AS I was leaving on the stage at
six o'clock the next morning the
first sight TO greet my eyes was the
orchestra leader and the floor mana
ger of the night before with locked
arms, moving aimlessly and with
difficulty down the street. One of
them saw me and after staring for
a minute it seemed slowly to dawn
upon him that I was the person who
had sat for q time on the platform
and he waved his arm and
yelled an unintelligible greeting.

Printers vs.. Clerks.

Sunday q sensational ball game
was played between the Clerks and
Printers Of the city. To say that
the Clerks won on merit would bring
down on our heads the whole print

might easily expect q walk out" il
we ventured the assertion that the
Printers we're somewhat afraid OF
their delicate fingers. 1t is no more
than justice to say that the Printers,
though beaten, are much superior to
the Clerks in their ability to play
the game-around a spreading chest

convinced that after ell the Printers
won-or should have-the game.
The Clerks claim a score OF twelve
while, after a most careful glance
over the score sheet, all we can find

Boa Constructors.

by a professional snake eharmer and
naturalist. For a year and half he
took the attention Of three men and
was kept muzzled all THE time ex.

of that time he was subdued and was
ready for exhibition.
Sampson cas- but four or five
meals a year. He was fed about
seven weeks ago and his. keeper
thinks he will be ready for anothe,
meal in about three weeks. At this
last luncheon he disposed Of nine
chickens and a hundred pound pig
