THE WAY OF A MAID.

Sue lOlQ MIN uol W tollle, anu IhSii
Because the poor wretch stayed
away,
Jeered at the fathlessness of men.
She told him that he must not stay,
And then, because the poor man
went,
Would scarcely speak to him next
day.
She told him he must never dare
To kiss her, and when he obeyed
She wept because he did not care.
These be the strange ways of a maid
That makes men old before their
time,
The mighty weak; the brave, afraid.

At the Majestic.
On Saturday night the Majestic
had house warming" in their new
home on Main street and was so well
patronized that they were unable to
seat the crowd. Misses Hunter have
made quite an attractive home for
their moving picture show with re-
decorations throughout. A pleasing
shade OF brown has been chosen for
the interior color scheme, with a
horizontal panel of Venetian scenery
around the entire house. The lights
are from brackets of dull brass and
of ground glass. three fixtures being
attached TO each side Of the room.
The screen has been repainted a daz-
zling white that insures clear pic
lures.
The house has been seated in opera
chairs and can seat one hundred
more than the old stand. The lobby is
in white.
Misses Hunter have always given
the public entire satisfaction and it
is in appreciation of their patronage
that the additional expense has been
incurred for their comfort.
