I'm DING to get married as soUu as
possible" said an old bachelor yester-
day. Il came to the conclusion about
two months ago down in Louisiana,
where one day got to day dreaming over
the matter. [ have knocked around
the world now for a long time and the
more L travel the 1onelier | get. When
| first started out in the world L knew
every girl In the town | was raised in.
but now L have got down to the point
where L only know one Gil | well enough
to be satisfied she would make any man
good wife | have never asked this
girl to have me, nor have L ever spoken
d word of love to her. But just as soon
as L see her L am going to pop the ques-
ton, ana am now studying strong
plea to make to her. Most girls look
on marriage as romantic and sentl-
mental proposition. but I've heard her
say that her ideas were thai the
romano was in the courtship, but mar
| riage was strictlya business affair and
the plea that | have sludle1 up is a
business proposition and L believe she
| will accept me on that ground. Ill try

The Broadway Comedians, in Town
TOpit S" will be here next Thursday
and play one night only. This company

tices than any troupe that has been
here this season, and if one can judge
| from what has already been said the
company is entirely composed OF artists
| who are SPECIALISTS in their line and
| their specialitles are new and exact
| portrait s of the characters they attempt
to represent John Queen, New Or
Leans boy, ia kes the part OF "Clnch,
colored lad. and he is said to act the
part so cleverly that many of the au-
dience believe themselves standing on
the levee of the Mississippi. Another
great and modern special act is that
performed by Frank Caverry as Ar
thur Pembroke who CONES sailing
out of the wings of the stage on bicy-
Gle at full speed, he lies over The heads
OF the other actors and out into the
auditorium and then makes graceful
turn and goes back to the stage. His
act is clever and mystifying. The two
leading lahieS of the troupe are Misses
Beatrice Norman and Nellie Sonnet
who each have their specialtles and
both succeed in captivating cultured
| audience, with their origin ality, beauty
and wit. There is but little doubt. t at
Town Topics Will captivate the city
