"AT REST." 



The Chicago Gazette prints the fol- 

 lowing story regarding "Pete" Dailcy: 



"That fat and gifted man before he 

 graced our stage, used to wait on cus- 

 tomers in a small butter and egg store 

 on the East Side in New York. When 

 Peter made his first appearance, his 

 East Side friends decided to corner the 

 flower market and mark his debut with a 

 fitting floral tribute. The chairman of 

 the committee of arrangements was a 

 prosperous German undertaker, and his 

 professional instincts so far got the best 

 of him that when Mr. Dailey came be- 

 fore the curtain in response to enthusi- 

 astic applause, he was staggered at re- 

 ceiving over the footlights a huge pil- 

 low of white roses, on which was traced 

 in purple immortelles, AT REST."
