"Honeymoon Trail," which comes to
the Keith Thursday evening with its
wealth of catchy music, pretty girls
and gorgeous costumes, has been de
Bcribed as a play where "every minute

"The Dollar Princess" drew a largo
audienceat the Keith Saturday eyening,
but did not give the satisfaction that
was anticipated. The music was not the
"catchy" kind that a North Platte audi
once enjoys, and the comedy parts
were not such as to evoke much laugh
ter. The play and the people aro prob
ably good, but evidently we have not
been sufficiently educated to enjoy
the good things along the theatrical
line. Be this as it may, the average
fellow who paid two dollars for
a seat did not feel that ha received his
money's worth.

The Lord said ho wished to show
To His erring children hero below
That Ho had plenty in His store
For those who knocked at Heaven's
, door
And hence would give to some bright
land
Samples of blessings from His right
hand:
Andif you think there's cause to doubt
Just listen to how God reasoned about
it.
These gifts I can't give to the States in
the East,
The weather's too damp for both man
ana ueost:
And tho Northern States I consider to
gether.
I made a mistako when I put up their
weather.
For it blizzards and cyclones, tornadoes
and cold,
No ono can enjoy good gifts, I am told,
To the land whore the fig and orange
tree crow.
For here it is true is a beautiful land.
But then there's tho fog, the dust and
the sand!
And those who enjoy these gifts as
they must
Can't do it in the sand and tho fogs and
the oust.
At last reaching Texas, a State of
Bomo size
He decided to give her His capital
prize:
And opening wide His bountiful hand,
He dispersed Ills blessings all over the
and.
And hence we enjoy as these blessings
or ours
Ten months in tho year the most beaut
iful nowers:
And nights most delightful, fanned by
tno breeze
That comes sweeping across her from
ovor tno seas.
And Italy's skies with our own won't
compare;
Nor is hor land moro fertile nor her
ladies moro fair:
And tho grasses that grow on these
ranges of ours
Are kept beautifully green by the
Bweet summer showers.
And, as we know, to enjoy our wealth,
We must first secure the blessings of
health:
Thence we declare to the sick in each
climo
That health you can have if you come
here in time.
And now to our friends in the East,
JNorth and West.
We want you to come hore and with
us bo blest;
For God never intended that wo all
alone
Should enjoy all these blessings that
He has bestown.
