MINISTRIES
Tiny Artists in Black Face
ROOTS OPERA HOUSE,
Monday 6 Tuesday
Nights
Nov. 18th and 18th

The juvenile minstrels, which will be
given Monday and Tuesday nights at
Roots Opera House, for the benefit OF
the Carnegie library, promises to be
one of the best productions in the
line of local entertainment ever offered
to a Laramie audience. Miss Sinclair,
who is conducting rehearsals daily,
comes to us with the hearty endorse
ment of many Of our neighboring
cities, where she has given the same
performance before large and enthu-
siastic audiences.
Fourteen little ones, in black face
and gaudy, red and yellow costumes.
will compose the "circle." and the
work of the lend men" dancers and
soloists promises to be remarkable.
Just back Of these will be a chorus
Of thirty little girls In white.
The olio will consist of song and
dance sp~ecialties, in which many Of
Laramie's most popular young ladies'
will appear.
The entertainment, as well as the
cause for which 1t is given, is deserv-
ing of good houses. Admission, rs, IS
and SO cents.

To Settle that Question.

In a north of England town recently
a company of local amateurs produced
Hamlet. and the following account Of
the proceedings appeared In the local
paper next morning:
Last night all the fashionable and
elite Of our town gathered to witness
a performance Of Hamlet at the Town
Hall. There has been considerable
discussion in the press as to whether
the play was written by Shakes
speare or Bacon. All doubt can be
now at rest. Let the graves be open
ed; the n who turned over last night
Is the author. Weekly.

Patrick Brannigan had contracted
to dig a well in the sandy part of the
town, and he had dug down some forty
feet, when, on coming to work
n morning, he found that the last
~ feet of his well had caved in and
would have to be dug out again. He
sat down by the well to wait for his
helpers, when a happy thought struck
him; he arose, took off his coat, hung
it up in plain sight, hid his tools and
walked away.
A few minutes later, says Harper's
Weekly, his helpers came, and, finding
Pats coat, and seeing that his tools
were gone, came to the conclusion that
their BOSS was buried under the fallen
sand, and with the help Of all the
%neighbors Immediately set to work tn
dig him out. Not till all the fallen
dirt was taken out did the men in the
least suspect that they had been hoax
ed into doing just what the boss was
trying to dodge.

Of rockets and flares brought to tie

Protecting the Sen Cow.

People who visited the Cincinnati
900" on recent holiday greatly an
noyed the keeper of the sea-cow, a new
acquisition, by poking it with canes or
pencils, Exhausted by his efforts to
stop the practice, the keeper engaged q
tramp for 80 cents and told him to
keep track of how many people looked
at the manatee. At o'clock the keep
er looked up his substitute. How the
tramp had done his work is told In the
Cleveland Leader.
There's been more than 5000 people
here" said the tramp. 81 haven't had
time to reckon up the exact number
yet, and won't until audit my books"
Where's the paper you kept your
accounts onY asked the keeper.
81 din't have any paper" answered
the "hobo," as If proud of his ingenuity,
''but 1 had good soft lead pencil, and
l kept tab on the sea-cow's back"
He pointed to the patient manatee,
the back of which resembled a black
board IN a country school house after
the annual examination.

"The Lazy Worm"

A large district IN the middle Of
Porto Rico, with a population Of
100000, is afflicted with the "lazy
worm," and official efforts are being
made to improve the inhabitants con-
dition. A hospital has been establish
ed at Aibonito, with an endowment Of
$4,000 and will do what 1t can to
check the ravages of this minute rep
tile, of the existence of which the old
time native Porto Rican never had the
slightest notion. Last year an Ameri-
can medical officer, Captain Ashford,
treated $500 cases, and nearly all Of
them were cured. AS a result, the
population Is aroused to much enthusi-
asm, and the afflicted are applying in
great numbers for treatment. Hereto
fore the malady has been deemed in
curable.-Dundee Advertiser.

High Back Wolf a Caller.

