HE GETS AWAY WITH IT
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave

A company playing Hamlet" was
Second Gravedigger on account of the
illness of the second comedian OF the
company. The only actor available
was a variety performer. who bad 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

other underneath. the audience tit

waistcoat brought loud laugh. and
the third produced roar. The First
Gravedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciatiye
audience, and visions of good notices
in the papers and 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 ac-
customed to build laughs on lines and
business of other actora. saw his OPP
portunity and seized IT, AS fast as
the First Grayedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground, the
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old. with which 1t was thor
oughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian in
this scene. the new man went fur
ther. When the First Gravedigger
said to him, Go, get ehee to Waugh

Daniel Fahrenheit.

In view Of the abnormal weather
which we have had this summer we
think a tribute of respect should be
paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem-

hard to say which. Before his day sew
eral Attempts had been made to meas
ure the heat level, not the heat, by
tubes containing oil of spirits of wine,
but IL lay with bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
Gus Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained

Dear Dad
In vetoing the workman's com

court says: The right OF property
rests upon the common law and not
upon scientific speculations. not upon
commendable impulses of benevo-
lence or charity. nor yet upon the
dictates OF natural Justice" In states
where judges are subject TO recall by

heard OF human rights which do rest

The appointment OF the Negro
William H. Lewis. as assistant At
torney-general, is bitterly resented
by southern senators. This is the
highest social distinction ever given
TO Negro by political preferment
Confirmation will be opposed by
southerners who are constitutionally
opposed to any course OF action which
encourages the Negro TO aspire TO
social equality.
A better impression would have
been created by the Democratic ma
jority IL they had accepted the sug
gestion of Representative Jackson
OF Kansas, who offered an amend
ment to provide publicity for cam
paign expenses In case OF primary
campaigns for nominations. In the
south the only campaign OF import
ance Is the primary campaign which
determines who gets the Democratic
