There is an unprecedented demand

the humble barnyard, the poulterer's

EXILED AMERICANS.
Vance Thompson Writes of the Pa
triotS in Paris.

After all, Paris is a city of flame;
and every year 100. 900 Americans (and
thousands more) come hither to scorch
their wings. Then as best they can
they f1utter homeward over the sooth-
ing sea. By the time the leaves have
fallen from the trees in the Champs
Elysees they have almost all gone.
Those who 1inger are not mere tourists,
wayfarers; they are the exiles. Long
They cannot fly If they would. Wing
less and dazed they crawl about the
city of flame.
They are not Parisians. They never
can be Parisians. And yet they are not
quite like the Americans you know at
home What distinguishes them is
their fierce and consuming patriotism.
How they love their native land, the
exiles, They sit at the little marble
topped tables on the boulevard, drink
ing their grog American, telling each
other of their love for the Troys and
Omahas and Harlems whence they
came. And America, seen across 5000
miles of grey water, seems glorious in
deed in it's stately perfection New
York between it's rivers, looms wonder
full, shining, mpeccable-beautiful as a
city in a fable. The iron stridency of
Broadway, heard from over sea, is like
the cooling of a girl: haring Longacre
vulgarities glitter like maryland.
Good patriots?
Why the exiles are the only undevi-
ating patriots. They will not admit-to
others or themselves-that there Is a
blemish to be found on things Ameri-
can. They revere Mr.. Roosevelt and
knock the foreigner about the ears with
that mighty name; they revere Mr..
Murphy, too. and all the Sullivans-

MILLIONS FOR THEATERs.
The Enormous Theatrical Industry
of New York City.

There is a theatergoing crowd IN
New York which numbers one hun
bred thousand people nightly. If we
take into consideration all sorts and
conditions of theaters, this number is
probably a low estimate; for there
are innumerable foreign playhouses,
obscure stock companies and unnotic-
ed but prosperous vaudeville and bur-
lesque shows which steadily attract
their own custom in the metropolis.
There are about forty theaters of first
class standing now running in New
York city.
Box office receipts at both the "Ie-
Ultimate" and the vaudeville houses,
taken the year round, will amount to
something in the neighborhood of six
million dollars per annum Perha ps
even this is a low estimate. OF all
kinds, there are five thousand actors
playing in New York city-perhaps
six thousand Some OF these actors
draw salaries as high as $4,000 a
week for a season of twenty weeks.
Some of the shows-such as 1.-THE
Man Of the Hour"-take in $4,000 a
week each for a season of fifty-two
weeks straight.

They are the exiles. the melancholy
and patriotic exiles who can never be
