Nowada)s, when the theatrical
morgue is filled with pUys that have
lived a week or two. or nt most a
month, after having beep taken to
Broudway, it Is interesting to note the
continued success of a plav that Iiuh
almost come to be an Institution of the
country. That nlay is, of course, "The
Old llomesteud," which opens this even
In: in the Columbia Theater, a pluy
which tannot be measured by present
day standaidd, el a pluy ho young that
It delights and entertains as much a
ever.
It has been morn than n uuartcr of a
century since this (harming plav of
New England country llfii first enter
tained theatergoers. Those who saw It
twenty-live years ago delight In seeing
It again, and those of the younger gen
eration who see It for the first time,
enjoy It Just as much as any of the
plays of the present day. A quarter of
a century is u Iciig- time for an thing to
endure. A quartet of a century as h
continuous run for a play Is something
so remarkable thut It causes olio to
panso in wonder what this erund old
story has that gives It such life. For
twenty-seven years, to he exact, this
show ha been on the roud, and hero
Is one of the reason: It bus u human

as enjoyable today as It win when Den

BILLY GOAT
BILLY no was sent to market one
morning, his mother w-as too
busy preserving to go. o hc
told Hilly 1'Ig to take 111 basket
and go to town.
"I want you to bring homo a nleo fat
duck," she said, "and don't you stop to
sleep or talk to Hilly dost on the way.
do straight to tho market and right
straight back."
"How can I," said Billy Pig. "the
road turn nnd I cannot go over the
tree."
"You silly, Billy," sold hi mother, "I
mean don't you stop, go straight
along."
8o Hilly Pig started off, he minded
this time, for he had een the folly of
disobedience, nnd he soon reached the
market and tilled tho basket.
The duck was o ntop nnd Billy was
hurrying through the woods when he
heard omc one calling hi name.
He looked around und coming down
another path was Mr. Vox. "Good
morning. Hilly Pig," he said. "You look
very fit In your white suit and your red
cap."
"X don't have fits." replied Billy Pfg
wUhlng Jlr. Fox would not stop him.
"Oh. I know that," said Mr. Fox
laughing. "I mean that you look very
nice you should always wear white."
Billy Pig did not reply for he In.
tended to mind his mother thl time,
nd bo right straight home, so he
walked past Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox, how
over, had no Intention of being left
In this manner, so he said: "Walt a
minute. Bllry Pig. I want to see your
red cap; I am thinking of getting one.
Why, what In tho world are you doing
with that spoiled duck?" he said, as
though he had Just noticed It.
"That Is a good duck," replied Billy
I'lg. "I Just got It from the market."
"Well, well, you certainly ure un easy
one to let that market man sell you :i
duck that Is bad," suld Mr. Fox. "Why,
Hilly I'lg, I could not think of letting
ou tako that bad duck homo to your
good mother. I am too good u. friend
of yours to do that."
"What is tho matter with It?" asked
Billy Pig, taking the duck from the
basket and looking at It. "I do not
see anything tho matter with It."
"Thut is because, you aro not u good
Judge of ducks, ' replied M,r. Fox.
"Now-. I can tell a good duck from a
bad duck Just us soon aa I seo It. no
mutter how far on I urn. That duel:
died from fright, und a duck that dies
from fright should never be eaten.
Throw it uwuv. Mlllv llc- nH i i .,..
right that you should carry It all tho
wuy nunie euo,er. xou nuvo too Heavy
n load now for u little fellow.
"I Insist upon your throwing awuy
thut duck that was frightened to death."
Billy Pig hesitated. "I guess I better
mw) u nuinc. nt. saia; motnar oan
lell whether It Is good or not. and -I
am very strong, Mr.. Fox. I carrr
heavier baskets than this sometimes.'
"Do you?" said Mr. Fox. "Well, I feel
It my duty to lighten this one by one
duck. It Is not good. Don't let me
have to tell you ugaln to throw thit
duck out of your basket."
Poor Billy Pig did not know what to
do. He did not think the duck wns bad.
and yet Mr. Fox ought to know, and
he seemed to think he should not carrv
It uny farther, so Billy Pig threw tho
duck In the bushes und started tn ,i
along. J
Mr. Fox stood-smiling to himself to I
think he had got his supper so easily I
when he heard Home one say: "Pick up i
your duck. Blllv Pig. Mr. Fox made u I
mistake; It Is not spoiled." 1

TIRO.UGH THEVfOODO j
Billy Pig and Mr. Fox turned around
and there whs Billy Ooat with hH head
lowered and pointed In tho direction of
Mr. Fox.
"You made a mistake, Mr. Fox. t am
sure," said Billy Moat, his head and
horns shaking as he spoke.
"Well, perhaps I did." said Mr. Fox,
moving away. "I seldom make a mli
take, but I guess I did this time," AnJ
off he ran.
"Pick up your duck," said Billy Coat,
"you are the ono that Is frightened to
death, not the duck- it Is ull right. That
sly Mr. Fox was trying to make yoa
think It was bad, and when you were
out of s!gh.t he would have carried It
oft to his cave and eaten It for hi sup
per." Billy Pig picked up the duck and put
It In his basket. Ho was thinking ot all
the tricks he had played lin Billy Ooat.
and wondered what he should say to
him for helping him.
Billy float spoke first. "I guess wo
are about even on pluying tricks," ho
said, "I will help you carry your bas
ktt; It looks heavy."
"Thank ou." replied Billy Pig. "Tho
basket Isn't heavy, but 1 should be Rlad
nf our company, and I thank you also
for saving my duck."
"Oh! that is nil right!" replied Blllv
Ooat. "I am ulways glad to help a
friend, and thnt Mr. Fox needs a god
Ii sson, and I should have only been ton
glad to have butted him."
"Blllv Ooat It a pretty good fellow."
Blllv Pig told his mother when he
riHched home. "Ho helped me. carrv
inv basket through tho woods." He,
did not tell her about Mr. Fox, and how
ncur he came to losing tho duck.
