A NEAT LITTLE JOKE

Which was Set Up On Bill King's Young Men.

Monday a good job was put up on a pestiferous youth who subs in a county office and is persistently indelicate in urging newspaper men to disclose even names supressed in their papers. He was told of Maude Branscombe's arrival in this city, and with great haste confided the reliable information to Bill King's errand boy. The youthful twain took the whole job in with shark-like avidity.

The result of their conference was that Bill King's boy stood shivering down at the depot to wait for a beautiful blonde with "exquisite face," who never came. This little story accounts for the rehash of a sensation, given in the GLOBE March 27th, which appeared in Bill King's paper, yesterday.

Maude Branscombe, the charming little actress, performed the part of Hebe in H. M. S. Pinafore, at the Standard Theatre, New York City, Monday night. If she were in St. Paul Monday, she has possessed herself of the magic strip of carpet which the Arabian Nights speaks as empowering the owner to defy space. Bite.
