Travellers Tales

When Frank Promo was a much
younger man than he is now-and good
looking-he was plumber by occupa-
ton, and he went with girl named
Susie.
Susie" he said, as he laid down the
tools he was working with in the
house where the girl was employed,
Susie, ] love YOU
This was long ago.
''Oh, you go wan now, do, she snick-
cred. "You's only joking"
mo, honest I'm not" said Frank, as
he. gave his tools a vicious kick. II
mean it straight. Deed | do"
well, why didn't you choose time
for lovemaking when I'm not too
busy?" responded the young girl as she
gave the dishrag a flourish. Cant you
see I'm washing the dishes?"
"All right, all right Susie, don't get
cross about it. Look here, now, if /
draw out this job so that it lasts until
tomorrow afternoon will you promise to
get your work out of the way so that
we can chat and bill and COO a bit? p"
Tomorrow afternoon, indeed!"
snapped Susie, "You amt in a hurry,
1 must say. What's the use of wait
ing until tomorrow afternoon. What
the matter with tonight?''
Tonight, not on your tintype," re-
torted Mr.. Promo, scornfully Catch
me counting on my own time, / guess
not"
And the plumbing bill the owner of
the house got the next day was just
twice as much as it ought TO have
been.

BAD THEATRE MANNERS.

In a recent magazine article Wal
| ter Prichard Eaton, the dramatic
critic, deplored the bad manners of
| actors on the modern stage.
| Graceful bearing and dignity and
distinction are now seldom seen on the
| stage, in his opinion-while fiippancy,
rudeness and boisterousness have
| taken their place.
Mr.. Eaton's criticism might with
equal justice have been extended to
modern theatre audiences. 1t would
apply in a measure to Fargo and to
the audiences in Fargo's highest
priced theatre, no less than in other
| playhouses.
Few performances in Fargo begin
or end pleasantly. Late corners mar
the opening scene. The last few
minutes of play generally bring
such an adjustment of hats, coats and
furs, and such an exodus of people
who are afraid they will not get a
car seat-that it is impossible to UNI
derstand the actors and get the true
effect of the playwright's closing
scene.
Such boorishness is selfish. In
some cases it is doubtless due to
absent mindedness. Generally it is
the man or woman wholly Indifferent
to the rights and feelings of others
who makes such an exhibit of bad
manners.
Manager Brubaker has done some
good in refusing to seat late corners
until the first act is over-but he
can't well head off the rushers at the
finish.
