BAN BURY CROSS.
Origin of the Ancient English Nursery
Doggerel.


What grown person, asks the Chi
cago Chronicle, is there who at all re-
members his or her own experiences as
child in the nursery but will have
recollections quickly refreshed at see
ing this line of the old doggerel again,
ride a cock horse to Banbury cross?'
Why, in New England where in the
former time Puritan literature was the
intellectual food of all the people, there
was not a nurse or mother that did not
trot her charge on her knee to the mu-
sic of that line and its companion lives
in the verses of the homely poem which
is as old or older than the Reformation.
The place, Banbury, in England, has
a history that dates far back even to
the Reformation. In literature, too, it
has had secure mention any time the
last 800 or 400 years. 1t is therefore as
a disappointment to be told that Ban
bury is a mere country place in Eng
land which for centuries remained of
no little commercial Importance, even
creditng it with plenty of cheese and
tarts of its own production. These, it
is true, are still famous all over Eng
land. In recent years there has been
an accession of business there in the
manufacturing of agrictural imple-
ments. 1t is a market and borough
town, situated on the River Cherwell,
S. miles from London. 1t boasts a
large church that is an imitation of ST.
Paul's cathedral.
Happily. Banbury cakes have sur
vived, if it's zeal and cheese are things
of the past. Everybody knows the an
ecdote of the bishop, the boy and the
Banbury cake. The bishop of Oxford,
it is said was passing through the sta

form to fetch him Banbury cake and

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES'"
Delightful Comedy Will Appear at the
Margaret Thursday.

Margaret Thursday.
What Happened to JONES'" which
has been recognized as one of the live
Hest and most diverting farces of the
day, will be presented at the Margaret
next Thursday evening. Jones' has
been very successful in both England
and America, and Harry Corson Clarke
has duplicated the eastern success of
the comedy of the entire West, which
was most pronounced in San Francisco,
where he was greeted by immense
houses during his long run, and gained
deserved praise from the press and pub
lie. q
The piece, while uproariously funny,
Is pure in tone. and is entirely free
from all vulgarity, or. in fact, any,
thing that might be construed as Ct
fensive In the hands of Harry Corson
Clarke, it is raised above the usual
plane of farce comedy. There is some
thing so quaint in his fun making, and
his originality has been so marked in
every part he has portrayed, that he
has firmly established with theater-
goers in all sections of the country his
undoubted talent and ability as COM
edian. Mr.. Clarke is very proud of the
fact that he has surrounded himself
with a most excellent company, and it
is said that he has enlisted the efforts
of several very beautiful and talented
young women, VINO will be superbly
gowned.
