The Girl I Left Behind Me, which was written by David Belosco and Franklin Fyles, is a beautiful love story, interwoven with the thrilling scenes of life on the frontier, where the brave soldier boys are fighting the blood-thirsty Blackfoot Indians. Cupid plays an important part in the battle scenes and shoots his arrows remorselessly into the hearts of half a dozen beautiful American girls while their brave lovers are being fired at by their savage foes. If you have never seen Rosina Vokes act you know as little about the possibilities of comedy as a blind man does of the beauties of Bougeureau's painting. If you have never laughed at her fun, you have no more idea of how sore laughter can make you than a Hottentot who has never been outside of his own country has of ice skating and chilblains. If you have never heard Rosina Vokes sing, your knowledge of the effect that can be produced by inflection of the voice and facial expression is as rudimentary as a horned toad's learning about the trigonometrical functions of acute angles, tri-angles and the computation of the coming of comets. For fine assortment of kid gloves, opera and cloth shades. Lace House. You feel winter approaching. Furnaces and Heating Stoves are interesting now.

How many thousands have been delighted and charmed by the music of her voice, and amused by the artlessness of her manner. If it were only possibly to know, no doubt that the world has been made brighter by her living in it, for she has brought sunshine into the hearts of mankind, and taught them what, after all is said and done "life is what we make it." Her's is not the art of the photographer nor scene painter, but the water-color artist; full of light and grace; and for old time's sake every lover of the best in art will pray that Rosina Vokes may drink deep of the perpetual fountain of youth so that she may be permitted to show have been delighted and charmed by the coming generation, still in pantalets and pinafores, what pure high-toned acting it. There is in the name of this jolly little English woman something to make an old heart young: something to revive memories that have long been covered with the dust of time. Miss Vokes and her clever associates will appear in this Theatre on Thursday, September 28. The lady is by no means a stranger to our Theatre goers.

How Mark Twain won a hat. "I'll bet a new hat I can invent a question that a dozen men will return the same answer to." said Mark Twain casually as he was lounging in a smoking car on the New York Central, some time since. "I'll take that." Said a Canadian publisher, who had just made it up with the author after the two had gotten all the free advertising they could out of a threatened libel suit. "Produce your question." "It is this," said Twain. "Have you heard that Smith is dead?" The Judges went through the whole train, and every man, woman and child who was asked the question replied: "What Smith?" Twain wears the hat – the largest size known to the trade – for his head enlarged considerably after that triumph. A certain minister was preaching a sermon on the prodigal son. He took as his text, "And when he came to himself." "We have here, brethren," said he, "an instance of the wonderful depth of the meaning there is in Scripture. We see how low the unprincipled young individual had fallen. ‘When he came to himself. What does it mean? Well, look at home. What do we do when our money's gone, and we have no credit? What do we turn to? The pawn shop. So did he. First his coat would go. He might live a week on that. Then his waistcoat. That wouldn't serve him long. Lastly, his shirt would follow; and – ah! Then my friends ‘he came to himself." He couldn't pawn himself, and so he went home to his father. Clara Morris, in her address to the Women's Congress at the World's Fair, closed her eloquent effort with the following lines directed to those who seem admission to the great temple of dramatic art: "And now my last words. I speak to those whose eyes my eyes have never met, whose hands my hands have never pressed – to the actresses of the future. I exact one promise; when you stand upon the threshold of that great temple take upon yourselves this vow – whether within you win fame and a name, or whether you serve in some outer court, when all is done leave upon its pure alter the white flower of a blameless life."

It is called "Three Blind Mice" and possesses great elements of fascination. The puzzle consists of a shallow box about seven inches square, in the centre of which is a realistic three-hole mouse trap. Three life-like little mice of papier-mache are furnished with the puzzle, and these being placed in the bottom of the box the problem is to run each one into a separate hole in the trap. The operation looks simple, but the mice are strangely agile and perverse. They wander around in the most erratic mouse-like way, and are as hard to corner as the live animal. The secret of their locomotive powers lies in their construction. They are extremely light in themselves, but inside of each and partially projecting through the bottom is a laden bullet about a quarter of an inch in calibre. This bullet is placed toward the forward end of the mouse which really rests on it, the after part trailing and acting as a rudder. The mice run over the bottom of the box with the utmost freedom, but seem to have an aversion for the trap. The top of the box is handsomely lithographed in illustration of the story of the "Three Blind Mice," who through lack of wisdom, "all took after the farmer's wife." In consequence of which she "cut off their tails with a carving knife." It doesn't do to take up the Three Blind Mice Puzzle unless you have some time at your disposal, for it is difficult to put it down again until all the mice are safely in the trap. Be sure to get one of them. For sale at the Golden Rule Bazaar. E. Love Co. 902 to 908 Front Street. Ice Cream Soda Pure Fruit Juices. Quick Drug Co. Open after the Theatre. 704 Front Street.

Acme Shorthand Institute. Boston Block. Jennie Yeaman's interpretation of Jane exhibits her undeniable talent as a comedienne and the inestimable benefit of a training for the stage. The talented young actress is justly entitled to her reputation of being the best actress in her line now before the American public. Rosina Vokes is a delightful and natural actress. She is so simple and original in her way of depicting the scenes of intimate and refined domestic life that she appeals at one to the hearts of her hearers and takes them by storm. Added to the solid qualifications of her dramatic character, Miss Vokes has the small but important particulars of physical expression and movement, which form as it were, the side light of effect, for the relief of the object of the picture, a whole body of accessories. Part of Miss Vokes general talen no doubt comes by inheritance from a family of actors. But her own talent is almost unique in its character, and she is perhaps the only living actress of English speech who can realize for the spectator, a conception of the imitable Mme.

Wind instead of pay. There used to be a preacher weary, worn and old, of whom a little story with a ten ton moral's told. This preacher tried his level best to point the narrow way, and all he ever got for it was wind instead of pay. They staved the domine to death, but ere the parson fled he preached a farewell sermon and this is what he said. Some day I'll meet the Master, before the great white throne and he will ask to see my sheep file past him one by one. And then I'll have to tell him, while scalding tears I weep, my flock was all composed of hogs I didn't have a sheep. His little Ruse. The tramp had tried a half dozen houses on the block for a bite to eat and with such poor success that he was almost discouraged and began to think he would have to draw on his private purse for the price of a free lunch. One house was left and he concluded he would try it. The kitchen door was opened by the mistress of the mansion. "I beg your pardon, lady," he said with a bow. "but can I get something to eat here?" "I don't know whether you can or not," she replied. "You tramps bother me almost to death." "I'm sure lady, I don't wish to annoy you," apologized the tramp. "and I inly came here because – because –" "Because what?" She asked. "because, lady, at the house next door, they set such fare before me that really I could not eat, and when I refused it the lady of the house told me I couldn't get half as good anywhere else on the block and drove me out." The woman looked over the tramp a minute. "Did she say that?" she asked hotly. "Well you come in here and see" and as the tramp went in he forgot what a liar he was. Gov.
