Mr.. Woods has surrounded them with
every available accessory to make then
vehicle of merriment one of the jollies-
and most elaborate on the road. Their
comedy is the kind of artistic foolish
ness that makes laughter compelling

one continuous laugh, it is said, from

necessary intermissions in the friyolity 20
admit of the introduction of musical num-

In speaking of a recent performance

Bickel Watson and Wrothe came 10

one scarcely had ever heard of this trio
of fun makers. but after the perform
ance Monday night and the two perform
ances yesterday it is safe to say that
these three remarkably clever fellows ara
as popular with local amusement seek
ers as any bunch that has ever come
this way. To begin with. "rom, Dick and
Harry is musical farce up To date
in every line, elegantly staged daintily
costumed and presented by a company of
real merit If any one felt any doubt as
to the excellence of the performance on
account of the rather unique title Tom.
Dick and Harry" it must certainly be
dispelled now. for the show has un-
doubtedly made the hit of the season at
the .Bijou and better pleased CROWDS have
seldom witnessed performance q. this
popular theatre.
Bickel, Watson and Wrothe ERE as
clever trio as one could find in many
days search in the farce comedy world.
Their work is original, unique and so
ludicrous that their very appearance on
the stage makes the audience break out
into a hearty laugh. The stars are very
ably supported by Harrison Ste1 oman.
Walter Pearson, James Williams, Jeanne
LeBeau, Fanny Thatcher and Louise All
Der. The chorus is most attractive and
perhaps the best drilled that has been
seen this season at the Bijou. The mus
cal numbers are tuneful and are given
with dash and vim that carries he au-
dience by storm.

respectable tradesman in the north
of England, who had been mayor of his

excellent character, informed me that he

His wife died soon after this, but there

A relative of my own who was staying
in an old house in the west of England,
occupied room on one side of the pas

other room. The windws in the two rooms
faced each other. My relative had opened
the door of his room in the day time and,
looking across to the room opposite, was
surprised to see little old man in eigh-

Another relative visited a large house
in the north of England, where particu-
lar passage was never used at night.
Some years before a governess had pois-
oned herself in one of the ro.ms, and
visitors and servants complained of move
ments and disturbances in that part of
the house. This was so regularly repeat
ed that the hostess at breakfast would
simply remark that Miss Brown was
about again last night. My relative did
not feel at liberty to investigate this
story, as the subject was one which the
family did not care to discuss.

A creaking at night can be explained in
some houses by the age or weakness of

member Of my own family many years
ago dreamed that a carriage accident had
occurred and that some ladies' had been
injured. The messenger who brought the
news met him at particular spot In the
gardens in front of the house. A few
weeks afterward the news of an accident
in which a lady was seriously injured
was brought to the dreamer at the very
place where his dream had anticipated
the news. In this case. however, the
dreamer had previously felt some anxiety
as to the safety of the ladies'. who liked

two lay there together, the fair-haired
representative of New England, while
still clasping the dark-skinned descend
ant of American savagery, felt some
thing fumbling, and presently became
aware, at the bottom of the heap there,
that his right hand was being shaken.

A well-known Free Church minister,
still living, had undertaken to preach IN
one of the channel Islands. He arrived
at Waterloo station possessed with a
strong reluctance to go farther. He took
his ticket and compelled himself to go on
the platform, but the warning Influence
grew stronger. After selecting a COM

left the station. Next morning the loss

floor below and whose late hours were
not due to severe study. This, however,
proved to be an unfounded suspicion as
the noise continued after his room was
vacated.
No one was ever seen, though every
possible attempt was made by the young
men to surprise the visitor on the stairs.
On several occasions papers appeared to
have been moved in the sitting room, and
one important manuscript was taken from
the table and concealed IN drawer.
