Jokes of Bailey and Austin

People who know Fred Bailey and
Ralph Austin. the pair of marvelously
clever comedians in The Top o tn
World, say that they are even funnier
off the stage than on. Though no two
actors work more assiduously to accom-
pltsh the success which they have 1T
last achieved. one would think, to OBJ
serve them i'm private life, that never a
serious thought entered their minds.
Members of The Top o. tn World"
company are constantly victimized by
them through the medium of the most
preposterous practical jokes During
the New York engagement, eighteen de-
voted members of the chorus solemnly
assembled i'm Columbus circle one morn
ing in response to a notice placed on
the call board, which said that the en-
tire company would be required to give
a street parade in costume at 11:45 a. m.
Both of the comedians are clever
sparrers, and Bailey, in his early youth,
gained considerable note as a profess
slonal pugilist One speciality" which
they have carefully studied, but which
they do not do on the stage, is a make
believe fight, tremendously realistic to
the observer. They exchange a perfect
Yolley of straight jabs, swings and up-
percuts, each man apparently with the
savage intention of knocking OUT the
other Every blow is studied and rem
dered harmless by prearranged
block, so that really the two fighters
are only shifting the palms of one an
others hands
In Toronto, Ontario, this false fight
was once put to a practical and at the
same time comical use. 1t was exposi-
ton week, and the barrooms were
packed and damned. Bailey and Aus

off of the board of trade this evening,
and after two days of quiet the argu-
ment between the two over the ques-

goes right after Om's charge that he

Off being that there was an attempt
to blibe him. President Dobbins says
that Off thoroughly understood that he
was to be paid $4,000 for the sale of all
the remaining stock, which would have
been 9 very moderate commission. In
this Dobbins is backed up by supple
mentary statement from W. II. Smith,
& close friend of Off who was present
when the offer was made.
Smith says: Mr. Dobbins made n
direct offer to Mr. Off, saying that he
would give Mr.. OFF $4,000 if he could
complete the sale of the remaining
shares OF stock within the next two or
three months and it was thought that
with his ability in matters of this kind
that he could do this in the specified
time"
Smith says that he urged Off to ac-
cept the offer, but that OFF saw fit to
decline.
President Dobbins claims that the
answer to his original letter by Off,

roboratiye evidence that his first state

that the object of off and Knight was

pany and that Simons is going to

SHEEP TO BE RAISED
ON THE MALlBU RANCH

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 27.-Sheep
raising on a very large scale is TO be
engaged in by the owners of Malibu
ranch, north of this city along the
coast. Three thousand sheep have
been driven to the ranch in the past
week and are being pastured for the
winter.
The sheep are said to be the best
species obtainabe in California. In
addition to the large amount of wool
that the owners expect TO get from
the sheep, considerable mutton will be
furnished for the Los Angeles market.
This is the first attempt to pasture
sheep on the Malibu ranch in many
years. Many cattle were killed by a
drought which prevailed several years
ago following the stocking of the
ranch.
