THE LONELY MARGUERITE

In garden OF pansies fair
BlOOmed lonely marguerite.
Strolled one day stranger there,
Into the realm OF the garden sweet.
He saw the pansies looking up
Into the face OF the marguerite.
She was dropping, and drinking the cup
OF lovely lot In the garden sweet.
The stranger smiled, and the pansies fair
Smiled on the lonely marguerite.
Many the whispers scenting the air;
Many the hear Is at the stranger feet,
The stranger breathed soft sweet sigh
Into the ear OF the marguerite.
She raised her face TO the stranger eye.
Nothing was said in the garden sweet
Dropped The garden Of pansies fair
Flown The lonely marguerite
GOnel The stranger alone knew where
Won by a sigh in the garden sweet

Queen Victoria and Louis XIV.

Queen Victoria is not entitled to the
record of reigning more years than any
other sovereign of modern times.
Louis XIV, lie Grande Monarque,"
was King of France for seventy-two
years There is a wide gulf of differ
ence, however, between Victoria and
Louis. lie Glande Monarque" left
his nation in poverty and misery ruin

royal foolishness, while the >.ueen en-

life, finds her nation happier, stronger
and in every way more prosperous
than when She took the scepter-Der-

1t Is probable that the wheat crop
this year will be from 110000,000 to
12O,LJJ, 900 of bushels short of the
amount grown last year. Worms are
affecting winter wheat and the spring
crop seems to indicate shortage also.
We have been asked If Marietta.is to
be favored with park concerts this
year. No doubt the idea has occurred
to many persons who like to hear
good music in the open air
1t is fair to presume that the matter
of money has something to do with
these concerts; and in that connection
we should like to know what is the
matter with the proposition that the
city pay for the artistic service. The
city expends funds for gladdening the
eye, and the expenditure finds favor
with the public. Why not gladden. the
sense of hearing as well? We think
it consistent to do so by paying for the
concerts out of the public till. The
public enjoys the concerts-then why
not the public pay the bill.

One of the prettlest things we have
seen is the poem printed in last nights
Register, from the pen of j. M. Shaw
han, a well-known contributor to the
local press. We think so well of ii
tnat we use it this Sunday morning
when Memorial Day is so near at hand
and eLe world is so particularly fine
with FTora's loveliness:
BRING YE SWEET FLOWERS.
,Erlng We flowers sweet flowers of ev-
cry hue
Scatter them over each slumberlng
'H' head,
just as their own loving fingers would
do,
If they were here again and we were
dead.
Come with your baskets full-graves
we have many;
Remember those God-given treas
ures of ours:
Scatter them everywhere, don't neg
lect any;
o bring ye sweet flowers, bring ye
sweet flowers
Scatter white Lilies where baby re-
poses,
Emblems of purity, like the wee tots.
Where mother lies sleeping, place old
fashioned Roses.
And throw on a bunch of Forget-me-
nots.
Part the tall Glover. Look where the
ivy creeps,
Some graves are hidden almost from
our view.
Hunt the old pioneer find where the
soldier sleeps
and deck them with garlands; It's
all you can do.
In all the wide world, with its differ
ent Nations,
There isn't a land that is washed
by the sea
Wher they care for Gods Acres with
sweet decorations,
AS they do in the land of the Brave
and the Free.
So come with your basket full, graves
We have many,
Sprinkle them tastefully, each
mound above.
Scatter them everywhere, don't neg
lect any;
o bring ye flowers, fair tributes of
Love.

"My Friend From India

Du Souchet's comedy, MY Friend
from India which comes to the Grand
tomorrow evening for three nights is
which has been produced of recent
years. 1t contains the most absurd and
mirth provoking situations, and is en-
tirely free from all Objectionable fea-
lures.
Walter E. Perkins, the well known
comedian created the part of A. Keene
Shaver. the theosophical barber of the
piece. Mr.. Perkins work in the role
is directly in line with the above
theory. He relies for his effects on
methods, which are never used by in
ferior actors and plays with an ap-
parent Inconsistencies and lack of
effort, which mark the true artist. His
extreme seriousness and earnestness
add a humor and comedy element,
which the lines and ordinary stage
business would never furnish alone.
This is especially notable in the great
scene of the play known as the mirror
scene" where his fidelity to art over
comes any temptation to guy the part
and he exactly reproduces the move
ments of Mrs. I3eekman Streete. the
Eighty widow, so that the spectator
can readily fancy the near-sighted
woman actually imagines she is gazing
at her own reflection. The delusion is
so well sustained that the scene is one
of the best in the piece, where in less
able hands il would seem utterly over
drawn My Friend from India is
far from being one part play. 1t con-
tains several fine roles and the comedy

The non-appearance of Eugene Blair
and her company Thursday night was
a great disappointment to the theatre
going public. 1t is rare that one
night engagement attracts so much at
tention, but the popularity of the book
was the best advertisement, and
everywhere people were curious to see
Its production upon the stage. The
house promised to be one of the biggest
of the season. While in this particular
instance, the delay on the road was
caused by wreck. the circumstance
calls TO mind that connections were
missed two or three times last year
by depending on the afternoon train.
Where a company is figuring closely
for time, ii is the most natural thing
in the world to reason that a train
which arrives here at $40 will give
plenty of time for the actors to rest,
etc. But where this train is known to
be late four times out of five, it is a
risk, to say the least, and if COM
panies continue to patroniZe it, there
Will be more. diSappointmentS before
the season is over. 1t is a great an
noyance for the company, the Theatre
and the audience.
"A Lady of Quality" as is well
known, is a dramatiZation of Mrs.
Burnett's story of that name. and
was first produced in New York and
the eastern cities by Julia Arthur.
After the first season of the play,
Eugene Blair secured the rights for
all the territory not covered by Miss
Arthur. The passionate press agent"
was enthusiastic in his description of
Miss Blair's production, and notices
from many of the papers made it seem
that Salt Lake had suffered a great
loss in not seeing the play. However.
a terSe and bitter scoring of the whole
production appeared in the Kansas
City Star after the opening night there,
and attracted some attention. 1t called
the play cheap and vulgar, mentioned
no merits in the players and said that
the only feature worth noticing in the
production was the scenery. This
roast lost thousands of dollars for
the play all through Kansas, and ad-
vance sales dwindled as people de-
manded their money back. The man.
ager of the company took pains to call
attention to the Stars notice and
claimed that it was the result of the
critics personal animosity toward the
actors. As may be judged after reading
the book, "A Lady of Quality is a
play which is daring in some parts,
and is sure to raise a storm of dis
cussion. 1t would have been interest
ing to note how the play was received
here, and our greatest loss lies in the
fact that we receive very little in the
way of dramatic sensation.
Another great disappointment to
Salt Lake theatre-goerS will be the
canceling of dates by the Bride
