We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
FAMOUS PLAYERS
No wonder Marguerite Clark is such a winsome little fairy. This is about as much of a meal as she ever eats. A cup of tea and a thin bread and butter sandwich is a heavy meal for her, and half the time when she is working she touches no food at all until the day is over. Miss Clark says everybody eats too much. She
would take all her meals al fresco, if she could.
A Reg'Jar Feller
William Farnum has a friend who also wears the Christian name of William. This second William has a little heir of three, named Frederick. When Frederick's third birthday arrived, it was decided that the youth discard petticoats for a grown-up costume of knickerbockers. His mother, in honor of the memorable occasion, served a great cake and led the infant to the seat of grace in the dining-room.
"Ah," she exclaimed, "now you are a little man!"
Frederick drew himself up proudly and asked his mother, in a stage whisper,
"Can I call pa Bill now?"
Ripp — What did you think of the comedy? Rapp — It lacked "flashes" of wit.
Worn Out
An East Side drama was being screened. A woman was busy putting a patch in a pair of trousers; a man was laying off on a sofa.
"Mamma," said a little girl, "do those pants belong to the man?"
"Yes," she answered. "I suppose he wears those while he is sitting down, waiting for something to turn up."
