Importing Tailors 305 EUCLID AVENUE (New Number) Confined Novelties for Gentlemen's Wear Synopsis In general "The Hermits in Spain" may be classed as a musical comedy. In particular it embraces many of the characteristics of farce, opera, comedy drama, melodrama and vaudeville; and because of this combi- nation it is confidently believed that almost everybody will find something pleasing to his taste somewhere in the entertainment. The play treats of the experiences of a band of wide awake Americans essaying to build a trolley line in the heart of the Pyrenees, where no trolley line is wanted. The first act opens with development of this fact through a conversation between Jenkins, the pro- moter, and Father Mendoza, who is at the head of a band of monks interrupted by Jenkins while they are in the midst of a bit of relaxation by the roadside. Herr Von Heissler, a german, teaching music in the adja- cent Spanish convent, gives voice to his dissatisfac- tion with the singing of the monks and illustrates his own ideas by introducing his pupils in songs employ- ing the music of "Lightly Row," which has become a classic through its long usage in the Cleveland public schools. After the Show--- The Hollenden Grill Room : : THOMPSON & FOX Managers Synopsis Continued The action of the play introduces many charac- ters, American and Spanish. The romantic interest is afforded by the love affair of Marguerite, a beau- tiful Spanish girl in the hands of a set of bandits, and Frederick Scoville, a handsome American tourist. The bandits play an important part in the story. They plot to kidnap Scoville for his supposed wealth, and they also enter into a conspiracy with Alfred Smithers, an American burglar, posing as a reformer of bull fights, to kidnap the King, the dowager queen and her diamonds and almost all the other principal charac- ters. The kidnapping of the King and queen is to be made possible by their visit to the trolley camp. The first act ends with the reception of the King and prep- arations for a grand Fourth of July celebration. ACT II. Incidental to the celebration several vaudeville numbers are introduced by members of the Hermit club for the entertainment of the royal guests. At the last moment the great bull fighter, who has been fea- tured in the preparations, sends word that he can not come and Von Heissler is pressed into service as a sub- stitute. At the same time it is also discovered that OTIS & HOUGH BANKERS AND BROKERS Cuyahoga Building Garfield Building Cleveland MEMBERS NEW YORK, CLEVELAND, CHICAGO STOCK EXCHANGES NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE PRIVATE WIRES TO ALL PRINCIPAL CITIES BOND DEPARTMENT, 200 GARFIELD BUILDING Government Municipal BONDS Telephones Main 154 Erie 146 BRANCH OFFICES: Denver, Colo. Columbus, O. Railroad Corporation Colorado Springs, Colo. Synopsis Concluded the queen dowager can not be present and the Ameri- can chaperone, a widow of uncertain years, is pressed into service by Jenkins as her substitute, for the reason that the promoter knows of the plot of the bandits and his own schemes render it necessary that the bandits should think that they are kidnapping the queen. The act ends with the kidnapping of all concerned as scheduled. ACT III. In the third act the audience is introduced to the camp of the bandits in the mountains. In rapid suc- cession the action discloses the disappointment of the conspirators at finding that they have not secured the real queen, reveals the identity of Marguerite as the heiress of the estate to which belongs the franchise sought by Jenkins, and uncovers the duplicity of Smith- ers, the quasi reformer of bull fights. The climax comes with the rescue of the prisoners by the valiant army which is delighted that it is needed at last, and the people of the play once more enjoy that which is described in the finale as "domestic tranquility."

The Chaperone Oh, I am the sort of a chaperone you read about in books Whose value is reckon'd at so much a second to scatter forbidding looks. I always have figured my greatest delight is ferreting out a plan That looks a bit shady between my young lady and some rather nice young man. Because I've discovered the average girl can easily organize Some plan reprehensible, quite indefensible, blinding a guardian's eyes. And therefore you see I am lacking in time for worriments of my own, I never have leisure for sorrow or pleasure-because I'm a chaperone. Aft. 1 Aft. 2 CHORUS. So kindly listen friend, Life's troubles all depend On how you may choose to look upon them, and so I recommend, No matter what you do, don't let them trouble you But draw a good salary like myself But draw juicy fees like professional men Aft. 3 But blame all your woes on the property man which changes the In many particulars chaperones resemble the men of law point of view. Whose various troubles are treated like bubbles, or mythical men of straw. The lawyers find it is easy enough, as history's always shown To bear with tranquillity, ease and facility cares that are not their own. And likewise physicians are fortunate men in dealing with human ills By mixing philosophy, faith and theosophy in with their drugs and pills With never a personal sorrow at all but treating all troubles as jokes Because nature pleases to make the diseases distressing to other folks. There's something that puzzles the average man concerning the Hermits in Spain. This question dramatic he finds enigmatic and causing a mental strain. He cannot determine just how all the fellows got into the dresses they wear, And likewise he's wondered how Herriman blundered in fastening on his hair. While much deeper mystery seems to surround the question of lingerie For the stays and laces in various places impress him bewilderingly. There's only one feature in all of the show that everyone understands, For Frank Meade's musicians have won a position as one of the finest of bands. Corning Glass Works Corning N. Y. My Love of the Old Alcazar You may ramble through mountain and valley, Through village, through city and town; You may search in them all for a fair one As queen of your fortunes to crown. You may choose as you will of the maidens In countries both near and afar, But in none will you find one who equals My love of the old Alcazar. When I first saw this beautiful vision 'Midst scenes so romantic and old, Summer's sunset had tinted the heavens With paintings of silver and gold; But the beauties of nature, so lavish, With naught to disturb or to mar, Could never compare with her splendor- My love of the old Alcazar. All the gold of the glorious sunset, With its color so rich and so rare, Seemed to melt into naught as it shone on The gold of her beautiful hair; While the gleam of the sunbeams so brilliant Revealing her startled surprise, Seemed feeble and pale when they vied with The flame from her glorious eyes. 1 W E believe that our experience in accumu- lating the business of fifty-five thousand individual depositors, which stands on our books today, qualifies us to say that we can also handle your business satisfactorily.

So we lately took a notion That we'd sail across the ocean And build a trolley road on Spanish soil. Castilian beauties lighten our duties, And though our tasks we never shirk, We blend flirtations with our work. Work is our pleasure the whole day long, No matter how hard it may be. And we'll welcome a measure of mirth and of song, When evening has found us free. We'll labor and toil with right good will Through all of the busy day, And the low setting sun, when our labor is done, Will find us buoyant and gay.

The managers gave me a trial one day, But the audience seemed not to care for my way, And a man in a box said, "Skidoo, The stage is not waiting for you. Fade away from the scene-get a job as a cook. Skidoo, little girl, skidoo." This frost was a crusher, but I wouldn't back down— Would you? Would you? For I'd made up my mind I would capture the town All through. All through. So I tackled the vaudeville stage for my next- Thought I'd surely make good in a skit; But before I had gone very far with my job My manager fell in a fit. Then skidoo, little girl, skidoo. 23 is the number for you.

