French plays at the Gayety came to an end GU
Saturday, with performances both IN the morn
ine and evening, and she has been succeeded By
the Paris Vaudeville company, with ''Les Process
Veauradieux.'
An enthusiastic play-goer who bet Mr.
Thorne that t'Our Boys" would run 900 nights
is likely to win his wager. The comedy is now
on it's way to the 900th night, md Messrs.
james and Thorne have resolved to run it up to
the 1,o00th.
Laferriere, the famous French actor, has just
died. HI was born ut Ale~conin 1906, and made
his debut with Duprez in 1881 at the Theatre
Francais In the chorus OF t. Athalie." But he
soon deserted music for the drama, making his
first success in !. .Calas - at the Amblgu, and
then in - S1arino Fatiero " ut The Portc-Salnt-
Martin. After season i'll Russia, where he cx-
cited the admiration OF the Gar and was over
whclmctl with presents, he returned to France
In 1887 and became the favorite of the Gate,
where he created many great characters. For
many years since then he has continued to make
friends III various Parlslau and provincial the
Itres.

FAR BELLS At SEA.
Alonr the f}imp1;n1 s7nyc.

Along the dimpling Wnvc,
Miles Of blue w,ste beneath sapphire sky.
Within whose tempted dome few cloudlct. lie.
Dn<snv nnd SNOW like; when gay dul;hin~ lave
Their golden br,Iliance. and no sound Is heard
but the occasional fight OF some a-blrt,
And the snip, lying motlonfcss. though fec,
Seems white, ssiI-winged messenger to be-
Slow, tender rhythm moves the trembling
breeze,
Perhaps an .Folien harp among the trees,
Faint murmur scndeth forth, and dies away
Into the stiffness OF perfect day.
All, list! the chime OF silver bells
Floats frnm the shore, w1c1e many thougEf

In the nnhecdine car, and soou Is lost.
q busy ones, by countless life-caEcs crossed,
Yc know not that the chime Of iron tongue
Ia silver mnstc, far away, sweet sung!
Te knew not how the chime drifts out to scu,
Bearing tide Of golden memory.

FAREWELL.

Slowly DER the brec<cs waving,
to:,ss the sad, sad parting kne1f,
Bringing to our hearts the craving
Ncel to speak the word Farewell.
FFiendship'A lies must now be broken,
We must part from childnnod'* friends,
And the last - Good bv'+ he spoken,
Ere the scene before uy ends.
Short the years we've been together.
Yet were they with pleasure fraught;
But to-day the link We sever,
Having reached the guai we sought.
Sad it IL tn think that ever,
Through the futarc years OF life,
Space our intercourse must sever
Singly we must pruve the strife.
O the parting hour is nearing,
We must breathe the s:ld Farewell,
Lenvlng friend- the most cndearin.,
When to meet We cannot tell.
Happy days we've spent together
They Will ne'er forgotten ne;
Though we part, and part forever,
will always think OF ye.
