contain the pill of worth sugar-coated

personal magnetism. His costumes are
not nearly so grotesque as .some and his
humour is quieter thau most; often
merely suggested rather thau emphati-
cally deolaxed. He never laughs or
speaks very boisterously, The patriotic
song "He (The British Lion) Isn't Sleep-
ing Now" was written by Mr. Fax him-
self and is so new that it has tot been
issued from the publishing house yet.
Wo hope not to be accused of intemper-
ate speeoh when we say that this song,

splendid. Every line was attended by a

approval was loud at the end of each
