HE'S IN LOVE.


 My love is deep, my love is strong,
 My love will ne'er grow cold My love will last my whole life long,
 The warmer when I'm cold. No gentle cOoing turtle dove
 Could ever truer be Than I have been to my dear love
 Or my dear love to me. They say my love hath naught of grace But what O. that care |? The beauty of form or face
 Will wither soon and die. They say my love is never kind
 Nor sweet, nor frank. nor free, But oh, my love is, to my mind
 The one dear love for me. I fear no rival in my love, Though that l well could bear. All jealousy I'm far above, I need not dread my love will frown
 Or lay me on the shelf
 Nor will I turn my true love down,
 My love IS just myself.

THE EARLY LIFE OF ANTHONY
 WAYNE.

Anthony Wayne was indeed what the historian Headley called him. a horn soldier" and his life before the outbreak of the revolution may be told n a few words. He was born at Chester. Pa, January 1, 1l45, to the ncsition of a ''gentleman, when that word had real significance, and, as has been remarked, a distinguished New Years present to the colonies at the hands of destiny he proved him. self to be. He came on his sire's side from English stock wh ch had lone been settled in Ireland, and from his mother he inherited the best lrisa traits. AS boy lie showed in his enthusiast but well-balanced char acter the happy blend of Saxon and of Celt. His early instruction was directed by scholarly paternal uncle
 and his education was finished at PhiladeDhia-a city in those days strangely alive dHu coSluopolltdll noted on the one hand for the lavish extravaganza of it's people of fashion, and on the other for the gu ct re- fnement and learned accomplish rlents Of a large, wealthy and infiu- ential Quaker elemen-. Young Wayne thus grew into manhood under the influence of the best and broadest facilities and environment which the colonies afforded. Though his Irish dash led him int0 some mad pranks that nearly brought about his dis niissal from school, his English pluck and good sense made him accept a final reprimand with proper spirit. and he graduated with distinct on. He became a lad surveyor at twenty, and showed such ability that he was sent by some gentlemen of substance, of whom Benjamin Franklin was one, tc Nova Scotia to locate a grant from the crown. He performed his mission

Robin Hood.

In the comic opera, Robin Hood,' which comes to this city on Monday, March 5, appearing at the Elks the ater, under the direction of the Aborn Production company, the book of the opera contains many filings of a sar- castle nature against the nobility of England, which shows the snobbery of English aristocracy existed in the good old day sof the famous outlaw Robin Hood, just as we'll as in our day. This is exemplified in the sec ond act when Guy of Gisborne says to the sheriff of Nottingham, Lend me your eagle eye and massive brain for a few days.' The sheriff replies, "You are at present 1out." Quite right" says Guy. The sheriff then says, When you are a peer of Eng land you can be as loutish as you please"

Sousa Deserves His Fame.

Sousa has come and gone, and With his coming and going has afforded the musical treat of the season. His annearance at the Elks theater last afternoon, matinee only, was the oc' casion of the assembling of a great audience of music-lovers of tn city azd surrounding country; but the number present was not as large as the performance merited. Strange to say. there were several rows of empty seats in the dress circle. But the house was comfortably filled, after all. and those who were present made I'D in enthusiasm for all the audience lacked in numbers.
 It is not saying too much to declare that Sousa deserves all the fame and renown that are his. The writer is not inclined to believe it too much to say that he is the greatest band con- ductor living.
 The program opened with the over ture. "Oberon," by Weber, and the hearty encore following it called forth Sousa's own "El Capitan,' which oc- cas:oned a perfect storm of applause. The work of Mr. Herbert l.. Clarke, cornetist, in the solo, Bride of the Waves" was most generously reeeiv- ed. and for an encore the audience was entertained with the sextet from Lucia. Tn Sousa's suite, At the Kings Court" which followed, he gave his impressions, mus:cally, of certain members of the English mo- bility, "Her Ladyship, the Countess, .sHer Grace, the Duchess" "Her Majesty the Queen" and in the latter the musical effects produced were most striking. The usual encore brought forth Dixie Land," wh ch called for another very enthusiastic outburst of applause. Miss Elizabeth Schiller, soprano, in the "Card Song,' from "The Bride-Elect," made her reputation with local music-lovers. She has a remarkably sweet and we'll trained voice. For encore she re sponded with Love, Light of My Heart" which called for even greater applause than her first effort. All eff forts to call her back to the stage proved fruitless, and Sousa quelle6 the disturbance with Edward Ger mans new composition, "Wels1 Rhapsody" It was here that the en core called for King Cotton," so of ten heard by local musicians already AS soon as the band struck up tht

already familiar notes, the audience went wild, and deafening applause drowned for few seconds the music. "Vienna Darlings" was followed by q Don't Know Where I'm Going, But I'm On My Way" for encore, and this in turn was followed by an air de ballet, "The Gipsy,' and Sousas new march, "The Diplomat For en- core he responded with his famous Stars and Stripes Forever" and the audience declined to permit him to bow himself off the stage. Again and again he was called, and responded with Manhattan Beach, It was here that the talented violiniste, Miss Jeannette Powers, rendered the intri- cate violin solo, "Capr.ce Slave through whose delicate mazes she went with the skill of genius. The audience refused to let her off with this, and after repeated calls she was compelled to respond with the sweet and beautiful notes of the familiar "Schubert's Serenade." Her rendi. ton of this lovely composition was perhaps the best ever heard in Pine Bluff. The program closed with the Ride of the Valkyries,' from "Die Walkuere," Wagner. Not until the very last notes of the weird compost tion died on the stage and the mem- bers of the band had left their places did the audience cease to shower it's applause, but Sousa gracefully bowed himself off the stage, declining to re- spond further to the too-frequent en- cores of his appreciative audience.
 Thus ended Sousa's engagement, but he left behind him one of the most pleasant memores of the local theatrical season.
