Notwithstanding that it. is all uttered in the jesting spirit of the play there were a few volunteer firemen in some localities where "Dream City" has been produced who wrote serious letters of objection to Mr. Johnson and begged him to cut out. the song, saying it was a serious jef lection upon the courage and abilities of volunteer firemen in general.

Souvenirs will be giv(n Thursday and tin am tteurs will be evidence Friday night. "The Girl Question." There is a snap, a dash, a life to the chorus girls and the musical numbers of "The Girl Question" which make it the fastest play which has ever been seen in even that home of enormous successes the LaSalle Theatre, Chicago. It is a play of the same type as "The Time. The Place and The Girl," written by the same authors, produced Minder the same management ari l by : the same stage director, and its re- ! ceipts for the first two hundred performances in Chicago exceed by seme few dollars those of "The Time, The I Place and The Girl," which, up to the (advent, of "The Girl Question" set :i j ! new- record for theatrical productions ! in Chicago. Gennetti and long runs January 10. "The Girl of the Go'den West." Belaseo's "Girl of the Golden West." which conies to the GenneU on .Tan. 11, has a significent point attached to It. The play is from the pen of David Pelaseo and the scenes are laid in California. This fact, draws attention to the coincidence thai Mr. Pelaseo was born and spent his eai'y years in that state, and therefore his work has ;i distinctly personal element. Would Choose His Ccimpan, In the west, some twenty years ago, there lived a good man who gave up a part of his time to teaching the Indians the Christian faith. On one of his trips he stopped at the ranch of a well to do and very religious Swede and requested a night's lodging. The Swede thought a great deal of the missionary and disliked to offend him, but he also disliked extremely having a pack of dirty, greasy Indians hanging about his place, so. after much hemming and hawing, be stated his ob . . .

If a shiftlesB man in a country town doesn't keep greyhounds be usually p'ays a fiddle. So many men fool away so much valuable time doing things in which there is neither point nor profit. It is not recorded that any financial genius ever got his start by purchasing diamonds on the installment plan.

The proprietor Is commander in chief, and under him nre a number of assistants who are what might be considered district supervisors. llelow them are the heads of departments, who are responsible to their district chief or to some other head.
