The stranger took the mess, swal- lowed a mouthful, and turned red in the face. Game to the finish, however, he gulped down the remainder. “Well, how'd you like that?” asked the bartender grimly. “Well,” replied the tenderfoot, “if I wasn’t an old billiard drinker I'd say that was concentrated lye.” —Youngstown Telegram.

Local Dealers Desired Decline of the Drama He always claimed that he had worked with Booth and Barrett and this got him much consideration where actors gathered. But if asked about any of his parts he would answer: “I did hoof beats.” And then he would always add: “The drama has gone to pot.” “Why so?” “Anybody can do honks outside.” —Louisville Courier-Journal.
