Lover of Muaio Lover of good
rhualc In Astoria will lose nothing by
hearing Miss Bertha Garland, at the
Louvre, sing the latest of all popular
song,' among which Is "The Golden
West is Home, Sweet Home to Me,"
and "The Rnmona," both character
song, thoroughly and beautifully ren
dered In her superb contralto. She Is
ably seconded In the vocal line by the
Invincible favorite, Miss Forest, whose
latent contribution Is "Somebody Is
Thinking of Someone," one of the
prettiest Illustrated offerings of the
day. The flute playing of Miss Wand
rath forms a finale In one of the best
entertainments of its kind In the city,
and these three stars, perfect mis
tresses In their specialties, are the
leading cards of the evening bill at
that house.

It reveals the history of a French stu
dent'who leaves a good home for his
university and his career there, with
all the pranks and scrapes and Bins
of atudent-llfe, faithfully and fully
portrayed, Including a visit from the
old folks, who catch him In one of his
maddest whims, and the old father,
who has not forgotten his own college
days, goes out for a night with his son,
and has more experiences bofore morn
ing than he ever had in his life be
fore. The things the boys do to tho
professors and others, day and night,
would fill a book if written out, but
are pictured quickly and clearly to
the man who hns not time to read
books, and wants to see things for
htmself. He gets his money's pworth
by taking in thla , entertainment.

As usual I orderedV number of
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
for those of my customers who have bought a certain
amount of goods from me during the past year.
The presents have arrived but the Railroad Company
wants $144.50 freight and I won't pay such an ex
horbitant a sum as freight. ;
Therefore I ask that my friends be ' patient . until
the Railroad Companies accept a reasonable sum for
their services or else I can secure other presents.
