The stupidity of un usher In handing
a bunch of rosea over the footlights,
the apparent confusion of the recipient,
the embarrassment on the part of the
one for whom they were really In
tended and the hysteria and team of
the giver contributed to a tragedy en
acted, but practically unobserved, at
the Primrose's Minstrel Thursday.
It all happened after the sweet-voiced
tenor. Will Oakland, hud warbled the
strains of tiuit old ballad. ‘‘Silver
Threads Among the Gold.” Mr. Oak
land liad earned his sulary for Thurs
day and sat down amid the applause of
the admiring audience.
None applauded the efforts of Mr.
Oakland more heartily than did two la
dles and n little boy who were seated
in one of the lower boxes. From their
actions It was evident that they were
more or less Interested In the program,
and were awaiting the appearance of
some one more Important than those
already on the stage.
• Tho serenity of tho occasion was
marred, however, when, after Mr. Oak
land had seated himself with that sat
isfaction of a tenor singer having
pleased his sudience, an usher tripped
down the aisle with a magnificent
bunch of flowers and mode motions to
the minstrel folks.
Oakland Got Bouquat.
Quick-witted George Oqnnan. one of
the funny men. spied the flowers and
made a dive for the footlights. After
getting the bouquet he marched over
to the official position of Mr. Oakland,
and after bowing and scraping, pre
sented It to the tenor, while the audi
ence applauded. It was an unexpected
happening for Mr. Oakland, but he
accepted the offering.
Tho action of the usher caused con
sternation In the box occupied by the
two ladles and the little boy. The
flowers had been sent by one of the
ludics, but they were not intended for
Mr. Oakland. She did not even know
Mr. Oakland and was determined that
the bouquet should reach the on* for
whom it was intended.
The lady disappeared from the box,
and with tears in her eyes, appealed to
the policeman who usually watches the
performances from the back row. She
was referred to the head usher, who
listened to her troubles.
About that time George Primrose aud
his dusky partner In an Intensely red
dress commenced the dancing melange,
singing ' Lazy Moon.” Amiri the lady's
tears she was heard to tall the head
usher that the flowers were intended
for the dusky maiden In the flaming
garb. Sain Marlowe.
The bead usher, as an emissary, went
behind the scenes to straighten the
trouble, and with the assistance of Mr.’
Primrose smoothed out everything. Mr.
Marlowe waa put In possession of the
flowers and their fragrance was still
strong enough to convey the message
Imparted to them by the fair donor.

year limit of none of the pastors of
