the best members of the two Organi-
cations have been drawn together to
insure Il more perfect performance
than that of last year. The farce is
now in its fourth year. and while the
title might lead one to think that the
farce would prove interesting to only
those versed in the mysteries of Mas
onry. yet theatre goers totally ignor-
ant of ritualiStic methods have been
able to appreciate the clever situations
constructed around the central idea of
O., man purporting to join the Masons
when in reality he has not. Various
sub and counter plots lend 70 the gen.
eral effect and a clever love story
completes one of the most artfully
constructed farces of the present day.

owns have dealt generously with the
presentation and Manager r. J. Nixon

Mrs. Botkin was tried, convicted and
sentenced to prison for life.
A new trial was obtained on a tech
nicality. The date for the trial has
been postponed innumerable times and
, consequent advantage to the accused
las resulted. Through the Delaware
witnesses have signified their willing
less to come again TO California to tes-
tify in the case their testimony will be
greatly weakened by the death of ex-
Congressman Pennington. who was one
of the chief witnesses for the protec-
ton. There has also been mix-up
in regard to the candy box. which in
dicates that it can no longer be used
in evidence with any potency. In
view of these facts it is generally re-
garded as probable that Mrs. BOtkin
may soon be free woman.

The Busy Mother.

There was woman in our town
Who had six children small.
She needs must plan from morn to
night
And ne'er could rest at all
SO when a pair of twins were sent
The family to complete.
She thought. "They'n give a lot Of
Although they are SO sweet"
Then more and more she planned
and schemed
And did the best she could
To keep the children all in health
And teach them to be good.
The time went by. the mothers cares
Were lessened day by day.
Until at last she felt no more
Like fainting by the way
Now | suspect you know of whom
I've spoken in these rhymes,
Perhaps you've seen us all down
town
At least dozen times.
Kind people tell me that my toll
Win not have been in vain.
An e'er affirm that I. to heaven
Shall easy access gain.
But after all" I ask myself.
What does the Bible say?
Will all my work and all my cares
Wash cen one sin away
No. No, Gods Book tells me to trust
In Jesus crucifed.
His work is perfect mine is not.
I'll live because He died.
