COMEDY. hitched and led around and numerous attempts are made to mount the charger, but all are unsuccessful, as with ease the little donkey dismounts the rider. An officer accustomed to a spirited horse now makes the attempt, but also fails. Hitching Mr. Donkey back Into the cart, they lead him along, and soon they are met by several men with fireworks. Two large pin wheels are purchased and attached one each to the wheels of the cart. Then the new owner and wife now take their seats in the cart, and when all Is ready the fireworks are lighted and the cart starts off in haste. As the pace Is greater than was figured on, the occupants of the vehicle soon lose their seats and are left by the roadside. The donkey runs on and directly reports to his former master, who Is just reciting to his daughter the details of his advantageous sale. The series closes with a view of the three conspirators. Very amusing in every phase. G. D. 1617. DON'T PAY BENT — MOVE. Price, $34.44. Approximate Length, 287 feet. The exterior of a tenement house, with a hand cart in front, which is being loaded with furniture by an old lady, who is evidently in a hurry and is constantly keeping a watch-out as though expecting some one to appear on the scene. She congratulates herself that all is clear, and is about to move off, with the assistance of her husband, when the one whom she has dreaded to see comes on the scene in the shape of the janitress of the tenement, who demands her rent before allowing the woman to go. They try to push the .ianitress away and move off with the furniture, but the janitress hangs on, and finally climbs up on top of the furniture, using a broom with good effect to keep the owners of the furniture from dislodging her. After many ineffectual attempts to overturn the woman, they leave her in possession of the cart and go into a nearby coffee house, thinking to tire out the woman.

It is Saturday and everybody is seen hurrying along to their work. An office scene follows and we see the employer seated at his desk and several employes busily engaged doing the bidding of the former. At the hour of closing one of the employes is about to pass out when he is recalled and his employer invites him to spend the Sunday with him. At first, greatly embarrassed at this display of democracy, he fingers his hat and scrapes his feet nervously, and finally finds his tongue to stammer a reply, which is an acceptance of the kind offer. Receiving instructions as to transportation, etc., he bows himself out and hurries down the street, exuberant in spirits. The next morning, bright and early, sees our friend on his way, and taking out his directions as he approaches the portals of a delightfully pleasant looking villa he finds he is correct, signals 60
