After the play was over Burton invited
several friends up ito the bar and the
drinkmixer gleefully informed him
that he had managed to get rid of
every ticket. The comedian was de-
lighted. but as the bartender said
nothing about the Is cents he was to
have collected for each ticket Burton
grew anxious Finally he called the
bartender to one side and mentioned
the matter in a whisper. The bartender
looked surprised and panied, and when
he had recovered from his astonish-

leon, on the Mississippi river. The in
habitants had evidently never heard of
the famous comedian, and business was
very light. On the last evening of the
engagement Burton was to have a
benefit. and as there was no advance
