Little ten-year-old Clara had heard a
Joke AT II friends party. It was entire
ly new TO her. and as soon as she re-
turned home she repeated IT, with
much elaboration OF detail, to her ia

He had heard II many times before,
but It's unique treatment at Clara's
hands amused him so much that he
laughed before she was half through.
Clara was much astonished and ejac-
ulated:
"Why, papa. what made you laugh

"Oh." her father said evasively, "the
story was so funny that couldn't

Concerning Priscilla.

Priscilla knows a clever scheme
To bring the men folk TO her side.
She drives them single or in team;
For rcins, her apron strings. well tied.
The other girls might sit an hour
In pcnsive attitude and pose.
But what's the use? They lack the power
Priscilla knows.
Priscilla knows when she should talk
And then, again. when smiles go best.
She never wants 10 take a walk
When you are tired and would rest,
But. best OF all (this Is the most
Delightful thing to all her beaus),
Just how TO listen while they boast
Priscilla knows.
Priscilla knows this thoroughly
And practices IL both night and day;
Yet when she tries that trick on me
The tables turn the other way.
You see. / know Priscillas plan,
And so I make her talk. which showE
I'm really quite the >picest man :.
Priscilla knows. u

How lonq Will It Stay There7

There are times when I am blue. And you bet, I hate 'em too. There are times when there's no joy in anything
 When dark clouds come cross my sky, When I almost want to cry. When I Cuss. instead of praise, the birds that sing.
 But thats when I'm busted flat. When Im Iealizing that I'm right up against the commonest of woes,
 But it's just the other way: There's no night--it's all bright day If I only have a dollar in my clothes. There is nothing quite so sad To one almost always glad Than to know his pockets don't contain a cent.
 All his eheerfulness will fade Into deep despair he'll wade. And he'll wonder where on earth his money went,
 But the sun will shine once more, Shine as brightly as before, And he'll feel a tnge of joy clear to his toes
 When the time arrives that he Can dig where his coin should be And discover he's a dollar in his clothes.

Engagement of Parsifal.

One of cile most promising signs of late years in connection with the drama is the greatly increased in terest shown by the better class of tions of semi-reTigious nature Among the more notable of this class of plays may be mentioned "The Eternal City" "Quo Vadis, ," Sign of the Cross" Mary of Mag dala,' Ben Hur" and "The Shep- herd King" Each of these dramas has met with distinct favor, not only occasioned by the beauty and depth of the various themes pre- sented, but because, also, there is no greater or more graphically dra- ma1ic material to be gained from any source than that of the Bible The latest and most successful of al religious dramas seen in this country, although for years past it has been witnessed in Europe, is Richard Wagner's magnificent spec tacle, "Parsifal," While there is not Biblical character seen in the production. it is essentially a grand lE religious work. It is true there are some sacred objects dealt with, but they are used only as a means to an end, to attain the purpose the author desired, without in any way violating Christian truths or tread bility. It is simply a great moral drama, conceived and written by Christian genius. In the effort to reproduce the reverential atmos- phere of the original surroundings and in other details, the tradition of Baireuth will be preserved dur ing the engagement here at the Elks theater Friday, March 8, ex- cept in the commencing time, which has been slightly changed. Form erly the commencing time was 5:3O and twO-hour intermissiOn was given for dinner. This long inter- mission has been done away with, which permits of commencing the first act at 7:45, the performance concluding at II o'clock. The pub lie is most earnestly requested to
 
 body should be seated before the house is darkened and the first act begins. It will be impossible to seat any one at this juncture. Am pie warning will be given before the rise of the curtain on each act by company of trumpeters, who will sound a "Parsifal" motif in the lobby of the theater.
