Georgia Mlnstrels,

No minstrel show ever made a tour of
the country and received as many fav-
orable comments, both from the press
and public, as was given last season to
Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia
Minstrels. You could hear it on the
streets, in hotels, on the train, in fact
everywhere, the good things that were
being said of the performance; the band
also came in for their share of praise.
The management promises this season
as good, if not a better show than ever
they have retained the leading members
from last year, and added a lot of new
ines that are said to be exceptionally
clever artists. They will appear at the
opera house on Friday, June 10.

A Trip to M. J. BaIley's Lumber Camp.

a IT'D TO M y. balley huLuDer CaInp.
We rode with Mr.. Met-a-calf
And kept him gay with our song and chat,
And snatcheS OF verses here and there
Were selected with greatest care,
We rode securely on the reach
And heard DER head the eagle screach.
And when often into a hole we went,
We to our feelings gave no vent,
But smiled and brayelr bore 1t all,
Lest We couldn't come again i'll the fall.
Soon mid the jack pines did appear,
The boarding house which looked quite queer.
Luckily we met no ghOStcss,
But soon were met by the jolly hostess,
Whose face was as bright us a day I'm June,
And who made us feel at home quite soon.
And soon We were seated at a table,
Where we ate rs much us we were able.
Then we switched the water, washed dishes,
Obtaining Mrs. Strlckland's good wishes.
We engaged ourselves III a gaIne OF crOquet,
And pleasantly passed the close of the day.
Then in good season we went 10 our beds
With drowSy feelings IN our heads.
But il seemed no sooner were we asleep
Than the sun thro the curtains began To peep.
We did not say Gas you nave read
Wen have ten minutes more IN bed,
But at the sharp ding, ding OF the gong,
To Il beautiful breakfast we hurried along.
Breakfast over and the dishes done,
We set out, but without any gun.
We started out for the beauties with SDeckles,
But all we got was tan and freckleS,
Some beautiful flowers and pine-laden air,
Which made us wish we could always be there
We took our way with a vim and a will
To "A shady nook upon the hill.
There with q downy pillow under each head,
And heavy cloakS beneath us spread,
We repoSed on ilowery beds OF ease
Beneath the shady jack-pine trees.
Our hunger soon warned us again it was noon,
But we thought the morn had passed too SOON.
However we took up the march again
To eat our dinner up in the glen.
Thu meal by the spring tasted so good
we wished we could always live In the wood.
AS we reclined by the bubbling babbling brook,
We wished very much for a pencil and book
In which to record our poetic thOt
Which the murmuring water brought.
m gazing nj the soft clouds over head,
Rejoicing to live and that we were not dead.

"Do 1t Today


The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off It'll tomorrow what you can do to-
day." is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it to-day" That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for sew
eral days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it today-and let
that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and it's continued use for a few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even if dread
consu mption has attacked your lungs
German Syrup will surely effect a cure
as it has done before in thousands of APP
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
