by Captain Keyser :

Without the or of nostrums or of pills,
You tor your hospital our med•cine buy
And we noon your hospitality
What more is wanted if you're arksanll--
But, sh, old to-night, summer be denied
Instead of "Cole" we MUM, resort to Alms
And seen it 'monget our toren "chanty " anaallas-
In our concert you will find no stop
Yen "stop" one "C.ote on" whom will mostly drop
The bum of our effort. " amuse"
A "muse" himself. nay all the oinreexcues
If I have praised him more than quite enough.
But managers do dearly love a puff.
Oh, Gracious Goo iner ! there rye been and done it,
And put my foot in it 'en I've begun it !
I've left out one whole duel. first of plume
Praised first the " muses" and left out the "Graces,"

A " summary " of virtues good and bright

On one Food laugh I'm our, you may rely,

And Winter means I know in our cause
To win terrific • utburds of applause.

Captain Cole and the members of his K.K.K. troops
were pot to no email immoventence by the non•arrivel
of a most important part of their theatrieal costume.
The wig', which had been ordered of Clarkson, the
London perriquier, for the day before, were not sent at
all ; the only excuse being the foliowiog telegram—
Wigs mired the train ; impossible to get them there
intone." This telegram was h toded toUmptein Keys w,
on the stage, lost as he had finished reading the pro-
logue. Although at first slightly diseonoerted, he with
very little hesitation spoke the following impromptu

LA-Elitei and gentlemen. we've Just received
A telegram at which we are most grieved.
11l read this telegram with greaten pain,
From Clarkson, London -"yrigs have mimed the train.
Impossible to get them there In time."
Will you excuse, please, this m.st grievous crime
For crime it lc we'll do the hest we can.
We can't do more, or any other man.
