BOOK BEER AND THE GOAT.
The Season of the Heavy Brew
Earlier Than Usual.

Yesterday the book beer season OPEN
ed. and the little goat with the long horns
was hailed with delight by those who in
dulge in the matured beverage. The book"
season is several weeks ahead OF the usual
time this year, and the appearance of the
goat was subject for much discussion
yesterday.
Book" beer is a heavy dark brew of
double strength. AS a rule il is made late
in the autumn and allowed to age until
spring Only limited supply can be held
over and the season lasts but a few weeks.
Book" is as different from ordinary beer
as snow is from ice cream. Men who look
not upon the beer when il foams VIII
drink book as a tonic while the season
lasts, and a large number of habitual beer
consumers endeavor to shorten the season
every year by getting rid of book" at a
rapid pace.
Liquors and ordinary beers are forced TO
take vacation while book" lasts, and the
number of men in Washington who are
taking the beverage for tonic would sur
prise even the medical profession.

she is as resistless as ever. Although
she has spent fifty years on the stage,
and played more parts than any woman
now before the public, she is the true
artist vet, and she still has that mimi
table walk and motion that made her
one of the stars in the good old days

laugh as soon as she enters in her
kitchen dress and announces that she
is the President of the Cook Ladies'
Union, who afterward ordered a strike
in the house because she was dis
charged. Rose Stuart is Mrs. Smith
One of the daintiest female characters
of the play is Miss Dorothy Usner. Her
interview with Smith that causes him
to give her $500 because he had made
a mistake and kissed her, is the acme
of naivette. Miss Rose Snyder gives
