Star. THE funny man who saun-

hat and stick and says such bright
things. with ace SO grave. and with
such evident surprise when the audi
nee shrieks with laughter. is sup
posed to be the best Judge in tho
country OF what the people want, He
knows about II all-ho knows-he
knows.
The funny men are so sure they
know that frequently they all use
the same Jokes. This shows the
striking uniformity of vaudeville
opinion and is a sufficient answer TO
any critic who might question the
Judgment OF the funny men. When n
hundred OF those entertainers saun-
ter out simultaneously on a hundred
stages in a hundred cities and make
the Same extemporaneous remark.

Fairy Fuel.

From the drcary window turn.
Here is fairy wood to burn!
Fairy fuel stored away
For n cherries winter day.
Pile the kindling. ligh the fire.
Watch the flames leap high and
higher
Stored heat OF summer moons,
Magic glow of mystic moons,
Stars that shine in summer skies.
Beams from tender lover eyes;
Prismed light in drops of dew,
Smiles that CLEAN through tear drops
too
Memories OF life and light
Come to warm your heart tonight.
Lot the frost and snow conspire.
Let the wind rise high and higher.
From the dreary window turn,
Here Is fairy wood TO burn.

easier TENS in meeting their national debt of some
$22, 900, 100000, half of which is represented by war
