IN SEPTEMBER.

Morpinss frfsty grow, and cold,
Brown the grass on HID and void;
Crows are es.giHs shaTp'and clear
Where the rustling corn grows seSv
Mastering lccks OF blackbirds call;
Herr and there a few leaves fall:
In the meadows larks sing sweet,
Chirps the cricket at our feet,-
In September.
Moons are sunny, warm and still;
A golden haze o'erhangs the hill,
Amber snHshine's on the floor
Just within the open door;
Still the crickets call and creak-
Never found, though long we seek
Oft comes faint report Of gun;
Busy lies buzz in the sun
In September.
Eye.,ings chilly are, and damp,
Essgiy lighted is the lamp;
Fire burns and kettle sings,
Smoke ascends in thin blue rings
On the rug the children lie;
in the west the soft lights die;
From the elms a robins song
Rings ort sweetly, fingers long
in September.

Sousa and Taber's bright and tuneful
comic opera, "The Queen of Hearts; or,

presentation at Albaugh's Grand Opera
House on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-

12, 10 and IA, under the immediate drec-
lion Of the composer, Mr.. John Philip
Sousa. The opera will be produced with
strong and carefully-selected professional
cast, and with chorus of fresh young
voices drawn from the ranks of the Wash
iDgton operate Association. Probably
nothing more thoroughly original and clever
In construction and plot, or more melodi-
GUS and catchy In music, has ever been pre-
sented to Washington audience, and after
eight weeks Of careful rehearsal those who
have been fortunate enough to hear its
numbers are enthusiastic In declaring that
"The Queen Of Hearts" will at once score
q pronounced and decided success. The
strong local character given to the opera
by the selection Of many ladies and gen.
t!emen to take part in 1t who are promi-
nent In social circles, has resulted In a large
advance sale. Reserved seats for either
performance may be secured at Ellis &
