SEATS CHEAP AND HIGH..
Elderly Couple Were Going Up tha
Fire Escape, But Were Called
Down. ~

Occasionally they develop q sense OF
humor, even in Canada, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The manager Of the!
opera house in Ottawa, to- the north
ward, was in his Office busy with the,
sale of seats for the evening performs
ance when policeman called him out
on the sidewalk and, pointing to the
fires escape on the front Of the build
ing, asked him to explain the sight that
met his astonished gaze. An elderly
couple were laboriously mounting the
slender ladder leading to the root, the
old man squirting his aged helpmeet to,
mount a few steps further with the.
Words: Well soon be there, m0ther..
an you'll fergit all about the climb
when you're looking at the show. ''2S -
"Hello!" shouted the manager, al
tracing their attention; what do you
want up there%'
1--WE got gallery Seats" shouted back
the old man., ''an' we're getting there,
though it seems to me it's pretty hard
climb fer the old lady. Wish't I'd paid
more an got low down Seats"
The manager then shouted that the
entrance was below, and the way they
had chosen was the fire-escape. The
old people began troublesome descent,
assisted by the policeman, who had
gone to their aid. =.
"An' that's what comes of your meas
ly stinginess," snapped the old lady to
her spouse, as she YEARLY backed down
the last step of the ladder.

. ABOUT COMPRESSED TEA.

Much Used by Russian omcsrs Ia
Hanchuria-How It Il 4
Prepared.

Compressed tea Is common enough a
Siberia, but so far as know" says Z
writer, IAN unknown commodity In
this country. 1t Is an ordinary black
tea, which Is very widely used by the
Buriats Of the Transbaikal region, BY
whom the herb thus prepared Ii drunk,
favored with salt and sour cream.
Sugar would be preferred, of course,
but 1t Is either unattainable or too
high-priced, costing, as 1t docs, from
Is cents to one dollar a pound. The
compressed tea used by the Russian
officers In Manchuria is rendered hard
by superb modern machinery. Such
has been the pressure employed that
the formerly soft and yielding leaves
assume the appearance Of hard tile,
which can with difficulty be cut with q
knife AS general rule, a mallet or
hammer is used to break off q piece,
very much as if the tablet were Of
stone. .&
"Suchong tea is used to make the Of
fetal compressed tea. It needs no
cream because nature has given 1t q
slightly creamy taste, and also one
that is feebly saccharine, 50 that 1t re-
quires less sugar than other teas. In
flavor this compressed tea cannot be
compared with the natural herb. It is
much flatter in taste, but possesses the
same stimulating properties a piece
the size Of a thimble is sufficient for
large, strong cup. No teapot Ii neces-
sary. Scalding water is poured on the
nugget In the cup, and in a few min
utes the tea is ready.
mo cementing agent whatever Is
used in COMPRISING high-grade' teas
not even sugared water nor aruhctal
heat. A tablet thus compressed may
be exposed to soaking rains with little |
danger of injury. AS a general rule,
however, compressed tea is kept n
worsted bags The official Russian
compressed tea is not obtafnable IN
Europe outside Of Russia"

Deputy Marshal Weed with another
deputy named McNichoi. went TO Be

was taken into custody and the three
started for Yankton. Near the line
between Iowa and Dakota Carpenter
ieaped from the train while I'm motion
