KEEP HOME FIRES BURNING"

"Tipperary" has been supplanteG
in popularity. among the ,Britons by
the following:
They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardships
AS the soldiers pass along,
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cherry song:
Refrain
Keep the home-fres burning.
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home;
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark clouds inside out
Till the boys come home.
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress!"
And we gave our glorious ladies,
Honor babe US do no less;
For no gallant son of freedom
To tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of Friend"
Those who have been at the front,
after many months of war, say that
the new song fits the spirit of the
trenches far better than livelier more
stirring martial song would.

Cosmos.

Those who believe in occult powers
are seemingly having their faith real
iZed, and those who do not are being
mystifed by the wonderful perform
ances of the noted Zancigs at the Cos
mos Theater this week These remark
able people, who have had scientific
recognition both in this country and
abroad. after a three-year retirement
are giving their exhibition this week
IN personal compliment to Manager
Brylawski. Nine. Zancig remains on
the stage to describe, giving full
names and sometimes occupations of
persons in the audience who pass to her
husband as he goes quickly through
the theater cards, coins. jewels and
other articles. No words pass between
them, but the description quickly
comes from the stage. In the second
half of the performance those who
wish in the audience present written
or printed questions to assistant
and sometimes ask questions mentally,
which Mr.. Zancig quickly answers
from the stage without having handled
or had them repeated to him. In this
he uses a large crystal globe which
is supposed to supply the answer The
possibility of assistance from confed-
crates is apparently entirely eliminated
in the performance, and some shake
their heads in wonder, while others
seem in doubt what to believe.
A good vaudeville bill supplements
this big offering, including a novel
balancing act by Ed Estus, which is
picturesque: some pretty character
songs in costume by Lewis and White,
two girls with good voices: combina-
ton of breezy dialogue, juvenile imi-
tation and graceful dancing by Paula
and Boynton, and some excellent music
by the famous Gallerini Four, a quar-
tet of splendid Italian musicians. The
big laughmaker, which also has its
pathetic moments, is The Old Minstrel
Man.. presented by Harry Brooks, d
clever character actor, assisted by
Katherine Clinton and company. The
