HOW they Won OUT
Singers Thought Up a Really
Neat Scheme.
Little Conspiracy That Seems TO Point
to Truth Of the Familiar Old
Ada5e That Every Man
Has His Price.

Once there was male quartet
which was booked by lyceum bureau
that would allow a date to be can
celed only in the event of a perform
er's death.
This quartet in question was booked
to sing at Buzzard, N. D., one cold
winter night. The timetable told the
boys to go to Terminal, which was the
end Of the line, and hire liveryman
to take them oyer to Buzzard.
= They arrived at Terminal on Sat-
urday morning. The hotel was not at
all bad. The first train out was to 60
Monday. The liveryman said that he
would convey them to Buzzard for SO.
1t was % miles. He intimated that he
thought he could notice indications Of
a robust blizzard approaching. He said
It was not uncommon for parties to
get lost in billiards and freeze to
death before being found. It was
splitting snow at noon. ssz;gs
The boys went over to the telegraph
Office. wired the bureau. explained
about the long drive to Buzzard, and
the dangers with which the journey
was fraught, and asked that they be
permitted to cancel the engagement.
They offered to compensate the bureau
to the extent Of its commission IL per
mitted to blow the date. ,z..3t s..s..
Their answer. from the bureau was
an emphatic denial Of permission to
cancel the. date. ..-...s :-iss, II,
And yet the boys did not fill the en-
gagement at Buzzard. "a.
There was only one liveryman in
Terminal, and his price for the drive
to Buzzard was $40, SO the boys
Clipped in and paid him $40 to write
out statement to the effect that he
had refused to make the trip in the
face of an approaching storm. They
sent his statement to the bureau.
