The Land of Make Believe.


q EAUTIFUL Land of Make
ID Believe.
Land where all sorrow and care
We leave
! Land Of laughter and light and song,
All happy things to her belong.
Land of sunshine and cloudless skies;
There no tears bedim our eyes.
What We wish is ours; what We would
be, We are.
There Hope flashes her radiant star.
Unhindered We follow her pathways fair.
Unhindered We gather her treasures
rare
Beauty and riches and deathless fame;
Warming our hearts at Loves living
fame.
In the beautiful Land of Make Believe
The sweetest dreams our thoughts can
weave
And the loveliest things you ever knew
Have a wonderful way of coming true.
And to think this wonderful land belongs
To every soul mid the heart-weay
throngs.
Longing to break Cares lettering chain
And live their childhood over again.
No passport is needed, why longer stay?
To the magic realm let us haste away;
Take the wings of Fancy and joyfuIly
leave
For the beautiful Land of Make Believe.

Pitcher Needs an Alibi.

When a new pitcher has filled the bases
and sees him walking toward the plate he
begins framing an alibi as TO why he left
the big league. Old pitchers don't cheer
when he faces them under such conditions.

All of which gives rise to the impression
that our young hero is against base hits of
all kinds, an impression which is entirely
erroneous: 1t is only base hits of foreign
make, those manufactured by opposing
players, that arouse his ire. He makes no
secret of the fact that he dislikes them,
and even has been known to go out of his
way to discourage them. On the other
hand, he is particularly fond of those
which bear the Tinker label, and spends a
large share of his time in planting them in
safe places. Any pitcher in the National

An Old PLAY
but Always
a Good One

There could be no more welcome an
nouncement for the amusement-loying
public than the appearance here of
THE Old Homestead at the Grand
opera house. Monday, October 21 1912.
The dear old pastoral play itself is by
this time so familiar to every one that
any attempt to describe it would be
supererogation. The mere mention
of the names of Joshua Whitcomb, Cy
Prime, Seth Perkins, Aunt Matilda
and Rickety Ann, is sufficient to bring
to mind all Of these delightful rural
characters, and at the same time arise
in the background the pictures of the
old farm, the homestead in Swansey,
Grace church on Broadway in New
York, and the aristocratic mansion Of
Henry Hopkins, the metropolitan mer-
chant and millionaire.
The company this season is practi-
cally the same as last, and the pro-
duction is said to be perfect in every
detail.
