was on regular lines. Both men were in
the pink of condition and Mackel was SO
muscular knots cropped out all over him.
The audience fairly shrieked with laugh
ter at their appearance and when they
left their corners and shook hands the
fun was on. Their feints, leads and ducks
were amusing. Mackel was nearly knock
ed out and to administer the knockout
blow. Schwartz got a ladder and brac-
ing it against Mackel climbed up and
gave him the coupe de grace. And the
curtain went down in the midst of the
widest enthusiasm.
While they got off some clever jokes
there We're some quite moldy and could
be cut with good effect. The local gags
were all good. Began said he was in
Helena and wanted to get back the worst
way, so he took the Great Northern. He
talked Of a brakeman in bird store and
explained that he broke the crackers for
the parrot. Stivers said he could get dol
lars at Hennessy's for As and SIS cents.
Asked how, said anyone would give dol
lar for As and So cents. Ray Freund got
off the ark joke of the jackass, the flood
and the bale Of hay. In an upper box
there was a struggle and one man tried
to hold another who yelled on that his
great grandfather had told that joke to
his grandfather. Then they went back
Of the stage.
One on Heinze.
Stephens said he heard F. A. Heinze
was going to be married. When ques-
toned he said: "Well he's very fond Of
Minnie Healey. So are some other fell
lows and it's hard to tell which will win
his suit" He was told he must mean Sem
ator Clark. He said he guessed he could
tell Clark and Heinze apart. They got off
a joke on Abe Legget. Said he fell in
well, but the doctor got no sympathy.
He ought to have been attending to the
sick instead of looking after well. Raj
ferty said that Irish Swede Kelley OF
the Inter Mountain editorial chair has an
article in about a Mr.. Day marrying a

AS an interocutor. Mr.. Lane was inns

And how delighted the many teachers
present were as they beheld him singing
and dancing. He can never wear his
dignified clothes with them again.
That First Solo.
The first solo was by Harry Doerins
assisted by a picked Quartette. His Sc
lection. Asleep in the deep" gave him
an opportunity to show that he is real
basso profundo. For an encore he re-
peated one verse Of the song. 1t seemed
as if none of the singers We're prepared
for encores as one and all stayed with
their original selection.
I. D. Began was easily the star per-
former. If he has never been a pco.
fessional it is simply wonderful his ease
and grace. He resembles in all his
mannerism George Primrose only he can
sing and Primrose can't. Bert Steph-
ems was close second as end man.
Jack Thomas has the sweetest tenor
voice in Butte and his singing of Wait

statements have been made to the effect
that while the imperial court with the
