zat SCISSORS All God's Chillun— It is said that comedy, at its highest, touches tragedy. This would appear to be true of a line appearing in a Negro comedy now being played in New York. In one of the scenes one comedian orders another to do something. “I don't gotta do that at all,” the other retorts. “I only gotta do two things in this life— stay dark and die."—Argonaut.

Why thus elect to mask her face Beneath that dainty web of lace? The tip of a small nose I see, And two red lips, set curiously Like twin-born cherrics on one stem, And yet she has netted even them. Her eyes, it’s plain, survey with ease Whatever to glance upon they please.
