'Maytime" Coming to the
Majestic Election Day

While a fat man generally comes in
for more than his share of laughs,
Otis Sheridan, the leading comedian
in the Messrs. Shubert's production
of "Maytime," which will be the at
traction at the Majestic next Tuesday
is a living example of the popularity
of a person of the opposite stature.
Mr.. Sheridan is tall, angular, and a
trife inclined to be thin. While no at
Tempt is being made to discount the
value of a fat comedian, Mr.. Sheridan
simply wants to set forth the fact that
3 thin man can be just as popular.
When the comedian first took up
sage work his friends tried to dis
courage him..
WHO ever heard of a thin come
hian?" m of his friends asked.
you've got to be fat if you want
people to laugh at you"
Nonsense" said Mr.. Sheridan.
There are lots of thin comedians,
And. anyhow. I don't want people
laughing at me I want them to
laugh with me. There is a big diff
ference in the way people laugh"

Being reduced to no sugar at all, our
better half sailed forth yesterday to
see what could be done to relieve the
situation.
At the store where we usually trade
the grocer asked her if she wished to
buy anything else beside sugar.
She replied that she did not, as we
were well supplied with other grocer
les for the time being.
Il cannot sell you any sugar unless
you buy something else" he said.
"Why not, we trade here regularly.
Rules"
Whose rules?" Whereat he be-
came communicative.
So she told him that we were one
of the few families who will not be
sand-bagged, black-jacked or what you
will, in that fashion.
We would suggest that some of our
neighbors tighten their belts and join
the Rising Order of Turning Worms,
with US.
A quiet boycott will often do more
than a flare of righteous wrath.
Who said we should buy certain
amount of groceries in order to get a
pound of sugar?-"Observato Col

Miss Reid had been ailing for only a

and again on Tuesday, when evident

upon on Tuesday. She was taken to

incident of her singing at church that
she always chose hymn, and the last
hymn she sang was "One Sweetly Sol

than ever I've been before" appear,
and that day she remarked to her
mother upon the suggestiveness of
the sentiment upon the lives of all of
us. Miss Reid was twenty-five. or
would have been, Thanksgiving Day.
She was born in Hoboken, where the
family lived for many years. One OF
the causes of her rapid sinking was
the loss of much blood in the opera
ton, which acted adversely upon the
heart. She was unafraid of the oper-
alton, and as her father stood across
the area way at the hospital, he could
see her as the surgeons started to ad-
minister the anaesthetic, and she, too,
caught his eye, and waved her hand
from the operating table, threw him
kiss. and was soon unconscious.
The funeral took place last Saturday
afternoon at the home OF the parents,
Palisade, in Columbia avenue. There
was large gathering of friends and
masses of beautiful floral offerings.
Miss Reid was member of the Union
Church of Palisade, was regular at

of remarkable musical gifts, and most
gentle and amiable and lovable in dis

character was the great beauty of her
