A Voice From the Goods"

In a certain theater which makes a
speciality OF melodrama there Is a
large following Of gallery gods" and
very naturally the "sky" assemblage Is
composed Of knowing critics, who are
loud In their demands to be pleased
Woe unto the actor who is unfortunate
enough to incur their displeasure!
Recently play with a hair raising
plot was put on the boards. The hero
was evidently new to his part, for he
fumbled his lines badly and spoke In
q falterlng tone. Perhaps II was for
this reason that he did not meet with
the sympathy Of the gallery.
Just before the crisis Of the play the
hero clasped his sweetheart in his arms
and said:
"keep a brave heart. my darling.
The worst is yet to come"
Whereupon n voice that had no doubt
received its training In crying "Extry!
on the street yelled out:
What are y gOln' t do, mister
sing "-London Tlt-Bits.

UnansWerable.

"yicious circle" is term often used
In the medical world. An example OF
its psychological use applied to argu-
ment may be found in Joseph A. Sco-
ville's book. "Old Merchants of New
York City"
Tom, the son Of wealthy man, was
a great favorite with all who knew
him. but he heartily detested business.
A merchant Of New York had hired
him as q bookkeeper at high salary.
Nevertheless Tom got into the habit
Of reaching the Office later and later,
until finally he GOT there about In
the afternoon. When this state Of af-
fairs had gone on for week, the mer-
chant demonstrated.
"Rut, my dear sir" returned Tom.
"how can come any earlier? | don't
get my breakfast until l."
But get your breakfast earlier"
"IIow can |? don't get up till T."
"Then get up earlier"
"How can l." pleaded Tom. when

nent there was nothing to be said.

Hvalanches.

There are avalanches OF different
kinds, but when the term avalanche"
is used it is generally supposed to ap-
ply to falls Of great bodies OF snow or
ice, says Mr.. Edward WhymSer In the
London Strand Magazine. One OF the
first occasions Of this kind which at
tracted attention took place In 1920,
upon Mont Blanc. and 1t is commonly
called the Hamel accident. DR.. Hamel,
a Russian, set out on Aug. Is to go up
Mont Blanc, accompanied by two Eng
lishmen and eight guides. They had
ascended to a height Of more than
14000 feet, with FIVE guides In front,
who were cutting or making steps,
when ali at once the snow above them
gave way, and the members Of the
party were carried down a thousand
feet or more over the slopes up which
they had toiled Snow again broke
away above and more or less covered
them. Some Of them struggled out,
but three Of the leading guides were
hurled into a crevasse and buried un-
der an immense mass Of snow. The
bodies Of these men reappeared at the
foot Of the glacier thirty years after
ward.
