The Maynard Company.

Harry Maynard had a much better
house last evening and gave a more
varied program. His show is a cheap
admission proposition but it is one OF
the best entertainments a small COM
pany ever gave. It's novel and peculiar
all through and worth a second hear
ing. Mrs. Maynard does some very as
tonishing second sight work that
keeps An audience thoroughly mysti-
fled. Her work is different from most
OF the performers in the same line as
it lacks the vague uncertainty that
most Of those performers have. It is
accurate and done so we'll that there is
no mistake about it. Harry MAYNARD
ia n Of those gifted musicians who
without being able to read a note OF
music is a wonder in his line. He has
a good company, keeps fai.h with the
public and keeps all his contracts with
the public to the letter.

larly is once formed, it will be found to
take little time and bic, and the result
will be neat and trim appearance always
as well as the assurance that ones costume
is in readiness to be worn at moments
notice. 1t is less expensive in the end to
have different house dress than to mako
one gown serve for both street and house
wear. 1t is imperative that the out of
door costume should be natty and fashion
able looking, and constant wear about the
house will soon impair its freshness. Tho
indoor gown may be of cheap material
cheaply made, provided it is well fitting

fancifuI ways of trimming it at small cost
that would not be at all suitable for
street costume.

which runs up one side of the harbor
and back again. Every visitor to the is
land is expected to take a ride on it.
Not to do so would more offend them
than a refusal to take a drink of their
justly celebrated gin or cordials.
The captain was one Of them and
spoke the English language with an old
Holland accent. There was once lady,
he told me, who went ashore from his
steamer for ride around the town. She
saw the rear end of the donkey car
backed up against the quay, and prompt
~ got in and sat down. Finally the
driver started the motor, and away they
went, first around tie bay, then back
again. All this time she had not seen
the donkey, out of sight behind the dash
board, and she alighted in blissful ig
norance of its presence, for the car was
again backed up against the landing
place. She went aboard in f1utter of
mild excitement and said to her COM
panions: "Oh, my dears, you don't
know what you have missed. You ought
to take that ride III the electric car. No
noise, no jar. Just the perfection of mo-
ton. - ''She didn't see der tongkey,"
said the captain to me, ''und she'd nef-
er knowed der Inference if Won fool had
not told her dat her ELECTRIC gar vas
trawn by yackass. -
In early times the burro was sent to
toll at the mines, to bring ore from the
mountains to the seaports, to carry pro-
visions to the miners. After the mines
were exhausted and the forests near the
towns and cities all cleaned out he was
set at work bringing down loads OF fuel
in place of the precious metals
Droves of donkeys may be seen at this
employment in Mexico, in Cuba and
particularly in Venezuela. They are
obedient and sure footed and as the
rough trails over which they travel pre-
clude their being led by halters or driv-
en- they are turned loose to go as they
please. They well know it is of no use
to try to escape and SO submit to their
masters with good grace. After the Ia
Dor of the day is over perhaps they will
be rewarded by an opportunity for for
aging in the outskirts of the city for the
succulent cactus and the refreshing this
tie The Spanish American still clings
affectionately and tenaciously to his
burro, while the natives Of other coun-
tries prefer to travel by stehm and cleo
tricity. There is no accounting for taste.
There is great deal in companionship
and early traditions.
