Mr.. Frye has very pleasing stage
presence, and perhaps the only fault to
be found was that remarked by many-a
slight indistinctness of enunciatiOn.
But, let those who thus criticise, remem'
Der that changing the voice and tone
successfully for six or eight sentences is
no child's play, and even slight imper'

spoil or even seriously injure the artistic
beauty of the selection.

One Verse of Poetry Paid for Robbie
Burns's Dinner.

Here is story told Of Robert Burns
In his youth. Burns was living in the
town of Ayr. and though still! young
had attained more than a local repu-
tation as poet. One day he was pass
ing through the main street OF the town
and saw two strangers sitting at one of
the inn windows. With idle curiosity
he stopped to look ct them. Seeing him
and thinking that the rustic might af-
ford them some amusement while watt
ing, the strangers called him in and
asked him to dine with them. Burns
readily accepted the invitation and
proved merry. entertaining guest.
When dinner was nearly finished the
strangers suggested that each should
try his hand at verse-making, and that
the one who failed to write rhyme
should pay for the dinner They felt
secure in the challenge. believing that
their rustic guest would pay for the
meal. The rhymes we're written. and
Burns read the following: Il. Johnny
Peep, saw two sheep; two sheep saw
me. Half a crown apiece will pay for
their fleece and /, Johnny Peep, go
free" The strangers astonishment was
great, and they both exclaimed: Who
are you? You must be Robbie Burns!"

was supposed to be his wife but yester-
day denied the soft Impeachment and
said her name was Jessie Champlin
have been disposing soft drinks osten-
sibly at the Ding ling house opposite
Camp White on the Bullock's Point
road.
The place has been rather SWIFT for a
mere Ice cream soda or the innocent
fluid advertised by the sign with the
big Indian on 1t over the door so the
police have been investigating with
the result that the cause OF the hilarity
in part was some intoxicating liquor
that was sold on the sly. The officers
managed TO get four sales on John and
two sales on the accommodating Jessie.
Three charges for keeping were also
preferred against John. In the district
court they were adjudged guilty and
were fined $50 and costs and each sem
fenced to ten days In jail. Both took an
appeal and furnished bonds In the sum
of $500.
Word came to the chief OF police yes
terday afternoon that two men very
much under the influence of liquor
were pushing a horse along at In
graham's corner that was in terrible
condition. The case was at once invest
igated and Ii was found that Joseph
Knowles and Charles MORO were dis
covered pulling the horses neck as II II
was made of elastic and Ii was also
found that the animal was very weak
and it's knees very sore. The drunken
fellows could not give much informa-
tion to the officers about the cause of
the sad condition Of the steed but one
OF them. Knowles proved he owned the
outfit. This morning the horse was shot
and the carcass given to Barnes. Both
men were fined $5 and costs for cruelty
to animals. Knowles settled and Morro
went to the states castle at Howard.