Cleveland, In Dreamland I wandered once idly in Dreamland That realm where one's wishes are king, All nature gave promise of treasures That kindly good fortune should bring; Of riches of joy and of glory, Of triumphs that filled me with pride, But best of them all was the vision Of you ever there at my side. Chorus. Floating, floating, thus in Dreamland With my loved one at my side Ever finding sweet contentment Ever filled with joy and pride. Through it all was just one hope, dear, Midst this fairy land so gay— 'Twas that I might ever wander- Ever thus in Dreamland stay. To arouse from my slumbers so peaceful To awake from these visions so fair And find that my treasures had vanished Like fairy gifts fading in air; To find to my sore disenchantment I sought for my loved one in vain Bestirred one great wish in my heart, dear,— To just go a-dreaming again. Chorus. Fading, fading from my vision. Dimly drifting from my view All my golden dreams have vanished— Fleeting as the summer's dew. But in spite of all the darkness Though the vision fades away I've your image in my heart, dear, And 'twill there forever stay.

I'm the country's only boss and I'm never at a loss For a way to keep from being counted slow. I have notions of my own how to run a royal throne And I've got the other Monarchs on the guess. Yes to keep the royal batch in a busy guessing match Is a project I have tackled with success. I would like to see the man who can alter any plan When I've once decided what I'd like to do, That's the reason that I tried an experimental ride On your trolley line without consulting you. And I'm willing to admit that your road has made a hit With the Monarch of the sunny land of Spain; Yes it hit me pretty hard but my temper wasn't jarred And I'm ready now to tackle it again. If there's any trouble brewin' in connection with a ruin Or in anything to make your line complete Just inform me what it is that you're needin' in your biz And I'll quickly knock the knockers off their feet. There's no use in being King if you're not prepared to bring All the pressure that is needed for your cause. So whatever be its nature we will have the legislature Pass a basket full of made-to-order laws. THE BOURNE-FULLER CO. IRON, STEEL, PIG IRON, COKE. Cleveland, Ohio.

Marching Song -Finale Act Third Here amid scenes of domestic tranquillity we have begun With pleasure to take the rest that our work so fully has won. Dreaming of times when we fought for our country, so splendid and free. Let us be merry and gay to-day, with never a thought of strife or fray For we are the soldiers who served our king where'er our duty be. Chorus. See! the soldiers go marching by. Hark! to the sound of their battle cry! Music of bugle and drum and fife! 'Tis the sound of a nation awaking to life. We'll hark to the cries of the pressing throng Cheering the boys as they march along. Then here's to our flag-in splendid array We'll defend her forever and aye. Defend her forever and aye.

"WE NEVER DISAPPOINT" The Parisian Dry Cleaning Co. Phones and Wagons In the Golden Days of Spain Take me back to fair Hispania, to the Spain of olden days, To the land whose life was radiant with a wondrous golden haze. When her knighthood filled her story with a chivalry sublime, And the romance of the ages was the spirit of the time. Where we find the proudest people that the world has ever known, And each subject seemed a monarch with a kingdom of his own; Where we find a land triumphant, such as ne'er will rise again, Take me back to see the glories of the golden days of Spain. Chorus. In the Golden Days, In the days of old, When the nation shown. With wealth untold. Mistress of the boundless main, Ruler of the land and sea. Then her power reigned transcendent. Queen of all the world was she. To those days of Spanish glory I would gladly turn once more; To the splendor and the triumphs of the stirring days of yore. When the nation forced the homage of the kings of all the earth, When the noblest gift of fortune was the gift of Spanish birth. Show me in the roll of nations such a record as was hers, Such a story of achievement which your wonderment bestirs. Show me where you'll find a nation in such wealth and grandeur dressed. Show me where you'll find a people with such wondrous birth- right blessed.

ERIE Do you know the name of the Railroad run- ning 7 trains every day from Cleveland, O. to Pittsburg, Pa.? (Being the short line.) This little fellow is looking right at it- that's the way he sends his letters-because they reach there sooner. Columbus and the Egg Ferdinand and Isabella were the King and Queen of Spain And of all that did pertain To the nation's wide domain They held dominion proudly, and to me it's very plain That the highly royal twain Really liked to hold the reign. At the first they seemed contented with the country as it stood, But at last their need for taxes made 'em figure that they should Extend their royal regions to most any place they could, So they tried to make it grow, But the process it was slow, And they found they'd need assistance if they'd make the project good, So they tried to get assistance just as anybody would. Now Christopher Columbus was a sailor bold and true With as good and brave a crew As the ocean ever knew; And he talked the matter over and declared just what he'd do- He would sail the ocean blue And discover regions new. But the King and Queen were busted and they played along for time. They insisted that Columbus was possessed of nerve sublime And declared they'd never stake him for a trip to foreign clime If he didn't do a stunt Showing how he meant to hunt For the country he was talking of, in regions maritime; So Columbus promptly did a stunt in bully pantomime. Is there any gent or lady here, said he, that has an egg, Just an ordinary egg? If you have I humbly beg That you'll kindly make it stand on end as if it had a leg Or at least a wooden peg- Make it stand upon this keg Both the King and Queen attempted to do what Columbus said But with all their work they couldn't make the egg stand on its head 'Till Columbus showed 'em plainly that such knowledge was inbred And he said it was the same In the navigating game And if they'd let him have his way they wouldn't be misled. They agreed and then he fried the egg and all of them were fed. And after feeding on the egg the Queen devised a plan And fishing up a can Of diamonds off she ran, And quickly pawned the diamonds with a money lending man And thus removed the ban So Columbus' trip began. 'Tis thus we learn from history how much we owe the hen For if she hadn't laid the egg and had it ready when Columbus tried to turn a trick not in the royal ken, There'd have been no egg to eat And without this morning treat Ferdinand and Isabella would have lost their tempers then, And Columbus been beheaded at a quarter after ten.

Obtain- able in Cleveland at Banks and Bankers Castles in Spain I have frequently boasted how well I am posted How vast is my brain's comprehension, No ambitious builder my brain can bewilder With schemes of colossal dimension. But spite of my knowledge, collected in college And then in my chosen profession, I lack information about the location Of ev'ry man's Spanish possession. Yes I'm woefully shy and confess it with pain. On rules for discovering Castles in Spain. Chorus. For every one has 'em, you know, Regardless of station or birth No matter where'er you may go Through all of the lands of the earth. Men, women and children as well In Hong Kong, Calcutta and Maine All yield to the popular spell And build themselves Castles in Spain. I have found that statistics are antagonistic To any complete explanation Of this burning question, for every suggestion They give is a new aggravation. Every mathematician will take the position That Spain is a good big dominion, That her area now stands at two hundred thousand Square miles in his humble opinion. But I never could see how this modest domain Could hold one per cent. of the Castles in Spain. Chorus. For every one has 'em you know Regardless of station or birth No matter where'er you may go Through all of the lands of the earth. Spain's quite a big country, 'tis true But I've figured it over again And can't see as yet what she'd do With all of these Castles in Spain.

