Hold on, brother. You know not
whereof you speak. If you only knew
how much superior the boss Is with
the rifle than the scissors you would
not have spoken as above. His north
ern trips are an annual necessity In
order that the deyil may get his dues.
The first number of the lecture
course was given Tuesday night by
Prof. VIM. Il. Moss, of Ann Arbor.
Mich, to large and appreciatlye au-
dience. His Subject, "America's Bob
bic Burns" james Whitcomb Riley,
was handled in mastery manner,
especially was the audience delighted
with the rendering OF "Jamsie," the
street urchin. His imitation of the lit
tie boy telling the bear story was true
to life, and the musical rhyme in the
poem "My VIOLIN" was finely given
and something to remember. Mr..
Moss proved very entertaining and in
;erpreted the writings of Riley with a
feeling and natural expression that
brought out the comic and pathetic
veins of thought very strikingly. We
shall be pleased to hear him again, as
he is u good entertainer.
w. II. Hsrtigan & Co., occupied the
boards at the Opera House Monday
night and for once Yale was visited
with tirst-class play in every respect,
but unfortunately for a great many of
our theatre-going people they were
not present. This was due to the short
space of time in advertising and the
inclement weather. The play pro-
duced was DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde,
and those who were present were high
ly entertained. Mr.. Hartigan in the
double role of DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde, was fine, as also was the singing
and dancing of Miss Cameron. The
Co. expects TO return to this village
sometime this winter and reproduce
the play entitled "Judas Maccabeus"
of which Mr.. Hartigan is the author.
Should they return they will be greeted
with full house. The sentiments of
those who attended are that this is the
best company that ever visited Yale.

with you and recognize your faces

address or account of his trip to Scot
land. eyes, have been over to see
bonnie Scotland of which Bobbie Burns
did write, and was on the grounds
where he wrote of The Banks an
Braes o. Bonnie Doom" And though
visiting my native land, the land of
my birth and viewed the land / often
desired to see after an absence of over
forty years, / returned an American,
yes, fully pledged to honor, love and
serve the land of the free and the home
of the brave, the home of the stars and
stripes. Yes, am glad to say that !
am yet an American at heart and am
in love and sympathy with the rights,
titles and privileges Of an American
citizen. The constitution and govern
ment. her free schools and systems of
education leads them all. Our homes
and farms, our freedom for which we
fought and the Goddess of Liberty
speaks to all the world of our match
less world" In a clear, pleasant and
orderly way the Elder pictured a
twelve days ocean voyage somewhat
stormy telling of his visits in Scotland
and at Nottingham, England. The ac-
count was much appreciated by all
present.-Peck cor. to Groswell DEM
