Next morning, at dawn, by the ocean
Met the four little laddies once more
And you haven't I'm sure, the least notion
Of the length of the faces they worei
And the land-boys at once said, wouldn't
Exchange any more for the world
And the merlads both shouted, we Couldn't"
AS themselves in the ocean they hurled
And the smiles straight returned to their faces;
They swan back for little more talk
The older one said :" OF all places
Just Think You poor people must walk
Those two-legged things have to do it.
And worse, too, than that, for out there
found-and had reason to rue it,
That every one sits on chair
Said one of the land-boys: "WelI, maybe
You think we've enjoyed it down here.
But my bed was too short for baby,
And made of wet seaweed-oh, deari
And all of your merpeople pointed
And laughed both at me and at him,
Just because we had legs and were jointed,
And didn't know their way to swim
And one of them, while was lying
On the side of an old sunken wreck
Woke me up, and found be was trying
To tie sharks fin round my neck.

So our dolphins we rode to the strand
] am done with the ocean forever;
There's no place for me like the land
Now, whether they dreamed it, or whether
1t happened, really can't say.
Do dreams ever come two togethers
They might maybe, once in way.
But this ! can tell you no grumbng

Their baseball, their swimming, and tumbling
From that day were nothing but joys.

THE sea was as blue as the sky,
And the sky as blue as the sea,
And gay little ripples were hurryine by,
For the west wind blew merry and free;
And two little lads were at play
On the shining white sand by the sea
They isd nothing to do for long summer day,
But be happy as happy could be.
And that the reason perhaps
For no other one seemed in the way
That before many hours these two little chaps
Began to be tired Of their play;
And one of them said to the other
With sigh and long Oh, dear mel"
Just think what thing it would be- little brother
If we could play under the sea!

" ] am tired Of the flowers that grow
In the common way here on the land;
1t is very much pretter down there below,
Where the sea-aowers grow in the sand
And if we lived under the sea,
Our clothes would be short and quite plain
Or to hurry in out of the rain
Then strange sound came up from the sea,
A little voice, piping and shrill
And what was It saying but just oh. dear me 4
And then Do not stop me- z0iH!
And suddenly, there on the strand,
Washed up by an extra large wave
Lay merlad, who held out his hand,
The land-boys' acquaintance to crave
What to do they at first were in doubt,
But he did look so jolly and fat
And they laughed as he wiggled about
On the beach like small acrobat
And the land-boys, no longer afrighteds-@
His face was so smiling and bright
Made bargain with him, much delighted
TO exchange for day and night
He called up his little twin brother,
And together they wiggled away,
While gleefully then went the other
Two chaps through the foam and the spray.
For moment they felt rather frightened,
And did not know where they could be;

And they bowed to the Queen OF the seal

MARATHON GIRLS" GO
DISTANCE AT WALDMANN'S.

The Marathon Girls" presented by
Phil Sheridan at Waldmann's Opera
House this week, go the full distance
and leave no doubt as to their ability
of being fnishers in a long race for
burlesque honors. New jokes, with an
untiring chorus of pretty women who
are willing to go any distance to please
the audience; a combination OF pretty
costumes and electrical effects and an
olio which is second to none, are only
a few of the generous things that al
be said about the musical travesty, "A
Run for Your Money" The old worm
out characters who have ever been fig
ureheads in the burlesque field have
been eliminated and popular ~personages
of the day substituted.
The opening burletta is a travesty on
Rudyard Kipling's THE Vampire The
acting of several of the cast, in this
playlet is amazing and shows that sew
eral of them have the ability to do
creditable work on the legitimate stage.
The entrance of Claire Evans, accom-
panied by DIR. Cook in his airship,
causes much mirth. i
In the olio Claire Evans and Babette
present a comedy sketch, THE Wrong
Mr.. Souse.'' Frank Hays and Anna
Suits would not exist as a team were
it not for the dancing of Hays. Miss
Suits has a very weak voice, but is
easy to look at. The feature Of the
evening was the Ameen Abou Hamad
troupe of fifteen Arabian whirlwinds.
For strength and agility no better act
of their kind has ever been seen here.
The Six Irish Colleens and the Athens
Comedy -Four do creditable work.

NEGRO MUSICAL COMEDY
SCORES AT THE COLUMBIA.

A clean-cut, w~ell-played musical
comedy is at the Columbia Theatre
his week, and it's worth seeing. The
company is unusual, in that it is COM
posed of negroes, but in fun-making
power nothing is lost by that fact. S.
H. Dudley is the star. The character he
assumes is thai of a shiftless. thorough
iy thick-skulled, amiable black man.
whose one overpowering desire is TO
shave the President" OF course, there
is a plot, but-what's a plot in a musi-
cal comedy?
The Smart Set Company, which in
cludes 45 people, should be commended
for their all around good work. When
one criticizes the play, 1t is but right
to bear in mind the price asked, and
to limit ones expectations. The pre-
duction is not a broadway show" by
any means, out 1t certainly is worth
much more than is being asked for it
this week.
The scenic effects are good. The sec
ond act, in which the set represents a
bayou of "ole MISSISSIPPI is the fun
NEST and the best staged of any. More
or less slap-stick comedy is introduced,
but the result is one continuous laugh.

committee on stationery of the Board
of F~reeholders, was given authority
at it's session late yesterday afternoon
to advertise for a three months supply
for use at the Court House. The con-
tract will date from November 1. There

however, that under h law, the con-
tract must be given TO the lowest re-

1t was decided to do way with he
award of contracts for extras as far
as possible. If there are any the sew

not the chairman alone, will have a
share in 1t.
