keith's Boston Theatre.

The phrase, everything new in
vaudeville starts at Keith's," is quot
ed country wide and there never was
greater demonstration of this fact
than last week when Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett, widow of the Con-
tederate general, appeared at Mr..
Keith's theatre in Boston and gave
her description of Gettysburg. 1t was
daring thing, not only for Mr..
Keith but for Mrs. Pickett, who was
able to hold vaudeville audience for
25 minutes with her wonderful de-
scription of the battle and now that
Bostonians have heard it there has
been a general demand for some
thing more from this talented woman,
and next week she will be heard in
an entirely different line, possibly the
famous Southern folklore stories,
which are in a way even more inter
esting than her vivid description of
Gettysburg

That the coming spring and sum
mer will witness a tremendous in
crease in the movement from the cit
les back to the farms and also
marked growth in the heavy tide of
emigration from the West to the East
already in progress. was the concen-
sus of opinion expressed at the an
nual meeting and dinner of the repre-
Agency. in New York City, last Fri
day. More than 60 representative
country real estate men from all sec
tons of the eastern states were pres
ent at this years reunion of the
Worlds Largest Farm Agency. With
out exception they brought with them
reports of unusual activity in the
country real estate field at the pres
ent time and of brighter promise than
ever for the immediate future. All
of these reports were verified by the
managers of the E. A. Strout Com
pany's offices in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
The whole of Friday afternoon was
taken up by a business meeting where
plans for carrying out the work of the
coming year We're perfected. At the
conclusion of the meeting the whole

A JOLLY CROWD HAVE A JOLLY
TIME

A JOLLY CROWD HAVE A JOLLY
TINE.
We hear church bells, school bells,
sleigh bells, tea bells and wedding
bells, but not very often in the
month of March do we hear cow bells.
But the unexpected always happens
as 1t did last Thursday evening when
an avalanche of friends and neigh
bors landed in the door yard of Mr..
and Mrs. M. G. Baker at Woodside
farm East Madison.
They were informed during the day
that one of their neighbors might be
in that evening. but when they went
to the door to see II any one was
coming, a din of shouts. laughter and
COW bells met their ears, the noise
then being about a half a mile away.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker knew at once
that that noise meant them and they
hastily made what preparations they
could to meet the inevitable. Four
large horses and a hay rack adorned
with the soft colors of spring roads
we're the means of conveyance, the
party used, Willis Blanchard being
the proud wielder of the lash The
hay rack contained about twenty-five
people, their ages ranging from three
years to -. 1t was indeed a sur
prise and the clear sky and full moon
added their smiles to the joyful occa-
sion. They were all finally extricat-
ed from the depths of the straw in the
rack and installed in the house on
chairs, tables, benches, boxes and any
place where seat could be obtained.
They did not sit still long, however,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Baker believe In
having a good time when young folks
get together. All took part In the
many games while mirth and laugh
ter reigned supreme. A delicious
treat was partaken Of. there being no
dyspeptics or poor appetites in the
company. 1t was In the small hours
of tho morning when they finally with
reluctance climbed back into the old
hay rack and made their way over the
terrible roads to their several homes.
not forgetting to leave behind them
many thanks and good wishes for the
jewellers at Woodside.
