The reason the touring companies of this sort are so few at this time, he says, is because tie agents of his class have “layed old” and quit promoting.

We received a letter last week in the }n@writing of a girl or woman, which said that if we ever “threw her down” om ® date again she'd mash our ears. We are not in the habit of avoiding dates with ladies, so we are inclined to Welleve some mistake has been made. Our ears are very large and would mash deliciously, but as they are now they flap very becomingly and we'd rather have the flap than the mash. if any young man has been using our name in courting this lady, will he kindly keep his dates with her and ‘hus gave both our reputation as a lady. killer and our ears? whe can ride bucking broncos, round up cattle and ‘bulldog’ steers with any Western girl of her age.” Thus does The World Magazine de- -ssgribe Mary McCormic of the Garden verlety of grand opera. This will bing chuckles from the West. We never knew a woman to “bulldog” a steer. ‘That is a gentle little trick at- tompted by men and oniy a few of them, at that. A man leaps from the back of a running horse to the neck ofa steer; takes the steer’s horns in his hands and sinks his teeth into the enimal’s nose. The man hangs on at the risk of his life and twists the steer’s head until the animal falls. ‘Then he hog-ties the steer and stands up, if he-can, to receive the plaudits of the onlookers, Buffalo Vernon used to “bulldog’’ steers until all his front testh were jerked out. If Mary has ever .“bulldogged” a steer success- folly she'll be a winner in grand opera. It is much easier to “bulldog” operatic success.

BLASTED ILLUSIONS. David Wark Griffith is weeping. He probably will never take a long anticipated vacation now, D. W.

W. G. received word that Prohibition really prohibited in the ‘Kentucky hills and he at last dis- covered why the grass was blue.
