ANGRY CLOUD KING.

Co on, little rain-drops," said the King of the Clouds.
 Hurry up, Nurse Fog, give the Mist grandchildren an airing. Let them see the earth for time, and let them keep the earth people from seeing far. You must help them with that, Nurse Fog. There is no one who can do that work better than you" ended the King of the Clouds
 Yes, sir" said Nurse Fog, I've al- ways been pretty famous for the way l manage the Mist grandchildren and the way I look after my business. When l get to work people can't see far. They say, Isn't the fog terrible this morning? We can hardly see across the street.
 Yes, l like to do my work we'll It gives me a great deal of pleasure. And 1t makes no difference whether the earth people can see or not when there is fog, though I really am glad they can't, when I can see perfectly. It's so easy when one Is the fog one self" And Nurse Fog looked very happy. Only the King of the Clouds and his friends would have known though that Nurse Fog was so happy for the others could not have seen her. But the King of the Clouds was wear ing his magic fog glasses which make the fog quite clear to him.
 "Go on, little grandchildren, do just as your good old Nurse Fog suggests every time. We've had her in the fam lily always and we're not going to lose her, so mind her. grandchildren, mind her." the King of the Clouds said And do more work, rain-drops," he continued. "Yes, all of you work and play for all you are worth. I want to have n good storm, do" Just then some people down on the earth looked out of their windows and said, as the rain-drops spattered right on their heads:
 "Oh dear. the rain still keeps up. doesn't it?"
 Well, wasn't the King of the Clouds mad then!
 Did you hear that, Nurse Fog1' he shouted
 Did you hear that rain-drops, my fine army, my mist grandchildren And they all spattered and said, I've | heard 1t, Your Majesty" "Then just punish them for that, V the King of the Clouds said. That's a pretty thing to say about my work. Just twisting 1t all upside down-up- side down." he muttered grossly.
 "Why did that make you so angryr' asked the army of rain-drops. Aren't you used by this time to hearing such things from the earth people? We thought 1t didn't make you angry any more"
 You don't understand" said the King of the Clouds. You don't real iZe how they insulted my work. They

"We'll Give Them a Good Storm" did insult it, yes they did, and I'm an gry, I'm absolutely furious"
 They were all raining harder than ever. They had become so excited.
 Tell us just what made you so es- pecially angry, King of the Clouds" they said.
 Didn't you hear those people saying that the rain was still keeping up?"
 "Yes, we heard that" they said. You are used to such things now we thought, as we've said before. Why did you mind that?"
 Because" said the King of the Clouds, they were insulting my work They were saying that the rain was keeping up. Now everyone knows that the rain goes down; it doesn't keep up. How can it keep up when it's rain ing?
 "They did not stop to think and so they insulted my work. The very idea of my doing things upside down. No, when it rains, it rains down, and it doesn't keep up. That's too absurd to even talk about. As if it could keep up when it's raining down." he scolded angrily.
 You said the right thing when you said it was too absurd to talk about" said the army of raindrops, but we'll give them good storm as punish ment anyway"
 My fine army" said the King of he Clouds, who was happier now. And | good storm they. certainly gave the arth people.

Bradna & Derrick never have offer
cd such an enhancing exhibition of
riding and graceful feats upon thor
oughbred horses as in the present
act. Miss Bradna performs with all
that charm of manner and exception
al talent which has made her a prime
favorite throughout the land. Mr.
Derrick in daring feats excells his well
known reputation in even more linn
tied space.
Yates & Reed, versatile and tai
ented dialogue and song experts
spread an aura over comedy. Mr.
Yates still does a bit of impersona

wonder from the feminine portion o
audiences. Mr.. Reeds vocal attain
ment is perfection and both excel il
their offering of wit and wisdom il
laughable form.

LYRIC

One of the greatest comedy success
es of a decade will be seen at the
Lyric next week when the Poll Play
ers present Ready Money" the inter-
national triumph by James Montgom-
cry. This play, which ran for many
months each in New York, Chicago,
London and Boston, owes not little
of its success to the fact that it is alb
solutely clean and wholesome in
theme and treatment; possesses a con-
sistent story of graphic and absorbing
interest, and that its delightfully."- in
volved factors of rove and modern
romance make for a play of decided
interest to women, while men are held
spellbound in witnessing the efforts
of the hero to achieve, large and inn
mediate wealth-ready money This
is no mercenary ambition, but simply
as a means to overcome the objections
of a prospective mother-in-law
against the, intended marriage of her
daughter to a poor man. In the first
act Stephen Baird, the hero, appears
dead broke on New Years Eve. He
has an undeveloped gold mine out
West. An extraordinary event now

Ives, a man of plausible speech anG
manners, who induces Stephen to ac-

for circulation, but to show his friends
that he has plenty of money. From
this point there is a constant series
of surprising incidents, which carries
the auditors irresistibly through the
second and last acts with the interest
well nigh at boiling point to the fina
curtain. incidentally the mine turns
out a success and Stephen and Ives
escape the efforts of the United States
Secret Service agents who were after
them as suspected holders of counter
felt money. However, Stephen wins
his bride and everything ends happiIx