COLT, Manager The South-wind and the Rose In the depths of the woodland a rivulet sped, With ripple of music and song, Where the sunbeams that shone through the boughs overhead, Danced merrily all day long. Here lulled by the zephyrs to sweetest repose Midst the beauties of fairyland gay, Grew the brightest of flowers-the wild woodland rose With suitors in endless array. But every wooer bold In the selfsame way was told: Chorus. Waiting! I'm fondly waiting! For my true love to come unto me. Never mind me! He will find me! Though he search o'er land and sea. He'll pursue me, and he'll woo me, And I'll pledge him the love of my soul. He's the knight of my fancy None other may my fate control. To the depths of the woodland a soft gentle breeze Came wafting a melody sweet; Softly stirring the boughs as it breathed through the trees. With harmony strangely complete. 'Twas the wind of the south, with his gentle caress, And in tracing the paths that he chose He was seeking the time when a kiss he should press On the lips of the wild woodland rose. And the wind, of them all most bold, By the deep blushing flower was told: Chorus. Waiting! No longer waiting! For my true love has come unto me. Love has crowned me! He has found me, After searching o'er land and sea. He pursued me and he wooed me And I've pledged him the love of my soul. He's the knight of my fancy None other may my fate control.

The glories of the battlefield I love For there I always bravely fought and strove, As a soldier true should ever do In the battles for his king. I love the dash of the sabre's flash And I love the muskets' ring, While the roll of the drums and the volley of guns Joyous music always bring, Because you see I am a valiant soldier. Chorus. Oh! the soldiers of the legion are advancing on the foe In fierce array and they'll win the day, wherever they may go. Without a fear and with rousing cheer they will make the echoes ring, And victory their reward shall be as they battle for the king. I'd rather live in the soldiers' camp And hear the marching legions' tramp With stirring sound when martial glory calls Than be a ruler in his castle walls. For there's more delight in a single fight Than in being a King or Czar, And there's praise untold for the hero bold. Who can boast a soldier's scar. Bid the trumpets sound till the hills resound As we hearken from afar, Because you see we all are valiant soldiers. The Williams & Rodgers Co.

Meade gave a dinner at his home, at which Harry A. Bliss, John H. Blood, Edwin H. Brown, Albert R. Davis, Roger C. Enwright, Mortimer W. Lawrence, Norman C. McLoud and George B. Pettengill were present. At this dinner, Mr. Meade suggested the organization of a club which should be a combination of a lunch club and a gathering place for the younger men of the community, who were more or less talented in various lines, and who, occasionally, should give enter- tainments in the Club, and, if practicable, a public performance once a year in one of the theatres. His suggestion met with un- qualified approval, and as a result of the earnest efforts of those present, a meeting was held in the Grill Room of the Hollenden Hotel on March 12th, attended by a number of men who had signified their desire to become affiliated with an organization such as that proposed. The meeting adopted "The Hermits" as the name of the club, and elected a committee composed of Warren Bicknell, Arthur D. Brooks, Edward H. Cady, William M. Duncan, Julius F. Janes, George H. Kelly, Mortimer W. Lawrence, Frank B. Meade, Charles W. Stage and Scott Stewart to incorporate the Club and to prepare and present à plan for its financing. This Organization Committee formally incorporated the Club under the laws of the State of Ohio, and at a meeting held in the Assembly Room of the Hollenden Hotel on the 24th day of May presented their report embodying the architect's designs for a Club House and a plan to provide funds for its erection and equipment. On this occasion, through the efforts of Albert R. Davis, acting as auctioneer, the bonds provided by the plan submitted were practically all subscribed. The capital necessary to warrant the Committee in proceeding with their plans was thus secured, and they obtained a ninety-five year lease upon the lot on Hickox Street now occupied by the club building. Ground was broken on June 10th, 1904, and through the unremitting efforts of the Organization Committee, the House was ready for occupation by the fifth day of November, 1904, when the formal opening took place. On this occasion, an informal program was presented by Messrs. Davis, Hopper, Nicolas, Pettengill and others, and the interest of the members together with the success of the entertainment gave abundant evidence that the future of The Hermits was assured.

STEBBINS WILLIAM WIEMAN The Knabe Piano for more than half a century has held the univer- sally conceded position as the world's foremost piano at home and abroad. Knabe Art Grands and Uprights grace the salons where affluence and art hold sway. In the studios of the masters of music these magnificent instru- ments greatly outnumber those of any other individual make, indicating the esteem in which they are held. Our Knabe room always contains examples of the latest designs of these peerless instruments. The Knabe- Angelus In the union of the Kutabr Piano and the Angelus piano player mechanism (contained within the case of the piano) its manufacturers have given to the world the only truly high-grade player piano and the only instrument by which the interpretation of the masterpieces of music is made possible in a thoroughly artistic manner through the medium of the perforated roll. The limitations of this space will not permit of even passing mention of those points of superiority characteristic only of this instrument, but we take great pleasure in extending an invitation to visit our warerooms to those wishing more familiarly to aquaint themselves with the Knabe- Angelus Piano.

The measure was intended merely to create a little merriment for the august body, but to the great surprise of the humoristic Solon, it was accepted with the utmost seriousness by some of the rural representatives and came near being enacted into a law. That incident suggested the principal theme for "The Hermits in Cali- fornia." Buchanan Lamb, a crusty old bachelor, owns a large fruit and cattle ranch in the heart of California. His two nieces, Betty and Marianne, live with him and the latter, who has just returned from an Eastern college, has arranged a picnic in honor of her old school friends from the Sillyset Seminary. Marianne tries to persuade her Uncle Lamb to join the party, but he has just heard about the bill to tax bachelors and angrily refuses to go. His head gardener and confidential secretary, Franz, has been trying his skill at grafting, and induces Lamb to inspect a new prune with which he has been experimenting. Sen- ator Knott and his nephew, Montmorency Poore, arrive and Knott announces that he is the father of the Spinster Suffrage bill. It's an easy Proposition. Hermits Use Them Baker Electrics This is the Baker Hermitage, where Baker Electrics are built A BEEHIVE OF BUSINESS Skillful mechanical and electrical engineers and artisans of the highest order, seven years of practical experience, some patents and a lot of know how, harmoniously contributing to -the one object---to produce the best.

Wouldn't you like to know why it was that Marshall Field & Com- pany replaced six listing-adding machines of another make, with BURROUGHS Bookkeeping Machines? These six machines "looked just as good as a BURROUGHS," and it took just about a year to find out that they were not. When our 1907 models were placed on the market we demonstrated to Marshall Field & Company that we could give them a machine that would take care of their work better, handle their check figures and at the same time insert a sales sheet number which would serve as a guide when checking their recapitulations for a balance. Then we showed them what the "Split and Normal" BURROUGHS could do for them. Ultimately we sold them seven BURROUGHS Adding Machines by which much of their special work could be done mechanically that formerly had to be done by hand. Why should you be satisfied with a machine that will do only a part of what the BURROUGHS can do? q If an adding and listing machine is ANY good to you, why don't you get a machine that is the MUST good to you?

