A Fable.

There was once an astute manager of k dramatic company which was playing to about $lO a night. Now, the astute manager argued to himself: “There will have to be something doing here pretty suddenly, or It will be a case of hie to the friendly inn, for we cannot eat the papier-m&che turkey.” So he put Out the S. R. O. sign and refused to let any one into the theater that evening. Next day there was a line of people reaching from the box office to the edge of town. Moral—ls you carry something besides hair under your hat you do not need to dramatize a novel or take milk baths.— Baltimore American.
