of the place were surprised to see Cassie
Shields, the village ''tomboy' calling
from the top of the steeple. The good
folk were terrified at the sight. She
was dressed in her brothers knee
breeches and blouse, and as soon
as she had attracted the village folk to
the scene, began operations amid the
widest protestations. Nothing daunt-
ed, however, the venturesome girl
climbed out on the arms of the cross.
First she stood on one of the arms.
Then she stood on one foot and asked

The London music hall is an estab-
hshed institution of that metropolis,
and is in itself particularly English.
There is nothing just like it in this
country. Some of the popular music
hall singers of that city make very good
money, and have a large and ardent
circle of admirers. This is made posi-
bic to a great extent by the system of
appearing at two or three different
halls during the evening. For example,
M~issArabella Nightingale may be billed
to appear at the Alhambra at s:l5,
at the Great Western at 0:25, and at the
Palace of Delight at 1910.

To Our Ma.

DEAR Ma;
We are il trouble and orful
trouble at that.
When we started into this new
paper business we thought it was
a fat take and it PANIED out about
Rhat way, for took US and we are
at. And that, Ma, is what troubles
us, being so tat and not able to
expand to greater proportions.
We started into this thing with
visions of all the good things we
would get in pay for advertising,
subscriptions and jobs of different
sorts; but the fact is we feel like
we did when you give us that pot of
blackberry pie it was awful good
to start on but got bad towards the
last, and that before we had ate
half the pie.
Well, ma, we are now in just
such fix, only more so. We can
get all the adj we want provided
we eat and we II, ride, or drink it
out. And we have done a great
deal of businei S that way, but it is
beginning to tell on our constitu-
ton in a teri bic manner. Our
stomach Begin to rebel, we've got
too fat to ride much, and drinking
is distasteful to our temperament.
This is our con lition, ma, and the
serious aspect If it is, that it daily
grows more sci ious. What will we
do? 1t would impolite to refuse
to take groceries, especially when
you've got a reputation up as a
grocery consumer.
Oh! ma, wha- will we do, what
will we do, wht t will we do?
There is one thing we will not
do, unless we bust, and that is
trade any more ads for groceries.
Ma, please WI tie us what do in
the emergency, by return mail

anti-alliance. Such an assertion

whether the party who made the
unkind and untrue remark has the
ability to know the difference be-
tween the farmers alliance and
the third party, we are unable to
say. We will simply add that we