Lamb tries to persuade the Senator to kill the measure, but learns to his consternation that it has already passed the house. Miss Mehitable Storke, in whose interest the bill has been intro- duced, comes with the seminary girls and immediately compli- cates affairs for Lamb. The romantic touch of the play centers about Betty and Ben Sheridan, a former army officer, who has left the service under a cloud, and Tony, an Italian boy, who has strayed out west with a performing bear, and who later becomes. man of all work about the ranch. The second act carries everybody up to the old Mission at Santa Felipe. Lamb has failed in his effort to kill the bill in the senate and, after a thorough counting of the cost of keeping a wife, decides matrimony will be cheaper than the bachelor tax. He proposes to Miss Storke and the wedding is quickly arranged, in spite of the opposition of Knott. Just as the knot is about to be tied, a messenger arrives with tidings that further complicates. affairs. Col. Carkey, U. S. A., visits Santa Felipe in hope of finding Sheridan, who comes in answer to a note which he be- lieves is from Betty, and is betrayed by Tony into going to Casa Grande, where the U. S. troops are quartered. The last act opens on the carnival. Lamb has taken flight, and Betty, Franz and Marie have about given up hope of finding him, when he is discovered in hiding. He overhears Knott and Miss Storke plotting and binding themselves by some terrible agreement. Thoroughly frightened, he decides to escape. He is caught, however, but the troubles of all are happily adjusted after a stormy scene. Sheridan, who has been taken in charge by the soldiers at Casa Grande, is brought to Col. Carkey's head- quarters and hears two things which surprise and make him. happy. Tony then confesses to a good impulse gone wrong, and all ends happily. HOTEL RIDER Cambridge Springs, Pa.

ARMOUR AND COMPANY MY 4 Lyrics 4 OPENING CHORUS The Song of the Vine Sing we a song of the vine, Yes the vine, vine, vine. And her gay laughing daughter, the wine, Yes the wine, wine, wine. She is the mistress we all must obey. For her do we work and 'tis with her we play. Life's greatest pleasure we each owe today To the vine, to the vine, to the vine. When the harvest time is drawing near Come the gladdest days of all the year, When the grapes blush 'neath the sun 'Tis a sign our work is done. What the yield will be no one may know, Vintage time alone its worth will show. Sweet or bitter, good or bad flows the wine, All depends upon the fickle vine. On the vine, vine, vine, Hangs the cluster that's turned into wine, As the mother is gay or sad Will the daughter be good or bad. But there's none may know, 'Tis the vintage alone that will show. From the heart within the vine Blossoms the soul of the red, red wine. Working 'mid the grapes our whole life long Our first lullaby the vintage song, Surely 'tis no wonder, then, that we Like the ruby clustered grapes should be Peeping out among the vines like this, Dusky from the western sun's warm kiss. We are little sisters of the wine, For we too are children of the vine.

EXTRA LIMITED SERVICE I W Wind of the Prairie I I have a comrade whom I never see But dearer than all other friends to me. Whenever o'er the plains I ride so free Close by my horse's side always is he. I go out to meet him almost ev'ry day If the gossips want to talk, they may. Because I'm sure if I should give his name away No one in all the world could have a word to say. My comrade is one knows But no one could oppose It is the wind that 'cross the Prairie blows. CHORUS. Prairie, Prairie, Wind of the Prairie, That sings by my side, As I ride, Never solitary. Galloping, Galloping, Faster each stride, With the wind of the Prairie Wide. II His comradeship I could not do without, He helps me when I'm puzzled and in doubt. If I have anything I'm vexed about A ride with him will somehow drive it out. Sometimes he says things that really are not fair, Whispers words of love but I don't care. Sometimes I know he's playing with my tangled hair, And if I turn my cheek I feel his kisses there, And if he could propose I'd take him I suppose I'd wed the wind that 'cross the Prairie blows.

New York Every drop is delicious of this famous old wine, It has got all the vigor and vim of the vine; No wines of French vineyards such virtues contain: It's the joy of best judges-Great Western Champagne. EXTRA DRY Great Western was the only American Champagne to receive a Gold Medal at Paris---and was acknowledged by Parisians to equal the most select imported brands. In Great Western Extra Dry Champagne you will recognize the taste of the Old World's best vintages---at half the cost. It's the duty, not Great Western the quality, that makes the difference. The quality of grapes is what imparts to fine Champagne its flavor. Particular care in making and ageing is essential, but the fine rich, mellow, yet delicately flavored grape, is necessary. Great Western is made from grapes having the same fine qualities as those grown in the best vineyards of France. Cultivation of the soil, extending over nearly one hundred years, in the Great Western Vineyards at Rheims, N. Y., has developed the ideal vine that produces this fine wine grape. The process of making Great Western is identical with that of the finest French wines. It is absolutely pure and is aged for five years in the latest improved modern cellars. Try Great Western.

At midnight when the mission silent slept In yonder tower a light there shone. Then through the secret passageway he crept To meet the maid he called his own. Side by side 'neath shadowed wall Till dawn came faint and gray He swore, whatever might befall He would be true alway- REFRAIN. Love, true love, can know no dying Years defying, Time denying Till those walls in dust are lying So long I'll be true to you. II Alas, one night they were betrayed. The Church's laws were stern and cruel then. They disappeared, this monk and maid, And nevermore were seen alive again. But when the long deserted mission sleeps, In yonder tower, there shines a light, And from the secret door a figure creeps To keep the tryst he made that night. Side by side two shadows move Till the dawn comes faintly gray He keeps the vow he made his love That he'd be true alway.— Ideal & Boilers American Radiators Are the Best for House Heating Ask the Hermits They Use Them Sold by The W.

Corday & Gross, Anti-Waste-Basket Printers, Cleveland, Ohio. Gentlemen:- In April last year you recall I wrote you how quite suddenly my brother's prune farm in the adjoining county was literally turned over to me here. I have been too busy meantime re-arranging things to suit changed conditions to write sooner. But now I have perhaps a peculiar request and maybe you can help me out in our somewhat upset state. The prune orchards have finally been coaxed to bear heavily upside down---I have trained the office force to work standing on their heads, and Alvarez, the Greaser office boy, cleverly sticks postage on bottom side up without batting an eye. But Miss Pelling and Miss Taque, the stenographers, complain of the way the office ceiling is daily littered with paper scraps around their desks. Knowing by experience your intelligent service and noticing you advertise anti-waste-baskets naturally built upside down, I want your bottom price on dozen lots f.o.b. Heltopay. By the way, the beautiful, well-printed Prune Catalog you got out in 1905 for my brother, made a big hit with the fancy trade and helped prune sales immensely, despite the crop was late and not prime. I shall probably want you to make me a larger, finer book the coming season. We certainly have confidence in the result- bringing ability of Catalogs you make. While our trees are now just full of prunes, this new-found prosperity is not assured till the crop is picked. For if the luscious fruit drops off the trees under present conditions, it becomes food for larks. And as this town is built on and sustained by prunes, that would mean Heltopay in California no more. I hope for the best. Awaiting prompt quotation on baskets, I am Does it pay it pay to adver P.S. Raila G Oston above, the quake having also reversed I find it would not do to change advertise? Address me exa the letters in my back now. Corday & Grosz Members N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE N. Y.

