and night, January 4, what is claimed
to be the most expensive, colossal and
unparalleled aggregation of colored
players ever organized. There are said
to be more clever comedians, master
musicians, dandy dancers and sweet
singers than in any other company,
while the lilo features of ten big speci-
atty acts, the gorgeous, grand first
part in the Royal Pam Grotto and an
original and overwhelmingly funny fin
ale, ga Fowl Deed, )" conspired to afford
minstrel patrons an evening of solid
enjoyment.
James Crosby, the inimitable coined.
ian, known as the tall talker, heads the
big company of clever colored perform
ers, which incldes the famous Cotton
Plckers' Band of sole musicians and
Oklahoma Octette; the Dixie College
Rangers in a series of Varsity class
songs, patriotic airs and old sweet
songs of the south; the Campbell Bros.
in an original comedy act; Williams &
Stevens, comic impersinators; Toney

BILE in skinning others in the same
territory if he cared to risk getting into
the clutches of the law by going imme-
diately over the same territory. Only
few months ago, one Marcus d.
Strouss beat lot of merchants in

Letting in advance on advertising which
he had solicited for local newspaper,
then skipping the town. Soon after
this Strouss came to Bristol and start
ed the same scheme with the Bristol

was and the sheriff came here and nab
bed the fellow. Strouss was taken

to get out OF his trouble in little

short while, then went to Johnson

There was one way to have avoided

A Man, a LYNX and Pack of Wolves.

Charles G. D. Roberts, who writes
about the backwoods and the forest
kindreds, and the fascinating game of
trap and snare and chase, has given us
one of his most robust and exciting
narratives in "On the Night Trail" in
the January McClure's. The story
of the backwoodsman who captures a
lynx and then turns it into an ally to
help him fight a pack of wolves, has
the swift, vigorous action of the keen
breath of out.of- doors adventure which
has not ceased to charm and thrill us
since the days when we read Cooper.
