POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"

Ii is not often that we are
tempted to find fault with a pro-
Queer Of plays tor being too gen.
erous, but that is the kind of play
producer Frederic Thompson hap
pens to be. He wants to give too
much for the money. As a result
Of his extravaganza he has made
"PolIy of the Circus case of
"POlIy" aud the ci'cls. Tn. re are
not many people who will object
to this, however. There may be
some who will agree with us that
Polly is so much more interesting
and so much more important to
the little drama of which she il a
part than a hundred circuses
could ever be that the shop scene
should be eliminated. But proba-
bly, there will be az many more
who will enjoy the sight of a real
lady bareback rider turning sum-
mersaults eff the back of a real
horse ambling patiently around
the inside of real ring and keep
ing time to the DOM -Oah horn of
real circus tune. 1t is not often
playgoers object to being offered
too much entertainment, even
though the extra measure proves
a clear case of assault and battery
with poor old drama as victim
"Pol)y Of the Circus is a pretty,
appealing story of hearts of the
tried aud true type, until the CIR
Gus happens into it, then we have
q three ring circus in full opera
ton on the stage.
Among the many features of
this play, "Po!ly of the Circus,
which will be seen at Eiks Theatre
on Wednesday, Dec. 9TH, is "Llt-
tie Hip, the educated elephant
that performs stunts unheard of
for the amusements of old and
young; Barlow's dog and pony
circus, and BiDgo", the celebrated
thoroughbred Arabian horse; also
clowns, acrobats, bareback riders,
ringmasters, aerial AMI horizontal
bar acts
This is the same production
that appeared at the Liberty The

THE ORANGE.

On Monday, last week, we, in
company with Mr. Il s. Snyder,
visited the favm Of bis son, Mr..
Robert Snider, in the Second
Ward. Among the things there
which impressed us most was pos
sibly a mandarin tree, which bore
as its tribute to this years harvest
easOn more than thousand fruit.
The tree was beauty and its
fruit was lucious. There seems
no good reason why that tree
should not have had a couple of
hundred or more nelghbors of its
kind, adding a thousand fold to
the land value Of the acre, save
the fact that citrus trees have
been destroyed by cold, and conf
dence will be Observation-Disclosures
by study of the official reports
Of the weather--but by the expert
ments of the more venturesome of
our tree loving farmers.
This one tree, with it's thousand
oranges valued at lc each, would
represent crop value of $40. If
an acre were planted to such trees.
10 feet apart each way, there
would be 1876 trees. At $40 each
tree, the harvest would represent
quite $4,000 At &c an orange such
an acre would yield it's $1,000 per
year. An orchard Of ten acres of
such trees would mean compe.
tency-if not independence. II,
would justify liberal expenditures
in fighting the enemies of the
trees, in cultivating and fertiliziDg
them, and in protecting them by
the best known means. from injury
by cold during extremely severe
winters. The trees now IN exis
tence have had possibly but little
care-they have shifted for them.

Tom. Tom, the piper's son,
Thought to steal another one,
But when. with bacon 30 cents,
He thought upon the consequence,
And what he probably would get
In case he landed in the net,
The lawyers he would have to hire
To save him from the butchers ire,
The money Cudahv would spend
To push it to the bitter end,
The merciless concern of Swift
TO see he was not set adrift,
The sum that Armour, IF he fled.
Would offer for him live or dead,
And how the unforgiving lust
For vengeance would move the trust
To make example Of him lest
Some other piper's son protest
Against pork chops at thirty fiat,
And picked pigs feet selling at
Sixbits a dozen. sOuse a bit,
And sausage even close TO it
When Tom considered it, in brief,
And also how much more thief
He would be this time than before,
He wisely passed the butchers door.
Rejoiced that self had stood the test,
And went on hoping for the best.
