Got to BE an Old Story.

Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cahecera, in
Venezuela, was asked by deputation
of the Inhabitants, who had heard OF
his skill as a SURVEYOR, whether he
thought a canal could be made from
their village to Provecue, which would
save very long river journey. He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
canal of about league would be all
that was necessary.
The committee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera,
and the first question asked him was:
do you not think canal could be
made from here to Provecue?''
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter, the chairman
replied that on account of politics, the
death of his father, etc., the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was ex-
citement. Nothing was talked about
but the canal
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival a deputation waited upon
him. DO you think a canal'-- The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.

The TeIItnle Bird.

Whenever have naughty been
This bird Is surely to drop In
And tell mamma just what I've done.
Then she calls me my little SOM

IT'S, johnny, you've been bad todayi"
But when ask, How do you knowr'
She says, "a little birdie told me so."
And il piece of pie take
Or even small bit Of cake
From pantry where no windows are,
And creep through the door ajar,
This little bird has eyes to see
And tells mamma all tales bout me;
Yet still | never saw this bird,
But ever Of it have heard.
Mamma says, "oh, he flies aroundv'
'Tis strange | cannot hear a sound,
Although look and listen well
When l do things would not tell
For fear mamma might call me bad
And look at me with eyes so sad
That ! am sorry, and l say
Again. 'I'll never disobey"
i wish ! could this rare bird fnd
That tells such tales when don't mind.

THEATRICAL.

Porter ]. White will present his ver-
sion Of Faust at the Grand opera house
Saturday evening, reappearng in his
favorite role Of "Mephistopheles. Miss
Olgo Verne is the marguerite" The
entire production is literally staged by
Mr.. White with special scenery, proper
tics, electrical apparatus, etc, for each
act. The story of Faust is the embod-
ment of a most remarkable system of
belief which found its elimination in
the Middle Ages. What the effect OF
such a production, hampered though it
were by the insufficient stage effects of
those days, must have had on an audi
ence which faithfully believed 10 witch
craft and actual demoniac poSs ssion
and compacts with the rvII one, W. are
utterly unable to conceive. We laiter
ourselves that We have gotten beyond
all that, but human nature does not
change. Faust is AT once always nid
and always new.

Miss Mildred Holland, who will short
ly play an engagement in Freeland in
her drama, Tho Power Behind tho
Throna," is most versatile young
woman. In THE Power Behind the
Throne" she will be seen as Aria, the
daughter of court musician. In
speaking OF Miss Hollands performance
the Scranton Tribune of December /
said, in part: 1.-The Power Behind
the Throne, founded on Schiller's Love
and Intrigue by Theodore Kremer, was
presented at the Lyceum last night.
The audience was large and received
the drama with every evidence OF favor.
The star, Mildred Holland, received
enthusiastic recalls at the close OF the
third and fourth acts. The latter con-
cluded the play, but the greater part
of those present remained in their seats
until the curtain was raised and the
little woman who invested the role of
Aria with such true realism was re-
vealed, bowing her acknowledgements"
The principal members Of the cast are
Lillian Norris, Francis Brooke, Rita
O'Neal, Frederic Ormonde, Victor de
Silke, Frank Drew, S. A. Rose, L. d.
Wharton, Leonard Walker, Florence
Renner and many others.
