the scaffold: "Gentlemen, I have
very few words to say. In fact

except that by not speaking | would
appear to acquiesce in my execution.

atoms. | wish to also state here, so
that there can be no chance of mis-
understanding hereafter, that | am
not guilty of taking the lives of any

for which | am today to be hanged.

dads GIRL. Only a fair sized
audience greeted the Langdon ORA
matte Company at the Opera House
last night, on which occasion dad g
Girl" was presented, but what the
audience lacked in number was
more than balanced by their appre-
citation of the efforts of the company.
The play presented was clean and
wholesome comedy drama, dealing
with theme that always touches
the human heart. Throughout the
drama there ran acomedy vein which
surely pleased those present Miss
Elsie Graham, in the title role, WAS
exceedingly clever. The role she
appeared in last night was in mark
ed contrast to the one assumed Mon
day, which goes to show her great
versatility. Geo. B. Berrell, in the
comedy role of Biles, was a favorite
from the start by his clever work.
He kept the audience in continual
good humor. j. L. Seeley, as David
Haskins, did as clever piece OF
character acting as has been seen for
many day. Miss Healey, Messrs.
Langdon, Ward and Alvarez were
all suited to their respective roles

BIRTHDAY THOUGHTS.
Another natal day How swiftly
do the years speed on We wish
we could say they were mark, d With
more OF good than they are. AL
though we may not recall them, per-
chance they were not altogether
spent in vain. Could we retraee
them we see in the light of exper.
fence where we could have acted so
differently and been wiser in our do
ings. But would we be so? All,
how treacherous is The beart-wish-
ing and hoping to do the right, yet
cleaving unto the wrong. So, we
will not repent over misspent time
and neglected opportunities, but will
take the future as it comes and nerve
ourselves for whatever it may bring,
do the work our hands find to do,
and leave the disposal Of our lives in
the hand of Him who keeps the
world and aIl things in their proper
sphere"
Mr.. Morgan took tue paper ard
in few minutes surprised her by
handing it back, with the following
versified version of her thoughts,
just to show how rhymer can jim
gle words when the ideas are furnish
ed him
Another natal day has come
How swiftly do the years speed on.
o, would that more of good deeds done
Their rapid flight did mark and crown.
Although we cannot now recall,
Nor live our vanished years again.
To make them bright with better acts
Perhaps they were not all in vain.
Could we life's pathways but retrace
And see in retrospective light,
We think our lives would wiser be,
More loyal to the cause OF Right.
But would they be? We cannot tell,
For treacherous is the human heart,
We wish and hope to do the right
Yet often act wrongful part.
Wen not repine 'er misspent time,
And fitting seasons gone for e'er:
But take the future as 1t comes
And strive to make 1t far more fair.
Wen do the work our hands shall find.
And leave the issue of our years
With him who orders life on earth
And guides the planets in their spheres,