HE HERMITS accompanied T by their friends (the audience) have taken trips to Holland, Spain and California. ¶ Better all make your next trip to The White Garage, and let us explain The Incomparable WHITE The car for service The Daisy in the Dandelion Bed I. Once a daisy who one night was born, Sleepily lifting her head, Found that she was growing all forlorn In a Dandelion bed. She thought no harm Felt no alarm, Such company she could enjoy But when 'twas light She screamed in fright Ev'ry one was a boy. REFRAIN. Poor little lonesome maid, so afraid, shy young maid, When to be friendly those boys essayed, Shrank dismayed, lonely stayed, Not once could they persuade She'd evade, all their aid, She wouldn't join the games they played, Poor little lonesome maid. II. For a long time Daisy sighed and pined; Then she saw that wasn't best, Very wisely she made up her mind. To be just like the rest. What e'er they'd do She did it too, Though she got many a bump and fall; And at last she Turned out to be Best fellow of them all. REFRAIN. Gay little laughing maid, unafraid, bold young maid, Went to those boys and their friendship prayed Asked their aid, found it paid; Each one her slave she made. She'd persuade, they obeyed; She led the way each game they played, Gay little laughing maid. AMERICA'S BEST BUILT CAR 40 H. P. 60 H. P.

The Carnival, the Carnival doth come to cheer our hearts. To keep the fun without alloy, we'll play our cheerful parts. To keep the fun without alloy, we'll play our cheerful parts. Hurrah! Hurrah!

We maidens come with flowers so rich and rare, Pray kind sirs will you have a Boutonniere? We can hardly see how flowers can vie With the bright and rosy tints that in your cheeks do lie, Away then we go, confetti to throw, To stranger or foe, naught but kindness show. The blue-tinted skies and soft beaming eyes All make a Carnival which we dearly prize. Music entrancing, lures us to dancing, Strike up musicians and play with your might. Come then my treasure; Let's trip a measure. On with the dance, on with the dance. On with the dance, on with the dance.

SHARP History EVER was a club more appropriately named than N the Hermit Club. The appellation comes from the location of the club house in a deep defile that intersects the tall blocks of the busy down- town district, where Retiring from the populous noise, I seek This unfrequented place to find some ease. Though the poet Milton clearly had the club in mind when. he wrote those lines, it was not until February 17th, 1904, that the proposals for its embodiment were first broached to some half-dozen men. Then the history of the Club was made in a rapid sequence of events. An organization committee was ap- pointed March 12th, 1904. The Club was incorporated April 16th, 1904. Building plans were approved May 25th, ground broken June 10th, and the club-house formally opened Novem- ber 5th, 1904-less than nine months after the presentation of the idea. In selecting the membership of the Club, the chief aim has been to associate those kindred spirits among the younger ele- ment of professional and business men whose tastes in lighter moments incline toward literary, artistic or musical diversions. In this the Club has been singularly successful, and it is there- fore not altogether astonishing that talent of this sort, when coupled with the executive ability that characterizes the members of the Club in working hours, should have resulted in unqualified successes upon the occasion of the Club's annual performances in public. The Club's first production, "The Hermits in Holland," oc- cupied the Opera House for eight performances the week of June 1st, 1905. Coming so soon after the organization of the Club, the public were not prepared for the finished production that was given, and that at once established the reputation of the Club as an amusement-provider. With the second public production, "The Hermits in Spain," no such surprise was possible; but upon this occasion the Club had the satisfaction of playing to the largest week's business-at regular prices-in the history of the Opera House; and the enthusiasm of the audience at the closing performance resulted in an ovation such as was probably never before seen in any Cleveland playhouse.

Worthington GOVERNMENT DEPOSITORY The latest "Pilgrimage" of "The Hermits" has been to Dixie. Q UITE naturally, in their desire to stage most effectively and recount most entertainingly their experiences there, they chose that locality best expressing the charm, picture and history of the South. This they found at Old Point Comfort, Virginia. The fascination of Old Point is a matter of generations-going back three hundred years. The natural beauty and advantages of the situation and the romance and tradition vested there, have never failed to inspire and have again and again been demanded for song and story. HOTEL CHAMBERLIN, OLD POINT COMFORT, VIEW FROM HAMPTON ROADS. Entre act, while listening to "The Hermits "" interpretation, it may please their audience to learn of the real point of comfort at Old Point Comfort-the Hotel Chamberlin. Fortress Monroe and Hotel Chamberlin occupy the military reserva- tion, including that traditionally alluring point of land known as Old Point Comfort and they join their lives social. Fortress Monroe is counted one of the most desirable posts in all the country, chiefly because The Chamberlin is just without the ramparts. Hampton Roads, which is the frequent rendezvous of the mighty battleships, provides the magnificent water-foreground. This great, splendid hotel affords the opportunity for gayety or seclu- sion, as desired; and while it has the marked favor of fashionable folk, and there is always the Army and Navy contingent, with an in-gathering of guests from every quarter, the plan is so remarkably spacious and admirable that a crowd never crowds. Whether viewed from the sea or land, the huge structure is imposing, apparently rising right out of the water, with stately towers on either end and literally a thousand windows open to the sun and air. A broad plaza lies in front while a deep, long Scenes ACT I At Old Point Comfort, Virginia-the pier in front of Hotel Chamberlin, overlooking Hampton Roads. The time is morning of a rare spring day.

N. first, almost extravagant and the space devoted to public use more than gener- ous-the size of the rooms and the width and length of the corridors are ever the occasion of a pleasing surprise-there grows upon the guest a real sense of gratitude; for every where around about is a spaciousness which truly speaks of comfort. Comfort is, in- deed, the first aim and then, quiet elegance, for there is nothing of the spectacular nor garish about Hotel Chamberlin. The spaciousness and beauty of its proportions, its artistic and exquisite coloring, its luxurious and comfortable furnishings, all give to the newly-arrived guest delight and satisfaction. It is the remark of travelers that the design and location of the Chamberlin dining-room is unsurpassed in the re- stretch of piazza over-looks Hampton Roads with its ever-changing, always-in- teresting marine view-and what a view it is an almost limitless expanse of sea and sky with health giving breezes wafted shoreward! From the moment of entering the beautiful ro- tunda, which faces the east and looks out on Fortress Monroe with the sea in the distance, one is impressed with the difference between Hotel Chamberlin and other hotels of its class.

