might and main, too. There is not one
tolerable dancer. The wretched come
dians repeat jokes and capeTs from
better shows. When the end of the play
is reached no curtain is dropped. but
the next relay starts in with no hint
that a new round of the stuff is be

An entire shift of performers is not
made at that juncture. The explana-
tiOn has to do with the depraVity OF
some theatres at Coney Island. Not
an immOdest word is ever spoken on
the stage; the songs belong to the pop
ular music of the day; the humor is
coarse, but never indecent, and the
girls are no more scant of skirts than
those of "FOllies of 1908" or Three
Twins nor are they permitted to seem
aware of any one i'm the audience.
Whole families of poor folk-fathers,
mothers and children-sit at the ia

the show than from the beer. But to
the man who sits alone a waiter soon
whispers something like See the little

New York like her London speciality of
ditties with double meanings-One in

that l can't write out politely. was re-
ceiVed in silence; the second started up
a little laughter that was scared into
silence by the sound of itself; and
when she went off there wasn't suffi-
cient applause to call her back. So her
batch of such ballads wasn't deliv-
cred. New York likes TO look at stage
women in any state of undress, but
doesn't care to listen to their bare ut
terances And the beauties put on
view in "FOllies of 1908" are much
more enchanting than reprehensible.
In Three Twins" the lady's trouble
is the same as the Merry Widows. She
has defiantly faced the young man,
flung back her pretty head and de-
clared he shall kiss her, and of his own
volition, too. Having proclaimed her

but get away with it," And, at the
end of this waltZing season. what girl

herself as much the most striking fig

one of the Mccoy sisters, who estab-

sistant dancers on either side of such
singers as Pete Daley. that. when they
undertook to make separate reputa-
tions, it seemed somehow irregular and
not quite right. But Bessie of the Nc
COys is commonly deemed 'all right
in her present state. She developed it
at our HippOdrome, which is so vast
as 10 vitiate individualities, and in
Chicago, whence she has just returned
She has discovered something wholly
new and fascinating in personalities
Her appearance is something quite un-
like anything before seen. She is a
sort of cross between a BOtticeHi and
the latest agony in showgirl. Massed

has developed her activity so that the

Depths and Heights Of Musical Farce


New York. June 1S.-"Follies OF 1908
and Three Twins" are new plays OF
pieasantries here; but they differ in
KIND; for the one that proclaims its
folly in its title is an American ex-
travaganza OF the sort that Paris calls
review. and the one that announces
twins that are triplets is a farce sung
and danced as well as spoken. Girls

have become somewhat alarmed con-
corning the sinking of the ground
where different roads cross the marshy
strip. 1t is said that in several places
the ground has sunk nearly two feet
on the roads, while over farther in the
marsh the ground has lowered to such
an extent that snag of tree, which
is estimated to be about twelve feet
high has disappeared until only about
d foot is visible.
1t has been estimated by good au-
thority that fully 200 loads of gravel
have been dumped at these places on
different roads in that locality, but in
course of time seems to disappear.
1t is said that several years ago.
when the old Van Amburg circus was
travelling through this section of the
country, two camels, while stopping
for drink of water, stepped into one
of these DOGGY places and disappeared.
G. w. Robbins, county treasurer Of
Winchester, who was a stock-buyer III
that section several years ago, had an
experience at this particular place,
which nearly cost him his life. He
was driving a herd of cattle to Farm
land, when the cattle strayed into the
marsh and in rounding up the animals
his horse stepped into one of those
boys. BY the timely assistance of
several farmers he was rescued with
great difficulty.
1t is said the place is becoming
equally as bad as it was twenty years
ago, and gravel doesn't seem to have
any effect in f/1ng it up.
One night several years ago, two
girls, tnOw Mrs. Ola Hiatt and Mrs.
ECta Jackson of Goodview) were driv-
ing home from town when their horse
got off the road and slipped into one
of the boys. Their cries for help
aroused some parties who happened to
be passing and the ladies were res
cued. The horse was drowned and
the buggy is still in the bog with the
shafts sticking out or the ground. An
estimate of the number of stock that
has persisted at this particular place
has been placed at several hundred.

INSTITUTE SUCCESSFUL.

Organization.

New Paris, O., Jan. 1.-THE farm
ers' institute of New Paris, O., was a
successful event The speakers sent
here by the state, d. D. Harsh and G.
c. Housekeeper, were both good in
structors and entertainers. The sub
jects assigned them were carefully pre-
scented and later We're fully discussel
by the audiences. The topic Of alfalfa,
was carefully considered and the gener-
al advice was that it is a special crop
for the 81 ecial farmer and must be
sown on extra dry and fertile soil and
then not pastured.
The talk on tobacco was by Ed
Clark. The music for the occasion was
given by the ladies as announced.
while the male quartet composed of
Messrs. Benson, Behner, Beanie and
Pence. rendered several pleasing selec-
lions. The Ladies' Aid society was
we'll patronized at its dinners and real
lied about $50 for its treasury. The
meetings were fairly we'll attended \
large number were present from Ea-
ton, Richmond. New Madison. Eldora-
do and other places near by. The pre-
miums offered for best 5 ears of seed
corn brought out a large list of most
excellent corn. The judging was done
by Messrs. Harsh and Housekeeper
and was by score card. They found
much of il inferior as seed because of
its lack of maturity and recommend
great care and caution in selecting seed
before planting time. The premiums
were given 10 ALI. Murray. first on d
