Another Way to Get Rich. -

Well honey, I see that another
big, juicy game Of graft has bios
somed out in connection with
the moving picture business.
The papers and magazines are
full Of advertisements Of
schools that want to teach
you to write "photo-plays." It
don't matter whether you know
your A B C's or not, you are the
very buddy they are looking for.
In fact, the more ignorant you
are, the better you will suit
them. They are fishing for suck
ers that amt got sense enough
to know a skin-game when they
see it. I do hope you amt that
big a fool, but if you are, then
of coarse you IL answer their ad.
Yes, honey, and then they'll
go on to tell you all about what
a great demand there is for pho
to-plays, and they are plum GER
tain that you are the greatest
photo-play writer that ever hv-
ed. The fact that you couldn t
spell "cat'' correctly don't make
any difference. They are quite
positive that you can turn out
at least sixty photo-plays a min
ute that will sell for at least a
million dollars apiece. One adj
vertisement reads: II want to
forever put stop to this fool
ish idea that it takes any special
, talent or education to write pho
to-plays. ;" Why, certain and
shore, honey. Anybody can do
that, but they need little
teaching Prof. Honeyfuggle
is the gent what came into this
: world to do the teaching. He is
$ SO kind-hearted that he will only
charge you about fifty dollars te
teach you how to write photo
plays that will make you rich
and famous in about fifteen min
! utes after you get started. Oh

without any hesitation, and the1

very popular entertainment, and

getting ready for it. Heretofore
people who have made up
their minds to take the BIZ
cloride route to heaven have
had to run the great risk
Of swallowing a headache tab
let by mistake. Such blunders
are very annoying, especially
under a Democratic administra-
ton when a feller is down-and-
out and in a hurry to get away
from it all. And therefore, as q
means of preventing such mis-
takes in the future, the. enter
prising drug manufacturers have
begun to put up the bichloride
tablets in the shape Of a coffin
That is good idea. Now a poor
despondent feller can pick out

any more danger Of swallowing
