An Artistic Triumph.

The dramatic entertainment at the Ly-
ceum theater last Wednesday evening,
under the auspices Of Levi Butler Post.
G. A. r., was signal success in every
particular and an artistic triumph for the
gallant commander of the post, Capt. M.
Whelan, who in the double bill which was
presented by splendid talent, scored the
greatest hit for his clever work that he
has made in all his theatrical experience
in this city. A large and appreciative all
dience enjoyed the evenings entertain
ment, which began with three-aet drama
entitled "The Idiot Witness" followed by
short intermission, during which the
audience was wrought up to the highest
pitch Of enthusiasm by the singing Of
patriotic airs by the Masonic Quartette
When the stirring notes of the "Star
Spangled Banner" reached their ears the
enraptured multitude rose to their feet
and applauded vcciferously.' The cosy
Lyceum never before looked so gay as it
appeared on Wednesday evening. The
stage was profusely laden with flowers,
evergreens and potted plants The stars
and stripes covered the walls on all
sides, and draped around the boxes, in
spired the utmost patriotism. The last
or third part Of the program was one
act farce entitled "Slasher and Crasher,"
which provoked huge amount of merri-
ment.

AN ANIMAL PARADISE.
Dogs and Cattle of All Kinds Are
Treated Very Humancly in
Holland.

The animals which are lucky enough
TO live in Holland are fortunate crea-
lures. Cows and pigs dot the land
scape in every direction and roam with
the sheep and horses in the pastures
bordered by the canals, which they can
not cross. In Switzerland, on the 9TH
er hand, the cattle are kept shut up
most Of the time in dark, sitting little
stables because there are no fences, and
otherwise the animals would stray,
says the Chicago Evening News.
The happiest dogs live in the Hague,
for muzzles are not compelled, and
everyone seems to take his dog along
when he goes for an airing. A touch
Ing story connected with the history
OF William the Silent, prince of Grunge,
may have had an Influence in disposing
the Dutch people to a general regard
and love for dogs. On the monument
of this prince in IL church at Delft is an
inscription referring To a favorite dog
OF his. On one occasion when he was
In great danger from Spanish ussassins
who were about to enter the tent where
he lay asleep the dog jumped ON his bed
and by barking loudly uwoke him in
time to make his escape. Afterward,
when he was ussnSsinatct, the Same
dog is soid to have pinned away and died
Of grief The fine statue of William at
The Hague also has he dog at his feet,
looking affectiona,cly up to the face of
his master.
Horses are treated very humancly in
Holland and the barbnruus check rein
is conspicuous by its absence. In none
of the large cities of Europe will one SEQ

horses head painfully. Side check
reins are sometimes used, but never In
