a tendency to overreach themselves and
queer any goose that gives symptoms
of laying a golden egg. One of the
latest exhibitions of this fool habit is

were being held at a burlesque theateF
the crowds packed the house and every
body was getting a neat piece OF money,
when the gTasping promoters, in their
desire to get all the money at once,
many people as the building laws per-
mitted and the police broke up the
