Beginning with matinee Sun. day afternoon, August 21, at the popular Cleveland’s Theater, the long and anxiously waited for, the original Josef Yarrick and his Magic Kettle, which has for a year or more past—for 746 times, to be precise, the longest run on record of anything in the history of vaudeville —mystified and astounded vast multitudes of people, will open for a long run, and Chicagoans will have the opportunity to solve the problem that has battled scientists in the East during its most prosperous career in New York’s leading theaters. Mr. Cleveland’s arrangements call for the original Magic Kettle, and Josef Yarrick, the inventor, and also that neither shall be seen elsewhere outside of New York City until after the run at his Chicago establishment.

THE “OLD SWIMMING HOLE.”

I'm thinking of a swimming hole, a ihady, muddy hole Where bathing clothea are never aeen and no one chargea toll; . Where turtlea lift their atick-like heada juat into light of day And ainking aend a bubble up, that lazy floats away. I wonder if the grape-vine rope atlll hangs inviting there, Where swinging high we loosed our holds and turning o'er ii air Dived headlong down upon the wave with mighty splash, and then Came puffing up and cltmed the bank, and swung and “dove” again. I wonder if the pasture cows beneath the elm trees cool Stand belly-deep in afternoon and muddy up the pool; If boys that haunt the scene to-day knot one another's "clo'es,” Get woodticks in their moppy heada and leeches 'twixt their toes. I'd like to seek the place again; to linger on the bank; To see the spot where chicken cats so oft expiring sank; To note the slimy rushes and the snags that barked the shin— Jr I'd like to stand and look awhile, but darned if I’d go in.

IN LAVINIA’S GARDEN

By TEMPLE BAILEY

Miss Lavlnla’s garden was a vegetable garden. “The young folks can have the flowers,” she said to the captnin, who lived next door and kept a very shipshape little yard, “but give me something uubstantlal. You can’t eat flowers.” Now and then, when the captain handed Miss Lavinia a bunch of sweet peas or a cluster of roses over the fence, he tried to argue the question. “There’s poetry in flowers, Miss Lavinia, and the language of love.” “Huh!” sniffed the little woman. “Who cares about the language of love at my age?” And the captain would go away very sad. For years the captain had cared for Miss Lavinia in a sort of nautical fashion. She was what he called a trim little craft, and in spite of her sharp tongue he lived near enough to see the tender acts that made her the blessed lady of the community. There was not a beggar nor a stray dog nor a tormented cat that would not find help or shelter at the little white cottage on top of the hill. All the women of the village came to Miss Lavinia with their woes, and the men came, too, to get sharp bits of advice and now and then a little loan of money without Interest. So for fifteen years the captain and Miss Lavinia had lived in adjoining cottages—he a widower longing for a wife and the comfort of a home, she a spinster, with buried hopes, living a life of helpfulness. The captain’s suit had not progressed, however, for after all their years of acquaintance he discovered no more tenderness in Miss Lavinia’s glance than in the beginning, and he hesitated to declare himself, yet there had grown up between them a friendship that permitted him to offer her the fruits of his fishing expeditions, while in preserving and pickling time Miss Lavinia always filled certain jars and glasses to be set forth on the little table next door.

So things went on smoothly until one day the captain discovered that he had a rival.

Miss Lavinia was a devout church member, and when Deacon Werner lost

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, CAPTAIN?” SHE ASKED.

