"They both scored." he said. "They
made me think of two prisoners In At

of stealing a watch, the other of steal
ing a cow. These two prisoners hated
each other, and as they passed one
morning In the exercise yard the cow
stealer said, with a sneer:

L!ASCAG?rS NEW OPERA.
An American Girt to Star In the Com- J
poser's Latest Work.
Several years ago Pletro Mascagni !
the famous Italian composer, left these
shores vowing never to return, tie
had come over to hear Americans ap
plaud one of his operas. But every
thing seemed to go wrong, and he de
parted holding both hands high above
his head and declaring, "Neve'r no,
never again!" Since then, however,
he has laughed heartily over his trou
bles In America and forgotten them
What's, more, he is coming back to us
with a , brand new production that
promises to be the biggest hit of the
grand opera season.. This is called
"Ysobei,' In which Miss Bessie Abott
the American prima donna, will star. .
"Ysobei" is the first opera that Mas
cagni has composed in .five years and
XASCAOin AMD BESS IS ABOTT;
bis very first treatment of an English
subject The story has been taken
from the legend of Lady Godlva. Ten
nyson's poem about the fair lady who
rode through the streets of Coventry
with beauty literally unadorned that
she might save her husband's under
lings from cruel exactions offered the
most accessible material upon which
to build an operatic story, but more
was found in the British museum. In
the opera the central character, will
not be named Lady Godlva, but Yso
bei, the young daughter of the oppres
sive lord.

to and from the casino and when at-,
tending dinners. The custom quickly
spread, and it is reported that it is to
be taken up by the fair sex & over
the country. If true it is to be hoped
that, all canes will be left at home
when there is a big bargain counter

GEERS IS GREATEST DRIVER.

Ed F. Geers, grand old man of the

successful driver on the grand circuit

on trotting .tracks, and there would
easily be a dozen named in answer to
the query, "Who was the greatest Jock

But the trotting turf has had one
particular luminary, outshining all Its
other stars Ed Geers. Truly, this old
gentleman Is sul generis.
An expert who has watched Geers In
action pays him this tribute:

his own. No other man has ever been
