Judge Stout, this and succeeding

"Stint" and "Stunt,"

Stint is good word as a noun. AS
a verb it means something not quite
so pleasing. Do not confound 1t with
stunt, however. A stunt is something
quite useless. 1t is the horse-play OF
the mountebank, and has nothing in
common with honest, pTpductive labor.
A stint is the warning to the wise that
something demands to be accom-.
plished; a goad to the laggard that
time is on the wing.-Atlantic.

will give the play exactly as presented
in New York and London at the Paris

The Auto that Oughto But
WOULDN'T. t. is the title Of a comedy
bit which will be introduced during the
