A well known vaudeville agent in the Majestic Theatre building, widely noted tor bla extreme generosity, was tested at bla deak one morning recently. Suddenly an associate dashed excitedly la aod aald: "Say, Bill, there's a gay out In the ball raising a rough-boose. Go oat and take care of him, will you?" "Think I won't?" promptly answered Bill, rising from hli desk and running Into the hallway. "Well what the b i do you wantl" he de- manded, addressing the Irate Intruder. "Five dollars," replied the stranger, extending bis hand. "Sure." came back Bill. "Here you are." Aod the associate agent looked about him for a soft place In which to throw a fit.

It did not surprise him to learn that the circulation In. Kansas Olty alone had Increased alityllve per cent, during the paat year. I do not know where Berkley goes next year, bat I do know that - h erevee he goes he will make good._ ' ' V ."OVBSESI SOME ONB STOLE MY OIL." The New Year was oabered in dnb and drear. Murky clouds lowered above the loop illsttlct of tne Windy City. .It waa the last day of the week, when a hos- telry situated at the comer of Wabaah Avenue and Jackson' Boulevard, was the scene of one of tbe most remarkable encounters ever recorded In an amusement paper. lrjust seems aa though the foyer of this par- ticular hotel Is destined to be tbe place toe these more or less gory sn*alr* (too bad that Lyon A Heatey are going to tear It down next May. and I wonder where the boys will go) and every Mt of the mosaic work wblcb embellishes this once world famous hotel could perhaps tell a tale which would not only cause one's eyes to shine like diamonds Jn a mine of darkneas, or make tbe cold shivers run' down tbe spinal column. - Great Btaraj Illustrious acton, world's famous gemral Agents, promoters of gigantic amoseanent affairs, peanut butchers, short-cake venders, first class menders,' nealers aud handlers, entropion tlcketaellera. door- talkers, shuts, railroad con- tractors, twenty-four boar men, bill posters, cook- lent stetosrd*. aviators end sau-ean slabbers, ratorbacka and pony punks, comediennes, Makers and car porters, principal bareback riders, funny clowns and funny people bars traversed the corri- dors of this hotel. But it was left to Eddie Martin to put the Jinx on It all, and crab tbe joint - From 'way out West In Dlson. III. (with a gat tn his kick, of course) came Will Godfrey, he of mighty renown aa a general all around bad man (refer you to Harry Noyet and some furni- ture men), with the spirit ot tie Mew Tear thoroughly seeped Into his system, and say, with some doll clinging closely to bla right fin. In order to understand what we mean by tome doll, we will, describe the parsde paraphernalia, of tills particular feature of tbe grand entry. ' She waa a dream. Her eyes had tbe look of a satisfied yen-yen. It was Oriental, nrr hair streaming down over her sbouldera resembled "I.a Belle Fatlma,". done in twenty colors. Her shoulders were like alabaster, nod one could easily determine by the 'nadvertent leaning of the right shoulder that she had helped to carry seat-planks on many a rainy lot. Her gown, a Worth creation—I know It was, because I saw Blegel A Cooper all over It. Her shoe, dainty putnns, cutest No. tena I ever gtunmed, end aa she walked through Ike lobby she was as noise- less as a freight train going through the Hoosac Tunnel. Her hose was ot lue United States Tent A Awning Oo.'a best duck, and tbe rlriae rope running through tbem was a work of art. The frou frou or ber lingerie came like a aephrr tn August blowing over ripening fields of grain. Was.lt any wonder that the coterie of eminent slmrmcn occupying tbe leatherette divans In the outer office of the inn sat up and took notice. The excitement waa Intense. Bot I am dlgretslng—what I started oot to tell you waa just what happeocd when they alole Godfrey's girl. And now enters Eddie Martin, the villain In tbe play. 'Not satisfied to leave well enough slooe. As aeon as he pined off tbo store, he got busy. Smiling Godfrey, the Gal was soon apltt out. When Godfrey got back from the phony 'phone call, tbe. Gal was gone. Tearing ont his hair In brcdfulls, gnashing his teeth, casting maledlc- tlona upon bis rival, he nulled nut tbe smoke wngon and tbe peaceful citlsen from Dixon be- ams a madman. Fortunately It wss only a ease of temporary de- nxiitla. He ruslied all over tbe house looking for Eddie. Finally somebody tipped it off that tiie object ot bis search was In the Indian room. Rushing Into the ■ aforesaid aborlglnst rendca- vocs, Godfrey knocked over tbe tables, broke np the crockery, and yelled. "Where Is bet" An Indiscreet cough from belilud the patais where* the llchta were low put him hep, and ssyl Frank Albert's aviators never 'lid make a flight like Godfrey did from the doorway to that spot. Let as drsw the cartaln, reader. Ob I pshaw, I'll tell you about It anyhow. The table waa apread with everything from consomme to pecans. Grabbing a planked while flih, God- frey Jammed It into Eddie's ear. A Welsh rare- bit waa spread all over Martin's kisser. The consomme did a Mississippi down bis back. The entrees landed In his eyes, and not to forget the bead of lettuce with French dressing. It took refuge In Martin's hair, which made it look like tbe doll's wig. Talk about Don Qulioto and his balsam, tbe sight that Eddie Martin presented after Sir Knight Godfrey finished hla asaault would cer- tainly entitle him to be known si tbe Knight of tbe Rueful Countenance. Scene III, act lit. Business of patching up things—dining room a mess of broken tablewsre, and Martin deluged with dellcasles; enter baby doll, np stage, wringing ber hands, burdened with rhlneslonea a la Ikey Gaul, moving as gracefully as a canal boat going np the Erie, exclaiming In passionate tones: Spare Mm, Will, For I lovo Mm" That's all. * 1914 GREETINGS FROM BLI BHIDOtS COMPANY, ROODMOUHB, ILL.
