large audience. The programme.
which was varied, embraced singing,
dancing, character acting, ventrilo
quism and other amusing specialties,
and each part was excellently render
ed. The wonderful magical feats of
Prof. Morphet were supdrior to any
thing of their kind ever seen here,
and altogether the show affords more
fun and interest than any that has
occupied our boards for some time.
It is clever and refined in every par
ticular. A feature of the entertainment was
the distribution of presents, a vast
number of useful and ornamental
articles being given among the audi
ence, many worth several times the
price of admission- This feature, to
gether with the excellent character
of the show, Bhould.and we hope will,
draw crowded houses all the week.
Be sure to go Monday night, enjoy
several hours of solid fun and see
what kind of a prize you will draw it
may be the very thing you need.
The presents given away will be on
exhil ition in front of the hall day of
show.

Baptist.
Of the late Bishop Ames the follw
ing anecdote is told While presiding
ove- a certain conference in theWest,
a laczabor began a tirade against the
universities and education, thanking
God that he had never been corrupted
by contact wi h a college' After pro
ceeding thus for a few minutes, the
bishop interrupted with the question,
"Do I understand that the brother
thanks God for, his ignorance?"
"Well, yes," wss the answer, "you
can put it that way if yuu .want,"
"Well, all I have to say," said the
bishop, in his sweetest musical tone
"all 1 have to say is that the brother
has a good deal to thank God for."
No Love Lost.
This is how a person took leave of
his parishioners in a town in the far
West: "Dearly beloved: Our part
ing does not seem to me hard, for
three reasons: You. do not loye me,
you do not loye each other and the
Lord does not love you. If you loved
me you would have paid me for my
services during the past two years.
Ton do not love each other, other
wise I should have more marriages to
celebrate, and the Lord does not love
you, for otherwise He would call
more of you to Him and I should
have more funeral services to conduct.
His parishioners did not press their
pastor to stay.

The remark is sometimes made
"that a dry goods store is no place to
buy shops." We emphatically refute
this argument from the trade we have
had in this department, and judging
from the satisfaction our shoes give
