A CHERUB.
Cunning little fellow,
Brimming full of Joy,
Sunshine of the household,
Mothers darling boy.
Never breaks the furniture
When he is asleep,
Never pouts when humored,
Nothing makes him weep
When he's eating pie, or
Kicking up a fuss.
When he hasn't any,
Clothes he'll never muss.
Sweetest sort of temper
When he's let alone,
Fairest sort of features
Fathers very own.
Wilful little urchin,
Petted angel child,
Jewel to his parents,
Runs the neighbors wild.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

"Coming Thro the Rye entertained an
audience at the Jefferson theatre last
night which was hungry for musical conf
edy. Although 1t was a hot night, and
must have been steaming for the Gee Gee
girls, the performance had winter snap
and sparkle which made 1t most enjoy
able. The piece is much like other musi-
cal comedies, in that the plot is not exact
ly definable and nobody seems to care.
The author of the book, George V. Ho-
bart, in writing it seems to have had
an idea that the Rye, celebrated in the
song, was grain, instead of a little river
in Scotland. However. this is minor
point and does not detract from the sue
cess of Coming Thro' the Rye in the
least.
Musically, the most captious critic Of
light song could find no fault. Every song
number was tuneful and many of them
had Tilt that will linger in the memory.
Frank Laylor's song, ut Must Be Love- -
was one of the best things he did and
made pronounced hit. 1t is a catchy
little air and was given in inimitable
style by the comedian Another pleasing
number was Because You Are YOU"
sung by John B. Park to Miss Alma
Youln. Mr.. Park has a pleasing voice,
while Miss Youlin made a captivating foil.
MY Broncho Boy" by Miss Nena Blake
and chorus, and "The Sandman by Miss
Blake and the Gee Gee girls, were also
good
The company was large and well bal
anced. Mr.. Labor is droll comedian Of
unique methods, and Miss Stella Mathew
is a Coincidence of great talent. Her
Diversion in the second act brought
forth storms of applause As mimic, and
especially in her portrayal of an old-time
southern darkey, Miss Mathew is exceed
ingly clever. She had a part similar TO
that of Mrs Malaprop In the play. APP
pearing to advantage, while Mr.. Lalor. in
the role of a tailor masquerading as an
artist and fleeing from a fearful-looking
countess kept everybody laughing. Alma
Youlin, charming light in musical COM
edy as Loleta; Frank Doane, as an Eng
lish lord. and John b. Park as an artist,
were well placed
Scenically, the Coming Thro the Rye
proved to be most attractive. 1t was care
fully staged. The costumes, while not new
or especially clean, made brave show.

"Foxy Grandpa"

Young and old win no doubt welcome
William A. Brady's production, Foxy
Grandpa" at the Jefferson theatre this
afternoon and tonight. The comic pictures
upon which the farcial musical ola pod
rila is based are not more famous than
the stage version. A lovable character is
the up-to-date old gentleman who is con-
tinually checkmating the practical jokes
of his roguish grandsons. He radiates
genial humor and there is no pain in
fiicted by him in his pranks. New songs
have been added, introducing a double
sextette of stage beauties in costumes
that are said to be revelations.

Until you vowed
You will recall
