POEM TO DAUGHTERS.
Mrs. J. A. Rountree Delivers an Orgi-
 nal Poem on Flag Day.

The following poem was written by Mrs. J. A. Rountree and delivered at the recent Flag Day celebration of the Daughters of the American Revolution:
 THE AMERICAN FLAG. I bring to you from the U. D. c. A message of love and cheer, And a hope expressed and word of
 praise, For your work from year to year. We both are descended from men of
 fame Famed for their courage and dare, Who left to us an unsullied name And one 'tis an honor to bear. And both of them fought for their home
 fireside And both of them gave their best. And knowing the right they bravely died And the world now knows the rest. You come from line that is now long
 dead,
 But their flag still waves to the world. l come from line that as nobly bled, But our Stars and Bans are furled. The Stars and Stripes are an emblem
 there,
 Of a flag that will never fade. I Ht one llldl IS DTlSnleT every yeHTs The best flag ever made. Do you know the birth of the Stars and
 Stripes. The one that will live alway? Yes, l know your record is clearly kept That you celebrate today. A record of silk and loving hands, And stitches made in part But l mean the one that was made by
 Geo,
 And preserved in Amegica's heart. When the world first saw our country
 free,
 And a crushed foe going home It saw our land as 1t was to be In the years that not have come. And when for us the sun first rose, In England it had set. And our early dawn. and their early eve, Half way, in the ocean met. And the crimson rays of the setting sun With the white rays of the dawn, Met the starry blue of the skies above, And Americas flag was born
 |, America's flag-Old Glory there. flag that has never been furled, Emblem of freedom. land without care, The flag that leads the world.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the ellou.

Max Hoffman's company opened weeks engagement at the Bijou theater last night to the largest crowd of the sum- mer season. The house was full, and the patronage reminded one of musical comedy night in mid-winter. To say that the performance, as a whole, was not good, would be an injustice, although the audience was apathetlc. Perhaps ex- pectations of more boisterous, rolicking assortment of fun and music were dlsap- pointed; perhaps there was not enough horseplay or legitimate comedy; perhaps some of it was not understood At any rate the best and cleverest numbers on the bill failed to win due appreciation. Yet, the programme offered included high class vaudeville, with some pretty music and daintily conceived song specialtles.
 Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the bill is Its divergence from the usual order of vaudeville entertainment. It Is more of musical melange than anything else, despite the fact that the first part Is regulation vaudeville. The Twin Sis ters' Dolly opened the performance with songs and dances to be succeeded by the OLtO DIUlHtiS, lWO CltNtI stll1 NClS comedians, who are not unknown to Bir- mlngham theatergoers Although Ger man comedy has almost been done to death in these late days, the Otto broth CTS contrive to make it amusing, and as dancers, they are exceptionally pleasing. Their rapid-fire steps brought the only real outburst of applause during the even- ing.
 Gertrude Hoffman, graceful dancer and talented entertainer in many ways, came next in a song speciality, assisted by her Manhattan girls. Mrs. Hoffman was the life of the performance, and in this number her ability as a dancer was amply exploited.
 It Is to be regretted that there were not more baseball fans present last night, for "Slvers'' Oakley gives one of the most amusing baseball burlesques im- aginable. His entire act Is pantomime, some of his poses being ludicrously true to life. It Is seldom that one has an op- portunity of seeing more carefully studied travesty than that given by MT. Oakley. He appears in his familiar make up, with web feet and prominent hips, as he has often been seen by Birmingham people in the circus ring. Tony Hart gave a pleasing monologue, and the first pant of the programme was brought to a close by a pretty musical conceit called Tn the Swim." This was presented by six yohng men and six girls. The solo singing of Miss Bessie Kyle was delight ful, while MT. Oakley, as 'erhe Lone Hunter" introduced some of his quaint pantomlme
 The second part of the programme was devoted to a musical comedietta for which the music was written by Max Hoffman. The comedy features were lame, but the tuneful music of Max Hoff-
 man and the specialties given by Mrs. Hoffman made amends. One of the songs, On San Francisco Bay sung by Miss Kyle and MT O'Keef. is charming in theme and melody. It will be featured next season by Anna Held. Mrs. Hoff- man gave some bright limitations of stage favortes, and did sosne more admirable dancing.

East Lake Casino.

The Casino Opera company with it's opera bouffe productions at East Lake of fers good entertainment at the prices. The Graves and Adde organization drew a record breaking crowd last night, every seat in the Casino being taken. The com pany appeared stronger than before in Richard Stahfs Oriental opera, Said Pasha"
 Miss Haysel Coulter, as Serena, the Pasha's daughter, achieved a success last night Costumed in fetching attire, Miss Coulter wheeled and petted her match making sire into concessions which farth- cred her own and her lovers interests E. L. Graves "Pasha' was we'll enacted His clear voice and vigorous personality were effective and he was well received throughout the evening. James Combs impersonated the Mexican grandee, and his tenor voice was up to it's usual stand ard
 A favorite with Miss Coulter was Miss Lucille DeVal, who appeared as Att, Ideal Queen of Altara. She received the most hearty encore of the evening O. J. Post was Hassen Bey. The belligerent Rajah, one of the most conspicuous characters of Said Pasha,' was entrusted to Harry Dale.
 The costumes are new and the chorus Is a feature of the production. To dis miss this review without due regard to the efforts of the comedians. Leo Adde and James Alexander. would be to do an injustice. Both men are witty and the popular songs of MT. Adde won favor. The same bill will be repeated at today g matinee and at the evening performance.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 conductor on the O'Fallon Park di- vision of the St. Louis and Suburban rail- way had such good run of business Sun day afternoon that he had difficulty in keeping himself supplied with small change. Many persons who patronzed his car handed him dollars and bills of larger denominations in payment of their fares.
 The conductor. however, managed to get along farely well until a woman, car rying a tiny infant. boarded his car When he approached the woman for her fare she handed him s5 bill.
 'Is that the smallest you have, mad am?'' queried the conductor. fearing an- other strngency in change
 The woman looked at the conductor and then at her baby, and made this sur prsing reply
 ''Yes. I have been married only twelve months"
 q never was so sold while I have been workin' on the road" said the conductor afterward, in telling the motorman of the incident.
