The spirit answering, stayed its

THE SWEEN HAS QUOONED.

He was long-necked tragedian,
and at last he had obtained a speak
ing part. But it was only four words
he had t osay: THE queen has
swooned." Quite simple
1t was the first night and he had
invited his own particular pals to
come and cheer him.
On he came, and announced in a
high-pitched voice
"The swoon has queened"
A roar of laughter greeted his words
but he was not daunted and he made
another attempt.
THE sween has quooned"
This time the house rocked with
laughter and the voice of the stage
manager could be heard to say:
Come off, you fool"
But the ambitious one refused to
surrender and had to be dragged off.
Even as he reached the wings, how
ever, he screamed out.
