While Putnam is a pretty good place
to live In, IL we had to be transported
to India, we would pick the Rars tenn

that the Rar was willing.

Then the snothrht man went to work
again and Prudence and Harry sang
That's What He Taught Me To Do"
to encore. The curtain on the first
act rang down on the finale, I'VE Are
OF to Call on Uncle SAM"
The lights went up and it could be
seen that the house was packed and
many were standing in the rear. The
crowd showed by their faces that they
were being well entertained. The am
algamated whole spelled good nature
and appreciation. Compliments be-
gan to fly and the lights in the theatre
took to winking at each other in mute
approval.
Then came the curtain call for the
second act. We forgot to tell you that
before the first act was over Mrs. Cad
din had taken a shine to the bunch of
Budhists and the two Yankee boys and
invited them all TO step over the pond
and be her guests at her Riverside
/ Drive estate in Little Old New York.
OF course they all accepted and some
that didn't trailed the biz tent. Any
how, all arrived up above one hun
j tired and twenty-ffth street, the Rar,
katcha. Dick, Harry and all. OF
course Mrs. Chattie and her daughters
were there to receive them.
Katcha was keeping up his devil
ment with the women and the Rar,
Dick and Harry were all getting sore,
The glooms and the Rar were now as
anxious to get rid of Katcha as they
We're before to bring him to life, and
it fell to the Dick and Harry outfit to
undo what they had done. There was
more talk of slow poison and being
fed to the lions, which put Dick and
Harry on the anxious seat. They fin
ally decided that il they could get the
amorous red vest off Of Katcha things
would look brighter for them. They
made one attempt and were succeed
ing beautifully when Salejah called
Katcha's attention to the fact that the
Rar had been left all alone with his
four wives. This was more than
kateh could stand. SO he buttoned up
his vest, slipped back into his coat and
went to the Rar's aid.
The two gloom girls kept on Dick
and Harry's trail and the two boys
were afraid not to give them attention
having in mind the lions and the poi.
son. OF course this made Chattie's
two daughters Jealous and they gave
hatcha the come-on glance and Dick
and Harry also got green-eyei But
all the time the main objective was to
curb Katcha's love making.

placed under chair and Katcha en-.

stone, butted into the temple and pro-
ceeded to get in wrong right away
with the Rar and the two gloom la
dies The boys didn't show any re-
spect to Katcha or any god of the tenn
pie or anything. They told the veiled
ladies that the place looked good to
them so they just dropped in, probably
hoping to get drink or something, 1t
being so far from America. But the
gloomy ones didn't think II funny a
bit. neither did the Rar. None of them
cracked a smile. and Dick and Harry
began TO think that the statue Of lib
erty would look good to them, bot the
question was how to escape.
Luckily for the two boys Salejah
was a CRATER. She fell for parse of
gold and delivered them pair of dis
guises and they went out of the tenn
pie to dress, there being so many wo-
men around.
For some reason or other the Indian
crowd of Budda worshippers wante
to get Katcha out of their temple. This
was an opening for Dick and Harry.
After they had mystihed the Rar and
his crowd of wives, wizards, slaves
and women with ''now you see it and
new you don't" bit of lie &c sdemain the
Rar got in q few threats ON his own
account and it was death by poison oil
being a meal for the hungry lions foI
Dick and Harry unless they brought
katcha TO life.
i You may well imagine that the Dick
and Harry sketch got busy imme date
ly. The crowd in the temple sur
rounded them and the audience could
MT flash their lamps on how the pair
worked, but the result was that Kat
|, cha came to life dressed in full eve
ming dress with a red vest that would
make any volunteer freman's eye
turn green.
And Katcha was the real thing with
the ladies. He was masher and lady
killer and full of repartee, most Of il
being one-sided. as he liked TO talk
: Anyhow the Rar's wives fell for hin
like they would fora powder puff on 1
hot July day. SO did all the other wo
men.
And then in comes Mrs. Chattit
Gaddin and her two daughters, Dolly
and Prudence. They were all som,

little ones and Kateha-koo fell for tn,
dame and her daughters too. He want
ed them all and he got then going a
that. In fact everyone in that tempt,
was far from being woman hater
Perhaps the Rar was the nearest to it
He didn't seem to care hang how
much Katcha flirted with his quartz

With the entrance Of Chattie anS

before now the Rar is back in India
and Dick and Harry and Dolly and
Prudence have settled down to light

There were some spectacular num-
