"Blue Grass of old Kentuck" the
the opening bill of the Murray &
Mackey Big Comedy company" Is
said to be one of the best Comedy
Dramas ever seen In this country
In the last three decades. 1t Is the
most original play on the boards
today. 1t never grows tiresome,
and never allows the interest to
once flag, but holds the audience
entranced to the last. 1t always
touches the chord of human sym
pathy and human justice. There
Is nothing old or worn out about 1t,
and nothing that enables the audi
ence to anticipate what Is coming
next. The play appeals to all and
Is heart story, around which the
plot runs, Is tender and beautiful,
yet original. The scenery and
stage settings are all original and
correct In every detail.
The play throughout Is the most
original ard interesting that will
be seen here In a long time.

"Father," said little boy to his

a curse on his soul if he failed to win a
bet, "father, are you willing that God
should take you at your word?

man; "no, mop

Your Own Boss.

Selected.
Now ard then hear boy say eff
I could only be my own boss, then I

Did you ever know anyone, that
amounted to much, who was his own
boss? The only one that I ever read
about was Robinson Crusoe, and he
was glad to quit.
You have heard of the "independent
farmer" He is dependent upon wind,
water and frost. He must be at home
every morning and night to milk the
COWS. The physician must buy his
clothes and groceries of his patients.
Do you think that Marshall Field,
the great merchant, is independent

around on his back. He would be un-

There is one way, however, OF te'

THE PARLoR.

Joseph c. Lincoln in Saturday Evening Post.
The Kitchens where the cookies are
and other stuff to eat,
And you can fool around in there and
dance and scrof your feet;
The dlnin' room is light and bright
and kind Of "eyery day.
And, when it rains or SHOWS oustide, a
bully place to play;
The settin-room is best of all, with
lamps and books and plants,
And chairs q chap can curl up in with
out the "dont's" and "can'ts;"
The bedrooms well, they don't count
much ezeept at night, you see.
Bul say the best front parlor-that's 3
the room that worries me.
It's shut up almost e.! the week, the
shades are pulls jo2.n tight,
The blinds-are closed and it's as dark,
almost, as II twas night;
And If you do peep in you see the
what-not shells in rows,
The album and that picture thing you
hold against yotr nose;
The organ and the sofa, too, the chairs
all slttin' round,
Each just exactly straight as it twas
planted in the ground;
And every blessed thing that's there
seems just as if it said:
"Come in, my boy, but keep real still,
cause all creations dead"
When Sunday comes it's opened up,
but there's no comfort then,
And you keep wishing all the time
they'd shut 1t up again.
You mustn't make the organ go, nor
move the furniture,
You can't lay down because your boots
will spoil the sofa sure.
You mustn't rock the patent chair,
cause somethin' on it's broke
And sounds like cats that want to sing,
but cant because they choke
You mustn't touch the what-not stuff,
nor blow the pampas grass,
Nor look out OF the window, cause
your breath smokes up the glass.
The other rooms you understand
you're living in them now;
But that old parlor, sakes alive What
is it, anyhow?
It's grand and fine, I s'pose, and suits
the minister and such,
And p'raps it's Just the place to keep
the things you mustn't touch.
And maybe Sunday ought to be day
when no ones glad,
But l don't see why bein' good should
make you feel so sad
And when get to be a man, ind rich,
there amt a doubt
That in the house I build they'll leave
the best front parlor out.
