JOSEPH V. SHEEiHAN,
America's favorite and greatest tenor ever heard In the English lan-
guage, to bring his all-star company to the Brooks Hheatre Monday
evening, February 12, in "The Love Tales of Hoffmann." The Sheehan
English Opera company this year is said to excel all iprevious efforts. It
conuista of the pick of the Chicago ar.d Boston company, each (principal
being selected for his or her fitness for the roles they will sing, and
the chorus is the cream of the two big companies.

Hard One on Hoiter.
William Hoster, one of William Ran-
dolph Heart's right-hand men, is not
quite as bald as he can be, but, at
that, he is not displaying what might
be called a "mop of hair." And to
what is left of a once superb and
splendid suit of dark-brown hair, Hos-
ter each morning devotes much af-
fectionate care and painstaking devo-
tion. No luxuriant locks were ever
combed by My Lady Fair with great-
er skill than is lavished by Hoster on
those few strands which hnve with-
stood the disastrous enfilade of time.
Each particular hair has Its station.
One day Hoster was playing with a
little girl. To be exact, her age was
seven—the time of curiosity and other
frankness. Suddenly she paused in
her chatter and gazed with wide eyes
at Hoster's head. "Oh!" she said, in
awe-Btruck tone, "Mr. Hooter, what is
those black strings on your head?"—

Used to Be Stork.
Louis Zeltner, fusion nominee for
alderman in the Fourth district, was
launching a campaign speech from
the tail end of a cart in Columbia
street when a young man rushed up j
and pulled at his coat, relates the New
York Herald. The speaker resented
the Interruption, but the intruder was
persistent. Mr. Zeltner started to say
something about Tammany Hall meth-
ods of breaking up a meeting when
'Jie young man Jumped on the cart
and whispered In th2 perspiring can-
didate's left ear. The look of wrath
gave way to a broad smile as the
nominee asked: "Is It a boy or girl?"
"Girl," said the Informant, and Mr.
Zeltner left the cart without complet-
ing the attack on Tammany. Later
he Informed the fusion leaders that
he was sure of winning, as luck had
come with the eighth member of his
family.

Shiftless Lot.
A little cross-firing was going on be-
tween the Texas and Arkansas law-
makers when Senator Culberson said:
"Arkansas is a suburb of Texas, and
there are some powerful good people
there, but about the most shiftless
family I ever heard of lived in that
state. The family belonged to the nu-
merous Smiths. Old Daddy Smith
was very sick, and a neighbor called
to see about his condition. He found
no one at home, except a daughter-in-
law, who informed him that the rest
of the family hart gone to 'see their
daddy buried.' The neighbor was a re-
ligious man, and inquired of the daugh- j
ter-in-law if the old gentleman had
made any preparations for eternity.
'No,' replied the woman, 'nothin' more
than to give the two boys a hoss
apiece. He knew they'd never own
one el they had to work for it."

Burbank Spoiled a Good Game.
Pushing through the blackberry
patch on the hill, a thousand prickly
hands were stretched out to hold you
back. At every step a wiry bramble
wound Itself around your ankle or j
grappled your elbow. Brufce force
couldn't extricate you. A sort of I
physical diplomacy, an adroit turning j
and twisting, the same kind of athletic
skill that is required of a half-back
on a run In a broken field—that was
the game you had to play In order to J
beat Nature's protective strategy. A
game It really was, with the popping,
purple berries as the prize. And now
Luther Burbank has gone and spoiled
it. "After ten years of work," he
says, "I have produced a thornless
blackberry."

The Folks From Maine.
The governor of Maine was at the
Bchool and was telling the pupils what
the people of different states were

I from Indiana are called Hooslers; the
people from North Carolina Tar Heels;
the people from Michigan we know
1 us Mlchlganders. Now, what little boy
I or girl can tell me what the people
of Maine are called?" "I know," said
a little girl. "Well, what are we

—slowly—she turned her head; his
pulses quickened. "Will you answer
me one question?" she asked In
tense voice. "Y-e-s," he responded,
breathlessly, leaning forward to catch
the precious words. "Why," she ask-
ed, in a whisper—"why, when I dou-
bled that no trump—did—you—lead—
