THE entertainment to have been
given by the Wren Comedy com
pany last Thursday evening, under
the auspices of Raven Lodge, X. of
F., was vetoed by the members,
after the company arrived in the
city, because of the uufavorable
comments sent here by citizens Of
neighboring towns. The members
of Raven Lodge were advised to
squelch the performance with the
assurance that it was better to do so
than to defraud the people out of
their money, and it was done. 1t is
a shame and imposition on the
public to indorse fayorably a com
pany so unworthy as the Wrens
seem to be. Read what is said by
the Locol, of Shullsburg, where the
company appeared last week:
"There flew into the city a small
flock of Wrens last Wednesday
| These little birds are familiar with
man and understand the secret of
getting money without yielding up
anything of value in return. This
particular flock of Wrens was a bad
lot, and deserve punishment for the
bold, and outrageous manner in
which they faxed money from Two
or three hundred of our citizens.
Some of these poor innocents with
Ia little salt in one hand and n club
in the other, as it were, were around
looking for Wrens Thursday morn.
ing, but the little birds had flown to
other fields and pastures green, with
the "credentials" from press, clergy,
lodges and societies, demonstrating
in their triumphal flight that this is
great year for suckers. We learn
that our Odd Fellows paid the hall
rent and received 80 per cent. OF
the receipts"
