Z ~,
What promises ito be the most no.
table engagement Of the season at the
Odeon is that of THE Umpire which
comes next Friday, Oct. &c. This mus
ical comedy boasts the prestige of the
longest run in the history of Chicago
theatricals, and by those who have
seen it is pronounced worthy in every
way of it's extraordinary vogue. The
elements which combine to give "The
Umpire" this popularity are the mod
ern nature of it's themes-the national
games, base ball and foot ball-politfcs,
graft" diplomacy and other subjects
of current interest, together with its
music, and its comedy, both of which
are in the first of their class No mus
ical comedy ever produced in the. past
decade contains so many song hits as
"The Umpire" and the score is con-
sidered the master achievement of it's
composer, Joseph E. Howard. 1t is
enough to know that the comedy kept
Chicago laughing for nearly a year.

against their very faces. And the noises
were such as were strange to their ears,
always the same high musical clashing.
The old shipman shook his head and
crossed himself. In thirty years upon
the waters |. have never heard the like,
said he. The Devil is ever loose in a
fog. Well is he named the Prince of
Darkness.
A wave of panic passed over the YES
sci, and these rough and hardy men who
feared no mortal foe shook with terror
at the shadows of their own minds.
They stared into the cloud with blanched
faces and fixed eyes, as though each
instant some fearsOme shape might
break in upon them. And as they stared
there came a gust of wind. For mo-
ment the fog-bank rose and a circle of
ocean lay before them.
1t was covered with vessels. On all
sides they lay thick upon its surface.
They were great CarraCkS, hlgh-ended
and portly, with red sides and bulwarks
carved and crusted with gold. Each had

and from their high poops came the
weird clashing which filled the air For
one moment they lay there, this wOndrOus
fleet, surging slowly forward, framed in
gray vapOr. The next the clouds closed
in and they had vanished from view.
There was a long hush, and then a buzz
of excited voices.

that the Spotted Heifer should be thor
ough in her instruction: but to have my
little daughter BlackSpOt return to me
after school hours with a mouth so sore
and a jaw so lame from carrying stones
around the pasture that she was unable
to eat, seemed rather OVERRIDING the thing.
and it was borne in upon me that 1t
would hardly improve the race If Black
spot should die of hunger in the effort
to become a supercaIf 1t didn't seem a
fortunate result. and l began to think
that dexterity of hoOf and facility OF
jaw might be acquired by the supercalf
in some other way.
l couldn't help wondering what would
happen to NOrman-pOor little Calf-shut
off by the blindness of maternal affection
from all progress and higher growth. He
could not but fare Ill in the struggle
for existence when he would have to COM
pete with our own better-ftted super
calves who understood wall-building and
the habits of the primitive COW sacrificed
to his mother ignOrancel
After the study of that product of
civilization, the fence, came naturally
the study of the animal whose almost
produced it-man. Through this nature
study should be awakened a sympathetic
interest in the habits of animals, with
reference to their uses, and they had
the Hired Man as a type easily studied
and often ObtruSively in the way The
Spotted Heifer pointed him out one day
to the calves and showed them his I'M
likeness to themselves.
"Seel" said She That animal is called
man. In what does he differ from the
cow"
l was glad to hear Blackspot an5wer:
Two legs" and the Spotted Heifer
looked at her approvingly.
Yes, BlaCkspot," she replied. man
is so unfortunate as to have only two legs,
instead of four which the normal COW
possesses. Those other members which
you see attached near the upper part
of his body are called arms. They are
of no use to him in lOcOmOtion. You
should pity the poor man, two of whose
limbs are of so little use to him. But
there is also a lesson to be drawn from
man by which every calf should profit.
for in spite of having only two legs. he
IS industrious and affectiOnate and al
ways anxious for the welfare of the
COWS whom he serves and TO whom
he is attached. His use and chief
happiness IS to serve the cow 1t is we'll
to understand the habits of man. and
We shall begin with a study of his foot
prints"
The Spotted Heifer led the calves over
to where his footprints were clearly
visible in the mud at the edge of the brook.
and after studying their form and size
they began to track him around as if
he was beast of the forest The calves
soon became expert at this and got TO
considering it in the light of a PLAY. and
whenever that Hired Man entered the
pasture they would fly after him to study
his footsteps. He seemed to find this
extremely discOncerting, and / noticed
that while he accelerated his steps
whenever he was within the confines
of our field he frequented it less and
less.
