" Peggy from Paris"

George Ade is the author of the
musical play Peggy from Paris.
which will come to the Opera House
next Saturday, May 6, and it contains
some of the cleverest wit of that cele-
brated hurlorist and his brightness
and satire are constant and unfailing.
One of the early hits in the play is an
ode to an oyster stew. Therein Mr..
AIDE voices the memory of boyhood
misery. Mr.. AIDE has spent his youth
on farm in Indiana. The commun-
ity in which he lived was public spirit
ed in way. also social. and both pub
lie spirit and sociability found express
sion in oyster suppers. If the village
wanted to raise money for an enter
prise they got up an oyster supper: if
the church needed anything. an oyster
supper was arranged to raise the fund
whenever anybody gave party the
refreshments were always sure to in
clude an oyster stew. Young AIDE
suffered from this oyster stew habit,

His family was public spirited and felt
that 1t ought to contribute to all pub
lie needs, therefore must partonize the
oyster suppers. None of the other
members went often, but George was
sent as tie family representative. He
was a social favorite, too, so he was
invited to the oyster Suppers. He
declares that the oyster Stews of those
days consisted of a little milk in lot

S. T. Stilkey has recently purchased
another pair of driving horses. which
he thinks are just a little the trap
piest pair in town. They are golden
chcstnuts. 5 years old. stand 1913, and
weigh POO. When it comes to looks,
they are as nearly alike as two peas.
The pair is made IN of a mare and a
gelding. the mare being sired by Ster-
ling. out of dam by Bay Fearnaught.
and the gelding by Alclayone. 2.20A by
Alcyone. out of dam by Warrior
Wilkes. by Alectus. by Alcantara. The
mare was purchased at NOrridgewock'
and her mate at Rumford Falls. The
two animals look alike. act alike, and
can show a 3-minute clip to the pole
any day. They are probably the high
est actors in the city.
