ACTED AS A WET BLANKET
Indignant Ladys Rebuke Sounded
Somewhat Incongruous, but Play
Goers Will Understand.

1t was a sweet, sad play, and there
was hardly a dry handkerchief in the
house. But one man in the gallery,
among the gods" irritated his COM
panions excessively by refusing to
take the performance in the proper
spirit. Instead of weeping, he laugh
ed. While others were hopping their
eyes and endeavoring to stife their
sobs his own eyes brimmed with mer-
riment, and he burst into inappropri-
ate outlaws. At last the lady by his
side turned upon him Indignantly.
Il DIDN'T know what brought you
h-here," she cobbed, with streaming
eyes, and pressing her hand against
her aching heart; t'but if y-you don't
like the p-play, you might l-let other
p-people enjoy it,"

right into an electric fan, just to
show that he didn't care for expense.
