Unanimous verdict.

From our many articles the past few
weeks received from various sources it
will be seen that the comedy isroe,"A
Wise Woman" is a strictly first-Class
attraction, with more originality and
novel features than any company that
has yet visited us. 1t remains to be
seen how they will be appreciated.

The Wise Peasant.

One night as the Peasant was sound
ly sleeping he was aroused by knock
on the door, and when he asked who
called a voice replied
20 Peasant, l beg the loan of thy
lantern FOR few minutes.
Hast lost something in the dark
ness ?" was asked.
NAY, not that, | am thief and
have come for thy Goat, but | require
a lantern to light up the stable"
"You shall have it with cheer, and
you may leave it outside the door as
you go away"
The Peasants wife began upbraid-
ing him that be should assist to steal
his own property, but he turned to her
and commanded
"Silence, woman Firstly, | am no
match for thief who has doubtless
come armed to attack or defend sec
ondly, the Ass and the Goat are sta
bled side by side, and did not lend
my lantern the thief might get the
Ass by mistake. sm not the hlest
man in the county, but do know the
difference between three-dollar Goat
and "a thirty. dollar Ass"

Afraid He'd Spoil.

A party of tourists on an overland
train while approaching the Great
American Desert the past summer
were almost overcome by the extreme
heat and dust, and in short while
the ice coolers in the coaches were
emptied, and every particle Of ice re.
moved from the receptacles. As the
heat and dust became more intense,
one gentleman arose and said II will
give dollar for small piece Of ice"
Immediately behind him was a be-
whiskered gentleman in low.crowned
derby hat. Upon hearing the offer
made, the latter at once proceeded TO
the front Of the train, and in few
minutes returned with a piece Of ice
in bis hand. Here's your ice, be
said. Heres your dollar, and thank
you, replied the other. A second
offer Of dollar was made by another
man, and, after making a second trip
TO the front Of the train, the individ-
ual, always ready to drive bargain,
served this person likewise, and col.
lected the coin. Finally a third, and
then full dozen persons clamored for
the ice, each Offering a dollar aud
some as high as two dollars for a piece
Of the frozen substance. The be.
wbiskered gentleman with the funny
hat did not anticipate any such rush
as this, aDd the insistence Of the pas
sengers caused him TO remark, sagely:
Ladies and gentlemen, like 10
accommodate NIT all Of you; but I'm
afraid mitout ice up 10 front mine
brother-in-law will sphoil."

The Shah and the Dentist.

A good story is being told in Paris
of the Shah, which savors more Of
previous monarchs than Of the pres
ent occupant Of the Persian throne.
When he went over to France the
Shah suffered from toothacbe and so
a dentist was summoned to remove the
offending tooth. But, like less-exslted
mortals, the Shah, when he found
himself face to face with the dentist,
discovered that his toothache had dis
appeared and so absolutely refused to
be operated on. However, his Ma
iesty declared that he did not wish
the dentist TO lose his time and so COM
manded that tooth be exacted from
each Of his suite. He said this with
his eyes fixed on the ground, and then,
suddenly looking up, found to his in
tense amusement that all bis ministers
and staff had quietly slipped away
except the Grand Vizier, whom he
complimented upon being the only
one faithful enough to undergo lit
tie discomfort for his sovereign's sake,
and then dismissed the dentist with a
present.

A Rattlesnake Chorus.


"Yes, sill" said the old plainsman,
as he stood before den of rattlers at
the zoo, 81 don't allow there's a more
interestin reptile s-goin' than this
here same breed. There is those as
places the entellect of the rattlesnake
on a low order, an l don't know as
they have as good workin' brain as
Gila monster or a tarantular, but I
do know this: Their appreciation of
the art of music is profound an stir
rim They takes to il like one Of
these here Wagner fellows does to a
Theodore Thomas concert. An
they re smart to learn, lemme tell you.
up to Routt county Colorado, where
! come from, thereis most rattlesnakes
an sagebrush an few people huntin'.
! remember party OF hunters passin.
that-a-way last fall. In the evenin's
they set about the camp singin an
there was some mandolins along.
Three or four times the party Was
scairt out by snakes that crept into
camp to hear the music, though they
should a-known better'n to be, for
there's no harm in rattler when
there's music goiu'.
But that amt the curious part Of
the tale which I'm unfoldin. ] was
along that place some time after the
campers broke up and was attracted
by low musical sound from behind
the bowlder. Known somethin' Of
tunes, | was sprised to catch the
chorus OF one OF the coon songs that
had been popular with the campers.
1t was the one they call Amt That
Shsme?' Ponderin over il, crept up
on top Of the bowlder and looked
over at some fat rocks on the other
side. 1t was sight never to forgit.
A chorus of ten rattlers had their
tails in the air an was poundin' out
the song for all they was worth lay
there fascinated and, by ginger, be-
fore they got through they done The
Holy City an Go Way Back and
Sit Down as wells | ever hearn em
done. Kill emp 'Twould been a
crime to break up a musical family
like that.
