Snail Famine Alarming.

France Is threatened with a snail
famine. To the average American
such a famine would not mean much,
but in France 1t means that during the
autumn and coming winter thousands
of humble families will be deprived OF
their most toothsome dishes, which in
the ordinary way they would partake
of at least once or twice a week. The
tropical summer has dried up all the
vegetation. and as a consequence the
snails have found nothing to eat. and
they. too, have dri d up in their shells
and died Outside France few people
realize the magnitude OF the snail
producing business In the wine dis
! tricts they are tended and grown with
as much care as oysters, and daily
supplies are forwarded to the central
markets in Paris. for the menu OF any
ordinary restaurant is incompetent
without snails.

He GETS AWAY WITH IT
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger In Hamlet and Steals All
the Laughs.

A company playing Hamlet" was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account Of the
illness of the second comedian OF the
company. The only actor available
was a variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re-
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
a comedy part, and he knew that he
could get away with it."
When the First Gravedigger threw
OF the first waistcoat. revealing an
other underneath, the audience tit
tered. The removal Of the second
waistcoat brought a loud laugh, and
the third produced roar. The First
Gravedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience, and visions of good notices
in the papers and a possible increase
in salary began to loom up before his
eyes. AS he threw OF the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around
and the cause Of the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger, being &C
customed to build laughs on lines and
business Of other actors. saw his op
portunity and seized 1t. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground, the
variety comedian would pick them VI
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old. with which it was thor
oughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian ir
this scene. the new man went fur
ther. When the First GravediggeI
said to him, GO. get thee to Waugh

Exact Copy Of Wrapper
When Friendship Counts.

The doors of the detormed man are
always locked, and the key is on the
outside. He may have treasures Of
charm inside, but they will never be
revealed unless the person outside CO.
operates with him in unlocking the
door. A friend becomes, to a much
greater degree than with the ordinary
man, the indispensable means of dis
covering ones own personality. One
only exists, so to speak, with friends,
1t is easy to see how hopelessly such
sensitiveness incapacitates a man
for business, professional or social
life, where the hasty and superficial
impression is everything, and disas-
ter is the fate of the man who has
not all the treasures Of his personal
