Man with "Hen Frul" Refused Admir-.
lance TO Theater.

A theatrical company that played In
repertoire in country villages barred a
citizen of a town, not long ago, when
he entered the theater with a basket,
after having purchased ticket. Just
as he was going in. the cover of the
basket unaccountably slipped off, re-
vealing two dozen eggs.
hi" said the ticket taker This
isn't Easter! Where are you going
with them eggs?"
None o. your business! Here's my
ticket, all paid for an reg'lar!" de-
clarr1 the citizen.
We'll, you don't take any eggs inside
while I'm here" said the ticket taker;
and then the other saw the reason his
burden was suspected and roared
with laughter.
He left the eggs in charge of the
man at the box ONCE and entered; and
he enjoyed every moment OF the
show When it was over, the manager
returned the eggs to him, and said:
Il was afraid you might put your
foot into the basket while you were

For instance. the Ontario gover
