Wh«n London Ptaygooro Rom Ago I not
, r an InoraaM In Priooa.
There occurred In London ootnethlng
over a hnndred yean Ufroa aeries of
rlota called the “O. P. Wota." which
grew out of an increaae In theater
priceo.
In 1800. after Covent Garden theater
had been burned to the ground andTe-
built. It was reopened under the man
agement of John Kemble, one of the
Kemble family of great actors, with an
increased scale of admission prices.
The new theater was all right, and
Kemble was popular, but the theater
going public resented the increase of
prices.
On the opening night when Kemble,
who was to play Macbeth, attempted
to moke an explanatory speech he was
hooted down by demand( for “old
prices,” and night after night people
crowded the house, danced on the seats
and interrupted the players with cries
of “O. P..” old prices.
The disturbance continued for sev
eral weeks, the people wearing “O. P.”
badges and displaying big “O. P.” plac
ards. The theater was closed for sev.
eral days, but when it was oi>ened the
trouble began again. Scats were de
stroyed and windows bfeken.
Legal proceedings were taken and
failed. The municipal authorities, as
sisted by a governor of the Bank of
.England, finally brought about a com
promise.—Pbiladelpbla Press.
ART OF BAIT CASTING.
Landing the Lure That CesxM the Rat
tbng Black Rase.
The bait caster! What memories of
Illy padded lakes, shimmering in the
burnished gold of the setting sun. of
a roaeata twilight peace, when the lake
is one vast mirror; of furious battles
with that bulldog of the sweet waters,
the Mack baas, are his!
A meet dlfflcult art. one that requires
more than a modicum of practice to
acquire—to place that lure precisely
ta a gives spot, forty or fifty feat away,
where a barn may lurk—aot near the
spot but right lu It. mind yea—to lend
that lure so aa to simulate « frag or
minnow naturally leaping or
to sucape possible attack by
to do all this with a short rad and
gwud real—caatiag the tore as a
boy throws aa appto from the
end of a stick—to do this with accuracy
and daftness is do so worthy ambition.
And after the strike comes a battle
between a Rva pound hah and a IflO
punad SMB. equalised by fair tackle,
that will put the exhllanttou of eter
aal youth Into any mao—especially If
he proves himself worthy to beet the
fish at his owa game—to take him with
all the handicaps Imposed by the nec-
eeaary tackle end win oat agalnet all
the snags, tactics, leaps sad plunges,

How Purple Dys Was Discovered.
It Is often said that the old Phoeni
cians discovered tbe purple dye in tbe
moret shell by observing a dog which
bad eaten one qf jtbe mollusks and
tbna colored hla chops with a rich pur
ple stain. Tbe ancients were accus
tomed to bunt tbe murex by tbe as
sistance of 0otnter dogs. Some of tbe
myths say tbst Heracles by the aid of
his dog first discovered tbe purple
murex.

Tam# or Wild, They Are Good For a

% Among tbe curious industries or
sources of livelihood In Mew York city
is an animal pawnshop. As you take
a watch to an ordinary pawnshop to
riise money on It, so you may take a
watchdog to the animal pawnshop.
Recently a man did this, getting $20
on a dog that was easily worth $50,
tbe pawnbroker said. But he was a
trick dog which had been taught to
open doors Bo in due time be opened'
a door and let himself out while let
ting tbe pawnbroker in.
A well known animal trainer owns
tbe shop. He takes camels, lions, ele
phants—any animals. There are no
charges for Interest on the loan, tbe
only charge being for the keep of the
animals, among which at almost any
time are dogs, monkeys, bears, goats,
cats, coons, foxes, parrots, canaries.
At one time he had forty trick don
keys In pawn. Tbe profits arising from
charges for feed and care are enough
to make the Institution pay.
Once he had a Uon in pawn which
broke his chain In tbe stable and went
roaring around, scared almost to death,
and It was only after heroic efforts
that they mustered courage to capture
him. Aa a matter of fact the animal
was a decrepit beast that had served
bis time In sideshows and was anxious
to get away.—Exchange.
