MAKING a COMEDIAN.
Actors Win Laughter by Peeuiiarisies
Of Face and Dress.

Eddie Toys face is funny. So are
Francis Wilson's legs. So Is Frank
Daniels face. and so are also the ges-
lures he makes with his short arms.
Funny are the particolored stockings
that May Robson wears. Funny In the
queer little voice that Katie Barry
employs. Funny II John G. Slavin's
mousellke demeanor ON the stage. and
as funny Is DE Wolf Hopper's ponder
Gus burlesque dignity. Funny are the
limitations that Nat Goodwin gives.
and none OF them is funnier than his
imitation OF himself
There are n thousand ways Of being
funny on the stage. The man that
finds a new way has his fortune made.

Charlie Case talks faster. and he never

with him.
George Conan talks through his
nose on the stage not much more thar
he does on. and he drawls. JUNE Nc
Cree drawls and the last word OF each
of his sentences. like the first word OF
each OF Cohan's. Is long drawn out.
Cecil Lean has the funniest teeth on

FERTILITY OF PINE LANDS.
They Vary in Richness of Soil, as
Do Other Lands.


The question has been asked regard
ing the fertility of pine lands in the
northern part of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. In answer it may
be said, that with these as with other
lands, they vary in fertility. None
of them are very rich, but some are
much richer than others.
Lands on which the Jack pine is
scrubby, are poor. They can only be
farmed successfully through shllful
management. Lands that grow large
Jack Pine trees have more fertility
than the former Lands that grow
Jack and Norway pine only, may be
better than the former, but they are
not rich. Land that grows white pine
intermingled with other pines, is still
better But no land that grows pine
only can be looked upon as rich nat
urally, that is to say, as rich as some
other classes of soil. Sometimes, how
ever, pine grows on hard clay soils.
They are not low in fertility, but such
lands are hard to till In them food
unlocks slowly.
In some instances, says Orange
Judd Farmer, scattering pines and
even pines in large numbers grow
intermingled with hardwood. They
frequently grow thus to large size.
Such soils are usually good They
are not, however, superior to soils in
the areas named, that grow hardwood
alone.
Much depends on the subsoil.
Scrubby Jack pine is a pretty sure in
dication that the subsoil is sandy as
well as the surface soil. Hardwood
trees, including Eastwood and pop
lar, usually grow on lands with clay
underneath. The amount of loan in
a sandy soil is a strong factor in de-
termining it's worth
