Agent Wilson of the Gerry Society called at Proctor’s Pleasure Palace in New York one night to investigate the ages of the juveniles whose singing in the News- ruch applauded. One n-faced er was regarded with special suspicion and was subjected to a rigid examination as to age, nativity and parentage. He would not commit himself | on the question of age, but sullenly in- | sisted that he was **old enough not to keep Gerry awake nights.” The agent sug- gested that the lad better have his mother | call at the society’s rooms and answer a | WiF ¥¢ few questions. : [ neen “Me mudder!’” said the youth scorn- | D¢ ne The Frawley Company will open the new opera-house, the Alnambra, in Redwood Cit: This is the new house built by Charles Josselyn of this City and it is said to be oneof the hand- somest in the State. The Original One. Adam had slept too long. He felt sure of it as he stretched himself, vawned, and rose with a heavy sensation in his head and a lightness round his stomach, to take another turn about the garden. But, suddenly, he doubted whether he t awake. n front of him, was an animal he seen before. He thought it was 3oy : L Janin an animal.

He hasalarge practice, which may be due to the fact that he is always within call when wanted, and never gets drunk and preseribes arsenic in place of rhubarb. e diagnoses all cases by feel- ing the patient’s pulse, dlsr{laying at the same time an enormous gold watch, which his lucrative Fructice enables him to pos- sess. With the aid of this watch, which he never looks at,and his finger on the afflicted one’s pulse, he makes the most astounding discoveries, and will exclaim. with his eyes fixed on the first balcony : “T fear that he is beyond all human aid, for his skull is broken in_three places.” Ralph Edmunds in Footlights, AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
