HIS IDEA.

Nirna Sheard in St Nicholas
What are you going to be. dear Jack,
When you're quite grown up?" / said.
viii you be a lawyer, like papa,
Or a soldier, like Uncle Ned?"
He shook his curly head and smiled;
Then answered. Il think it is queer
Papa wanted to be a lawyer,
When he might be a pioneer"
"A pioneer, dear ladder" l cried:
why, how brave and bold you must be
But, If you roam, you must come back
home
Your poor little mother to see"
"Oh, I'll not go far away" he cried;
Il can do 1t as well at home.
don't think when I'm pioneer
That l shall care to roam.
Il should think that a pioneer he said,
With calmly smiling eyes,
THAT a pioneer would have to do
Something + other with pies"

THE PICNIC by THE LAKE.

II. C. Paine In Harper's Bazaar.

and pleasant days,
For its sweet romantic evenings beneath
the moons soft rays,
For Its nowers and It's sunshine, but /

That travesty on pleasure called the picnic

OF deciding on the people you think good

Then such tiresome discussions on what
each is going to take
In the matter of provisions TO the picnic by
the lake.
When these vital points are settled and the
party is aioat,
There are .maidens five, matron, and a
lone man in each boat,
Who takes the oars and struggles till he
thinks his back will break,
AS he rows eight miles to windward-to the
picnic by the lake.
When at last the voyage is ended he must
Chamber to the spring,
Which is "somewhere up the mountain"
that the water he may bring.
He must get a load of drift-wood and the
Though it's hotter than-the tropics, at the
picnic by the lake.
Then he has to mock his hunger with a
diet of sardines.
OF hard boiled eggs and sandwiches, re-
Iieved with Boston beans.
There's a scarcity OF chicken, but plethora
OF cake
Oh, the place to get dyspepsia is picnic
by the lake!-
While the maiden he would hirt with. how
ever well he plan,
Devotes her whole attention to the only
other man

the shake,
And III never give another girl a picnic

Whiteside's Conception.

one of the most talked of actors on the
american stage today is Mr.. Walker
Whlteside, who will appear at the opera
mouse, for three performances, COM
mencing tomorrow night Each quarter
or a century since the Bard of Avon
penned his matchless lines seems to have
furnished a master for their interpreta-
ton. There is but little doubt that Wal
ker Whiteside is the pre-eminent figure
In this line of the present period. With
the passing away of Booth, Barrett and
Mccullough, it seemed to many delivers
into the almost limitless scope of Shake
spearean thought, that the present
would fail to find any person gifted by
nature in all respects fitted for pre-
eminent delineation of the masterpieces
which all but breathed and lived with
the genius of Shakespeare.
The coming of Mr. Whitesde is re-
garded by hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie as in the nature of gift of the Crea-
tor. Although he began modestly, but
short time elapsed until 1t was learned
that the age was to be honored with the
presence of a person who, in youth, APP
pearance, profundity of conception and
HeXibiity of expression, was thoroughly
fitted to carve in almost matchless lines
the subjects of Shakespeare's pen. His
Hamlet is a superb creation. His Richie
lieu is drawn in cunning outlines. His
Shylock is a crafty, avaricious and yet
generous statue, that grows upon the be-
holders, who are amazed at the original
ity of the deliueation.
With such an actor covering the above
characters and with the assistance of
everything that could lend to perfect
performance, it would be surprising If
the intellect of Birmingham did mot, dur
ing his appearance here testify by pres
ence and applause the honor they feel
in the presence in this entry of the
genius who, at a comparatively early
to the very front of Americas actors of
tragedy and command the unstinted
praise of scholars and critics the country
over,
