ment. The musical part of the pro-
gram was allotted to Charley Wright,
who sang Killarney" in sweet, clear
voice. 1t is impossibe to speak of each
number of the program, except to say
that all the children performed their
parts exceedingly well. Little Miss

sing of pathetic story Mrs Blocher
and Miss Cora Streeter assisted the
children, and their readings were en-
Enthusiastically received by the audience.

Lack of tho Old Time vigor.

The old coal miner who allowed his wife to
Inrash him daily because lit pleased her and

;,anion to be very despondent, and be gave as
\ reason for his gloom that he noticed the
old woman's arm was failing" She could
not strike as hard as she used to. In like
manner the general public will regret to
notice that the vigorous abuse which one
paper heaps on another is not as virulent as
heretofore. For instance, here is a mild, in
offensive paragraph which a local contempor-
ary applies to the editor Of The Vicksburg
Herald. He probably intended to be abusive,
but the reader will notice with sorrow that
he pen hns lost its wonted vigor. He says of
the editor:
When he disappears beneath the vile green
scum where he belongs, and his warty and
diseased soul goes to its black home, all hell
will shudder with horror at the intrusion, and
the demons will draw aside their reeking gar
ments lest they be polluted by his infectious
touch-Detroit Free Press.
