Davidson Theater. I went with a party
OF friends, and you may remember that
dreadful shooting of cannon, that filled
the theater SO full of smoke after one
act that the audience was almost choked.

was a good deal of excitement in

the galleys of Tiberius from the bottom
of Lake Nemi, where they have lain sub

situated in the Alban hills. The inn

HIS FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL.

A pair Of mittens, warm and red,
New shoes that had shiny toes.
A velvet cap for his curly head,
And a tic Of palest rose;
A bag Of books, a twelveinch rule,
And the daintiest hands in own
These were the things that went to school
With William Herbert Brown.
A ragged mitten without a thumb,
Two shoes that were scorched at the toes,
A head that whirled with the dizzy hum

And the dingiest hands in town
