AN OPEN SECRET.
MARY A. LAraBURY.

wAnemonel Anemone!
Who cleft your pretty leaves in three,
And grouped them round your little feet
In three again? Who left the sve et,
Faint breath Of spring upon your lips,
Her flush upon your petal tips?
Who brings you ON this April day
From far Off sunland, beams Of May,
And warns the shivering baby shoots
That hide among your tender roots?
And, when the north wind came last week,
Who deity pierced his puffy cheek,
And turned the flying frost he blew
Across the hills to balmy dew?
And whO?" She shook her dainty head
Cor did the wind pass by?) and said:
ssThe 'frail AnemoDe' has friends"
%'And who?r-But there the story ends.

COUSIN WILL.
BY PHILIP MORSE.

j strolled last night in musing mood,
Rejecting on my lonely state;
Till. weaFied out at last, paused
And leaned upon garden gate.
The old moons mellow radiance hung
In golden mists among the trees;
Fa mt odors, borne from distant flowers,
Ebbed idly on the evening breeze.
AS thus stood, absorbed in thought,
/ pressed against the gate too hard,
1t opened with sudden jerk
/ found myself within the yard.
A form came gliding down the walk
Soft arms embraced me, as, perplexed,
/ stood one blissful moment, while
A sweet voice soothed my ear; the next
1t rose into a shrek, then sobbed:
go sir, how could you keep so still!
When all the time / know you knew
/ thought you were my cousin WILL"
These st lrs are moons, or rather months;
Just five have fitted since that night,
And two of these have calmly shone
Upon our welded life. IL quite
Surprises me to think of IL.
And she Is Queeniy, tall and fair,
With lustrous eyes, and such a wealth
Orwell, we call it auburn hair.
.
$50 late?" I've just come from the club;
My wife sits silent, but a light,
Unseen before, turks in her eye.
Once more l muse on that calm night
When first she met me at the gate,
Aid wonder, while her eyes flame still,
IL ever l, in days to come,
Shall wish il had been Cousin VIII.

any more, and Vegetine has cured me; and
do feel to thank God all the time that there is
so good a medicine as Vegetine, and / also

Criminal Arrests.

Last Friday our community was thrown
into considerable excitement over the arrest
of the somew hat notorious character named
lngraham, a nominal resident of the 5th
ward, suspected of being the perpetrator of
the robbery 1T Nell's house in The town of
Emmett the particulars of which are pub
ished elsewhere. Ingr aham was taken be-
tore Justice Kube, of the 9Th ward and
bound over in the sum Of $4,000 for his APP
pearance at the next term of court. Ingra-
ham had another warrant served on HIM on
a charge of making an attempt to lntimidate
and lob at the residence of Mr. Rehan, IN
the Sd ward, a few nights previous to the
Nell affair. Behan recognized Ingraham as
the man who entered his premises, and
Justice Ambrose, before whom Ingraham
was taken on the Behan charge held him
to bail in the sum of $4,000 for this offence
Tie Nell robbery having occurred in Dodge
county, and the attempted robbery at Be-
hans, in Jefferson county, explains why the
prisoner had two Justices to look after him,
one in each county. OF course Ingraham
could not obtain any such bail, and was
lodged in the Dodge county Jail at juneau
10 await trial. Ingraham is a lawless cha.
racter, and SEINE months ago had the oppor-
unity presented him Of getting away from
here or go to Jail, and he chose the latter
alternative. No one outside of immediate
companions were aware of his being back
here until his arrest Friday. To add 10 the
excitement produced in this case Ingrahams
wife, or at least the woman be lives with,
known in the community as sMrs Brandt
that being her first husbands name, was
arrested Saturday morning to answer the
charge of stealing cow from d. Hurley in
the town of Emmett some months ago and
selling the animal at Oconomowoc Justice
Knbe bound Mrs Brandt over for trial IN
the sum of 5000 bail, which she obtained,
and is now released. The evidence.is said
1t will be proved that Ingraham shared
with her III this transaction, assisting her to
drive the COW off, etc. Both Ingraham and
his putative wife are residents Of the 9Th
ward. Mrs Brandt has lived here some
years, but Ingraham only few years, being
formerly from Kentucky.

Our BOardinG House.

The Leonard Grover Comedy Combina-
ton, Jas. Rial, manager, appearslthis {Wed-
nesday) evening at Turner Hall in the sue
cessful and highly popular comedy of Our
Boarding House. This being the sole and
on ly company that has a right to play the
piece, our admirers of the drama will not
fail to emprace the opportunity of seeing
Our Boarding House. The Leonard Grover
Combination visited Milwaukee last week
and the Sentinel Of the 18th inst thus speaks
Of the presentation of Our Boarding House
in that city:
One Of the largest audiences of the season
filled the Opera House last evening to en-
10Y the production of Leonard Growers
great hit of 'sOur Boarding House." And
it is great hit. No piece ever brought out
develops half the laughter melted by this
play. 1t is heavy in no single part, and
from its constant surprises in amusing stu
atoms gives the audience no time and no
inclination to critcse it. We do not re-
member play which which presents such
q Dickensy set OF characters, every one of
which might serve as a specially for a first
class Comedian. There is great deal of
exaggeration ia the situations but not more
tina n is warranted for stage purposes. These
situations show dramatic genius and fami-
larity with the possibilities of the stage,
which have been used to the utmost. 1t
was dramatic inspiration that led the au-
thor to select boarding house for his pur~
poses, and now that we have it, one is sur
prised that no author ever before availed
himself fully OF the variety of characters Of
fered by such an institution and especially
a Chicago boarding house The most is
made OF the inspiration acre and boarding
house scenes crowd upon the stage so rapid
lY as to keep the observer constantly alb
sorbed.
The characters of'' Gillypod," Elevator"
sShouter' and "Mrs. Colville" are enough
to establish the reputation of Mr. Grover as
keen observer. and talented portrait paint
er.
Much praise, of course, is due to the ex-
cellent company which presents the piece
Mr. Lngham, Mr. Melville, Mr.. Little and
Miss Waugh sustain their difficult parts in
the most successful manner; we mention
| these because the style of character they
| assume are less familiar on the stage than
the others, which are also admirably car
| ried, especially those Of Miss Roberts, Miss
| Granger, Miss Graham. and others. We
regard the play as the most entertaining
and jolly ever produced here and one which
will add much to the current gossip of the
time in its pictures of boarding house life
| and character.
