them that, although these fruits were

nothing else all his life. he broke open
the tender skin and removed the soft
interior contents. After this he hand

to both that at the bottom of each
husk or envelope there still remained
some portion of edible contents which.

shown how the thing was done; even

Poster advertising on boardings in
England are often bad enough, and the
boards stuck up in fields by our rail

the apotheosis Of the blatant in adver-

tons between, say, Antwerp and Ma

burg, is plastered over with lettering

star, has won new laurels as panto-

a robbery planned by his adversary
and later an attempt is made to kill
him. which nearly succeeds.

Surprised the Hobo.

John E. Brennan, the famous kalem
comedian, played a joke upon a hobo
while '"The Winking Zulu" was being
produced, which scared the knight OF
the dusty road out of four years
growth.
The painting had been completed
and Brennan, on his way from the
studio one evening, almost stumbled
across the body of a hobo lying In
tox1cated. An idea occurred to the
comedian. He impaired 1t to some OF
the attaches of the studio, with the re-
suit that the tramp was carried into
the building and placed in front OF the
Winking Zulu.
Presently the hobo revived. HIS
eyes wandered about the building
confusedly and rested upon the
painting. 1t winked at him. Star
tied, tho tramp sat up. The Zulu
winked again. With frightened
roar, the man burst through the
door. Brennan vows that the hobo
did the next mile in less than a
minute
