Popular Band Concerts.

Arrangements are now being made
by Mr.. Farmhouse with Manager Ow.
ems for popular priced concerts to be

have not yet been completed, but it is
likely that one concert will be given
each month, or oftener, with admis-
sion prices of 10, Is and 25 cents.
These should prove exceptionally pop
ular in view of the increased interest
which has been taken in the free out
door concerts given by the same or
ganization every Saturday night dur
ing the past summer.

Jeff Peters Almost

There was one time 1 came near

do a prohigate and illaudable action,
but 1 was saved from it by the laws

maybe our knowledge of railroad

read it 'triplets,' and sent the photo
Anyhow, II was uSefui TO us to show

Me and Andy never cared much to
do business in New York. 1t was too
much like Dothunting. Catching suck
ers in that town is like dynamiting a
Texas lake for bass. All you have to
do anywhere between the North and
East rivers is TO stand in the street
with an open bag marked Drop pack

loose bills taken You have a cop
handy TO club pikers who try TO chip
in pOstOffice orders and Canadian
