Show A Magician Mystifies. Two men sat inthe hotel lobby glowering at the smoke which they blew toward the celling. At Intervals they broke into argument, which involved in-volved personality. "What's the matter with them?" asked a salesman. "One is the proprietor of thi3 hoteV" answered the accommodating clerk, "the other owns the only newspaper news-paper In town. "Last night both went to the theater, where a magician asked for a handkerchief handker-chief A man jokingly handed him a big square of muslin. "The magician studied the cloth for a few minutes, and then said, dramatically: dramatic-ally: " 'Thank Heaven, there Is at least one clean sheet in this town.' "And now the publisher says the hotel bedclothes were alluded to, and tho other insista that it was the town's newspaper." |
