trusted there is much enjoyment in store
for the Washington public in lie Clair and

played at llerzog's next week. Mr.. lie
Clair's female impersonatlons are spoken
of very highly. lie assumes five different
female roles during the evening" imperson-
ating as many charming women with whom
his Uncle Ben, an old Yankee farmer, sue
cessively falls in love. lie Clair's makeup
is so excellent that n number of admirers
have sent him costly presents, thinking
him to be a woman.

Far out upon the desert sands,
Where feyered suns lay blist'rng hands,
Where, If tree had e'er dared grow,
Twas turned to ashes long ago,
A wanderer trod the burning way,
Too hot TO curse, too hot TO pray.
Despair had seized him, dull and dead,
For Heaven gave nought but blazing red
Then far beyond, banner shone,
Like some oasis all alone,
He saw 1t rising from the plain,
And strove to read It, not In vain;

A sailor escorting his lady to church
informed her that her bonnet had a
''list to port" and fearing she would
lose the article, he suggested that she
should "clew up her topsail." By the
time they arrived at church, she had
'luffed, ""tacked," SAILED before the
wind" and "drifted to starboard" in
way to puzzle anything but full
rugged man-c'war.
Another sailor had occasion one
day to mount q Mexican donkey OF
most irascible temper. and finding it
impossible to guide the beast, Engaged
an Indian boy to seize the animal
tail as q guiding and propelling power.
In this unique manner the man of the
sea was navigating, when he happened
to encounter the captain OF the ship
to which he belonged.
Hello, Weaver!" exclaimed the
officer. "Whither bound?"
Weaver drew up, touched his tar
paulin, and replied, "Faith, captainl
that's jist wat I'm wantin' ter find

then makes q lurch to windward.
Sure I have nayther barometer nor
