The Same Old John L.

Old John L. Sullivan always had a
fine Irish wit, and it remains with him
in his advanced age Not long ago he
was appearing in a Baltimore theat"r
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to a wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was u
typical chollyboy, the sort of speci.

was washing his face in the theater
