A southern senator WAS at one time
rounsel for small railroad. At a
noint on the line where ii crossed a
prominent highway they had an old
negro watchman, whoseAuties consist

Of course sued for damages, and at the
trial the old darky was the chief wit
ness for his employers. He answered
the questions put to him In clear. di-
rect manner. Among them was the
nuery as to whether he surely swung
his lantern across the road when he
saw the train coming, to which he re
piled:
"'Deed did, sab"
The railroad company won the suit,
and the senator took occasion later 10

1t may have been because Harry Won
Tilzer sat in one of the lower boxes yes
terday afternoon that Sam Rice and other
members of the Topsy Turvy Burlesque
Company were so lively Won Tilzer
seemed TO enjoy the distinction and led the
applause. This was very noticeable when
frankie Emmett sang one of his songs.
About the only persons in the show who
played to those in the pit and other parts
of the house outside of Won Tilzer's box
were Keno, Welch and Melrose, in a
funny acrobatic sketch. This troupe has
not been here for two years, but its work
has not been forgotten. Keno especially
since their last appearance, have used
their brains to some extent and thought
out new material
The show opens with burlesque en-
titled Champagne Charlie" Sam Rice in
this part uses much of his old but orig
inal sayings and manners and is still a
funny man. In the opening burletta the
chorus is large and well costumed. The
members have new songs and sing them
well. frankie Emmett in a grotesque
costume in the burlesque, does a smart
sketch with dog. Burt Fuller, in black
face, recites a tiresome monologue.
Eleanor Revere and George Cunningham
have ''sster act in which gorgeous cos
and Aleene retain their old sketch, "Dobbs
of Dobbs Ferry" The show closes with
another burlesque, Foxy Grandpa's Pic
nic.' in which pretty costumes and good
singing predominant. Sam Rice has the
principal part.

play accurately in quartet until they try
too ragged ragtime which tangles them.
and generally they DO just well enough
to show how much better results they
could get with the use of discretion. They
blow so hard that they deafen their au-
dience. besides spelling their tones. More
attention to melody, less vigor and a better
grade of music would put this musical act
away up In the list. II probably would not
get this far west of New York then.
Miss Madge Fox has nothing new to
show except flicker dance. and IL is new
only in that she has not done IL before.
She Sings scraps of ragtime songs dances
spasmodically and turns cartwheels and
somersaults. Her turn is almost as dreary
as George b. Alexander's. He. dressed as
a tramp, reels off lot of jokes. some of
which are vulgar. and then sings sacred
song. This serious song is sung before a
picture OF the front of a church. The
church door drops and reveals a girl
dressed in white. She joins In the song
and sings as badly as does the man.
Alexanders turn Is second on the bill,
and IL one escapes him one misses the
act of Phil. Nettie and Eddie Peters. which
is the first number. Phil and Nettie have
been on the stage for a long time and
their style is of the old-fashioned variety
sort. but their comedy is good for its kind.
Eddie has boyish soprano voice of good
quality, but he is not able to direct it well,
and he has been taught to make wooden
gestures. He should keep his arms still
and be careful about his tones.
One of the bioscopes picture is a vivid
representation of an eruption OF Mont

Audiences at the Grand applaud two
sketches stamped with originality and in
telligence in this weeks bill of vaudeville.
One of them, "The Rent Collector" offered
by Weston and Allen. is loosely construct
ed, but there is lot of fun in it, and it
has a full set of scenery. Allen is a very
good grotesque dancer and a natural
comedian. Weston is carefully clever and
contributes his fair share OF the work.
Tempted by applause they issue a supple
ment TO their sketch that is not well put
together and drags. The second sketch is

serts coon" music for an Irish song She
has, besides, string of stories with points
and she tells them brightly. She has no
singing voice. but she has a pleasant per-
sonality and a quick wit.

The old, horrible-example play, 'Ten

In school Days.

Still sits the schoolhouse by the road.
A ragged beggar summing;
Around Ii still the sumachs grow
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen.
Deep SCARED by raps official;
The warping floor. the battered seats.
The jack-knife's carved initial
The charcoal frescoes on its wall:
Its doors worn sill betraying
The feet that creeping SLOW to school,
Went storming out TO playingi
Long years ago a winter sun
Shone over IL at setting:
Lit no its western window panes
And low caves icy fretting
1t touched the tangled golden curls.
And brown eyes full OF grieving
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little bow
Her childish favor singled:
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left. he fingered
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes: he felt
The soft hands light caressing
And heard the tremble Of her voice
AS IL a fault confessing.
I'm sorry that spelt the word:
hate TO go above you.
Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see. love you,''
Stin memory 70 a gray-haired man
That sweet child face Is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives 10 learn, In life's hard school.
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss
Like her-hecause they love him.
John q. Whittier.
