She was just little curly -headed school girl
who wore one shabby black dress such q long
time that the children made fun of her when
she came and went among them.
''What do you think?'' they said to each other,

wears it all the year round"
But that was not true. II was winter dress
and one day in spring little Louisa blossomed
out in pink.
''What do you think9' cried the children.
"Louisa's got o new dress.''
Children are unfeeling little monsters. nat

The Boy Had Disappeared.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

At the Lake Erie depot Saturday afternoon
the members Of a brass band were waiting for a
train. They adjourned across the street to irri-
gate their throats. leaving their instruments in
care Of boy. He proved uhfaithful to his
trust, and after trying his hand-or mouth
rather-at playing on each of the instruments
he went to join some other boys who were cele-
brating outside. They had captured a small
curly-haired dog and were debating what to do
with him.
The newcomer suggested that they tie o
punch OF crackers to his tail This was done,
and when the crackers began to fizz and pop
the dog. with Q wild howl Of terror, dashed
into the waiting room, scattering sparks and
yelps as he went, and plunged head first into
the big base horn, which tho boy had left lying
on the floor.
With such force did he project himself into
the tapering bell Of the horn that he stuck fast,
and when the owner returned he found it full

sounded like cannons In the csvernous depths

THEATRICAL NOTES.

One Of the scenes in "a High Roller,
which will be sent out next season, will be
an interior view of the Manhattan club
which occupies the famous A. L. Stewart
mansion in New York city.
Louis Harrison is again starring in "The
Pearl Of Pehin."
Edwin Booths health, he says, is good
but on the few times recently when he has
been seen on the street he used heavy
stick and walked apparently with consid-
cradle diiigliag. Not long ago he wit
messed a performance Of Barrett's tragedy,
"Ganelon," from Il box.
Julia Marlowe is much improved in
health and will soon go south.
The new Lyceum theatre at Duluth is
nearly completed.
1t is said that Joseph Arthur, author Of
"The Still Alarm and "Blue Jeans" is at
work on new play to be produced in tle
season of 1884. 1t is to be wholly differ

previous efforts According to the gossip
of people who ought to know it will be

The long run of "The Old Homestead, :"
with Denham Thompson in the leading
role, has ended in New York. This was
brought about, not because the piece had
begun to lose money but because the ac-
tors in it had played their parts so often
that they had become unbearable.
