Just as sure as steady labor
Brings reward to those who work;
Just SO sure we will in go
The Western base ball pennant jerk,
Do not think our star is waning
Cause Reddy cannot find the ball.
Next year we'll have an aggregation
That will swat it DER the wall.
Hengle may not stay to see it,
And Dricshel may have lightly fled;
But, as sure as death and taxes,
The Millers WILDE at the head.
And, meanwhile, the weary waiting
splendid discipline will be,
For our dear Sam AMI high proved Henry,
Who have some things to learn you see.
Let those laugh who will about it,
All their jeering is but sound;
Let all who will pretend to doubl it,
Our base ball team is gaining ground.

There was something suspicious about
the way Col. John L. West ''horSed
onto" the costumes of the Bellini Opera
company. The gallant colonel could
have secured his board bill by attaching
the personal baggage of Miss BelllM,
and the other colonel. HOughtOn. But
he preferred to send lawyer to attach
the scenery, costumes and music OF
1.-The Pretty Persian" There is some
thing behind all this, and Col. West has
partially given the snap away. But he
doesn't want to tell the whole plot yet,
because it all hinges upon one person.
If Clarence SaulSpaugh can be obtained
to play Nouzma Col. West intends to
put 1.-THE Pretty Persian" Cd at the
Panorama building under his own man
agement. Saulspaugh has been wired
at MankatO, and Col. West will know in
a week or two, when he makes up his
mind. The cast contemplated will be
star one, and will include the Watsons
as Saemilekem and Nadic, Bob Kalk-
lioff as the Prince, and Ed O'Brien as
Hool, Alb Boum the Hullah. The chorus
will be made up from the Lurline Boat
club. Nothing will beomitted from the
original score, and the ballet divertise-
ment will be the grandest exhibition Of
its kind ever seen in Minneapolis.
Miss Hattie Harvey and Miss Mae
Wofden are rivals. Miss Worden adj

course we are good friends socially, but
professionally you know we are
both skaters and have skated against
each other and, on the stage. Well,
the newspapers have always been very

WOrden described the costume. The
description cannot be reproduced here.
Suffice 1T to say it was longer than the
costume. ''One night Miss Harvey
came and embraced me. oh, Mae she
said, L had some friends in front last
night, and they went into ecstasies
about your form. They say it is divine,
but your costume is too naked. You
ought to wear skirt Hattie, you see,

attracted more attention than hers, al
though she wore more startling cos

dance, silk skirt Siashed up both sides,
and every time she whirled around, the
silk flew in all directions, and there

after, Fred Nixon. of the Tribune. you

to me, What's this about Hattie Har-
