war-dance, lambastin' that tennis-ball
at me to beat the cars. 1t was working,
all right
When he got tired of that organized
a Skinny game, with an umbrella and a
cane for sticks, and a couple of wicker
chairs for goals He took to that too
First he shed his frock-coat, then his
vest, and after awhile we got down to
Our understands. 1t was a hot game from
the word go. There wa mt any halfway
business about Sir Peter, When he
started out to drive goal through
my legs he whacked good and strong
and often. Ny shins looked like a
BARRIERS pole afterwards; but l couldn't
squeal then. There was no way to
duck punishment but to get the bali into
his territory and make him guard goal.
1t wa mt such a cinch to do, either,
for he was a lively old gent on his pins.
After about half an hour of that,
you can bet | wished I'd stuck to the
bucket game But Sir Peter was as
excited over it as a boy with a new pair
of roller-skates. He wouldn't stand for
any change of program, and he wouldn't
stop for breathin spells. Rufus RastuS
came out of his coop once to see what
the row was all about but when he
saw us mixed up in a scrimmage for goal
he says: Good Lawd er mighty" lets
out one YELL and shuts himself up with
his canned soup and copper pans. l
guess Danvers thought | was draggin'
his boss around by the hair; for |
heard him yelp once in awhile, but he
couldn't get loose.
Sir Peter began to leak all over his
head, and his gray hair got mussed up,
and his eyes was bulgin out; but |
couldn't get him switched to anything
else Not much! Skinny was a new
game to him, and he was stuck on it.
Whee-yee!' he'd yell, and swing that
crook-handled cane, and bang would
go a fancy gas globe into a million
pieces. But little thing like that didn't
faze him. He was out for goals, and he
wasn't particular what he hit as long as
the ball was kept moving.
1t was a hot pace he set, all right
Every time he swung l had to Jump two
feet high, or else get it on the shins
And say! | jumped when l could. I'd
have given a sable-lined overcoat for

A Fine Performance.

"The Country Girl" was the at
traction at the Edison theater last
night, and will continue to be the re-
mainder of the week. The perform
ance last night was of a high order
and clever all the way through, some
people having been heard to remark
that they liked last nights perform
ance better than any of the previous
efforts of the Brigham-Cooper Co.
Every one plays his or her parts in
the play with vim and earnestness.
This week will be the last appearance
of the Brigham-Cooper Company
until fall. The last performance
will be given Sunday night, then the
Edison will be closed for the remain
der of the summer, and 1t will be
remodeled and enlarged, in fact,
made in a thoroughly and up-to-date
place house where theater-goers can
enjoy themselves and see first-class
productions and at the same time be
comfortable. The house will be
opened in September by the Brigham
Cooper Company which will probably
play here during the winter months
in stock with a much larger COM
pany, presenting such high class
plays as Under Two Flags" Ca
mille," Drifting Apart" "The
Young Wife," and many more that
arrangements are being made for
So Salem has the assurance of first
class place of amusement after the
hot weather is over and fall season
commences. Tomorrow there will
be matinee of "The Country
Girl" at 1880 p. m, and after the
performance prize will be given
away, and on Sunday night another
prize will be given. Remember this
is the last week OF the Brigham
Cooper Company until September.
