COUNTRY BILLS MISTAKE.
(Composed by r. J. Fitzsimons.)

NNVkAQO0Su Wy - = 1SD0A4AOSA0.y
It's dreary in the country,
Bill Brown to me did say.
Il think I'll give Up farming
And cut out making hay.
The army worm and weevir
Have put me ON the blink
To raise crop and harvest it
IL easy-I don't think.
Now, II really wasn't farming,
That drove Bill to dispair,
It was sweet young lassie,
With puffed up bunchy hair.
She smiled at him one evening,
When to our town he came,
And asked him one vet day,
To come in out the rain
They sat out on her gallery,
And the talk she minded him,
It dazzled all his ideas,
And made his poor head swim.
And when he left her house tina
night,
It was most dreadfully late,
He knew he'd never happy be,
Unless she'd be his mate. !.
1.-Two years from then l. saw Bill
1 A frown was on his face,
His forehead was oil wrinkled,
Hie looks were q diRGrace.
Where was the girl with puffy hair,
His sweetheart, don't you know?
HE'D taken her to Reno
| About year ago.
To live with her was one torment,
] She roped him In 20 easy,
/ guess he'll go back ID the sticks,
/ And live on bacon greasy.
Give me the country life sublime,
T Where everything II bliss.
III We can't ind 4 girl to love
There's mules and COWS to kiss.

AT THE PRINCESS.

In today's program at the Prin- cess there will be a companion film 10 What Avails the Crown" shown yesterday. and the advance notices on the new film The Eternal Con fiict" is to the effect that today's picture will be even better than the one shown yesterday from the Rex studio.
 ''The Eternal Conflict is pictSrc drama of great heart interest a story which will hold the interested attention of all from start to finish. It is one of a great series of dra- matic reels which the Rex people have produced during the Iast few weeks.
 "Jifn's Atonement," an Imp. picture, is another great success, by com- pany which is noted for it's successes. The photography in this picture IS perfect and the characterization is nothing if not simply great
 The third picture of the program is Liberty picture, Roses and Thorns," and the drama enacted on the canvas is just what the name im- plies, mixture of the pathetic and the ridiculous.
 As a whole the program is another of those ideally blended bills, well designed to entertain and to leave desire for more
 Yesterdays program was strong one, one of the best yet shown, bus the advance matter on today's pie lures indicates that those shown this afternoon and evening, will be just as good. if not better
 The Princess is demonstrating it's claim as the most comfortable the ater in the city these hot afternoons and nights. One visit will satisfy yo;i on this score and will settle your choice as to the place of amusement for you in the future.

This is won derful production. and who is there who has read this classic by Dickens who has not been entranced with the life story of Sidney Carlton In these three reels. which tell the story Of "The Tale of Two Cities, Maurice Costello plays the part of Sidney Carlton. while Florence Turner. "The Vitagraph Girl" purtrays Lucy. Charles Kent is assigned the charac- ter of Dr. Manette and George De- lany plays Charles Barney. The story is staged with wonderful effects, shown by special music and soun1 effects and one can almost hear Sid ney Carlton, as he mounts the steps of the guillotine, say. Tt Is a far. far better thing that l don than have ever done. It is far far sweet CT rest l go to than have ever known
 Those who mill this Vitagra9h spe- cial today a story that Henry Miller, the celebrated actor made famous, will neglect the greatest clasic in motion pictures ever seen here
