REFLECTIONS OF UNCLE EZRA

Our milliner is usin’ a hoSs collar for a rat at this writin’. * A vaudeville act is a good deal like a meerschaum pipe. It ain’t no good unless- it draws well. There is one thing I hate to see more than a woman splittin’ wood,, and that is a man trlmmin’ hats. It Is a wise lad who can take eight of his sister’s cookin’ school doughnuts and make a pair of roller skates out of ’em. *•! ’ # We have heerd a good deal about them Latin quarters in Paris, but there an’t any of ’em in circulation around here yet. No person can see a bald-headed galoot makln' a monkey of himvelf around a stage door without bein’ convinced that Darwin was almost light, after all. Reginald Hickey, our actor, is takin’ on flesh quite rapid, and hopes to be able to play heavy parts soon. Dp to now he has been a light comedian, weighin’ only I*3 pounds. An actress gets a chance to see a good deal of the country, and just 'now, in the musical comical shows, the country gets a chance to see a good deal of the actress.—Judge’s Library.