Our esteemed fellow citizen, High
Back Wolf, was seen on our streets
recently Mr.. Wolf was accompanied
by his two wives. High is a good-na-
tured Indian, with bow legs, hooked
nose and humpish back, which latter
physical popularity in connection with
his aggravated appetite for raw dog
suggested his name to his compatriots
on the banks Of the Washita.
Mr.. Wolf was caught in the lurch
when the government enacted the one
wife law for the Indians and found
himself surrounded with two wives and
twenty-four children. High grinned
good naturally and consulted a lawyer
to devise ways and means of reducing
the wife surplus, but as there were no
annals among the Indians to tell which
wife was first attached to High Back
and neither Of them was willing to
jar loose from his tepee without legal
process High said: ugh, heap much
wife; heap lucky Injin," and began to
hustle for extra dead Wohaw and
CANNES.
Mrs. Wolf, Jr., is some four feet
across the breast, with height to match;
has dreamy black eyes and a cultured
way of histing her moccasins over mud
dy places on the Washita when wet
weather comes on. We have never
met the other Mrs. Wolf, but she Is
described as being a dark complex
toned, black haired, red face, high
cheekbone sister, who neither chews
tobacco nor drinks. The Wolf family
are we'll thought of by their neigh
bors.-Arapahoe Bee.

CAUSES THE DOG TO LAUGH.
Practical Joke Played by Master
Upon Intelligent Toby.

Practical Joke Played by Master
Upon Intelligent Toby.
"That dog of mine," said a man who
lives on the outskirts of the town, us
a wise dog" He was talking to an
other man who had called upon him
on a matter of business and thought it
would be wise to gain his good will by
interesting him in the pup, The beast
was as ugly a specimen of the canine
family as could be well scared up.
"What can he dO?" was asked.
"He can talk if he wishes to- said
the owner, ''but he don't want to. He
knows the value of keeping his tongue,
but now I'll show you something" ne
said, and explaining that he had names
for each one Of the three pipes that he
smoked, said to the dog: ''TOby, go
and fetch me Zach Taylor"
Toby wagged all the tail nature had
vouchsafed him and rushed upstairs
with cyclonic speed. He came back
with box in which was inclosed a
well-colored meerschaum pipe.
"Now," said his master, "get Bis
marck for me-" Away Toby rushed
and his owner said to the visitors, II
have that pipe in my pocket" Toby
was gone for some time and when he
came back he was a detected looking
animal His tail was between his legs,
his ears dropped and he looked as If he
wanted to cry. Then his master said:
ut was all mistake, Toby. 1 had It
and no wonder you couldn' find 1t.
Aren't you gladY
eff you believe my word Of honor"
said the man who witnessed all that,
"Toby laughed all over his face and
actually got upon his hind legs and
danced. Washington Star

was a mystery that no one could an
swer, since they had not been known
% do any business for the past twenty
pears, but every morning promptly at
o'clock Judge Westwood could be
seen vending his way down the street
with the dignity becoming the presi-
dsnt Of the PoolsviIle bank.
l remember him as though it was
yesterday, walking erect and straight,
looking neither to the right nor the
left, his head slightly bowed, as though
studying some Of the intricate financial
questions that were sure to harass him
On reaching his office. Reaching the
postoffice he invariably stopped and
the following conversation always took
place, never varying:
"Ah, good morning, John. My mail,
please. or has my cashier already been
hereT"
Nothing this morning, Judge"
"Ah, nothing? Good morning."
"Good morning, Judge"
Passing Oh down the street he would
sometimes encounter old man Steese,
whose place Of business was known as
The Poolsville Mercantile Company, and
had been a business of some consider
able pretensisns before providence had
been so unkind as to change the course
Of the river.
These two old men lived entirely In
the past, to them Poolsville was the
same bustling place as of old; they
seemed to take no note OF the decay
and ruin Of the old town; to them
each foot Of It's sod held some sacred
memory Of days long past.
CHANGED to hear their conversation
a. they met this morning.
'Ah, good morning, Samuel. How is
business to-day?"
Good morning, Judge. Good, very
good, thank you. How is it with you?'
Very brisk, indeed. thank you.
am very busy with the new road, as
you must know. All, Poolsville will be
a great city when the new road comes,
Samuel"
1t was at this moment that l espled
Allen Gordon coming briskly down the
street. The new road was a revela-
ton to me- must find out something
about It. Tapping him on the Shout
der, / asked: "Mr. Gordon, about the
new road the president Of your bank
is working on my connection with the

this affair. I must confess it Is a
