q new ''keeper OF the Inner Den

Mr.. w, M. MARBLE, a well known
proud possessor of one of the finest
farms in the State of Illinois. 1t is

Al. Blanchard, the well known barry
tone singer of st. Louis, is at present
stopping at the Jester Hotel. Al. has
been very sick since his return home.
He is unable to get out and see his old
friends, but they haven't forgot him.
They come in lunches, and AL. always
has good word for each one, and al
ways tells some interesting story of his
trip. Mr.. Blanchard and his partner,
Mr.. Fred Warren made bowling sue
cess with their sketch on their western
trip. They will open next week at
Louisville, KY, where they have been

his last trip, judging from the many
photographs he has displayed around
his room; also from the amount OF
mail he receives every day. Well,
YOU can't blame them, for Al. is a
handsome fellow, and possesses one OF
the best barytone voices in America.

called to see AL, accompanied by Mr..
Palmer, of the Hyde's Comedians Com
pany. The Club wishes al. speedy
recovery, also that he will achieve sue
cess and fortune which he justly de-
serves.
The white and wandering winding sheet,
Which Winter loves to spread,
Where Summers pulse no longer beats,
And Autum's tints are fled,
Now lie in softest folds and pleats,
Above the forests dead.
Full many a. leaf has waved in vain,
In Summers life and bloom,
| And misty dreams of August rain,
Blown light through woodlawn loom,
Full many blossoms wilding strain,
Has passed to make them room.
For now in pale and starry state,
The world in slumber lies,
And barred and calm the tall trees wait,
| The time they shall arise,
With March winds flowing elate,
With March winds flowing elate.
