have blown out.

"An American Hobo" is the unique
title of a show that soaked up the
heat at the Illinois last night. As the
name suggests, the hero of the play
is Il Weary Willie. He is in the mid
die of all the trouble, and does all the
fine work from saving the girl from
her angry father to disclosing the
family skeleton. He is wonder, and
makes a great hit with the boys in
the peanut gallery. The features of
the performance were the dancing of
the soubrette--a little woman who de-
serves to be in better company-and
the music of the orchestra.

from death by suffocation in their

and while there a car inspector dis
covered a quantity of ice at the
mouth of the exhaust steam pipe.
Thinking the pipe was frozen up, the
inspector thawed it out with his torch
and unknowingly ignited the sawdust
and shavings between the two floors

miles outside of Mcmillan smoke was

And depth Of olive glade:
There on thy high green pastures
The shepherds watch their sheep,
The low large moon shines glinmering
Der all the upland steep.
What music of the heavens
What magic song OF bliss
what vision Of the night-tlde-
what mystic light is this:
The silly sheep are blinded.
The shepherds in amaze
Stand awestrucn, all the hillside
With glory is ablaze!
The angels joyous chorus
Rings out into the night,
o Gloria in Excelsis!
Sing praises IN the height.
Sing praises, men Of Bethlehem.
Sing praises here below.
For peace on earth and goodwill
He doth on you bestow.
on this day is born there
Within your little town
A child who Christ the Lord Is
Yet wears no earthly crown:
lie bringeth joy and g~ladness
To you and all mankind.
Yea, peace on earth and goodwill
To men OF equal mind.
o blessed town Of Bethlehem.
How happy IS thy state.
