The Quiet Man In the Corner.

or two ago;
The one who played against me seemed
to have no ghost of show:
I had u bunch of lusty kings that strut
ted all about
And bullied my opponents men. who
dared not venture out.
Way over in corner Shrunk timid
little man
Who stayed right in his station ever
r., since the game began.
ing by with banner and with song.
And seemed to be discouraged over
d.. standing still so long:
But pretty oc soon an opening occurred
And not another moment did that little
fellow stay.
He bounded Ger the board and took
Then landed in my king-row With a
wild ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never made noise while the other
ragged and fought;
The whole community has come to
think of them as dead,
Or else 50 Vow NOW it that their hone
of fame had fed
The chaps WITH recognition for their
49,, portion pose and strut,
And seem to overlook the man who
keeps his talker shut
But some day, when most every one is
lookin' t'nther way,
Ihis quiet fellow sees chance to break
He reaches out and grabs things that
the others had ignored:
He puts into the life-game all the cner-
Sy he'd stored
Through all the years OF silence So
-, you'd better not forget
me sun man in the corner, for he'll
reach the king row yet!

ADJUSTMENTS
The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast.


When The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast was first planned, it was the
intentions of the managerial promot-
ers to leave no stone unturned in or
der to make this now great show the
most gigantic scenic production ever
placed before the public in an opera
house or theater; that they succeeded
in accomplishing their aim has been
proven by the fact that in both Europe
and America, the Sleeping Beauty
and the Beast" admittedly excels any
spectacular production ever present
ed. The triumph is vc"y largely one
in the line OF picturesqueness. TOR
such stage groups and such lovely
settings are very large indeed for the
average public. Every picture in the
piece is marvel in its way, and the
tableaux which end each act are long
to be remembered; the dreaminess
when the entire company falls asleep
is fascinating, and classed ahead of
anything Of the sort ever seen in this
city. The stage is filled with dancers
and the beautifully colored lights
thrown upon the ballets make daz-
cling picture. The comedians. the
singers and the dancers unite in
creating enjoyment. and the fun and
beauty of all that is done. appeal 20
playgoers in an unusual degree.

Scotch Thrift.

A traveller in the Highlands observed
while at tavern in a small village a
very beautiful collie. At his request
the owner was pointed out to him, and
he asked the man what he would take
for the dog.
Yell be taking him to America 2"
the Scot asked cautiously.
Certainly, if you sell him to me-"
Il no coul' part vie Rob-" the dogs
owner then said. emphatically. I'm
muckle fondlike O. him." and liberal
offers were no inducements.
To his establishment, the traveller
later saw the dog sold to a drover for
half what he had offered, and after
the drover had disappeared, requested
an explanation. you said that you
could not sell him." he remarked.
A twinkle came into the Highland
er's eyes.

said l couldna part vie him." he said.

too muckle to ask"

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Stetson's colossal dramatic and
scenic production Of Uncle Toms
Cabin" comes to the Metropolitan
theater on Tuesday, April II. This
production far surpasses that of last
season in every particular, and will
be the best seen here Special atten-
ton has been given to the staging of
the piece and several new scenic ef-
fects are said to be magnificent. The
thrilling floating ice scene of the Ohio
river, the moonlight scene of the st.
Glars plantation, with house, garden
and cotton fields beyond, and the
superb transformation scene at the
end of the last act are among the
greatest. A clever quartette of COL
ored singers adds materially to the
program by number of high class
specialities. 1t is an entertainment
that can be enjoyed by young and old,
and parents should crafty children in
their desires to witness what will be
to them, pleasure long to be remem-
bered.

In its overweening desire to dis

he took in the recent municipal cleo

that Mr.. Norman as a member of the
board was wholly responsible for the

sonal motives. and intimating that for
this reason he is untitled for re-elec-

The Usual Explanation.

Justice Harlan of the supreme court,
despite his length of service on the
bench, still preserves that elasticity
of spirit and love of joke that have
distinguished him all through his ca
reer.
On circuit last year the justice
created considerable merriment in a
western court. A learned counsel was
arguing the question as to what cir
cumstances constituted an accident"
and was Offering instances of what he
considered would properly come with
in that term and what would not, on
the other hand. Suppose, your
honor" said he. some one were to hit
ME in the eye, making it black in con-
sequence. The fact of its becoming
black could not be called an accident
Perhaps not" suggested Harlan,
with chuckle, "but you would doubt
less explain it on that grounl"

An Excellent Juror.

The judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to talk
and by men who tried to evade Jury
service. Between hypothetical aues-
tons and excuses it seemed as If they
never would get to the actual trial of
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up the Judge was
exasperated.
'Shudge!" cried the German.
What is it," demanded the judge.
Il t'ink l like to go home to my
wife," said the German.
You can't" retorted the Judge. "Sit
down."
But. shudge." persisted the Ger
man. II don't t'ink make a good
shuror."
You're the best in the box" said
the Judge. "Sit down."
What box?" said the German.

"Oh, l thought 1t vas a bad box
that people gets in sometimes"

is the prisoners box"

Drunk But Not Crazy.

A young man familiar enough with
New York to know some of its street
eccentricities was walking along Park
Row near the entrance to the Brooklyn
bridge the other night. when he was
accosted by a wabbly old man. who
said:
Say, young fellow. which way is
Pearl street?"
Where do you want to go on Pearl
street," was the reply.
what difference does that make? ."
"A great DEAL" said the young man,
for you can get to Pearl street by go
ing that way" pointing north, cor that
way" pointing east. COR that way"
pointing south.
The old man steadied himself and
then with great deliberation and dis
gust said: You go to hell; 1 may
be drunk. but haven't got circular

The Wrong Trademark.

a Welsh county court judge has had
before him a case in which a printer
sued pork butcher for the value of a
large parcel OF paper bags with the
butchers advertisement thereon. The
printer. having no suitable illustration
to embelish the work. thought he I'M
proved the occasion by putting an ella
borate royal arms above the mans
name and address. but ultimately the
latter refused to pay.
The judge looking over specimen,
observed that for his part he thought
the lion and the unicorn we're much
nicer than an old fat pig.
"Oh. WE'LL" answered the butcher,
perhaps your honor likes to eat ami
mails like lions and unicorns. l only
kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant.

Perseverance Not EVERYTHING.

w. II. Pigg, who has started an elk

Il am sure you will succeed in this
venture, Pigg," said broker. You
are a persevering man, and per-
severance always brings success"
Mr.. Pigg laughed.
Il am persevering," he admitted
"and l believe in perseverance. At
the same time l don't rate it as high,
sir, rs you do. Perseverance without
intelligence is nothing A hen can sit

Choosing the Lesser Evil.

A Kentucky congressman tells an in
teresting tale of tho execution of a
noted desperate in that state some
years ago. Just before the sheriff ad-
justed the moose he asked the usual
question whether the man had any
thing to say.
mo, think not" began the con-
victed one, when he was INTERRUPTED
by cheerful voice shouting:
Say. Bill, if you amt got anything
special to say, would you mind giving
me 10 minutes Of your time just to let
these good people know that l am a
candidate for their SURFACES, and"
Hold on there!" shouted the sher-
III, who's that?"
John Blank" volunteered some one,
naming rising young politician, who
has since represented his state for a
number of years in the house of rep
resentatives at Washington.
who did he say it was?" whispered
the condemned man to the sheriff.
They say it's John Blank"

Fishing With Stale Bait.

Joseph Jefferson was strong be-
lever in early marriages, and he never
missed an opportunity to impress his
convictions upon young men. In an
address at Yale he said:
Il abominate bachelors. The older
they grow the more conceited they be-
come. I was talking to one and asked
him why he Cid not marry. He par
ried the question by telling about diff
ferent young women he had known
finding some fault with each one. But
it appeared that all of them had mar
ried.
"'You are in danger of getting left,
l said to him. You had better hurry
up before it is too late.'
"Oh,' said the bachelor, there are
just as good fish left in the sea-
"'I know that l said, but the bait
isn't there danger of the bait becom-
ing stale?"

But. shudge." persisted the little
German, Il don't speak good English"
you don't have to speak any at all, y
said the judge. "Sit down"
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
"Shudge," he said. Il can't make
holdings of what these fellers say"
1t was the judges chance to get
even for many annoyances.
Neither can any one else" he said.
"Sit down."
With sigh, the little German sat
down.

Good Enough for the Boarders.

Mountains visitors will miss him for
many a year to come.

FOR AN ATHLETIC PARK.

The action of the Commercial club
in taking the initiatorysin the work of
/ establishing an athletic park is long
step in the right direction.
That there should be some differences
as to the most practical methods of &C
completing the end sought, is to be
expected. But these differences will
have no effect upon the work.
The present plan provides for a cor
poration, the stock of which is to be
