In short speech at the meet

Illustrating a point, told of a visit
of a lumberman from the South
some time ago. They were dis
cussing the eternal Question
tobacco-when the lumbernan
said:
"Why are YOU fellows still
wrangling over tobacco-are you
never going to quit ?When | was
here years ago you were at it
and now | find you still at it.
1--WE are not going to quit until
it is settled right said Mr.. Har-
ney. "By the way, what are yo,
doing up this way ?"
I'm on a vacation" said the
lumberman You see the demand
for lumber has fallen off, we have
a large stock on hand and we
have closed down all mills until
the surplus is sold.'
.Is that SOP" said Mr. Harvey.
"Why don't you fellows do like
we tobacco men do-rush the
lumber to the market and take
whatever is offered for it,"
Help exclaimed the lumber
man, eff we did that we'd go
broke"
"Hell!" exclaimed Mr. Harvey

GUARD DIGNITY OF PRESIDENT
Washington Theatrical Managers Are
Not Allowed to Advertise His At
tendance in Their Playhouses.

There is a code of etiquette govern
ing relations between the executive
mansion at Washington and the play
house. Point No. l In the code pro-
vides that no manager, either of the
theater or Of the visiting attraction,
shall angle for Presidential patronage.
When company arrives at the theater
Its manager Is handed card which
impresses this upon him, and brushes
all hopes of using his pet projects for
Turing the President to confer indorse-
ment upon his offering.
Another point is that box is re-
served in every theater in Washing
ton every day until noon for the Pres
tdent. BY that hour the White House
Is supposed to have notified the theater
that the President will attend that eve
ming. Reservations may be made
earlier, OF course, but in no event may
the house or company manager make
use OF paragraph in the newspapers
announcing that the President will at
tend on such and such an evening.
