Jack Cannot, tho lively comedian of the Tivoli Follies, tolls a story that has a bearing on his somewhat unusual surname. He was playing in a provincial town iu Australia, and on glancing over tho local .newspaper on tho morning after tho show he' found that tho critic had becomo a little ijiixed. Either he had mislaid his programme or had trusted too blindly to liis memory, as the paragraph referring to the comedian read:— "The brightest spirit of the company, and the one who led the laughs throughout the evening's entertainment, 'waff Mr. Jack Won't, tho English comedian." Mr. Cannot said he could not read any more, but ho thought a lot. A dock labourer was sentenced at Glasgow for stealing .£ll2, his old landlady's life savings, which'she hid in <i bed tick, and which he equaiidored in ten days at Rothesay. 1 An easy name to remember—Dosert Gold Tea.
