Good Bill at the Biiou

Standing room was at premium at the
Bijou last night, and the large audience
enjoyed the entire array of vaudeville
talent that was spread before them.
The opsretic stars. T. w Eckert and
Emma Berg, in their japanese operetta
Little Pee Weet," were the favorites,
and they have cause to feel battered in
such class.
Hastings and Wright are well-know,
here. and when they appeared last nigh
they were heartily wecomed. So were
Misses Bigger and 'Dreher, who also have
many friends hare.
Others on The bill who took well were
Watson and Hntchings. headliners. in
very funny sketch called The Dramatic
Agent" The Great Goldin." iliusionist;
Lottie and Fitzroy, refined musical ex-
1erts, and Barr and Evans in n sketch
known as In Town on Business.
The regular performances viii be given
all the week.

a"Oh give me the life OF a farmers wife
In the summer hot and bright.
Mid croacl1ing frogs and barking dogs,
Ard dreadful fieas that bite.
To rise in the morning half asleep.
When the farmer blows his horn
And watch the weeds, as. they go TO seed.
All over the yard and lawn.
s"Oh give me the life OF farmers Wife"
When the rain begins to pour.
When the driving breeze shakes leaves
from the trees,
And whirls them in at your door.
The rats go scamrering through the walls,
The ants in the closet roam;
Your friends drop in when the larder is
thin
And the servants are gone from home.
