performance In the evening when the
men were loading the cars, they found
Hamlet seated on the front steps OF the

go away but he determinedly remained
where he was seated and the endeav-
ors OF the men TO get him 20 go were
OF no avail: so as last resort they
placed him inside with the other dog
actors. Hamlet made friends OF his
canine companions and was soon the
favorite OF all the attaches. He was
taken in hand by Professor Norris and
he showed n willingness and aptitude
for learning tricks that was nothing
