Mitchell Advocate,
A gentleman from Philadelphia had
two seats for a musical comedy. The
seats were right down in front of the
house, but at seven o'clock at night,
the Philadelphian found that he
would be unable to go. So he phoned
the box office and asked the manage-
ment to exchange the tickets for an-
other night.
His request was refused. The man-
agement was within its rights, of
course, but the customer didn't look
at it in that light. He was very angry.
And the more he wranlc during din-
ner, the more furious he became. So
he finally hit upon the old idea,
"I'm going out," he told a friend,
"and give these swell tickets to one
of the worst tramps I can find, He'll
be so dirty that he'll smell up the
theatre. I'll show those guys that
they can't fool around with me. Just
wait."
And he kept his word. He taxied
across town to a most unsavory
neighborhood, entered a saloon and
offered the boss a five -dollar note to
dig him ftp the filthiest specimen in
the vicinity. The boss sent out a few
scouts. And within ten minutes they
had rounded up a derelict that was
just about the last word in tramps.
The Philadelphian brought out the
cickets.
"Don't think I am crazy or any-
thing," he saicl, "but I want you to sit
in these seats tonight. You're going
to see the show, and you're right
down in the second row. And not only
that, but I'll provide you with a .good
meal and a taxi that will take you
back and forth. Here are the tickets."
The tramp drew back. .
"Just a minute, buddy," he growl-
ed, suspiciously. "blot's de name of
de show?"
