What Interested Him.

Sir Arthur Pinero. the dramatist.
tells an amusing story of a conversa-
ton he once heard while watching
one Of his own ol-7s in the stalls OF
q West end theater.
A lady and her little boy were sit
ting near him. and as the curtain
went down on the second act the
fond mother turned to her son and
said: well. dear. are you enjoying
it,"
"Oh. yes, mamma" replied the
youngster, gleefully; do you know.
there are sixty-nine men In this thea
ter who have bald spots on the tops
Of their heads! / counted them FIVE
times!"
After that the lady enjoyed the rest
OF the play without asking her young
hopeful any more questions.-Pear-

worse when he departed than when
he came in. for she spilled coffee down
his left arm. onto his collar and on
to his neck. The poor man didn't
scold her. or didn't even frown. He
mopped tho coffee on his coat sleeve
and on his collar. and he wiped his
neck. And after that he gave her q
flve-cent tip.
She didn't remain In that restau-
rant long. II was not her fault. She
was fired. She went out then and
looked for another job. SO far as she
knows, 40 one had recognized her. but

in which she got employment was a

could earn so cents day. Miss Hurst
was no better as q ripper than she

DANIEL BAKER DEFEATS
HOWARD PAYNE COLLEGE.

BROWNWOOD. Tex. Nov. 26.--
Daniel Baker won from her time
honored rival, Howard Payne, yes
terday by the narrow margin of
three points in one OF the greatest
football struggles ever witnessed on
a local gridiron. Captain Melvin
Prentice in the second quarter boot
ed the ball over the crossbar for
Daniel Baker for the only score
during the contest. A furious wind
ragged throughout the game. blowing
clouds of dust across the field and
at times completely obscuring the
players.
Howard Payne played one OF the
best games III the history OF the col
lege and the result throughout the
contest was extremely doubtful.
Coaches Copas and Perry had each
established an almost impregnable
defense and the ball changed hands
many times The extremely high
wind made passes and kicks almost
impossible and the teams fought
doggedly with line plays and end
runs. Daniel Baker carried the
bali Well at times, but twice lacked
the necessary punch to put it across
when within the ten-yard line.
