Miss Phoebe says ii Il not right
Upon the road OF anthracite
To have to shut the windows tight,
Or spoil her suit Of spotless white,
When going through the tunnel
It also makes the time so slow,
The trains ali going in one row;
ds's nos good form, now, don't you know
70 thus delay Miss Phoebe Snow
BY going through the tunnel
SO, please let in the sky so blue.
And widen, BY track Or two,
That we may do thing quite new
By going fast. and on time, too,
When once there is no tunnel.
These lines about Miss Phoebe Snow
We're written when the time went slow
Waiting word for the train to go
And join the slow and single row
For going through the tunnel.

Reuben r. Brooks, better known as
Ruby Brooks, the professional banjo
player, and as an exponent Of the
musical possibilities of that instru-
ment perhaps the best known in this
country, died on Saturday from can
Ger in the New York Hospital. Brooks
was a member Of Brooks and Denton,
team that made fame for themselves
all oyer this country, and abroad as
we'll. Brooks was born in Stamford
Conn.,, and was forty-tiye years old.
He picked up the banjo when boy
and taught himself. Banjo playing
had reached the height Of its craze
when he came to New York and en-
tered as one of the contestants in the
great contest for the championship of
the world, at Chickering Hall in 1887.
Brooks easily took the prize. Harry
Denton, took second prize. Brooks
and Denton then and there formed
partnership, which lasted until
Brooks death. Brooks won the medal
three successive years and was pro-
claimed the premier banjo player of
the country In 1890 he went abroad
for the first time. Brooks and Den
ton went on the vaudeville stage for a
while, but they found that they could
make more money by teaching and
playing for society. For number Of
seasons it was the fad to dance to the
music of their banjos.
