HE average mans dictionary contains these
i COMEDIAN: A silly person who makes
you laugh.
TRAGED1AN A person who makes you think.
He lets it go at that with the mental addendum
that he would like to have the comedian around
to amuse him when the day is dark and
dreary, and when he is out of sorts Never
once does he think that the comedian has just as
keen sensbilites the tragedian. The comedian
is paything to amuse Since the comeoial
amuses on the stage he must amuse over the care
table. He just can't help being foolish :.
When gets under the skin OF things how on.
ferent is the comedian in real life when he is on
the stage private citizen! Although a comedian
is comedian born he isn't so the twenty-four hours
around.
Charles Battell Loomis the sadfaced humorst,
saws that man can be comedian only about two
hours out of the twenty-four. Anybody in the word
can be sad but only two or three persons in city
directory be comedians. A comedian rises 10
nobler heights than common folk And IL ism I al
ways fun rise to these noble heights!
Moere pointed out that most comedians are
comedians for relief from their natural state. For
two hours day they bubble over and the rest OF
the time they sink to the prosaic level OF the aver
age homo
There are always two persons in cast who at
tract attention on the street.-the leading man. and
the comedian. Whenever stage lnny man gets
a dinner invitation he hudders, for he KNOWS there
is an ordeal before him. Whenever a friend slaps
him on the back and says Say, old man. l want
you to take dinner with me tomorrow, friend OF
mine wants to meet YOU comic relief feels
sinking, sinking. He rapidly over series OF
excuses then failing to find one half plausible
pushes on smile and says with all the cordially
that he can generate "Al right, and thanks Then
around the corner himself he asks why it
in that moment of weakness that he gave way.
Expected to Be Funny Every Minute
n HE stage comedian has harder to hoe than
the magazine humorist, for the grease paint
is expected to say something funny every min
ute. He is to get rest only while the friend or
guest holding his side. The writer humorst is just
expected tell funny story now and then, and say
nothing clever thing during the evening that
the guest can repeat the following day. And it's
Oh! for the poor comedian
The old story of the clown of the sawdust ring
sending the crowd into uproars while his eyes
are filled with tears for his dying baby has much
truth in it. 1t is even with the comedian behind
the footlignts.
One time Ezra Kendall wa invited out to dinner
by recently introduced person. Ezra seated him
SELF waiter poised his pencil; the friend
leaned forward expectantly; the opportunity was
ripe for The Vinegar Buyer to begin his scntat-

you want to be funny, just mysef?"
He could put on a cloak of cleverness if he had
to.

Ezra heaved a sigh of contentment, and settled

The same correspondents say that
farmers have sold freely Of their
crop as fast as gathered but seem
inclined to hold the remainder for
what they believe will be higher
prices.
The crop Is nearly all out of the
fields, and by far the largest part OF
1t has been ginned. so that fair es-
innate can be arrived at as to what
the total crop will be. So far good
prices have prevailed. but IL the crop
is no larger than that indicated by
the T1mes-Democrat's estimate, there
IS good reason for believing that
prices will even climb higher. The
farmers are in good shape, magnifl-
cent food crop having been produced,
and there is no immediate need for
them disposing of the remnant OF
the crop remaining rnsold, but can
await favorable action OF the market.
