Kearns has sent back word he will

THE SPOKANE.

Teddy Webb is nearly the whole
thing in "The Strollers" that open
ed at the Spokane last evening for
three nights. Tie chorus is good
and in general the cast carries the
musical comedy in a manner that
pleased the audience thoroughly.
''The Strollers" runs the gamut
from tramp adventures of two
wandering performers to killing
cowboys, and there Is fun and frolic
all the way through. A number of
songs are included in the program
and the company has two good
voices in Joseph w. Smith and
Miss Aida Hemmel. THE Stroll

night, with matinee Christmas

THE AUDITORIUM.

AS Agenes Gray, leading charac-
ter in "The Little Church Around
the Corner" which opened for the
week last night, Jessie Shirley
covers a wide range of emotional
acting. She is parted from her
husband by intrigue, sent to an in
sane asylum and undergoes woes
innumerable before her final tri-
umph and restoration. George Nc
Quarrfe plays the part of the mis-
guided husband whose belief in
forged stories about his wife causes
all the trouble. Little Vera Spragg,
who acted the child's part, won the
audience completely in her diff
cult part Of choosing between her
father and mother. The balance
of the company is suitably cast.

admiration. Fixed out by apple
sauce and mashed potatoes, it was
a sufficient dinner for the whole
family; indeed, as Mrs. Cratchit
said with great delight Surveying
one small atom Of a bone upon the
dish), they hadn't ate it all at last!
Yet everyone had had enough, and
the youngest Cratchits in particu-
lar were STEPPED in sage and onion
to the eyebrows; But now the
plates being changed by Miss Be-
linda, Mrs. Cratchit left the room
alone-too nervous to bear witness
to take the pudding up and bring
it in.
Suppose it should not be done
enough! Suppose it should break in
turning out! Suppose somebody
should have come over the wall of
the back yard and stolen it, while
they were merry with the goose

young Cratchits became livid! All
sorts Of horrors were supposed.

door to each other and a laundress'
next door to that! That was the
pudding. In half a minute Mrs.
Cratchit entered-flushed, but smil-
ing proudly-with the pudding like
a specified cannon ball, so hard and
firm, blazing In half quartern of
isnited brandy, and bedight with
Christmas holly stuck into the top.
Oh, a wonderful pudding! Bob
Cratchit said, and camly too, that
he regarded it as the greatest sue
cess achieved by Mrs. Cratchit
since their marriage. Mrs. Cratchit
said that now the weight was off
her mind, she would confess she
had had her doubts about the guam
tity of flour. Everybody had some
thing to say about it, but nobody
said or thought it was at all a small
pudding for a large family. 1t would
have been fiat heresy to do so. Any
Cratchit would have blushed to hint
at such thing
AT last dinner was all done. the
cloth was cleared. the hearth swept
and the fire made up. The com
pound in the jug being tasted and
considered perfect, apples and
oranges were put upon the table
and a shovelful of chestnuts on the
fire. Then all the Cratchit family
drew round the hearth in what Bob
Cratchit called circle, meaning a
half one: and at Bob Cratchit's
elbow stood the family display of
glass, two tumblers and custard
cup without handle.
These held the hot stuff from the
jug, however. as well as golden COB
lets would have done, and Bob
served it out with beaming looks
while the chestnuts on the fire sput-
tered and cracked noisily. Then
Bob proposed:

dears. God bless us!"
Which all of the family re-echoed.
God bless us every one." said
