LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Much Like Parallel Case.

MT. Editor: It strikes me there could not be any more ground for Theodore Roosevelt's foolhariness in attempting to patch up his broken promise than the man had for violating his broken matrimonial promise, as given in 8 recently published in The Bulletin, which was as follows:
 q thought you said when you got your second divorce that you would never marry again?"
 T know I did"
 But, you say now that you are go- ing to marry that rich widow"
 True, but you remember that 1 made that announcement two years ago. What l meant when l said that I would never marry again was that 1 would not marry during that year"
 But you promised the judge that you would never marry again. Then if you marry for the third time, you may decide later on to take even 8 fourth of fifth wife?"
 Don't be unreasonable. l couldn't promise that How could I foresee the conditions that might arise to induce me once more to march to the altar Those conditions have arisen in the form of @ charming and wealthy wid- Chs W OdAd IL pO LtL4l VI JAAoL IL I " to allow thiss wealthy widow to live a life of loneliness and sadness because of a statement l made two years ago? ?'
 Now, Uncle Sam and Theodore were never exactly married (except perhaps in Thedore's minD, but they have twice been partners. and are in self estimation very much alike. One thinks he is the owner of the greatest repIb- lie on earth, and the other regards himself as the greatest republican since Lincoln. And Theodore wants to be a partner with the old fellow again.
 This reminds me that Andrew Jack son married his wife twice, although he was never divorced from her. And that Theodore seems to think, contrary to precedents, that the union ibetween himself and Uncle Sam) must and shall be preserved.
 By the eternal" as old Jackson once expressed it. But if R. and s. should be united again, the people will have to do it, and @ fitting motto for the couple would be "E pluribus unum"

AUDITORIUM OFFERS ANOTHER
 EXCELLENT SHOW.

For the first three days of the week tho Auditorium is presenting a first class show from start to finish, and everything on the programme is feature.
 The headline act for today, is the famous Weslynn Trio, in their original combination of mirth and music, en- titled 'The Prima Donna-The Maid" These three accomplished performers are artists in their line of work, and their present act is a musical comedy condensed down to the regular time of 8 vaudeville act. There is as much merit in their twenty minute offering as there is in some three-act musical comedies on the road. The Sweetest Singer from the Sunny South is LiI- Han Carter, "the Magnolia Blossom" Mss Carter has a blackface character change act that is decidedly unique She p9rtrays three familiar darkey characters that will be readily rec ognized They are an old southern aunty, Topsy, and lastly a minstrel man. Her clever character work and melodiOus voice make Miss Carter's set one of great merit.
 Martini and Troise are the third vaudeville number, and they present a versatile style sort of act, which in- cludeS comedy singing, dancing and musical novelties. The three acts above mentioned go to make up one of the strongest bills seen in this part of the state for some time This year, as all well informed persons know, is the centenary anniversary of the birth of the worlds greatest novelist, the immortal Charles Dickens. The Auditorium has taken advantage of the fact and has secured for today and tomorrow a two-reel feature picture adapted from one of Dickens best Works Nicholas Nickleby." The man. sgement of this house has arranged with tho Reid & Hughes Co. to have a special sale of this great work, and 1t may be secured at the Boston Store for 4bc complete. each copy of the book having a free ticket to the Audi torium enclosed. If you have read the book you will like the picture; if you have not. you will like it anyway. The Auditorium is undertaking the most thorough and extensive Improvements ever made by any theater in this city, a complete electric ventilating equip ment is being installed. also two new devices never before seen.

THE SONG OF oOAa.

 In dim Triassic age; Earth's history stlli was in ita morn. A vast unwrittOn page. Amid the wash of tropic lake
 And steaming estuary The giant growtha of fern and hrahs

 Beneath the silent earth, When, in creations yesterday.
 Mans pigmy race had birth Yet man fl was that broke my sIssp. Ills was the power to smite My letters off, and from the deep
 To loose my latent might. Hammers the drill. the pick is swtsns through veins and seams and dikos Then press a horde of Babel tongue Giusoppea. Ponies and Mikes: l that have slept since earth wa
