McVicker consented. The following day
the father came around and asked for
| a rebate. He said: See here, that
darned show Of yours put the baby 10
| sleep and he didn't see any of IL. You
fought to give me back a quarter" The
manager argued that the baby had
been admitted free. according to the first
| proposition, but the father insisted IL
| was worth % cents to carry the sleep
ing child home. Mr.. McVicker gave
way in despair and the man went away
happy with the quarter.
Here are the choruses of the two
latest popular music hall ditties of
London. The following is from a song
entitled It's a Great Big Shame:"
It's a great big shame, an IL she be-
longed ter me
I'd let her know who's who.
| Naggin' at a Teller wot is six-foot-free.
| An her not four-foot-two:
oh! they admit been married not
month nor more
| When underneaf 'er fumb goes Jim;
Isn't it a pity as the likes of 'er
Should put upon the likes ov i'm!
The other chorus belongs to a song
entitled THE Faithless Donah." and
| runs like this:
| And ev'ry night she goes to bed, sees
her candle lighted,
/ wonder IL she's finkin' Of the broken
cart she's blighted;
I feels inclined to DRAIN meself. COS
she won't let me own 'er,
I'd give the world to win 'er back, my
faifless little donah.
It's long way from good acting to
good horses, but the spectacular ten
| dency of the stage is not to be gain
said, says a Philadelphia paper. There's
a small youth who blacks boots in the
vicinity of Ninth and Walnut streets,
and keeps a wary eye on the drama
meanwhile. His chums are inclined to
catechise him occasionally in the hope
of proving he doesn't know all about
everything; they tried IL last night:
Jimmy. where are the Metropolitan
opera people staying this week."
AT de Belvyew," was the prompt
answer.
where's Sothern?"
AT de Stentin."
And The Sporting Duchess?"
"oh, they're at the stable on 18th
street."

1t takes eight 60-foot freight cars to
carry the scenery, costumes and prop
critics of the Irving company. curious
fact came out in the course or the
companys dealing with the custom
house, calling. as they did, for exact de-
tailed lists of everything they carried

closely printed typewriter pages to

Frederick Warde, who Will be in /
Butte shortly, delivered a lecture on |
Shakespeare in San Francisco a few
days ago. He spoke of the Baconian |
theory, comparing the genius of the |
two men by saying he would as soon |
doubt the sentiment of the Lords /
Prayer, which me learned at his moth |
er's knee, as to doubt the authenticity /
of Shakespearan plays or poems. He |
reviewed Henry VIII" in a humorous /
oh, -
and recited his famous soliloquy and |
his speech to Cromwell. He cited in |
stances to show Shakespeare's belief in /
the efficacy of prayer, and spoke of his /
prophetic words and of his philosophy. |

lers reply was short and effective. oh
you sweet thing" she cried, and then |
she threw her arms around Mr.. Balls |
neck and kissed him fairly and square
ly on the mouth. The next morning
there was a run on loving cups"
Alexander SalvinPs Hamlet" was
given a great reception in st. Paul last
week and the papers say his imperson-
alton was admirable and that he evil
denced a fine conception of the part.
His reading was pleasing, especially I'm
his exquisite rendition of some Of the
delicately humorous passages in the
soliloquies.
