicate as La Shella
whitney. Wilkinson and others have
never been able to get a reply from
