LONDON THEATERS.
Th Hiitorio Pit That la Fanead Off
From tha Stall.
. In the orchestra of a London theater
there are only eiulil or tea rows of
Hulls, and immediutely ludillid tlieiu in
the pit, which In walled off by a Imr
rier or fence thut atretchea clear acron
the theater. In the pit 'there are no
Individual aeata merely rowa of long
beuoliea mi which the people alt rather
closely together.
It Is, of course. Impossible to reserve
eats in advance, and people who are
going to the pit have to come early on
the evening of the performance In or
der to secure the best place.
Hence In the rase of a popular piny
a long queue of people may be seen at
7 o'clock stretching from the pit door
all along the sidewalk, waiting for the
houne to open. They keep their place
very patiently In line, united by a com
mon mood of pleasurable anticipation.
One ninnuger awhile ago mmle the
experiment of selling reserved seata In
the pit at the usual price, but to thla
the ilt people objected strenuously on
the ground that they could seldom
know In ndrance Just when they would
And themselves possessed of that hap
py combination of money and an even

going and preferred to take their
chances waiting In line when the for
tunate opportunity arrived.
The pit Is patronized by people of a
very estimable class and Is often fre
quented by well educated men and
women who wish to save money and
do not care to dress. Whereas a seat
In t lie stalls costs half a guinea (or ap
proximately $2.-ri0, a place In the pit
costs only two and six (or approxi
mately 0 cents), and the play can be
seen very nearly as well.
In the pit the same program that la
sold In the stalls for sixpence Is sold
for twopence, and the pit has a re
freshment bar of Its own which Is
cheaper than the main bar of the thea

there Is a pit In the London theater la
that there has always been a pit. That

HOUSE OF SURPRISES.
Th Horn of Britiah Diplomacy, No.
10 Downing Street
Why does the residence of the prime
minister of the kingdom resemble the
dwelling of a retired grocer of simple
tastes? The reply to this Is forthcom
ing. It does not. Jt only pretends to
resemble the dwelling of a retired gro
cer. No. 10 Downing street begins to
reveal Itself as a surprise packet when
you huve rung one of its three belN
aud persuiidinl Its front door to open.
Vou then discover yourself in an en-
tranre hull whose mills, walls and gen
eral slmbbiiieNg would be the instant
niln of a Itloomsbury temperance
hotel, and you perceive that you have
unwittingly done an injustice to the
retired grocer. Vou decide that no gro
cer, at any rule no English grocer.
would tolerate such a kennel.
But when you have penetrated a lit
tle further, and especially when you
have mounted the first fllffbt of stairs.
you will be rendy to remodel your
views once again. Within thirty sec
onds you will have lost your bearings.
Within sixty you will admit that you
are In a palace full of bewildering cor
ridors and endless sumptuosity, with
here and there a glimpse of gome Im
mense and stately apartment. No. 10
Downing street liegius Just exactly
where you might have expected it to
finish. Ita ramiticiitions are innumer
able, Ita geography un eulgma even to
the most ancleut Janitor. From FU1U
potts and Arnold's "The Statue."
Th Ghoat of Clopton.
A grewsome story of Cloptou Ilouse,
Stratford-on-Avon (which Mrs. Gaa
kell visited as a girl) Is told In Mrs
Chadwick'8 book on the novelist
Charlotte Clopton, who was supposed
to have died of tlie plague, was burled
"with fearful haste." She was discov-ercd-wheu
the ancestral vault was
opened to receive another victim of
the plague leaning against the wal!
in her grave clothes; she was. Indeed,
dead, but lu her agonies of despair
and hunger she had bitten a piece
from her shoulder. "Of course she
has walked ever since." as Mrs. Gas
kcll says.
Counter C(.
Tpon beinj, called In the police court,
charged with au assault upon a clerk
at a aodn water fountain, the defend
ant arose and said. "Your honor, 1 am
guilty, but 1 plead a counter case."
Whereupon the aforesaid clerk arose
and replied: "Your honor, the counter
didn't have anything to do with It. I
walked around the counter before I
struck Llm." Case and Comment.
Quit Poetic
"Tell me. Harry," said May Bright
ley's admirer to her young brother,
"who is this other fellow that's been
calling on your sister?"
"I don't know his name." replied
Harry. "1 Just call him 'April show
ers.' "
"What for?"
Because he brings May flowers."
Th 8oft Answer.
"John, don't you think I have worn
this pair of shoes long enough?"
"No, dear. If they were long enough
ynu wouldn't hnre hud those corns."
