PLUM CATsUP.-A lady reader OF the
STANDARD says: 81 wish everybody
knew what a delicious catsup can be
made without tomatoes. Simply sub

is to lift the soul for moment above

"WHAT BECAME OF GEO. S. ALLEN
PoTAToEs?"-That is a question which
Mr.. A. himself cannot answer. He
knows that he owns the land on which
they were planted; that he planted
them, hoed and dug them, but further

Henderson, the actor-pianist, whose
unique performance in Friends" has

was playing in st. Louis he was pes
tered to death by young composer
a wealthy amateur, who insisted that
the young actor should play his com.
positions through the country, and in
order to so introduce himself as a
composer he offered to pay handsome
ly for the opportunity. After glanc-
ing through one OF his pieces, Mr.
Henderson declined at any price.
A COOP Play" Friends" is what
is known as a strong society comedy
drama its shadows are deep, its lights
high, and plot intense, the dialogue
bright, satire keen, and situations
strong. 1t is always unsatisfactory to
relate the story of play before its
performance. One reason is it is hard
to tell in few words incidents which
suffice to fill out three or four acts.
d" Friends" by Edwin Milton Royle
gives a glimpse of the real Bohemia Of
American life. Painting some scenes
quite truefully, for Bohemia is a land
that has been more lied abont than
any in all out of mans Imagination.
One thing is certain it will be we'll

the best of the profession.
