raised Cain with us last week because
we said he was stuck for free meals
on account of the sun not shining
March 1st. All right Joe, we apollo

twice during the day; but that is what
we get for printing such things

the Empire. even if it hasn't "1o4o

Those attending the Unique theatre
Tuesday evening had the pleasure OF
hearing Mr.. Brooke's handmade
phonograph which was certainly a
treat, as it is loud enough to be heard
plainly all over the theatre, and one
