Tragedy Of the stage.

An elderly actor said in despair to
a theatrical agent one day:
lis there nothing you can do for
me? I've hung around your office, out
Of work, for eight months now"
The agent, as he polished his dia-
mond ring with his red silk handker-
chief, answered thoughtfully:
Look here; bring yourself up to
date. The turkey trot is all the go.
You train some animal or bird to do
the turkey trot with you, and I'll get
you on one of the circuits at a three
figure salary"
The old actor, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, thanked the agent
gratefully. He bought an ostrich from
retired circus man, and after lot
Of hard work he taught the bird to
turkey trot with him splendidly. Then
he reported himself to the agent
again.
But the agent, for all his promises,
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for while, then
every ether day, then every third day;
but there was nothing doing, and ut
last week went by without his ap-
pearance at the agents office.
Then the agent sent for him and
said:
"well. I've fixed you up at last
I've booked you for that turn of yours
at" But the old actor interrupted,
sadly:
TITS too late, now" he said.
"Too late? How Is it too late!"
said the agent, frowning.
1--WE had to; eat my partner" mutt
tered the old actor.

never had good nights rest after the
skin eruption first broke out till COM
menced using the Outicura Soap and.
Ointment. I had only used them q
few days before could see they were
beginning to heal. and the terrible
itching was gone.
Those that lived in the house at
the time know how I suffered, and
how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me. never take bath with
