Wait for the bag Show.

A manager who eNpends thousands
of dollars in ORDER that nothing Will
be neglected that might add to the
enjoyment of his patrons certainly
deserves success, and. as a rule, he
generally gets it, if the public would
endeavor to discriminate between re-
sponsible companies and those who
possess no stability.
There are plenty of good shows,
but, unfortunately, there are hum
dreds which are utterly devoid of
merit. Now, any one can tell at a
glance if they see magnificent new
store with massive plate glass Win
dows, that it necessarily calls for a
great outlay of money to erect it, and
the stock in such a store is generally
of the finest. The same line of rea-
soning to theatrical enterprises; for
instance when you see a show billed
in the lavish and expensive manner
that characterizes She Couldn't
Marry Three" company you can rest
assured that there is money and
push back of it. The beautiful, ar
tistic pictorial photographic work, is
the finest and the costliest on the
road. No photographic firm would
attempt that kind of work without
having so, 900 down to insure them
from loss. This is only one of the
many items of a great show, and the
same good taste which provides this
beautiful printing will neglect no
other department of the show. SO
there is not a doubt that the produc-
ton of ..She Couldn't Marry Three
is the biggest show of the season.

A small specimen 1t humanity saun-
tered into the Office % the charity socie-
ty yesterday and gradually worked his
way to the side OF Mr.. Caspur and asked
for nickel to buy ice cream soda. He
was Sd dirty that he looked more like a

ged and a greasy cap covered his dirty
little head He was barefoot, except for
the clothing OF black muddy scales
which had formed on his shins from &C
cumlated layers Of dirt He said he was
Z years old and could spell rat" He
looked as IL rats were the most familiar
object his eyes were acquainted with.
Miss Field took the little fellow and
tried TO get him to consent To take a
bath. but he refused until he vas shown
q clean new waist, which was promised
to him on condition that he would take
q bath. He finally consented and was
thoroughly washed and dressed in the
new waist and was sent home. About
two hours later he returned. leading a
little girl who was nearly as dirty as he
had been on his first visit This is

tiously around the corner into the Office.
He was asked why he brought Susie and
replied: MA wanted me to show her
