Nick Adams of York & Adams the
principal fun-makers of Bankers &
Brokers' which comes to the Grand
Tuesday Sept. Is, tells the following
story on themselves which is worth
repeating. -.
ut was the week before we started
out on our present tour, said Mr.
Adams, that I wrote Joe Weber for
pass for the matinee for Mr.. Yorke
brought the order, and early the same
afternoon we boarded a car on the
upper West side and after the regula-
ton transfers fetched up at Weber's
Theatre in good time to see the per-
Torrance. Adams, who had under
taken the care of the complimentary
order reached for the pocket in which
he had placed it and after brief and
careful search thrust the result of his
discovery into the box office for the
seat coupons, the ticket seller looked
at the order which Adams had given
him and grinned What's this he ask
ed? A pass for two, signed by your
boss, answered Adams What boss?
asked the Treasurer. Why Joe Web
err, answered Adams. Get out? Get
out? Answered the box office man,
as he flung the order back at the mys
tihed comedian. One glance at the
slip and the explanation was easv.
Adams had carelessly surrendered
the theatre pass to one of the trans
fer agents of the care line and was
now trying to get two seats on a
street car transfer ticket"

THE advantages of a Hay Carrier
as a means of storing away hay
in barn are so obvious, that it is
only necessary to state, that, they
save the time and expense of from
to 3 men each day, the cost of
which will soon pay for outfit. And
consider too, the advantages of stor-
ing the hay quickly, often saving
tons from spelling, twill be mon
ey in your pocket to invest in an
outfit.

In his decision against the probate

The fact that the witnesses and the
attorney could describe In detail the
events of the signing of the will was
also evidence which Influenced the
surrogate in his decision. He calls II
remarkable feat of memory to re.