bis wife it was not long before people began to couple the namqp of Brother Werner and Sister Lavinia. For did not Brother Werner spend every Sunday evening at Sister Lavinia’s, and did not Sister Lavinia set forth on the weekly supper table all the dainties of her skilled cooking? The captain pondered on these things one Saturday afternoon as he watched Miss Lavinia in her garden culling lettuce and radishes and big red raspberries for the next day’s feast. The captain knew just how that table would look. Now and then on high days and holidays he, too, had feasted at his neighbor’s table. The lettuce would surround a dainty salad made from chickens of Miss Lavinia’s own raising. The radishes would be cut like red roses and would garnish the cold meat; there would be crisp rusks and cream for the berries, thick and yellow. And, best of all, Miss Lavinia’s face would illumine the feast, and her quiet wit would enliven it The captain sighed. Then he rose and went to the fence and looked over at Miss Lavinia. ♦‘Such devotion deserves a reward,” be said bitterly as he watched her work. Miss Lavinia looked up at him from under her sunbonnet “What do you mean, captain?” she asked as she pulled up a half tender young onions and dropped them In her basket “Brother Werner is a lucky man,” observed the captain, bis accusing eyes on Miss Lavinia. The little woman blushed. Then she smoothed down her apron and looked self conscious. The tug at the captain’s heart was painful. What would he do if he lost her—bis little neighbor with the keen, blue eyes? “Captain,” said Miss Lavinia, “I wish you would step over to my porch for a minute and have a little talk. Would you mind?” Would be mind! It was the joy of his Hfe to sit on that vine covered porch and be talked to by Miss Lavinia, for the captain was a rather silent man,

while his neighbor was a woman of many words. “I want your advice,” said Miss Lavinia when the captain was safe in the big chair with the rose flowered cushions, “I don’t know what to do.” The captain’s heart dropped like lead. He fixed his eyes on the bit of blue sea visible from the porch as If he would draw strength from it. If Miss Lavinia wanted advice about the deacon he felt that the case was serious, for Miss Lavinia always gave rather than asked advice. “You see,” she explained, "before Brother Werner's wife died I promised her that I would try and comfort the deacon, and I have done my best. But, captain,” and here Miss Lavinia straightened her trim little figure and blushed, “captain, I did not understand when I promised to comfort a man what it involved.” “No,” said the captain heavily, “I don’t suppose you did.” ' Miss Lavinia went on hurriedly. “It doesn’t sound just right to say It out,” she said, “but, captain, by all signs and feelings I am sure that Brother Werner wants to marry me.” “I don’t doubt it,” said the captain, “it’s nature.” “And the trouble Is,” said Miss Lavinia, “that by all signs and feelings— I don’t want to marry him.” “What!” The captain brought his eyes back from the ships and a wave of rapture rippled over his face. “No, captain,” repeated Miss Lavinia. “By all signs and feelings I don’t want to marry Brother Werner.” The captain drew his chair closer. “And you want my advice?” “Yes. How shall I keep him from asking me? I like Brother Werner, and for his wife's sake I don't want to hurt him. But I don’t want him to ask me.” “Nothing easier,” said the captain. “How?” “Marry me,” said the captain and hitched his chin a little nearer. Miss Lavinia’s face grew pink like a girl’s, and for a moment she looked very young. Then she laughed a little tremulously. “I never thought of that,” she said. “Think of it now,” said the captain. He reached out and took her hands in his. “Will you, Lavinia?” • “Yos,” said Miss Lavinia softly. After a blissful moment the captain murmured, “You'll have to plant some flowers in your garden now.” “Why?” “Because flowers are the language of love,” said the captain tenderly.

Could Not Find the Place.

Mrs. Barrington, a methodical northern Michigan housekeeper whose routine was the same year in and year out, developed a cough one fall and was sent to Arizona for the winter, but she did not leave her household cares behind her. From time to time she wrote to various members of her family, telling them what to do on certain dates and admonishing them in this wise: “Remember, Mary, to clean the linen closet the first week in January.” “Do not forget, Charles, to sprout the potatoes in the cellar the second week in February.” The winter brought with it an unprecedented amount of snow, but in spite of family letters Mrs. Barrington in Arizona was unable to realize the state of the weather at home. Toward the end of February the conscientious housekeeper wrote to her gardener, instructing him to be sure to plant the sweet peas along the back fence on the usual date, the first day of April.

John, the gardener, bought the sweet peas, but was unable to carry out the rest of Mrs. Barrington’s instructions for a reason which he explained in the following letter to his mistress:' “Respected Madam: I have bought the peas, but I cannot plant them. There is so much snow that I cannot find the fence."
