published, thla comedian tickled the crowd
by saying that It is a hard matter to
gt a drink In Lincoln and then expressed
lha hop that thlnes would be fixed dif
ferently before hla next visit.
According to the evening paper thia
an affront to the good temperance peopl
f IJnioln and forthwith an objection was
filed with the manager of tha theater.
The manager responded by commanding
' the ' comedian to cut out theee objection
able remark, even though a generous ap
plause greeted the "hope" of the comedian.
The Intimation wan made In the article
p-jhlished that If the comedlane dare t..
