Thrifty to The Last.

An old Lancashire miller noted for
his keenness in matters financial, was
once in boat trying his best to get
across the stream which drove his
mill. The stream was flooded, and he
was taken past the point at which he
wanted to land; while further on,
misfortune still further overlook him,
to the extent that the boat got upset.
His wife, realizing the danger he was
in, ran frantically along the side of
the stream, crying for help in pitt
full voice; when to her sheer amaze
ment, she was suddenly brought to a
standstill by her husband yelling out;
IF I'm drowned, Molly, dunnot for
get that fiour's gone up two shillin a

Be sure TO get up at ! O'Clock this
morning so that you can have all
your firecrackers exploded before
breakfast. Later in the day perhaps
you can get your little sister to loan
you some Of hers.
Don't bother about scraping out
the fire in your punk. Just stick it
into the pocket where your frecrack-

When you light fuse and it won't

You lose your eyebrows, they'll grow
on again in year or two.
Always sit on the old barrel under
which you put the lighted cannon
cracker. If the head caves in and
you go through. you may lose both
legs, but the probability is that you
will lose only one.
Always nold a roman candle square
ly by the end. In this way, if it
should happen to blow out backward
you can have complete celebration
up your coat sleeve
Lay your lighted punk carefully on
the stone steps. You may want to
come back after awhile aud sit down
on it.
By all means drink 10 glasses of
lemonade and eat as many dishes of
ice cream as you can. 1t doesn't
matter at all if you are groaning and
tossing on the lounge in the back

They're chiefly actors who're con-

ever got in their lives before. What
they do is to call everything rotten, de-
eide that they know more about the
play than the man who wrote it and
walk around as though it were beneath
them to do anything moro like acting
than that when it came to the question
of acting in a music hall.
And hams, what are they-the sort
of hams you means"
They're chiefly variety actors accus-
