A WISH.

To a Two-Weeks-OId Baby Boy. If one were choosing out the ways
 He'd like to have you tread, If one were picking out the skies
 To arch above your head, No doubt he'd pick the same old ways And skies the same bright blue, As those old ways and those blue skies That his own boyhood knew. And SO I wish for you the things think may bring you joy; That you may be a harum-scarum, Good old-faghioned boy; That you may. where the placid branch Lies wimpling in the sun, Shuok off your duds and swim and have Some good old-fashioned fun. That you may climb the wooded hills. And find @ grapevine swing; That you may know and mock the tunes Of all the birds that sing; .} That you may find a sweetheart wee, And take your knife and mark Her name and yours, heart-bordered, in Some craggy oak trees bark. For if you know not things like these, These good d-fashioned joys, The good old ways and things we loved When we were little boys, Manhood won't mean so much to yods Nor be so full of joy;
 And so just wish you may be ..- A good oldfashfoned boy. U. M. Lewis, in Houston Post.

HELLO RILL.n

So good an impression did this live ly farce make when presented at Poli's on Wednesday evening that the local management secured a return engage ment for this afternoon and evening. To those persons who want to spend a jolly evening as an afterlude to Thanksgiving this Hello Bill" per- formance will certainly offer all oppor tunity. It is a great bit of fun, and any audience has few minutes of ces- sation from laughter while watching it. Prices are %, 35, 50 and 75 cents. VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The Girl with the Auburn Hair drew large audiences of interested peo- pie to the Jacques yesterday, and those that were in attendance pro- nounced it the most satisfactory Thanksgiving in the history of this the ater. It is certainly refreshing to realize that an act which came to Wa terbury with the seal of general ap- proval all over the country should be found so much to the liking of local au- diences; and 1t would be decidedly strange if Waterbury should not en- dorse the general American verdict that the Girl with the Auburn Hair is perhaps the most unique novelty that American vaudeville has pro duced. Persons who have not yet seen her and the beautifully impress sive cathedral act she presents should make it a point to visit the Jacques before the close of the engagement to- morrow evening. The rest of the show, too, Is of kind to satisfy the most exacting, the bill being splen- didly smooth and harmonious one throughout. Next week Manager Poli sends us the gorgeous Papinta, whose marvellous spectacular dances have kept Europe and America in a ferment for years. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10
