A similar melodrama, whose plot
swung and ratified about restaurant

before the days when gold cures offered
temporary relief to those addicted to
the rosy. One young man, naturally of
a thrifty habit, reached point in his
life when he learned that if he became
thirsty he became very much SO. In
quelling this thirst he was apt to squan-
der all the money he had saved since
the last time. So it came that, being
philosophic, he rose superior to his pro-
pensity for thrift and disposed of his
salary as fast as he earned it Thereby
he got due and proper action for his
money, and also appreciably shortened
the length of his DRINKS. Having no
reserve fund, he could not continue his
liquor consuming career for long. One
Monday he detected the stealthy ap-
proach OF the thirst. He had become so
wise that he could tell it Is hours away.

Those who have the pleasure of
spending the week at Burntside are
very much pleased with the amateur
theatricals which take place on Satur-
day evenings. A week ago the drama
Barbara Fritchie" was rendered in a
creditable manner, and last Saturday
evening another popular play was
produced. The leading spirit in the
exhibitions is Master Ned Brown,
thirteen years of age, who plans the
performances equal to older hands.
After the dramas are given living
pictures, arranged by the young
gentleman, which are conceded by
all to be simply immense considering
the available settings and materials
at hand. Natures Mirror" was d
