UFinnigan's 400

Murray and Mack's great success,
"Finnigan's 4O0," will be seen at the
Grand opera house on Saturday, October
6. After several seasons touring
around the globe, it shows no signs of
diminishing in popular favor This is
no doubt the result of Murray and
Macks vast resources as comedians and
producers. The play is kept constant
ly up to date. No moss-covered jokes
or last years puns are allowed to creep
into the performance. To keep an
audience in a-continual laugh is hard
work. 1t is trying on the performer
and wears on the audience. Therefore
it has been the aim of these comedians
to carefully watch their opportunities
and when the house is in an uproar, a
pretty song is introduced or a diverting
specially, to relieve the torture of too
much laughter. BY blending the laughs
with something to appeal to the eye or
the senses, they have woven together
farce that evidently pleases all tastes,
as their continued success indicates.
This years company is said to be a
particularly strong one, introducing as
it does some twenty-five people, most of
whom are strong favorites.

they have made n big increase i'm the
amount of their output ! should say
that their increase has not been as
great as that of the pulp and pape"
mills. The change in the cotton and
WOODEN business is largely in the ma
chincry. Everything tended to induce
them to put in machines that will do
more and better work. This may have
been caused by the cry NJ southern

No Chance For Him,

Three negro lads met on a street cor
ner one afternoon. and by some queer
freak of Providence each had just Is
cents. This was considerable for them,
and, being so unfortunate as to have
no Scraps" it required much serious
deliberation to arrive at just the best
plan for spending it.
Finally one suggested that they
place their little capital in pool and
then, each in turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guesser to take
all Of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval,
as each one had ideas on that subject,
and the 45 cents was soon in q pile.
Then the first one guessed.
."Possum, sweet taters an water
melon" he said.
At this the second one reached down
and began picking up his nickels, but
the third stopped him with: "Hor on
dare! Let dat money lone" To which
the second replied:

Where 1t Rains Frogs.

Every once in awhile stories are
brought out about extraordinary show
ers Of fish, of bloody snow, etc., the
latest thing being of a ship captain far
out on the Atlantic who ran into dust
shower so heavy he had to set his crew
shoveling the dust from the decks
when the weight began to get danger
GUS. To this be there added tale:
1t rains frogs in Arizona. The old
timers believe there is no doubt Of it,
though they cannot explain whence the
frogs were originally Gifted" But this
much is straight-let there be a sum-
mer rain along the line Of the southern
Pacific in southwestern Arizona, and
behold the next morning every little
pool has myriad of little lean green
frogs with marvellous croaking powers.
They don't wait for nightfall like their
more civilized brothers elsewhere, but
keep up the music by day as by night.
They live where water comes only
about once a year. They can't live
over the interim under the sun baked
black rocks. They assuredly haven't
hoped from the Colorado river, and
they are all Of size to boot. If they
didn't come from the ground or from
the river, they must have come from
the skies.
And that's what the Hassayampers
firmly believe.-Arizona Graphic.
