A shabby little feller in a ‘ shabby, tattered suit, stood shiverin' there on the street; heart eloquent; lips mute. He held a shinin' quarter that he'd earned that bitter night; at- tractive food enticed him— but he held that quarter, tight. He loved those buttered batter- cakes; a restaurant was nigh— the feller in tha window poured ‘em out, then tossed ‘em high an' ketched ‘em till they was all browned—a feast fit for a king: the little chap edged closer an' was almost entering, when dark before his eyes there came the viston o his ma, her feeble fingers stitchin’ whilst she watched alone, for pa.

When a novel dramatized for the movies, the udience frequently recognizes the author’'s work, but the author seldom does. We doubt if it is possible for any man to get as mad as Sir Edward Carson’s portrait looks. There are 8,972 idiotic sayings, in- cluding the one that a spry old gentleman is “70 years young.” It is much easier to turn the other cheek when you know the gentleman could lick you in any case. A searchlight reveals the beauties of the night, and a seach-warrant the lecation of the moonshine. The rural districts get the new | styles fresh from the mavies, but they remain sadly behind in their slang. There are two kinds of perfect husbands: the one a young girl dreams about and the one a widow mourns. e This movement to prevent the sale of high heels is probably a part of the general campaign against high jinks.

He applied a local anaesthetic and when seen by a reporier a few hours after the operation, declared he was feeling fine and w no reason why he would not recover rapidly. Dr. Kane is 60 years old.
