Vaudeville at the Phillips.

If there was an inch of space not
occupied last night at the New Phil
lips it was not visible to the naked
eye. That much for a bill filled with
attractive features. The sensational
attraction was Don and Dot Ford the
hand cuff experts. These two people
who have shown the police and jail
ers of every large city in the world
how easy it is for them to open their
locks, handouts. shack>cs, etc. From
viewing their remarkable performance
it is only to believe that there is no
possible way to faSten them so they
cannot escape no matter what position
they were locked last night they easily
freed themselves. The most remark
able fact of their performance is that
they do not slip the irons but open
each and every pair. One pair last
night was brought by a youth who
said he ploughed them up on a farm
and they looked it. The Fords invite
any one to bring handouts, shackles,
ropes or chains and try TO fasten
them. One man said last night IF
there amt no spirits how in the duce
do they do it," That's it. How do
they do il?

Surgical Reform.

II you have naughty habit
That annoys your charming wife.
Have the doctor amputate il
With his sharp and pointed knife.
If you see a sawbones passing
Call him in without delay
For a trifiing operation;
It's the new and modern way.
They can take a naughty youngster
Who has learned to smoke and chew
And by cutting out some pieces
Make him over nice and new.
If his mother could not make him
Brush his hair and fix up neat
he would after one strong treatment
Rather do that thing than eat.
Let a skillful fabricator
On the surgeons table lie.
If the cutting is successful,
Then he cannot tell a lie.
If he runs to stealing chickens
They can do some things to him
That will make him leave a rooster.
Though It's on the lowest limb
Do not waste your precious moments
Doing foolish things and cheap,
Making idle resolutions
That you know you cannot keep.
Take your troubles to a surgeon,
Sternly bound to see 1t through,
And for several hundred dollars
He will make you good as new.
