stm ts the hall rolling. He Is a neat
appearing young man with a pleasing:
personality and during all ot IiIr per-
fonuanco ho has a rapid flro of com
edy tulle that never falls to hit tho
spot. lie is a wondorful puliner and
many of his card tricks are now to
tho public and with his comedy talk
things are kepi moving every minute.
A man nud woman who hull from
far off Australia, calling themselves
' the Australian Sorcnaders, come most
highly recommended as artists who
sing wondorfully harmoniously. From
what ran be gathered from tho ad
vanco reports tho combination of the
two voices serve to furnish harmony
singing ot tho most melodious char
acter. George and May do Glenn offer
what they call Afler llu Uasquorado.
They open thoir act In full dress cos
tume and relato tho different exper
iences they, had whllo attending the.
ninsnuornd( Tliolr comedy Is now

several changes of costume during
their act and display many 'gorgeous
gowns.
Good roller skaters are few and far
between and It has been a long while
since an act of thin kind has been
seen here. The Turners present an
act that is Just a little different tlian
tho ordinary one and one that shows
skill and daring.
These four acts togother with the
orchestra and KoyMono comedy will
probably make ono of tho best bnl

Dear nrotlier:
I havo just been out buying a
French meal. We thought we would
buy a few enns of jam to take along
with us so I pointed out three cans

fortunate enough to draw ono can
of .beans and two of sour prunes. All
we needed was some canned salmon
to make it a regular military meal
I expect I will have to learn this
French langungo. Every lime I buy
anything I think they beat mo out
of a few sous. I bought some gloves
tonight marked 2F9 and she charged
mo two francs and 19 cents. I said
to her "You stung mo sister," but
she just smiled and said "Oni, on I,
(wee, wee) meaning "yes, yes."

strative and talk a lot with their
hands, using motions to illustrate
what thoy say. Thoy aro also a very
polite race. They Insist upon shak

parting. Tho women go one better
than that as they kls3 each other
upon the cheek and then turn the
other cheek and kiss again. We euro
