YOU OLD cONFEDS

You boys are getting kind o gray,
You old Conieds;
You surely amt got long to stay,
You old Conieds;
Old Father Time is after you;
He's worse than were the boys in blue;
He'll get you all lore he gets through
You old Conieds.
With old pap Price and brave Stone
wall,
You old Conieds;
With Robert lee (you fought with alll
You old ex-Rebs-
Half starved. you faced the boys in blue,
When clothed in rags and tatters, too,
And braver soldiers no one knew
Than you Confeds.
No North. no South, to you they LAY,
To you ex-Rebs;
No more you see the boys in gray,
No old Conieds;
Sweet peace is here, you gladly tell;
You're satisfied that all is well;
But when you think Of those who fell,
And hear once more then musket's hell.
You'd like to give one Rebel yell
You old Conieds
Ard don't forget the boys in gray,
The brave COnieds,
Who can't be here with you to-day
The dead COnfeds.
Amidst the screaming shot and shell,
Amidst the thunderbOlts OF hell
They bravely fought and, fighting, fell--
The soldiers dead.
A silent toast to them now drink,
To each COnied;
To comrades dead let glasses clink,
To your brave dead.
You drink to soldiers that you knew,
To your dear comrades brave and true
Who sleep beneath the Southern dew
Their restfCl sleep
You love your country and its flag,
You old Conieds;
In it's defense you'd never lag,
You old Conieds;
But long as heart beats in each breas
You'll think OF those who sweetly res
Meath flowers by South wind sol
caressed
Ia Southern lands.
And when old Gabriel blows his horn
You old COnfeds
Will fall in line on that great morn
You old Confeds.
The Master then will say to you:
"Just take your seats in that front pew
There's nothing here too good for you
You old Couieds."

FORTUNES FOR RACING
Turf Experts Say s3O,OOO,OOO Was Spent This
Year

The racing season just closed was
remarkable. Attendance figures have
beaten all records. A calm estimate
is that 4 .0OO.O 900 attended the meets OF
the various associations that make up
the metropolitan circuit.
Most OF these paid admissions to the
grand stand at 50 head. This would
foot up $4,000 600 for the rare tracks.
The sure winners have been the racing
associations. They have received money
from various sources, not To mention the
$4SO,OOO or more contributed by the
average number of 200 bookmakers ior
the privilege of doing business in the
ring.
Jas. r. Keene is the biggest winning
owner. His horses have won in the
neighborhOod Of $l62 900 in stakes.

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a hort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in cOnnec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy OF
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying inn
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The &C i on OF
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more Of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-

it does through nourish-

 elaborate and beautiful revival of
 Shakespeare's "Cymbeline. AL
 though the play, and the role of
 lmogen, in which Miss Allen will be seen, are familiar to the student of shakespeare. and the dramatic pos slniiities of each universally acknowl- eged, they are comparative strangers
 lo the modern theatergoer. There nave been. in fact. only two or three actresses during the last generation
 who have presented the character With any degree of success Those or our theatergOers who saw Miss Aliens delightful performance of viola in Twelfth Night" and her remarkable work in the role of Hermione and Perdita in The Win ter's Tale" will watch with interest the performance of one of tue most exacting, and at the same time most lovable of Shakespeare's heroines. Miss Allen is remarkably we'll fitted Tor the portrayal of classic roles. Her beautiful voice and perfect enun- ciation are especially suited to the reading of blank verse, and she in herits from both father and mother a love and an understanding of the work of the great bard such as is possessed by few actresses of modern times. The production was staged by Frank Vernon, the well known producer of many English successes, and 1t Is said that while scenically the performance will be sumptuously beautiful and historically correct. the fact that scenery and spectacular ac- cessories should only be used as harmonious and appropriate back ground has never been lost sight Of The company is said to be a large and capable one, and has been care- fully chosen with special regard to the proper filling of each and every role. The cast includes such promin- ent players as Howard Gould. Sidney Herbert, c. Leslie Allen, Fuller Mel fish, Alexander Calvert, Henry ]. Hadfield. Myron Calico.

THE BURGLARS DAUGHTER. i"

The problem to-day in the popular priced theaters is to furnish strong plays that will excite and interest and at the same time to avoid the over sensational and vulgar features that are far too common in plays of this type. This problem has been solved in the production of "The Burglars Daughter" play of in- tense heart interest and rapid ac- tion, which comes to Polls Thursday afternoon and evening. and one that tells strong and true story in a refined and highclass manner. The pitiful story of Meg. the daughter of a New York crook who IS cast out on the streets to starve is one that must make a direct appeal to the sym pathies of every human being with a heart that can respond to emotion of love and pity. As in all of Owen Davis's plays comedy scenes and humorous characters play an im- portant part and throughout the play laughter and tears follow one an- other in close succession. Prices are 20, 35 and 50 cents: matinee ?5 cents. Tel. 10s4. Seat sale We'd Iesday.
