OF trinmphal success new features
have been added, new specialties in
troduced and the company strengthened
in many ways. The very first scene
SHOWS the audience the superiority of
the play and people and the tun COL
tinues fast and furious to the finish.
No description of the play could do II
justice or give d reader an idea of the
c,everness Of its lines, its songs, is
dances, or many surprises in stage ou
siness, The mechanical device (the
moving elevatOr) is worthv of special
mention. As piece of stage mechanic
ism it is wonderfully real and the fun
derived from it is vast. The company
is strong in lis comedy features and in
a company Of this kind, making the
claims it does, as laugh producer, this
is the especial point to have strength.

The Doctor Was Too Old,

A large part of DR.. Jenkins custom was
from colored people, who would come from
ten miles around to get some of his famous
tonics. A marked popularity of the plan
tation negro is that he is apt to take offense
at any remark couched in words he does
not understand. If anything is said be-
yond the scope of his narrow vocabulary it
must necessarily be wrong and offensive.
DR.. Jenkins was standing in the doorway
one day when an old colored woman came
along with basket of tomatoes.
Want some tomatuses, Dawk Jenkins"
don't know, auntie. I'd like few,
but haven't any change with me. If you
want to leave me dozen or so Pll COM
pound you cocktail"
The old woman set her basket down
with thump, thrust her arms akimbo,
Strengthened her back, and glared indig-
nantly at the benevolent old gentleman.
" Dawk Jenkins, eff you want fer trus',
FL trus', but | do wan no blackguard
tawk FUN OF man lax you is Washing

An Economical View.

They were eating ice cream and she was
telling him with considerable asperity that
some young man of their acquaintance was
recentlymarried. He was evidently her
husband and hard of hearing, so the en-
tire restaurant had the benefit of the COM
munication. "He has only 81 200 year"
she said, her voice on tip-toe, "and he
bought two diamond rings, one for her and
the other just like it for himself" The
husband strained his ears and at the same
time ate his cream, but made no answer.
"He bought four suits OF clothes to get
married in" This seemed to strike the
listener as rather improbable. ale
couldn't wear them all at once, could
hep he inquired. Gle gave 500 for
his wedding suit" continued the
wife; ''just think of it And he never can
wear it but once" Yes, he can" said
the husband, triumphantly; che can be
buried in it," This economical view re-
duced the party to silence as frozen as
the cream.-Detroit Free Press.

A LITTLE WOMAN.

She stood at the bar of justice,
A creature wan and wild,
| form too small for a woman,
In feature too old for child
For look so worn and pathetic
Was stamped on her pale young face,
II seemed long years of suffering
Must have left that silent trace.
"Your name" said the Judge, as he eyed he
With kindly look, yet keen.
Is?S' Mary Mcguire, If you please, sir"
well. Mary" and then from a paper
He slowly and graveiy read
"Yon are charged here-I am sorry to say
With stealing three leaves of bread.
"You look not like an offender,
And hope that you can show
Are you guilty of this or nor
A passionate burst of weeping
Was at first her sole reply,
But she dried her tears in q moment
And looked in the Judges eye.
q will tell you how it vas, sir;
My father and mothe, re dead.
And my little brothers aud sisters
Were hungry and asked for bread.
At first / earned ii for them
By working hard all day,
But somehow the times were hard, sir,
And the work all fell away.
az could get no more employment;
The weather was bitter cold;
The young ones cried and shivered-
Little Johpnie's but four years old
So what was to do. sir?
/ an guilty, but do not condemn,
I took, oh, was il stealing?
The bread to give to them"
Every man in the Courtroom,
Gray beard and thoughtless youth,
Knew, as he looked upon her,
That the prisoner sp9ke the truth.
Out from their pockets came kerchiefs
Out from their eyes sprung tears,
And out from old faded wallets
Treasures boarded for years.
The Judges face was study,
The strangest You ever saw,
As he cleared his throat and murmured
Something about the law.
For one so learned in such matters,
So wise in dealing with men,
He seemed. on simple question,
Sorely puzzled lust then.
But no one blamed him OF wondered,
When al last these words were heard:
1.-THE sentence OF this young prisoner
Is for the present deferredr'
And no one blamed him. or wondered,
When he went to her and smiled,
Aud tenderly led from the Courtroom,
Himself, the guilty child.
