music. and though he did not. when
he wished 10 be enormously pleasant

scribe The gorgines and guzzlings

he never does want 10 be enormously
pleasant and Jolly than because he has
any higher notions OF personal enjoy
ment. The truth Is that neither Dick

posing OF Dickens and ThaAkeray dis
cusses Twain;
Mark Twain" he says, has lived
long enough to become much better
philosopher than either Dickens or
Thackeray."
Shaw does not wholly admire Twain.
Because" he says. you have only to
compare Twain and Dickens with Car.
lyle and Ruskin, with Eurypides and
Aristophanes. 10 see how. for want OF

interested In the fun and -pathos OF

STORY Of WILLOW,
vAGAbOND POET
PLAY WILL BE GIVEN AT WE
NATCHEE THEATRE NEXT
CHARGE OF MISS WINANS.

For two generations no master
piece of drama has been a greater
favorite of both public and actors
than ''Villon, the Vagabond Poet, y
as presented by Otis Skinner, and
the same plot as arranged for E. H.
Sothern in eff l Were King" The
great impersonators of the country
have also used it because of the
plots simplicity, strength and beauty
and because the play so effectively
lends itself to the demands of sue
cessful monologue.
Miss Mary Winans of this city has
given eff | Were King" with great
success in the east, and the Tourist
club has secured her to present it
under their auspices at the Wenat-
chez theatre next Wednesday eve
ming.
The scene is laid in France, at
the court of Louis XII, during the
war with Burgundy. Villon is a
poet of brilliant parts, though suf-
fering in rags and perjury. Being
of a cheerful disposition he is more
or less reckless of consequences at
a time when mems words frequently
send them to the gallows on a mo-
ment's notice. Accidentally he meets
with Katherine, a court lady, who
calls upon him for assistance in her
efforts to rid herself of Thibaut, the
powerful grand constable, whose suit
is unwelcome. The INDECENT poets
part is discovered and he is about
to be hanged by his mighty rival,
for Villon has now fallen in love
with the princess, when the king
himself intervenes, and agrees to
make Villon grand constable for one
week, during which time he is al
lowed to rule the kingdom. If,
within the seven days, he is able to
win the heart of Lady Katherine, she
not to know his real identity, it is
agreed to set him free. Villon takes
comamnd of the forces at the front
of the battle line, and not only wins
a victory in arms, but also wins his
royal lovers heart under most dra
matte circumstances.

AS the Wilson Creek World goes

Crab creek is coming down higher
