[For THE SUNDAY HERALD
1.-THE Lights o. London" just AFTER
/ Darll'' went out, leaving naught about US
but "a Good Devil" and 1.-The Waits of
New York" playing on 1.-THE Pavements of
Paris, when along came 'The Octoroon''
bearing a rag BABY" who held the
Queens Lace Handkerchief She was
was called the white Slave" because 'sDr.
JekylI and Mr.. Hyde" owned her. She
was not 1.-THE Wife" of anyone, but be-
longed to "Said Pasha" or rather his
harem. While walking along, along came
Macbeth" ('Passions Slave'), and as
this is going to be comedy of Errors ,
you had bett9ll Look Before You Leap" at
conclusions. Macbeth was about to kiss
her, when along came Nero of Rome'' who
IN tones of thunder enquired. who art
thou, thou Curse of Cainp" Receiving
no reply he was about to chastise the ''Mer-
chant of Venice when his arm was STAYED
by Julius CRsorn who asked, What
would'st thou do, thou second 'Hamletg
Knowest thou that King Lear has freed
Michael Strogof' from 'SiberiaP aud that
! the Merry Wives OF Windsor are awaiting
your presencei And that the Count of
Monte Cristo' has married Hazel Kirke! ~
Just then up came "Youth' who asked for
"Humpty Dumpty." Getting a negative
reply he started to find ''Othello''
who was down on First South street
having social hand of cut-throat euchre
with "Richard Ill" and ''Iugomar," while
''rhe Kitty' was playing near. But as he
was going down he struck Natural Gas''
and immediately set out for a "City Di-
rectory" to get the address of ''Iolanthe,' ~
whom he loved: After getting her they
went down to the Great Salt Lake and got
aboard III. M. S. Pinafore'1 and sailed Tor
abe land of the 'Mikado,' taking the
"Three Guardsmen'' to protect them.
But to return to the other group. After
the departure of the Youth" (who had
been HELD by thel Enemy" many time)
along came Josh Whitcomb" who had but
just left the "Old Homestead Approach
ing the group he inquired after their health,
when Midnight Bell" struck, so they
went off to get 'EVangeline," whom they
found in "Our Boarding House, kept by
the widow O'Brien," crying something
about the "World Against Her." ana being
alone was unknown" but the group,
nothing "Daun d." asked what was the
matter. She replied that while walking along
First South street she STUDDED her toe On
"HOle in the Ground" and looking up
happened to catch sight of "a Brass Mon
key" and walking the street she met
"Romeo and Juliet" who cried "For-
get-me- Not'' The group then told
her to have "Patience'' and they'd go
down and visit old Faust" where they
met 1.-THE Black Hussar' and "Adonis''
walking arm in arm, and who cried out
"Have You Met Our Cinderella" we can't
find her even though we went 'Around
The World In Eighty Days" in search of
her.
Now this group, wishing to be every
body's Friend" suggested that they take
in 1.-The Old Curiosity Shop" for her, and
hey tn, continued on their way until
they cane to the house of ''Mr Potter, of
Texas" where She and "Erma The
Elf" invited them to enter and which
they accepted, and were having a good time
when the police raided the place, captured
them all, gave them Trial by jury" and
which by the way was called Celebrated
Case'' and sent them up for ninety days
each. BRIANT S. YOUNG.
