Old John Is Dead.
OXelll Democrat : Albert Rosier came
to town last week and with tears In
his voice told the Democrat the sad
news. John was the old reliable fam
ily horse. He was one of the finest
specimens of horse flesh in the county ,
equally at home on a carriage , on a
cultivator or under a saddle. John
was killed by lightning while peace
fully nibbling the luscious blue grass
In- the pasture , and his life was only
Insured for $50 , through the agency of
Steve McNichols , his demise is sadly
mourned Mr. Rosier and his family.
We have hung his harness on the wall
( We should have carried a hundred
risk )
Yet we thought the lightning would
pass him by
Though Steve to the contrary did
Insist.
I cannot think ofold John dead
I'd sooner think he'd strayed away ,
Tears fill my eyes as I see his stall
Where lies untouched his oats and
hay.
Death has Its pangs It pains me so
To think old John must leave the
the farm
Whore he worked the farm for eight
long years ,
And the smallest child he would not
harm.
As o'er the meadows green I gaze
Where old John met the lightning
bolt
And think of those small fifty plunks
His death gives me an awful Jolt.
He has strayed away ho has gone
afar
Ho will never come back to good
old Holt
Where's been put up itgalnst the saw
Since old John had been a little colt.
The meadow where John raked the
hay ,
Ne'er blooms so green since that
sad day
And our hearts cry out as oft we
mourn
Old John's not dead he's just away ,
If the object Is worth while , make
a want ad. "Campaign * of It and ac
complish it !
You never spent too much for a
thing after having read the ads care
fully.

see them In such condition because
Madison is one of the four best oal
producing counties in the state. On thc
whole oats over the state are poorei
than usual. Corn Is a bumper crop. '
Governor Sheldon is n farmer not n
Bryan farmer because he was a farmer
before ho became a politician while

slstant state veterinarian , after travel
Ing over Boyd county from one one'

turned to his home at Norfolk , onlj
to think , waking or sleeping , of noth
ing but the beautiful flolels of grait
and elegant hay meadows of Boye'
county , until he became possessed
with such a hungrylng for a sllco ol
her rich soil that he could no longoi
control his desire. Ho did what manj
an other sensible eastern man will
a little ready cash has done , returnee !
and purchased a farm. The deal was
made after Dr. Myers and his wife
had returned and looked the land ovci
to their entire satisfaction. It Is the
M. V. Hornbcck place , consisting ol
200 acres , lying five miles south ol
Butte.
There is no use attempting to ac
count for the certain fascinations that
military uniforms have for the femi
nine heart , but there's no use denying
it either , for a halo is promptly cast
about any stalwart youth and they arc
nearly always stalwart , who agree tc
don the uniform of their country's
fighting men and oven if their fights
are but mimic ones , the same halo
radiates and enshrines the uniform In
the hearts of nearly every American
maiden who boasts a spark of patriot
ism and where Is there one who does
not ? Herbert Carter , who as Lieut ,
Parkcs In the "Royal Chef" which ap
pears at the Auditorium on Tuesday
night has made a distinct hit In the
role , is a magnificent specimen of
manhood and wears a uniform like a
veritable West Pointer , Mr. Carter
Is conceded to possess one of the best
tenor voices in opera , is magnetic and
an actor of marked ability. Thc
visit of this gay glittering melange of
mirth and melody to Norfolk has
awakened unusual interest and will
doubtless score heavily with our play
goers.
Herbert Carter , who plays the part
of Lieut. Parkes in "The Royal Chef"
which comes to the Norfolk Audi
torium on Tuesday night , September
1 , Is a fair example of a hard working
young man on the stage who is ambi
tious to succeed. Only a few years
ago Mr. Carter was a member of the
"Burgomaster.1 His excellent voice
and his hard working methods soon
won him recognition from the man
agement , and he was given a small
part. Later he became a member of
Miss Anna Hold's company , and sang
the now famous "Violets. " Last sea
son he was engaged for the tenor part
in "The Royal Chef" and he has been
identified with that role the past two
seasons. Mr. Carter aspires to grand
opera and after a few years more
work in this country he Intends going
to Europe to study voice culture. The
entire company this season Is con
spicuous for merit , and is the only
"Royal Chef" organization on the road.
There never has been any "No. 2"
company and the entertainment to be
seen hero is in keeping with the New
York and Chicago productions.
Celebrated pictuics are often used
for models by scene painters who de
sire particularly striking effects in the
setting they produce. Nearly every
theatrical artist has his study well
stocked with photographs of familiar
masterpieces , and often of actual lo
calities. In fact , a firm of New York
artists but recently received a com
mission from the government to visit
the Grand Canyon of Arizona In order
that they might bo able to depict faith
fully and truthfully this great and
wonderful scene of nature. The
artists who built the second act of
"Tho Royal Chef" which Is to bo
seen at the Auditorium , Tuesday
night used a very famous painting for
their model. When the curtain goes
up at the Auditorium those in front
will see an exact reproduction of that
famous old picture , "Tho Spirit of
' 7C. " This musical pastime was the
vogue at the Lyric theater , New
York , for four months and the pro
duction has never been cheapened by
a surfeit of companies. There Is only
one "Royal Chef" organization and
patrons can rely on seeing the only
and original when It appears in this
city.
