Texas" (which comes to the
Opera House has absorbed much
of the breath and dignity of the
Lone Star State. The story is
one of human interest, bereft of
absurd sensational incidents The
characters are all taken from life,
and each one is a type in itself.
Rough, hard {. riding cowboys,
grizzly old ranchmen, swarthy
Mexicans and lovely women
make a dramatic personage that
is sufficiently varied to suit the
most exacting first nighter, ].
Mauldin Feigl, whose was born
in the Lone Star State is the
author of"Texas" and has based
the story on actual facts. Pas
quale the greaser william, has CON
ceived and intense dislike for the
heroJ ack Dallam, and endeavored
to brand him as a cattle tibet and
rustler.. Trouble ensues, and Pas
quale for his pains, carries The
mark Of Dallam's bullet on his
trigger finger, The villain puf-
sues his evil ways, however, and
eventually meets, death at the
hands of the: hero in a thrilling
knife combat. The. engagement
of Texas" is for one night only,
and it is the first presentation in
this city It's success in New
York, Chicago, Boston and all
the large cities has been pheno-
menal.

Labeled.

A few years ago Miss Ethel Barry
more, the actress, was beseiged by a
number Of artists who begged the
privilege Of making sketches Of her
pretty face. Too gracious to refuse
she freely granted permission in every
case. Among those for whom Miss
Barrymore posed was young artist
Of the impressionist school, who, after
considerable labor, produced a ghastly
yellow and green portrait which was
supposed by the budding artist, at
least to be likeness Of the actress.
When 1t was finished the painter
bravely took it to Miss Barrymore and
asked her to sign it and write some
thing or other-some little sentiment
above her signature.
Miss Barrymore gasped as she looked
at the wretched portrait and then
quickly pulling herself together, smiled
and wrote:
"This is not a sunset; it is Ethel
Barrymore"

Iona Out of the Sea,

Mr.. Gaynor, an Irishman celebrated
for his good humor, was dining one
Friday with friend, and fish was the
only meat served. Gaynor was par
ticularly fond Of haddock and seated
himself near fine specimen. His
olfactory nerves, however, soon made
him aware that the fish was not too
fresh. He first lowered his mouth to-
ward the head of the fish and then his
ear, as if conversing with it The wo-
man Of the house, perceiving his Pc
culiar motions, asked him whether he
wished anything.
Nothing" replied Gaynor, nothing
at all, madam. l was merely asking
this haddock whether he could give me
any news of my friend, Captain Muir
ply, who was drowned last Monday,
but he tells me that he knows nothing
of the matter, for he himself hasn't
been to sea these three weeks"

When She Laughed.

A somewhat self satisfied, vainglori
GUS and grumpy English actor com
planned that the noted actress Ellen
Terry continually laughed in one of
his most important scenes. He had
not the courage to tell her his objec
tions, so he wrote her letter Of heart
broken complaint, in which he said:
81 am extremely sorry to tell you that
1t is impossible for me to make any
effect in such and such scene if you
persist In laughing at me on the stage
and so spelling the situation. May
ask you to change your attitude, as the
scene is a most trying one?"
Miss Terry's answer was very direct
and to the point for she wrote: "You
are quite mistaken. 1 never laugh at
you on the stage. I wait till I get
home"

English politics are clean. Now and

said, ran last year for parliament in a
small midland town. My friend was
elected, and among his congratulatory
visitors on election night was a shah
by chap smoking clay.
"This chap slapped my rich friend
on the back, shook both his hands vio-

thick perhaps with ale.

When one days sky is blue above

SEASONABLE.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

TN June the ancient question
4 On moonlit nights gets popped
Unless by an injunction
The eager youth is stopped.
Though painfully he stamners
Whenever she Is near,
He manages quite deftly
To make the meaning clear.
There's something in the season
And in the air of June
Or maybe in suggestions
Reflected from the moon
That turns a fellows fancies
To thoughts of welded bliss
And makes him in the shadows
Go 1lshing for kiss.
He rather likes the fishing,
And with the proper bait
He finds that for a nibble
He doesn't have to wait.
Perhaps a little taffY,
A promise-cross his heart
And then they swear in chorus
They nevermore will part.
And that's why it is easy,
The way is pleasant made,
For if in fear he falters
She prompts him as first aid,
So in the moonlight fishing
He makes n pretty catch,
And then they talk 1t over
And call the thing a match.