Reaching out over the beautiful waters of Hampton Roads, a colon- nade of windows presents practically front and sides of crystal through which to view the moving pictures of sea and sail and through which pours in a flood of golden sunlight. The great battleships are anchored so close that the strains of martial music come distinctly over the waters and there is also wafted the note of passing hours in "four bells." "eight bells." The little steam launches, in their fresh white bonnets, scurry hither and yon, and every now and then is the booming of cannon, suggesting the pleasurable excitement of an "official call," or a man of- war newly arrived in the Roads. The great, big house offers many opportunities for pleasures, comfort and take-thine-ease; each different; all inviting; but the Sun Parlor is the favorite dallying place and has ever been, particularly at the sun set hour, when tea is served. The long facade of windows looks out upon the magnificent harbor way off to the crumpled curtain of grey which the fading distance lets down, while the sun drops a dazzling sphere of gold to shiver the water mirror into myriad glistening prisms. VISITING A BATTLE SHIP The climate at Old Point Comfort leaves nothing to be desired, free as it is, from extremes of heat and cold. The winters are mild, and the Gulf Stream, which at Old Point Comfort reaches closer to the shore than at any other on the coast, keeps the air mild and balmy almost un- interruptedly. The shore has distinct advantages, being warmer in winter and cooler in summer than inland or moun- tainous districts; and too, the extreme variations between the day and night temperature are rarely observed at the sea- shore. Indeed, the chief char- BOAT LANDING Musical Numbers ACT II "Swinging in the Twilight" Spencer Tom, Debutantes and Cadets "Nature Fakes".

There is also an excess of the life- giving "ozone" in the air and the marked purity of the atmosphere through the fact that the sea presents an ever-moving surface and no impurities in the shape of organic dust can rest upon it so as to be blown about again in mischievous activity, with every breeze. Whether the stress be that of weather, or times, or illness, or people, or pressure of affairs, true is Old Point Comfort to its early reputation, given by the Adventurers, who found here a point of land "which put us in good comfort," and was by them accordingly named. The location of The Chamberlin is so near by and accessible to places of interest, historical, industrial, educational and picturesque, that more can be accomplished within a few days with Old Point as the radiating center than from other places in double the time. While for the one who would lounge and be sweetly idle, there is abundant opportunity and always the diversions of the Hotel and the Fort are right at hand. It is delightful in this place expressing the hospitality of lang syne, to understand that each may follow his fad or fancy and should the whim possess him to sit in the corner and read, or meditate-to be quite by him self-an agreeable courtesy makes all others unmindful of his pres- ence; when it is his mood to turn sociable, he is made to feel that a place awaits him and-every one is content.

It has become the acknowledged leader, not only in the "city of great hotels' but in the world. Those who have experienced the joys of living in this home-like and refined hostelry do not need to be reminded of its superlative attractions. But many people who frequently visit New York have been denying themselves the pleasure of what might easily have been theirs under the mistaken notion that Hotel St. Regis is a place only for the very wealthy or the ultra fashionable, and that "common people" would feel out of place within its portals. The truth is the St. Regis is a place where all good people feel at home. With all its beauty and comfort-giving appoint- ments, there is entire absence of exclusiveness. You may live at the St. Regis for a day or a year confi- dent that everything possible will be done to make your stay agreeable and at as fair a reckoning as at any high class hotel. In the matter of both restaurant and room charges there is moderation. To dine at the St. Regis costs no more than at other first-class hotels, while a large outside room may be had at $4 a day. The same with private bath at $5 ($6 for two people), or a parlor, bedroom and bath at $12. AFTER THE SHOW THE HOLLENDEN GRILL ROOM J. H. THOMPSON Manager 街 ​ Synopsis with A Little Bit of History M USICAL Comedy is held by some writers on theatrical topics to be a strictly modern form of entertainment, an offspring of the variety stage embracing the features of opera, comedy, melo- drama and vaudeville. It is interesting to note in this con- nection, however, that a modified form of this amusement was known to the Greeks some five hundred years before the Christian Era and was introduced by Thespis, who has been styled the father of tragedy. He was an enterprising manager and, like many of his latter day confreres, gave the people the sort of entertainment they seemed to want. When he found his patrons were not disposed to sit through his long tragic monologues he gathered a chorus about him on the Thymele or Dionysian altar and introduced a species of dialogue which was alternated with songs and dances. A little later Phryni- chus, a pupil of Thespis, introduced female parts into his plays and here we have the first record of men disporting in petticoats, if such apparel was known to the early Grecian women. Thus do we Hermits prove our right to venture into musical comedy and to don our sisters' finery and make merry before a concourse of people. The locale of our play this year is Old Point Comfort, Virginia, and the time is the height of the Social Season. Here tourists and pleasure seekers flock from all parts of the country and commingle with the Army and Navy contingent giving the whole scene an air of ultra cosmopolitanism. Uncle Sam has been very busy lately turning out first-class battleships and as a result some of the second class ships and cruisers have been called upon to retire or give up their names, it being the plan to name the largest ships after the States and the little sisters after the cities. The abundance of forest trees furnish a most beautiful setting for the homes now being planned for Fairmount Boulevard Stratford Road and other of our improved streets.

WHIPPLE, Cleveland Sales Manager, 806-807 American Trust Building, Cleveland, Ohio Synopsis Continued And so in the beginning of our play we imagine one of these battleships is to be re-christened after an old town in Virginia. Of course this is a big social event and Miss Virginia Lee, who is to break the magic bottle, finds herself in the center of much gaiety. ACT I The curtain rises on a bevy of hotel guests and tourists who have gathered on the pier to hail the incoming steamers. Major Cumberland Waddle, U. S. A., is badly upset by an order from the war department detailing practice marches for his regiment and requiring the officers to be mounted. The Major is a man of wide girth and unused to gruelling exercise astride a horse but he realizes he must make good or retire from the service. He finally decides to take anti-fat treat- ment and condition himself for the "hike," so he consults Dr. Von Leibig, a celebrated German specialist. Mrs. Culpepper Dinwiddie, a dashing widow of the dangerous age of thirty- nine, has come to Old Point with her niece Virginia to attend the christening. She has high social ambition and plans a marriage for her niece with Count Boni de la Petit Dejeuner an impecunious French nobleman who is temporarily serving as dancing master to the officers children. Stephen Decatur, a lieutenant in the Navy, is in love with Virginia but his suit is frowned upon by the aunty. When Decatur learns that he is to be turned aside for a title, his Southern blood waxes hot and he gives utterance to sentiments which estrange him from Virginia. Rear Admiral Davy Ketch arrives at this junc- ture and the act is brought to an end. ACT II The officers at Fortress Monroe have planned a hop in honor of Virginia and the West Pointers and the debutantes are very much in evidence. Major Waddle has found Von Leibig's treatment ineffectual and when he sees resignation before him decides to propose for Mrs. Dinwiddie's hand through the doctor. Davy Ketch, home from a long cruise, finds the widow's charms irresistible but he, like the Major, lacks courage in such an issue so Von Liebig finds himself commissioned to act for him, too, after the fashion of John Alden. Now the doctor entertains similar sentiments toward this Otis & Hough Cuyahoga Building Members New York Stock Exchange Cleveland Stock Exchange Chicago Stock Exchange Columbus Stock Exchange Chicago Board of Trade.

