A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alas! the world has gone awry
Since Cousin Lillian entered college,
For she has grown so learned,
Oft tremble at her wondrous knowl-
edge
Whene'er / date to WOO her now,
She frowns that l should so annoy
her,
And then proclaims with, lofty brow,
Her mission is to be. a lawyer.
Life glides no more on golden wings,
A sunny wait from Eldorado;
I'VE learned how true the poet sings
That coming sorrow cast its shadow.
When tutti-frutti lost its spell,
| felt some hidden grief impended,
When she declined a caramel,
knew my rosy dream had ended.
She paints no more on china PLAQUES
With tints that would have crazed
Murillo, -
Strange birds that never plumed their
backs -
When Father Noah braved the bill
low
Her fancy limns with brighter brush.
The splendid triumphs that await
her,
When in the court, breathless hush
Gives homage to the keen debater.
IT'S sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blue as Scotland heath
err,
IT'S sad a maid with cheeks of rose
Should have her heart bound up to
leather.
Ills sad to keep ones passion pent,
Though Pallas' arms the fair environ,

company, whose unusual excellence
contributes largely to the pleasing
manner in which the piece is pro-
duced.

peared before the public in Shakespear-
can roles, and his impersonation of
"Benedick,' a yourg gentleman of Pa
Qua, evidences his pronounced ability
in portraying the characters made ia
mouse through the works of the Bard
of Avon"
Miss Marie Drofnah, his leading lady,
who plays the part of Beatrice" is an
actress of marked talent. The pleas
ing manner in which she handles the
role won for her immediate favor.

Is rightfully entitled to praise, for he
reads his lines in a superb manner. Mr..
Duggan, as Don Pedro MIR. White.
as "Leonata,' Mr.. Hoffman as
'Balthazer," and Mr.. Bebee as Don
john all deserve commentator for
their excellent renditions of the roles
they assumed.
Among the ladies of the company.
Miss Curry as Hero" and Miss Per-
son as Margaret" are excellently
cast.
Mr.. Hanford gives his personal at
tention to the properties, and the
stage settings, as well as the hand
some costuming of all the characters
in the play reflects a wise selection.
for they are in strict keeping with the
locals of the play. and elected the
most favorable comment.
At the matinee, The Tanning the

enjoyable than the night performance.
The major piece was preceded by the
clever one-act curtain raiser The Old
