The Country SchoOIhouse.
Prom the Youths Companion

rAoIh the 1ouJn companion.
The little country schoolhouse-you
remember it; of course you do!
Within the angle snugly set,
Where two long yellow highways met,
And saplings planted here and there
About the yard. and boxed with care
As if to typify, in turn.
The youngsters caught and Gagged, to
learn.
Around the rolling pastures spread,
With woodland patches garlanded.
From which the breezes gladly bore
Sly invitations to the door.
Across the stills the bees soft hum
was mingled with the muttered sum,
And from their covert in the vale
In plaintlVe pleading piped the quail.
With basket and with pail equipped.
Clear eyed, tan checked and berry lip
ped,
Athwart the pastures, down the road
They trudged to learning's poor abode,
The pink sunbonnet broad brimmed
straw;
The bare brown feet that knew no law
OF fashions last; the bundled forms
mat laughed aloud at cold and storms
What tales the scared desks might
OF triumphs gained with book and
slate!
What lore the clapboards loose possess
OF feats at noontime and recess,
And doomed how oft the panes To
see.
Back up the road, and DER the lea.
Haste boy and girl new worlds 10
find.
The little schoolhouse left behind.
Oh. little country school! In vain
May critics hold you in disdain.
The greatest lessons that you taught
Were, not by chalk and pencil wrought
As oped your door on fields and sky
So likewise just as wide and high.
You opened TO the eyes of youth
The principles Of love and truth,

If it is true, as alleged. that Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Shaw forced the
resignation from office of a friend of
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, then
there is doubtless a basis for the ru-
NOR that the Secretary will shortly
retire from the Cabinet. The President
might be inclined to overlook a great

friend of Lodges, that is carrying

Representative McGlennon of the
New Jersey Legislature thinks
the railroads ought to be compelled to
carry lawmakers free on their trains.
He got on Pennsylvania Railroad
train and proffered his certificate of
election to the conductor in lieu of
ticket or pass. That fHnctionary in
formed him that certificates of election
were not recognized on his road, and
that the lawmaker would have to pay
or get off. He refused to pay, and
was put off at the next station. Nc

Fire was discovered early Sunday morn

Fox at the Concord apartment house. On
New Hampshire and Oregon avenues north
west. Mrs Fox was burned slightly about
the arms and shoulders and the damage to
her furniture, etc, was estimated at about

climbed out of the window and down the

hall and gave the alarm.
A number of occupants of other apart-
ments were awakened and fed in their
sleeping gowns. The fire department arriv-

blaze to the closet, but some costly bric-a-

Chase's Theater.

A particularly well-balanced and effective
bill was presented at Chase's last evening
to an audience that packed the theater and
occupied all available standing room.
Hermann, the Great was tie principal
feature. His new trick, that of clock, the
hands of which stop ut any point at the
command of the wizard, is perhaps the star
oe his performance, though his list included
twelve distinct features and concluded with
the remarkable disappearing "Bride-elect.'
Kathryn Osterman, who played with G..
Roland Sergeant a sketch of marital in
.felicities ending happily, was extremely ac-
ceptable. It was the second performance
Of this act by Miss Osterman, and both she
and her associate were commendable in
their work. The story Is somewhat far
fetched but the dialogue bright and the
ending satisfactory, espe cially to wives.
Louise Dresser, the girl from the Wa
bash,' contributed three songs in good
style, and Charles Barry and Hulda Hal
vers, who are popular in eccentric comedy,
introduced lively sketch. Jack Norworth
amused tie audience and received the
greatest welcome of the evening. His sing
ing of new local verses to "a Solemn Look
ing, Wise Old OWL made great hit.
Dorsch and Russell the switch-tender and
the tramp musician, backed by effective
scenery did a good musical turn.

witness the performances of Spencer and
Aborns Hearts Adrift.'' The program
notes that it is a stirring scenic melodrama
and the statement Is truthfuily made, there
being no end Of action ard narrow escapes.

story concerns a young business man and
his love for a poor, but refined flower girl.

1t was manipulated. The cast is headed by
E. L. Snader in the role of detective. He

TOURNAMENT AND BALL.
Exercises at Suitland Conducted by
Knights of st. Ignatius Parish.

Knights of st. Ignatius Parish.
The Knights of ST. Ignatius' Church, at
Oxon Hill, Md, held their annual tourna-
ment and ball yesterday at Suitland Park.
The occasion proved to be most success
ful and enjoyable one in every respect and
the attendance was unusually large. A
special feature was the good music render
ed by portion of the Marine Band, under
the leadership of ]. Taylor Branson.
The following were the successful knights,
who were entitled to crown queens of love
and beauty and name their maids of honor:
W. L. Heron, Knight of Washington Boy,

T Il E TIL Err.
Lafayette Theater.

An audience Of fair proportions greeted
Mr.. Howard Kyle, a new star. at the La
fayette Theater last night. Mr.. Kyle has
the popular romantic actor, Mr.. James X.
Hackett as his sponsor, and the play, which
Is entitled ION the Yellowstone" is de-
scrfbed on the program as being suggested
by Frederic Remington's sketches of the
west. Mr.. Kyle is distinguished by melo-
diousness of voice and a graceful, albeit
somewhat studied demeanor. His role Is
that of young white man who is reared
among Indians and who after falling in
love with the daughter of the major at a
frontier post, proves his courage and also
his parentage and is, therefore, found
worthy to live happily after the curtain
falls on the last act. The story possesses
strong romantic qualities and some of the
situations are ingenious1y approached
though not very dextrously handled in the
performance. The leading part, John Err
mine, is chara eterized by some exception
ally well-written lines, which Mr.. Kyle de-
livers with good effect.
There was a lack of attention to detail
in last nights presentation, which inter-
fered with the full development of the dra-
matte possibilities. In the course of fur
deemed wise to bestow, an affront to the
social sense in military circles might be
avoided by modifying the barefaced frta
ton which occurs between the captains
daughter and a sergeant. The author
should either promote the sergeant or re-
duce the social status of the young woman.
There are numerous points in the method
of handling troops which would scarcely
meet with the approval of military
critic. One of the best things in the per-
Torrance is the character study of Cana
dian half breed by Albert Parry. The
scenery is beautiful and complete, the for
est home of John Ermine and the camp on
the prairie being represented with excep
tional richness of coloring and fineness Of
detail.

Close of the Excursion Season,

The excursion season on the Potomac
river between Washington and the nearby
resorts will end with this week, and by
the middle of the month the steamers that
have been teemtng with life and gayety for
the past three or four months will be silent
and deserted. The last of the regular en-
cursion trips to River View will be the
outing of Almas Temple of the Mystic
Shrine tomorrow, and the steamer Pentz
Will afterward be laid up at her wharf

ers will make their last trips Sunday next.
The season at Marshall Hall ended with

will continue to there until she is
withdrawn from the route in the winter.
The River Queen and Jane Moseley have
but a few more trips to make.
The ending of the excursion season means
the laying off of a large force of steam
boat men, who seek other employment Tor
the winter.
