AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Little Cafe" at Barre Opera House
Next Wednesday.
"The Little Cafe," which for over a
year iuu utvn akucmiuiuu uie jniiMieai
conWy par excellence, a statement which
must be considered seriously when it is
considered that it ran for nearly a year
on Broadway, comes to the opera house
next Wednesday, Feb. 28, with its origi
nal company of 50 people. Moreover, it
comes with its original cast, something
to be appreciated in these days when
musical comedy stars are reluctant to
leave the metropolis of the east. "The
" Little Cafe," is said to inspire the in-
toxicating wine of music; it is laughter
set to song and when the authors, C. M.
S. McLellan and Ivan Caryall, are con
sidered the assertion must be given some
weight, for not since the days of Gil
bert and Sullivan has any combination
of two men arisen to don the mantle of
delicate drollery, foolery and haunting
melody as these two.
The piece is an adaptation of Tristan
Bernard's rollicking French fare, "La
Petit Cafe," but it has none of that
French nasitines which invariably is
considered by theatregoers part of French
comedies. It is a musical comedy eon
tructed by experts a deft, finished
evening' entertainment, filled with
bright, catchy melodies, much droll fool
ing and a sumptuous superstructure of
pretty women and beautiful gowns.

What is known as the old Sam Hoyt

last Monday morning at about 6 o'clock.
Tlie cause of the fire is unknown, feit
evidence points to the fact that it start

one of the partitions, and it is suspect

to do about it. There was no wind that

He says that a few drops of a drug
called lreezone, applied directly uiion
tender, aching corn, instantly relieves
soreness, and soon the entire corn, root
and all, lifts out without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is said to simply shrivel up the corn
without inflaming or even irritating the
surrounding tissue.
It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce
obtained at any drug store will cost
very little but is sufficient to reuove
every hard or soft corn or callous from
one's foot. Cut this out, especially if you

SEVEN WONDERS OF TODAY.
Thy Will Probably Bscoma tha Com
monplao cf Tomorrow.
Not a great many years ago a spec
tacled and skeptical old scientist wrote
a long thesis in which lie oiauned that
the world's great discoveries nil lay In
the past, that the future bud no new
wonders to disclose and that all the
really fundamental inventions, discov
eries and researches bad already been
made.
"For," said the pessimistic philoso
pher, "there are no more strange lands
to explore, no more conceivable Inven
tions for the benefit of mankind. The
telegraph, electric light, telephone and
electric motor are already here. The
camera and microscope, telescope and
linotype, printing press and sewlug
machine, airship and steamboat are
already discovered. What else is there
left that Is really new?"
But Mother Nature seemed to hare
kept her most wonderful secrets for
Just such an occasion. As If deliber
ately to disprove the foolish scientist
the next ten years brought out the
most astounding collection of new in
ventions and discoveries the world has
ever known, for, in the period imme
diately following the bold claim of this
doubting Thomas, Hertz discovered
electric waves, Marconi Invented wire
less telegraphy, Roentgen stumbled
upon the X ray, Mme. Curie Isolated
radium, Sir William Ramsay found
Ave new chemical elements, Edison
made his first moving picture machine,
the Wright brothers conquered the air,
and countless greater or lesser discov
eries astounded the scientific world.
So the seven great wonders of today
will become the commonplaces of to
morrow. J. S. Newman In St Nicholas.
