The clerics at the Weaver Racket store are telling of a woman whom they caught red-handed in the act of taking a hat pin.

It would be well for her to call and settle before any action Is taken. Once upon a time a lonely ilttle boy began praying for a baby brother. Finally he suggested that he had waited a long time and hoped the Lord would hurry up matters. In a few days the “little brother” arrived. Looking at the baby, the little boy said: “Gee! he's a great looging thing! Can’t talk, can’t walk, ain’t got any hair and he ain’t got any teeth—he ain’t finished! Wish I hadnt been in such a darned hurry.”

Brown, the well known writer, to describe “Wintergreen Farm," which is to be presented here at the ->pera house December 16th. Mr. Brown, along with his newspaper work, has won some reputation as a contributor of verse to the magazines, and being a lover of the folk-song of the country, a drama typical of the people of any community, whether his own Hoosier state, or old New England, appealed strongly to the ruling passion in him. While others, in matter of fact language, have highly praised this beautiful pastral play. Charles E. Brown, in one sentence that is a prose-poem in itself, says: “Bruce Chesterman’s drama, ‘Wintergreen Farm,’ is a plhy as sweet as the new mown fiay, awakening that longing that comes to every man’s heart, the longing to creep back through the stretch of years, and open the old wicket gate that led to home."
