REWARDS OF COMEDIANS

season have been working in comedies or musical comedies go out in the sum- mer and play the vaudeville theatres and make lot of money for themselves
 Eddie Foy can get more than he can handle. While vaudeville managers are begging him to come and play in their theatres, there are plenty of frst-class players of serious roles who are using up good shoe leather going from dramatic agency to dramatic agency looking for the jobs that never come.
 Montgomery and Stone, only few years ago, were doing a singing and dancing act. Now, after a few years Montgomery and Stone are the stars in "The Red MIL" which has run on Broadway for months, and which shows no signs of losing It's speed Few actors in the serious, laughless department of the dramas have progressed so fast or so far
 That actor who got about as close to the public heart any of them was Joseph Jefferson. There are few serious actors who would not willingly trade their vogue with that which is enjoyed by Nat Goodwin. Few others would hesi- tate before accepting a chance to change places with Eddie Foy and his foolish little cap and his "'Tfs a pretty thing" and the rest of 1t.
 It Is the comedy and the comedian that are taken into the heart. There is so much gray in life that the player who can tighten the color with a laugh and with laughter make those who see and hear him forget their troubles and their worries, it is he who stands the best show of continuing in their affections.

a HUNTING LAY OF MEckLENBURG5 COUNTY BY
There is a red fox, bold, but sly
On Liberty IIl he has good home,
With good old age he's doomed to die
And a vast domain when he cares to roam.
To other foxes he often says,
That he Is monarch of all he surveys
His match for speed has never been found
He fears not man, nor. beast hound.
Discouraged hunters often say.
"Od Red wore his scven-lcagued boots to-day.
Last week in the stiffness of early dawn

He listens quickly; then with foxy glee
Says day am sought by the F. F. W
That sounds to like "old masters horn,
I'll just make my toilet and then be gone.

And thinks haste unseenly, undgnfed
From the top Of the hill he glances down,
And sees III the valley old servant Brown"
IIc counts the dogs. then takes to his heels
And spends the day in distant fields.
But he thinks as he lies alone all day,
OF the ones who sought him SO blhe and say.
His heart grows heavy-fe knows that he
Has botted his record for chivalrie.
He thinks he lies there with nought to do,
OF the men from town with holidays few;
And tears shame his cheek run down.
When he thinks Of the untried Kentucky hound.
And all those huntsmen's disappointment
IS to him "a fly in his jar a.. Of ointment
Poor Master" he sighs II know that ne
Always appreciates race from me-
Like many another, at set OF sun

Many a good race they'd never forget
His name no resolves. In all It's glory
