The Donkey on the Staoe.

"Its curious" said a theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs, ''how the stage develops 1ealousies I once had a show on the road in which 1t was necessary to make use of q horse and a donkey. We got the animals we'll trained for their parts, and on the opening night they gave a first class performance On the following night. however. we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince. the horse, went on without any trouble whatever but Jack-tilat was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up program. which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind of type we used for Jack. We got new lot of pro- grams the next day with the donkey's name printed in type which was near ly twice as big as that which we used for the horse. After that we never had the slightest trouble Chicago Record Herald

There were two young men of my country who had a boasting match, and one said. My father Is so rich and has so many horses that his stable is of such extent as to take a horse eleven months to go from one end stall to the other 'Shabash, brother re- piled the second boaster, that is very good My father has a bamboo 50 long that he can sweep the clouds away with it when they obscure the sun fin harvest time.'