Virginia overhears her aunt talking with Count Boni and when she learns the proposal comes because of her money she rebels and decides to ask Steve to come to her rescue. Now Steve has felt great remorse over his utterances of the morning and has decided to ask Vir- ginia's forgiveness. In their childhood days, whenever they quarreled the one who sought forgiveness would send an Azalia blossom to the other as a peace offering and on this evening without the knowledge of the other, each sends this token by Wash, a darkey, who with characteristic stupidity forgets to carry out his mission. Thus do the lovers think that insult has been added to injury. The musicians arrive and the dancing begins when to the surprise and consterna- tion of all the Count is accused of being a spy and is placed under arrest. ACT III This act takes place the following day and the scene is the forward deck of the good ship Arizona. Major Waddle finds to his joy that while he erred in arresting Count Boni as a spy, the war department held that he might have been one and such an act of vigilance should not go un-rewarded, so he is promoted to an office which relieves him from prac- tice marches and mounted duty. Davy Ketch retires from the field and when Dr. Von Leibig presents the widow with a huge bill for professional services she decides to marry him. and keep the money. Count Boni's arrest has resulted in getting his name and picture in the daily papers and he awakes to find himself famous, fully equipped for a career in Grand Opera. Steve has been made a Commander and is to be in full charge of the Arizona but the irony of having his ship christened by the girl who has flouted him, lies heavy on his heart. As in all good stories, however, a way is found whereby the discordance is set aright and the lovers are re- united. The President's yacht is sighted and as this is the signal for the ceremony the Arizona takes on another name amidst the flying of flags, the huzzas of the assembly and the crashing music of the ship's band.

Happy Days When we all were boys at Keswick, In the little village school, How we loved our dear old teacher, Never broke a single rule. Hid a tack upon his chair once, Wishing joy to fill his cup. When he came and sat upon it We all shouted "Going up." CHORUS. Those were happy days for fair, Placing tacks on teacher's chair, Hiding near, but out of view, Just to see what he would do. Teacher jumped with every joint When he found he'd made a point. That was how he got a raise. Gee! But those were happy days. One fine day we played at hookey, From our morning studies stole, Had a reg'lar summer picnic Down at our old swimmin' hole. Yes and Tommy soaked our trousers, Tied 'em up in good hard knots. You kids had to get some barrels Then sneak home 'cross vacant lots. CHORUS. Those were happy days for sure. Our dads tried a water cure, Licked us every one so good That at supper time we stood, And the folks all over town Knew we'd rather not sit down. How we shrank from public gaze. Gee!

But a life on the wave had made me so brave That I rose to the point like a king, And reckless of fate I called to the mate, And told him to kill the thing. I told him to kill the thing, my lads, I told him to kill the thing. Now I'm (he's) known as a hero from here to Janeiro, For I (he) told them to kill the thing. We've been listening to his tip On the christening of the ship, And we'll go to see her take another name. Merry measure, brightest pleasure, Shall be rulers of the day. We'll enhance our daily leisure With our celebration gay, As we christen, christen, christen, This good ship here in the bay. The Moncrief All Cast Furnace MONCRIFE HENRY & SCREIBLE JC KINAN K.C.MO.

The Standard Oil Company Swinging in the Twilight Amid the Southern twilight, gently swinging to and fro, Each maiden with a suitor at her side; Her eager lover coaxing her to choose him as her beau, Each girlish heart a brimming o'er with pride. Just see him as he swings her to the music of the band, Or to the softer music of her voice, And hear him beg that she'll at once bestow her heart and hand, And bid his lover's hungry heart rejoice. CHORUS. Swinging, swinging, gently to and fro, In the softly fading twilight's golden glow, Where the southern zephyrs sweetest fragrance bring, We will pledge devotion as we swing, swing, swing. Now swinging thus at twilight seems to weave a mystic spell, That makes the maidens do as they are bid, And if you'll promise, 'cross your heart, the secret not to tell, I'll let you know just what these couples did. From somewhere in the neighborhood an order was received, That seemed to catch the ear of every miss, And both my eyes are color blind and both my ears deceived Unless I saw and heard each couple kiss.

Harding Davis, accomplished one feat heretofore impossible. It placed a lump of ice on the outstretched palm of a dusky native accustomed only to the year-around sweltering heat of the equatorial jungle. To one who had never known anything colder than about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, this feat was another evidence of the superhuman power of the white man to deal in magic. "Thermos" the bottle invented by Reinhold Burger, a German, en- abled this to be done. The vacuum between the two bottles is such a perfect non-conductor of heat that "Thermos" was able to do the trick. Similarly in the Arctic region. It apparently defies all natural laws, as liquids may be poured out steaming hot hours and hours after they are placed within it. This remarkable invention which keeps cold things cold and hot things hot for an indefinite length of time is coming to be regarded as an indispensable article for the nursery, the automobile, the explorer, the hunter, the mechanic, the mountain climber, the soldier. Think of it, baby fed from "Thermos" with milk kept at just the right temperature, father and mother asleep again before they knew they were awake. Please call and ask questions about this. Let us explain its merits to you.

The Hermit Base Ball Team On April 1st, 1905, a ray of intelligence appeared for a moment on the ponderous face of Rufus P. Ranney and then disappeared forever. "Fellows," he said, "we must have a ball team." "Oh, goodie!" said Mr. James Mathers, "that would be swell." Just then Mr. William J. Starkweather emerged upon the scene. "We want you to join our ball team," said Rufus and James in raucous tones together. "High, Fish, or Snow," said William, just like a flash. (Will was considered a great joker in those days.) "That's a good one," cried young R. Prescott Beardslee, with a loud guffaw. "All right then," said Rufus and James together, "you can play first base." "Now," said Rufus, "shall we make this a society team or have Al Bailey?" So they decided to ask Mr. Albert Bailey to join the team. "Have you ever done anything in athletics, Mr. Bailey?" they asked him. Mr. Bailey answered them immaculately, his natural modesty struggling with a pardonable pride. "I was Chief Rover on the Kalamazoo Business College Croquet Team when I was a mere callow youth." "Then you must be in good practice now," drawled Mr. Starkweather with a sly leer. "That's a good one," cried young R. Prescott Beardslee with a loud guffaw. Pleased to secure such a valuable member for their team Rufus and James grasped him warmly by his hands and feet. Just then they espied Charles Augustus Maher trying to hide behind a wild westcoat. "He can't play ball," said Rufus with a sneer. "Yes, but he always looks so swell," said James. "You will be our pitcher," they said together. 'I thank you men," said Charles showing his teeth. Mr. Roger Enwright happening to wake just at this mo- ment, they timidly approached this great man and requested North British & Mercantile Insurance Co.

