NOT A PROMISING MARKET
Seasickness Probably Responsible for
Actors Disposition of Cargo
of Potatoes.

The late William H Smith Of man
agerial fame and Charley Backus of
minstrel fame many years ago en-
parked from San Francisco for Aus
tralia on a business venture
The captain of the boat. who was
an intimate friend of each, suggested
that the Voyagers lay in a cargo of
potatoes to dispose of on their arrival,
there being big demand for them
there. The "Murphys" were accord
ingly purchased and placed on board.
Now, Mr.. Backus was always recog-
nlzed as great comedian, but with
the deck of a ship instead of a stage
as his rostrum he wasn't so funny.
In short, Mr.. Backus was seasick.
Mr.. Smith proved an excellent sailor.
and while Backus was stretched out
on chair Smith said, Charley, in
case you die, what shall I do with
those potatoes?"
And poor Backus, who thought he
was dying, said: GO to hades with
them"
