SUGGEST TO YOUR HOTEL OR RESTAURANT HERE, IF THEY ARE GOOD, THAT THEY SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN THIS BOOK. Quibs by Arthur O. May of "MAY-KILDUFF and ALLERTON" While playing Virginia, Minn., on Sunday night all acts have to catch a 10:10 P. M. train out of there for Ft. William and it's a rush for everyone to make it. I hurried down to the depot, bought my tickets and had the baggageman make out my checks. The train pulled in, but the transferman with the theatre baggage was nowhere in sight. The actors grew uneasy, fearing the train would pull out without the trunks, when we noticed the transferman coming along at snails' pace. In the excitement of the moment I called out to him, to hurry and get our bag- gage off his wagon and into the train, but he just answered: "Oh, that's all right, they can't go till I get there, 'cause I've got the mail!"
