THE Willy COMEDIAN.
His Mixup With Contract, Legal
Fee and an Opinion.


There was certain comic opera
comedian who made no end of money
and who scorned anything like Osten-
tatiOus recklessness in the spending Of
it. He was almost morbid on the sub
iect, in fact and there were those who
said that he went to evening instead
Of morning service so that he might
have the use of the money he dropped
into the box little longer. This is by
way of explaining the grief which
once befell him in Cleveland.
Somebody had played an engagement
at a certain theater and had received
a frigid reception, which stage people
call a frost. The comedian wasn't 60
ing to run any risks. He wouldn't
play at the theater unless a certain
amount of money was promised him.
The manager of the theater offered a
very large percentage of the receipts
but. oh, dear no, the willy comedian
wasn't going to be caught by such
chaff as that He insisted upon lump
sum regardless of receipts. The sum
was guaranteed, the contract signed.
The comedian came to town and. stroll
ing as if by chance into the box Office.
asked how the house was selling.
oh" said the ticket seller, I'VE sold
every seat in the house ten days ago!'
The comedians blood boiled
would" said he to himself. ooh,
would that | had accepted the percent
| age! 1t would have been double what
I get now"
1t was too late. however, to rely on
simple wOulding to change matters, SC
he sought the foremost attorney of the
town. showed him the contract and eX
pressed his desire to break it and
abide by the customary percentage
! plan. Before the attorney would con
sent to express an opinion the ques
ton of fee came up, and the comedian
handed him $500. The man at Law
then took the paper and examined it.
My dear SIR said he, that con
tract can't possibly be broken. ! drew
it up myself"
1t is not told what the Temperature
of Cleveland according to the govern
ment report was that day. but in tn
neiGhborhood of that comedian thing
fairly sizzled.-Washingto Star

COAL AS FUEL.
II Was In Use as Far Back as the
Time of King Solomon.

Time of King Solomon.
Tho first mention of coal i'm the an
nails of mankind occurs in the Bible,
Proverbs XVI, 81, as follows: AS
Goals are to burning Goals and wood to
fire. so is a contentious man to kindle
strife" This was written about 1916
B. c., at the time King solomon came
into power Part of his dominion was
Syria. and ancient coal mines are
worked in. that country today. There
are several other references TO coal in
the Bible, all of a later date. Tools
and cinders have been found near the
Roman wall, Indicating that the Brit
ons were familiar with the use Of coal
prior to the Roman invasion in 81 r. C.
The first actual record of a coal
transaction is the receipt for twelve
cart loads Of coal written by the good
abbot of Peterborough, a. d. $50.
Years before the Christian era coal
was in common use in China. Anthra-
cite coal is powdered. mixed with we
clay and rolled into balls These are
dried in the sun. and the poor use this
fuel in little hand furnaces precisely
as they did centuries ago. Marco Polo
speaks of seeing in 1915 "a kind OF
black stone in Cathay that is used to
burn better than wood" Marco POlo's
cOuntrymen refused to believe the
| travellers tale.
The earliest historic mention Of Goa
in the United States is by the Frencl
Jesuit missionary father Hennepin
who in his journal in 1879 speaks OF
traces Of coal appearing on the bank
of the ainois river and makes the sit
of "cOle mine" on the James river
near Richmond, the first mine opened
for the market. In 1866 anthracit
was discovered in the Wyoming vale
and a sample of the coal sent to Thon
as and William Penn in London.-Cal

zine.

How Germany Deals with the waster

How Germany Deals With the Waster
Germany has law that provides
that If it can be- proved that a man is
earning sufficient wage to support
those dependent on him, but that he is
dissipating that wage by vicious hab-
its, he can be declared a minor. and he
is then treated as a child. His EN-
ployer is told that the wage must be
paid not to the man, but to a guardian
appointed by the magistrate Of the
district in which he lives. who uses It
for the support of .he wife and chill
dren. In England a man who could
not get his wage might refuse to work
In Germany the police would see that
he did his work.-Progress.
