lE GETS AWAY WITH d !
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger In Hamlet and Steals Al
the Laughs. TN

A company playing Hamlet" Was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account OF tho
illness OF the second comedian OF the
company. The only actor available
was variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re-
spect for the traditions OF the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
comedy part, and he knew that hO
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 a roar. The First
Gravedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
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 actors, saw his OPP
portunity and seized 1t. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger 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
Their. When the First GravediggeT
said to him, go, get thee to Yaugh-
an; fetch me stoup Of liquor" ito

"stinsn and "Stunt ;.

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

TRIAL OVER DOG
BRINGS ON FIGHTS
Two Attorneys Mix, Then
Two Women Declare War
and Start Trouble.

| Heated arguments in Judge AbbOtt's
court this morning almost resulted in
a hand-to-hand fight between two
young attorneys of this city.
I Attorney Byram Robbins. engaged
by the plaintiff in the dog case
which started yesterday morning and
Attorney Ralph Husson, counsel for
the defense We're the principals The
hearing was on a suit for replevin
filed by Mrs. Leota Guinan, formerly
of this city. now of Detroit, against
Edward Reniker, a negro barber on
South Sixth street. 1t was alleged that
Reniker had Mrs. Guinan's dog, in his
possession.
! During the final argument Attorney
Husson declared that Mrs. Guinan was
a thief and that MIR. Robbins was no
better" This somewhat sensational
and startling statement naturally arou-
sed the ire of the attorney for the
plaintiff and jumping eXcitedly to his
feet, he rushed at Husson exclaiming,
Your a liar" Constable Clay,
, present and jumped between the two
men, who glared at each other like
Gagged lions. Husson stood his ground
and Robbins made attempts to push
Clay aside. After a short time order
was resumed and the hearing of the
case proceeded.
In summarizing his evidence Attor-
ney Robbins said some of the testi-
mony of the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton as 'damnable lies" The final ar
guments of both attorneys were filled
with considerable acrimony. From
start to finish the hearing was spicy"
| When heterogeneous were concluded
Judge Abbott stated that he would an
nounce his decision in the case next
Tuesday.
Another tilt" between Mrs. Guinan
and Miss Rose Reinker, daughter of
the defendant was frustrated by the
presence of Constable Clay and Pa
trolman Nogelsong on South Sixth
street this morning
Mrs. Guinan accompanied by Con-
stable Clay left the court room to get
the dog and re.urne with it to court

toward Miss Reniker she grabbed the
poodle. The constable stepped between
the woman and Patrolman Nogelsoing
who was a short distance away came
up and they proceeded to the court
room where Rex was introduced as
evidence
Toward the latter part of the hear
ing Mrs. Fannie Hunter, a negress
threatened TO strike Mrs Guinan This
trouble added to the already turbulent
conditions existing in the court room
and for a short time il seemed as il
there would be "one grand fight" free
for all. Mrs. Hunter was testifying
another woman ran by her house at
breakneck speed. She stopped the two
women, she said. and asked the trou-

ed that they were running after a
dog. Mrs. Guinan took exception to
this and said she never conversed
with negroes. After the trial Husson
apologized to Robbins, who accepted

distinction when he was ordered by

to listen to sermons. Instead. he
will probably go to the Dayton

came intoxicated Friday and was
landed In the city calaboose. Upon
his appearance a few days ago he
was given suspended workhouse
sentence pending good behavior.
Some advanced the thought that
Crowell would rather be in the
