How a Doc GaIIops.

The gallop of the dog differs from
that of the horse in that the sequence
OF foot fallings is rotary instead Of
diagonal. The order is the left fore,
the right fore, the right hind, the left
hind, and then again the left fore; but
this sequence is often reversed, so
that the order becomes left fore, the
left hind. the right hind and the right
fore, and then again the left fore.

An apt story is told of a pious old
parson who was rowing with his three
pretty daughters on streem. A
yokel passing by noted that one of the
fair damsels carried fishing rod, and
was moved to ask the parson, Coin
fishin?'' Sir" responded the good
man with much dignity, Il am fisher
of men" "Wa-al," drawled the bump
kin, we've got fine bait"
And the Baker offering of "the Sun
ny Side of Broadway" carries some
exceptionally good bait. Every femin-
inc role in the cast from tn, most I'M
important "filer-in'' to the leading
woman, is pretty to look upon, and,
what is even more rare in the chorus

don't rattle when they dance. Regard

Great gobs of gladness emanate
from the personality of Max Bloom,

mirth.
Comedians Harrison as Mich

that he expects to complete the Op-
ton within a week or ten days. The
