Kelly, "tha Rolling Mill Mia, . Mad tha Bit of His Ufa. A theatrical manager tells this story regarding thn late J. W. Kelly I In his earlier days Kelly was appear ing at a variety hall in Ban Francisco. The proprietor and manager of the plao wns a German, who bad n great admi ration for the "rolling mill man." While Kelly waa appearing at the thea ter tho German arranged to put on the stage a acrica of tableaux depleting tho heroism of the members of the Ban Francisco Are department. Kelly was to stand at one sido of the stags and re cite somo original verses describing each picture or tableau os it was shown on the stages. Tho German was Wildly anxious that this tribute to tbo firemen should make a hit on the opening night "Oh, Chon," he said, "elo your prst, and you vill nmko te hit of your lifol" On the day of the opening Kelly re mained at homo, so as to be in the best possiblo trim for tho show. Soon after 8 o'clock he started for tho theater. Just before going into the ball it oc curred to him thnt ho could have some fun with the German; to he turned op his coat collar, mnssed his hair and went ree ling into the variety ball There was a sound of crashing glass ware. Tho German had dropped a tray full of beer glasses. "Oh, Chon," ho moaned, waving his hands in tho uir, "you huf wooined ull to tnplozet Vat is to goed of hnfllng Irishman to vork for you?" "Thushall right," mumbled Kelly, staggering up to him. "Go voy," shouted the manager. "You hef kveered to show." With that the manager rushed fer tho stngo nnd arranged thnt a soubretto should announce tho tableaux. Then hes Went out in front and waited, all in a tremble, to see if sho could get through with it In the meant imn Ke lly went around on the stage, and just us tho son bretto walked on thn stagn Ke-lly fed lowed her and said, "I'll tako euro cf this." The German saw him como on tho stage, mid with a cry of mortal terre r ran for the front door. He knew thut Kelly wemld speil everything. Ho stexxl iu the slreet, mopping bis brow nnd moaning in agony, when ho began to hear loud applause insido tho theater. Ho could hardly believe his senses. Every few secemds there would be a. roar of luughter and haudclapping. Ho timidly went buck into the hall, and there was Kelly, sober as a judgo and "straight as a string," mnking tho hit of his life. After that all the German could do was to sit down at a table to weep and order beer for everybody around. In telling tho story Kelly used to say mcroly to finish the story, "I saw him after that when I really did have a tidy number aboard, but he only laughed and aaid, 'No, Chon, you can't fool me.'"
