IT AsToNIsHED THE COOK
Marvellous Appetite Of "Mr. claren-
dom" Whose Name Was Pass
port to Kitchens Best.

J. Hayden-C Clarendon, eating his
three meals in a German grill OF much
renown. has, day by day, extended his
acquaintanceship from the steward to
each of the walters and from thence
into the kitchen to the cooks. And it
so happened while ago that one of
the cooks haG had 10 send his wife to
a hospital. Clarendon, ever thought
full, bought flowers and sent them out
to the kitchen to be forwarded thence
to the hospital.
This, Of course, made him more
than solid with the culinary depart
ment of the big restaurant, with the
result that whenever a waiter an.
nounced that the order was for Mr..
Clarendon" the cooks would go to
the limit in getting him the best
steaks and chops and serving them as
works Of art.
The walters weren't slow in learn
ing that the word Clarendon" was
the passport to the kitchens best
the open sesame, as it were.
So 1t happened that one afternoon
a waiter came into the kitchen with
the order:
"T-bone steak. rare. for Mr. Claren-
dom"
The man at the broiler threw up
his hands.
Whats come over Mr.. Clarendon?"
he asked in astonishment. HE has
had two porterhouse steaks, boiled
salmon, ham and eggs, three oyster
stews, sanddabs. chops. and now he
wants a T-bone steak-and all in an
hourl"-San Francisco Chronicle.

OLD STAGES OF NEW YORl
Many Years Ago They We're Operates
Regularly Between Metropolis and
Other Cities.

In excavating underneath the former
Tallman livery in New York recently
workmen found a number Of straps
such as were used in former days on
the stage coaches which piled between
Albany to Buffalo.
The straps are supposed to have
been made at the Sherwood establish.
ment, which many years ago stood at
the northeast corner OF State and Dill
streets. S. C. Tallman said he be-
lieved the straps 10 be at least rs
years old, and to have lain where they
were found probably for that length Of
time or longer.
It was In 1909 that Isaac Sherwood
of Skaneatles became a partner OF
Jason Barker of Utica in conducting
the stage line which passed through
this county. carrying the United States
mail It is recorded that in 1916 a
line Of coaches. among the proprietors
Of which was the firm Of Isaac Sher-
wood & Co. Of Auburn. was operated
between Canandaigua and Utica.
These coaches passed over what was
known as the Seneca turnpike, con.
structed between the two points
named. 1t was designed to build this
road six rods wide, the middle 25 feet
OF 1t to be covered with gravel or
broken stone to depth of Is inches.
The Seneca Turnpike company was
authorized to erect toll gate every
ten miles and exact 1914 cents toll
for two-horse teams and rs cents for
four horses. -
From Utica east a tri-weekly stage
line was operated to Albany, and this
likewise was controlled by Sherwood
& Co. and others.
The corner of State and Dill streets
was great center for stage coaches
In the early days. Various other lines
besides the turnpike stages converged
In Auburn, there being stages to Ho-
mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other
places. 1t was in that day that the
fight broke out between the Pioneer
Line, as a new competing company
was called, and the Sherwood combina-
tion.
The Pioneer Line gained control of
the principal hotel in the village,
known as the Western Exchange, hop
Ing thus to embarrass its rivals. But
the Sherwood interests fitted up the
Bank of Auburn, as it was known, for
their headquarters An issue of this
campaign was the question of running
stage coaches on Sunday.

HAD TO EAT HIS PARTNER
George cohan's story Of Actor Who
Had to Walt Too Long for
Engagement.

George M. Cohan. at an after-theater
supper at Delmonieo's, was talking
about the turkey trot."
There's a moving little story about
the turkey trot,'" he said, with his
dreamy smile, "a story that illustrates
well the vicissitudes Of an actors
life.
"An elderly actor said in despair to
theatrical agent one day:
rs there nothing you can do for
me? I've hung around your Office. out
of work, for eight months now
"The agent, as he polished his dia
mond ring with his red silk handker-
chief. answered thoughtfully:
Look here. Bring yourself up to
date. The turkey trot" is all the 60.
You tain some animal or bird to do
the turkey trot" with you, and I'll get
you on one Of the circuits at a three
figure salary
''The old actor thanked the agent
gratefully. He bought an ostrich from
a retired circus man, and after a lot
Of hard work he taught the bird to
turkey trot' with him splendidly.
Then he reported himself to the agent
again.
But the agent, for all his promises,
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for while, then
every other day, then every third day,
and at last a week went by without
his appearance at the agents office.
"Then the agent sent for him, and
said:
"'Well, I've fixed you up at last.
I've booked you for that turn of yours
at -.
But the old actor interrupted. sad
ly:
TITS too late now,' he said.
!" Too late? How Is It too Later"
said the agent, frowning.
"Tve had to eat my partner NUT
