Good Theatrical Town.

A traveling theatrical manager recently wrote to the owner of a hall in a small town in the State of Washington for a booking. He received the following answer: “Yours to hand. I won’t play on shairs no more. Your cumpany will hav to send me ten Dollars for one night and supply thair own kerrosean and lamps. They will allso hav to build thair own staige, becaus the last cumpany broke it down. Thair ain’t no money in plaing on shairs in this town, vnd I wont a shure thing.”
