Knows he is good.
Two seasons back he was playing an
engagement in San Francisco. The
patronage was not all that might have
been desired. Most nights our hero
and his supporting troupe played to
more empty seats than filed ones.
One morning in the middle of the
second week of poor business the star,
passing the theater, was overjoyed-
but not suHprisedAto behold a long
line of waiting persons in front of the
box Office. He stepged inside and
found the manager assisting the ticket
seller in caring for the rush.
''It has come at last!' he began. 1T
took time, but it would appear, from
the looks of that crowd outside the
lobby, that the citizens of this town
have finally walked up to the fact that
there is some real acting going on in
this house"
I'm sorry to tell you, Mr.. Blank"
explained the manager, ''but those
folks are not buying seats for your
show They're buying in advance for
Sir Johnston bes-Robertson, who
opens here next week"
The actor turned on his heel-he
turns beautifully on either heel-and
started to stalk away. The manager
sought to comfort him in his chagrin.
"YOu know, Mr.. Blank" he called
out, "a good many folks out here on
the coast regard Sir Johnston Forbes
Robertson as our greatest English
speaking actor"
The departing one paused, and when
he spoke his tones were icy.

The agonies Of snuff takers in the
absence of snuff was the subject of a
story by Dean Ramsay. A severe snow
storm had cut off all communication in
a highland district for some weeks, and
every snuffbox In one village was
empty with no hope of replenishment.
The minister in particular was so in
need of a pinch that study was out of
the question. At length the beadlc
rushed off and returned with an ex-
ultant cry of "Haer' and refilled box.
