 It is said that this first part borders more on the legitimate, and is farther away from the usual lines pursued in the burlesdue and musical eXtravaganzas. It contains comedy and musical numbers, but the comedy is in the hands of com netent staff of comedians and people who are carefully engaged for the various parts.> It is claimed that the comedians, and, in fact, all the others appearing in the comedy are excellent. The first part is a legitimate comedy with an addition of musical numbers. It is in three acts, and each of them has a pretty stage set ting.
 Following this is a vaudeville olio Of five acts, which the management says will be equally as good as any vaudeville bill ever offered in Birmingham. The acts offer a great variety of amusement, mu- sic and dancing, an acrobatic knockout stunt by team which was only recently imported, two comedians and musical number

they turn their troubles over to law yer.
 In the revised version Maude goes into court and proves that her husband invariably wears a red necktie, thereby giving her many hours of acute suf- fering, and that she can no longer remain under the same roof. So the Court sets her free and enters an order that she shall not be permitted to marry again for two weeks.
 In the meantime, the Judge proves that his wife has been excessively cruel in that she does not always agree with him, and of course he gets his decree.
 Then the judge and Maud get to- gether and take the tall Hurdle hand in hand.

Maud Miller Who Raked the Hay


The Maud Muller kind of Poem has gone into the Discard with the Melo- deon, the Lap-Supper and the Kissing Game.
 What the Fly Public wants now. adays Is Plot and Something Doing.
 What is there in the whole Maud Muller business when you come to sift it right down and analyze it according to the methods of Modern Criticism? It seems that Maud Muller was out in the field trying to be a full hand and save her father some money. We find accurate pictures of her in the old Gift Book She was barefooted and her hair was let out to dry. Evi- dently she had been washing it. She had round, shiny face and the fine. large belladonna eyes of the Anna Held variety.
 She sang as she worked until she happened to glance at the far off town, when she experienced a vague longing to discontinue manual, labor and move into the city. This same symptom, prevailing to the present day, accounts for the large supply of Manicures.
 At this point the Judge comes by on horseback He is supposed to be a very rich man. At the time the poem was written judges were get ting as high as twelve hundred dollars year, and the query immediately sug- gests itself to the reader of the pres ent day-did he have some side line of graft?
 At any rate he was rich-therefore dsreputable.
 He pulled up in the shade of the old apple tre and asked the girl to bring him a drink of water. It might

 He would return the Ms. to the Au- thor and suggest a few changes in order to make the story more Snappy and give the Artist a chance at some cracking good Pictures. By the time he got through doctoring up the Ro- nance it would run about as follows:
 Maude, with an ''e," as type of the Progressive New Woman, is in the hay field, directing the operations of a large gang of workmen, when the Judge comes by in 60 H. F. motor car.
 The Judge has become immensely wealthy while acting as a tool of the Corporate Interests that are slowly but surely sucking the life blood of the Republic. The Judge is the embodi- ment of the pernicious System, what ever that is.

tenn stretching from coast 10 coast and gulf to gulf-this Is the ambition of r. H. Hartman.
 Nine years ago almost to day the Un- ion Pacific railroad, which has made these plans possible, bankrupt and discredited, went under the hammer at Omaha. It was purchased by a syndicate of New York bankers the guiding genius of which was MT Hartman.
 In tho correlation of railroad systems which MT. Hartman is bringing about he brings to fruition the ambitions which fired some of the great railroad geniuses of a generation ago.
 MT. Harriman's scheme appears to be nothing new The newness is. his efforts have met with success thus far. Nearly forty years since a writer of worldwide prominence said in the North American Review: "A very few years hence we shall see great corporations spanning the continent from ocean 10 oeeau-single con soidated lines not connecting Albany with Buffalo or Lake Erie with the Hudson, but uniting the Atlantic and Pacific.

 Right in line with this Thomas A Scott tried 10 make the Union Paeihc the west ern division of the Pennsyiyania Central, and the late Horace F. Clark secured con trol and the presidency. and sought to make the Union Pacific the western llnK of the Vanderbilt system.
 The story of the Union Pacific under Hartman rule is the story of bankrupled and diseredted roads made prosperous, powerful and militant They have Tn eight short years pursued policy or growth, which for boldness, persistency and scope. attended with great success, has no parallel in theshistory of the finan- cial world.

 Some forty summers ago every sen itilental Sarah in the whole country kept in her room a Gift-Book contain. ing the verses about Maud in the nay field and the Judge riding by on his crestnut horse. It was a simple yarn, but sadly sweet withal.
 When a Belle of the sixties retired to her yappy little Boudoir with the cardboard Notices, the kerosene lamp and the handworked Shams, she al ways had to read about Maud and her hard Finish before she could sink back into the Feathers.
 First she would remove the stingy little Hat that usually had one rooster feather in it and was worn tilted over the right eye.
 Then she would loosen up the Net, and the Chignon and the Waterfall, and carefully put away the Cameo, Brooch, weighing one-half pound.
 Then she would take off the queer Caters that had Elastics on the side. Also the Bead Bracelets.
 She would back out of the Velvet Basque and climb over the Hoops and divest herself of various Garments made famous by Gobey's Lady's Maga- zine, after which she would be ready for her evening dose of Maud Muller.

Then both of them sit around reflect ing on the old couplet: 3t4 a.as "Of all sad words of tongue or pen.' The saddest are these, it might have
 been."
 Only they shift it around after awhile to read as follows: Of all glad words now set to verse "The gladdest are these, It might have
 been worse."

 Very often she would sit around dur ing the long, lonesome evenings, with nothing to read but the agricultural papers, and try to imagine what might have been if she had made a little stronger play for the Judge.
 That is the end of the story. There is nothing more to it.
 Suppose that some Whittier of today should write this kind of story and send it to the editor of brisk little magazine that guarantees you many jingle for your ten-cent piece.

 It was evident that Maud really loved the Judge.
 As for the Judge, he looked back from a hill and saw her still soldering and gazing at him and said: 'She looks all right to me. If I could get some girl like that, me for quiet place in the country. But l don't think my family would stand for her."
 So the Judge rode on into the town and back to the Court House, while Maud stood around, thinking of hipi. until she was caught in tae rain.
 He married rich wife who travelel with the highrollers, and often at night when he was waiting for her to come home he would gaze into the fire and wish that he could get out of it with out having his picture in the papers.
 Sometimes he wondered why he hadn't played few return dates with the good locker that brought him the water.

 In fact, Maude begins hitting The most elevated spots.

 The Judge falls out of the machine and Maude Muller has him carried into the house. whereupon he calls for drink.