They replied wonderingly in the affirmative. "Then I can not join you." he said sadly. "But why?" said Rufus and James together. He turned away, vainly struggling with his emotion. "My legs." he cried-and broke down completely. Regretting that it was impossible for Mr. Enwright to be on the team they looked around for other possible can- didates. Mr. Mortimer W. Lawrence happening to get in their way, they told him he could belong. "But I don't play baseball," he lisped. "Oh, that's all right." said Rufus and James together, "we just want you for a portable back-stop." They now had a very formidable looking team. But they needed more ginger. So you can imagine how delighted they were when they discovered Mr. Albert Rees Davis playing one of his own compositions on the piano. He readily agreed to play at any time he was not composing. "Would you care to join our ball team?" they asked Mr. Chas. W. Stage. "Yes and No," he replied with a wise judicial frown. "You are just the man to be our umpire," said Rufus, who admired Mr. Stage's decision of character. Mr. "Oh, goodness," said James, "we mustn't forget Mr. Meade." Everybody immediately said, "Oh, no, we mustn't forget Mr. Meade." So they appointed Mr. Mortimer W. Lawrence a committee of three to wait upon him. Lawrence waited some time and then as he did not appear they decided to seek him. They finally found him in his boudoir, playing on his auto-harp and singing in a low, sweet voice. He readily agreed to play on the team, his only pro- vision being that he should be their captain. Realizing the justice of his position he was promptly elected. Mr. Meade immediately took charge of the team in his inimitable way and after inspecting the list of members said: "We now have a fine nucleus, but we ought to have some substitutes to repre- sent us on the field." Realizing the seriousness of this charge they formed themselves into a conclave and elected the fol- lowing: COUNTRY RIDES "MAPLE LEAF ROUTE" Traversing the Most Beautiful Section of Northern Ohio THE SCENIC LINE to Gates Mills, Chesterland Caves, Punderson Lake, Bass Lake, Horseshoe Glens, Chagrin Falls.

The Hermit Base Ball Team-Concluded Mr. Alcinous Ward Fenton, Jr. (because his name looks so well in print). Mr. Joseph C. Royon (played on the Ohio Agricultural College Roko team). Mr. Reginald Squire (to lick the umpire). and Mr. Guy S. Gardner (water carrier). There was considerable discussion as to the eligibility of Mr. John W. Pickard, Jr.. until Mr. Mathers proved con- clusively that he parted his hair in the middle, when he was elected without one dissenting vote. They now had the most wonderful team of baseball players ever gathered together under one tent, and as Mr. Meade gazed upon the unique, bottle-scarred faces of those who were to uphold the honor of the club upon the baseball diamond, a feeling of loyalty and pride filled his manly chest. "We will have out first meeting next Saturday night," he said. "Bring in the high-balls." And they brought them in. * * * I wish I had the power to tell of the wonderful fight that Al Davis made for lavender suits with old rose stockings. Would that tongue could tell of James Mather's impassioned plea for mauve uniforms with yellow organdie trimmings. Oh, that I could remember the oratorical rhapsodies of Al Bailey as he stood-tears streaming down his human, though untamed face-begging for maroon blouses and pink pants. But to what avail when Frank Meade-our Frank-arose and spoke, as only Frank can speak, for yellow-plain, simple, spot- less yellow. Suffice it to say that yellow from that moment became the emblem of the team. * * * [Ed. note. While it is true that out of 59 games played in three years the Hermit Baseball Team did not win one, still it cannot be denied that they were always immaculate in appearance, refined in conversation and courteously polite to their opponents. A few more teams like this would make baseball-not the rough, coarse, rowdy game as played by the masses today-but a social education,-a ray of sunshine in an unenlightened world, a thing of beauty and a joy forever.] "YOUR DUDS AND OUR SUDS" EAGLE LAUNDRY AAAA VA FA CLEVELAND, OHIO 55&COPALE B ALE BASS ALE GUINNESS STOUT MCMULLEN'S WHITE LABEL FORCIC EXTRA Trrat PINTS and SPLITS Gate London & Lancashire Fire Insurance Co.

This belt drove the main shaft [250 R. P. M.] on the second floor of their plant from the engine located in the basement. Seven years ago, AFTER 25 YEARS OF STEADY SERVICE, this belt was removed only because the larger engine and additional tools which were then in- stalled required a 36 in. double Sable belt. Under date of Feb. 5th, 1908, Mr. W. Palmer Clarkson, secretary of the company, writes about the belt: "We still have it and it is in good condition." This company still evidences its faith in Sable by using it exclu- sively. Shultz Sable Belting is by far the least expensive, although its first cost is a trifle higher than that of oak-tanned belting. Remember that Sable being tanned on the outside only, has (1) a soft surface which runs slack without slip, and (2) a rawhide interior, which gives strength, life and pliability. Sable transmits from 4 to MORE power because it runs with low initial tension and does not overheat the bearings nor seriously wear them. Try a Sable Belt for 60 days free.

West 80th Street An Appreciation of George Bernard Shaw. Reprinted by courtesy of the Editors of The Yellow Kid. To say that George Bernard Shaw is a transcen-dentist is to pro- claim an otherwise illusive and expectory truth in too diverse fashion. He is pliescent, that is cognately certain; this despite the deeply psychic opinions of that Anarach Schlitsky. Shall we hazard a statement that he is unerring in his close and at the same time open theory of the matri- monial chaoticism; that theory which for good or bad is now generally amulable? Amulable?-what a trend of thought that word suggests! leading one as an aerolite to the tenuous visions of things unfulfilled. And yet we use it advisedly; for Mr. Shaw in his high wrought mo- ments when he tears loose in his forensic debauchery and shakes the foundations of asthenic convention is no less than so or even possibly more, rather more than less and yet how sad; sad as an unremembered joy or woe that is to be and is not, and in being not, yet is and is to be, and yet is not: sad as the hush-of what? Who shall say, lest in say- ing he shall eventuate a collocism. Do you Ass or Super-ass! Mr. Shaw in his own heart does not know which, and in not knowing, he becomes collatively a bigarite. doubt it, gentle reader? Is he not diapetic and doesn't that obtain for bigarism? And then-but no, that first collarary is proof. And who shall deny the truth thereof? Amulable and a bigarite! What then? Does he construct when he destroys? Or is he himself an anarach? Do you ask proof, you un- believer? Listen, then, to the triatode of the Icelandic poet "To destroy is to have not And being so It sweeps on to a dim futurity." Could anything be more succinct? It is not for nothing that Swine breathed the pure aid of higher criticism. And yet these moods of G. B. Shaw must be approached sanely as does approach the hunter the wild flamingo with turmid tail, lest by a very overplus of appreciation the fruit wither and fall. A Mulagoose? No, and no again! Shaw would be the first to disclaim the syllabus, for Shaw with all his frantic and splenetic, yet. docile impressibility is still a Mugalope. In his heart of hearts he knew it too, wily, wistful whimperer as he is. And yes and no and how and when, and whither, whence and why: these and other of the scholastic mysticisms. And then the dark.
