Frank j. Gleason. tourist from
Cleveland. Ohio, was arrested at Sixth
and Main streets last night by PATROL
man George Williamson and booked
at the central station for medical
treatment
Gleason, who was stopping at a
Ninth and Main street lodging house,
was routed out of his bed at o'clock
last night by two alligators, one with
purple eyes and pink ears and the
other with green rings around its tail,
and compelled to run down the street
doing handsprings.
Gleason did as the alligators wished
him to until he became tired, and then
he protested. They cursed and swore at
him, however, and threatened to kill
him If he didn't dance jig on his
hands.
Gleason by this time had reached
Sixth street and appealed to the police
man to drive the alligators away.
AT the station house nothing intelli-
gent could be got out of him except
the statement that he lodged at Ninth
and Main streets and that all the
money he had was on deposit at sa-
loon near that corner.

XII e came all the way from Tus-

IL wouldn't even come from the
board Of trade" Here. in few words,
is sketched the domestic situation
which threatened disaster to the house
Of Jadwyn, disaster ayerted only by a
panic, which swept away the Jadwyn
millions and carried the man into the
arms of his wife.
The plot, in its essentials, Is neither
a novelty upon the stage nor unusual
off It. So long as men permit them
selves to be absorbed in business or
other pursuits, to the neglect of their
wives, there will always be other men
willing to come from Tuscany or Ius-
caloosa to tighten the ladies' burden
of loneliness.
"The PITT is a poorly constructed
play which, doubtless, owes Its ori-
ginal vogue to the popularity Of Frank
Norris novel from which 1t was ora
matized, The vogue OF the play con-
tinues, however, even among persons
who read the book several years ago
and who would not think OF re-readlng
It, condition which seems to argue
that there is something more to the
drama than borrowed popularity.
Written in five acts, the first two OF
which are tediously talky,. "The Pit
yet commands attention through the
virility OF its melodramatics and, per-
haps, through the opportunities 1t Of
fers for elaborate staging. AS pre-
sented at the Auditorium this week
"The PITT engages the services OF
probably seventy-five persons. AS 90
cents for an orchestra seat this cer-
tainly is q bargain.

Lewis S. stone himself played Its lead
ing role for. a time at the Belasco and
played it so to the liking of his audi

may justly be regarded as olpio-
matte managerial move.
Written for a star the play provides
small acting opportunities outside Of
two roles and this despite cast

An interesting Business peal

\ One of the oldest business deals
that we have ever heard of came to-
our attention few days ago, when
the final settlement in the trans
action was made by the principals,
John Strong Of Zion and Stony At.
3kins Of Cando.
Last fall Mr.. Atkins offered to sell
Mr.. Strong a manure spreAder and
after considerable discussion and
chatting over the deal, a verba1
agreement was made. Mr.. Strong
had an SO-acre field that he intend
ed to SOW to wheat and he wanted
to fertilize as much Of it as possible,
Mr.. Atkins made him the following
proposition: Strong was to take
the spreader and fertilize half the
field, that is to say, 40 acres of it,
and seed it to wheat; then harvest
and thresh separately the two
parts of the field, and Atkins would
take as his pay for the spreader,
that part of the grain that Strong
raised on the fortified portion, over
and above the amount raised on
the unfertilized portion. In case
Strong failed to fertilize half of the
so acres, he was to pay Atkins the
regular price of the machine.
One day last week Mr.. Strong
came in and made the following
report: He had been able to cover
but 80 acres of the field, therefore
would pay the reguls price for tbs
spreader; but he was glad in one
respect that he had been unable te
fulfill the first part of the agreement
because il he had, the spreadel
would probably have cost him dou
bic. He found that the yield IRON
the fortified field was so mucf
greater than the other, that he was
almost ashamed to make the com
parison. .
