Chicago Opera House,

On Monday, November IL, the Nc
Caull Opera company began a brief
engagement at the Chicago opera
house. This will be the only engage
ment played in Chicago during the
present season by this the strongest
comic opera organization in America
The opening opera is "The Lady or
the Tiger" The book is by Sydney
Rosenfeldt, and is founded on Frank
Stockton's well-known story of that
name. The opera had an extended
and most successful run in New York
city, also in Philadelphia and the
other places where it has been given.
According to the New York papers,
the book is one of the best that this
country has yet seen In the line of
comic opera, and the music Is de-
scribed as melodic and catching. Fol-
lowing "The Lady or the Tiger" will
be the great revival of "Boccaccio," in
which Miss Laura Moore, formerly of
the National Opera company, will
make her Chicago debut.

ooh gorgeous poppy. of rich renown,
Show u s the way to sleepy Town.
BABY must go-hes tired of play;
But yet think we have missed the way"
Then TRANQUILITY up and down
Waved the flower Of rich rcnown,
And softly it seemed to say,
This way-this way-this way
Is the way to Sleepy Town"
40 ripening wheat, all golden brown,
Show us the way TO sleepy Town;
How shall we dnd where the starlight CLEANS,
Onthe City of sleep in the Land OF Dreams?'
Then soothIngly up and down
Went the wheat all golden brown,
And whispering, seemed to say,
This way-this way-this way
Is the way to Sleepy Town"
so little one, with the curly crown,
Have you learned the way to sleepy Town,
Where softest music and softest light,
And sweetest blossoms enchaut the nights"
Then drowslly up and down
Went the beautiful curly crown,
While the tired eyes seemed to say,
"Thls way-this way-this way
Is the way to Sleepy Town"

What q Blind Man Saw.
RxcAAn@a.


Many readers will remember tho
pathetic story Of n mother afflicted
with some disease Of the eyea who was
told by the oculist that she would
probably lose her eyesight soon and
suddenly. From that time until total
blindness came on, she spent most Of
her time studying tho faces Of her
Children, thus fixing them forever In
her memory. Only = degree less touch
ing 10 the following account from the
New York Itmes OF blind veteran
whose last look OF tho outer world
made n permanent picture In hls mind
The other day an old man with sil-
very hair was led into the cyclorama
Of Gettysburg by bright faced little
miss in iauhty gypsy hat and dress,
and sat pown while abe described TO
him the features of the picture In do.
tail, occasionally asking her q ques-
ton, or shaking his head slowly ~ II
In doubt OF the accuracy Of her account.
She had described to him In her own
way the onrush of Pickctts men, and
the hand TO. hand conflict ct the stono
fence where the pennsy ivanians met
the charge OF the southerncrs, whom
he asked, "But where's tho artillery
Magg"
"Oh, you mean the big guns They're
over here ON tho hill IN row."
IAN In row." he asked.
"yes," she replied.
He shook his head. "Look round"
said he. "Thero must be some more
that are not In line"
"Ics," sho said. "There are some
down here, but they are all upset and
seem 20 he broken. think they arc
burstcd."
''ls that where the men are coming
over the stone WALTZ"
Eyes, grandpa"
"ls there a grove OF trccsf''
"Yes, grandpa. II seems to be full
of men, but the smoke Is 20 thick you
cannot see Them"
"Oh, | can zee them I" he cried.
1t was then noticed by several peo-
pie who were listening to him that he
was blind. The little girl said, "Oh,
no, grandpa, you can't 500 thom!"
ayes, can" no answered. ~ can
sec them very well, and the broken
cannon, too"
The child looked at him with inno-
cent surprise as she said, "YOu are Jok-
ing now"
"No, my DEAR" replied the old man,
"No. That was the last thing | ever
saw. There was . caisson exploded
there just this side OF that fence, and
that was the last terrible picture I
ever saw, and l have never got the
picture OF II out OF my head"
More than one poet, since Coleridge,
has asserted that "foldcd eyes" sce
more than open ones. IL seems GER
tain, at least, that blinded eyes have
an indelible vision OF the scene they
saw when they lost the light forever.

up stairs, hastily removed all traces of
the tomato fight, put on Q nice dress,
fixed mp her hair 9 bit, pinned .
brooch in place, slipped on an assort-
ment Of rings, gave her flushed face a
few dashes of powder, took back
ward glance at the mirror to see that
the drapery hung all right and then
came down to the parlor with the
stately air of lady OF infinite leisure
rather than the manner of an over
worried amateur farmers wife
She approached her visitor with
that air of nom committal reserve that
may In a moment brighten into q
genial welcome or freeze into frigid
dismissal, which ladies seem to know
how to assume towards those about
whom there Is doubt as to the desira-
bility of further acquaintance.
The visitor rose with pleasant
smile, and said;
81 am SO pleased to meet you, bat I
am afraid have come at an inappro.
pirate time"
"Oh, not at all" was the uncandid
reply.
al was talking about literature with
Mrs. Blank the other day, and she
said that you were very fond OF read
ing"
eyes, am, but / am sorry to say
that at this season of the year it Is
hard to get much time for reading"
1t was certainly most inappropri-
ate time for the discussion of litera-
ture. Only too plainly was in the air
the scent of burning tomatoes, and the
mistress was certain that the maid
would pour the red-hot mixture into
an ice cold glass jar and split it into q
thousand fragments.
"That's just it," resumed the visitor,
sirily. off a person desires to read
one must take it in sections. Now
am selling"-here she whipped out
from under her cloak large thin pa
per- covered "installment"-" most
remarkable work, The Pictorial His
tory OF Spain,' superbly illustrated
complete in thirty six parts-one part
month, or two, or four, just as you
choose-st twenty-five cents a part.
Agents usually sell such art numbers
at fifty cents or one dollar each but
this with complete"-etc., etc.
l am sure that If an indignant look
could have obliterated a book agent
that voluble lady would not still be
selling this valuable literary produce
ton. But it shows the heroic bravery
of the lady agent. / wouldn't have
been in her place for farm.
And yeti could hardly believe it,
because, you see, Pve been married a
great many years-nothing terrible
happened. The lady of the house
merely said that when she bought a
book she was in the habit of going to
bookstore and selecting for herself
Then she went back to the final con-
quest of the luscious Detroit
Free Press.
