YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS The Minstrel Show is a reality! Al- though we announced the coming of a minstrel show over a month ago every- body thought the idea must have fall- en through. Your executive, however, is a very silent working machine. During the past few weeks they have been gathering music orchestrations, etc, forming committees, organizing material and a program and getting together an orchestra. Now they are ready to fire the gun,'in fact the first shot has been fired and it looks like a bull's eye. The class has been fortunate in <e- curing the services of Victor Stouffer as musical director. Victor has worked hard getting together an orchestra and arranging the music. When it comes to end men, singers, dancers, the show has all the heirs of Caruso and Uncle Tom under contract. . Watch for the dates-- two nights-- about the third or fourth week in March.

DIED Pe Lr YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE CLASS MINSTREL SHOW, TOWN HALL, MARCH 27 and 28 Hl -- MII DML WHY IS A FEMALE? (At the carnival last week all the contestants in the class--Best cos- tumed Lady---impersonated male char- acters,) The triumvirate of Judges on the Bench (bench, is literal in this case) struck a poser when 'Best Costumed Lady" class was called, at least the mere man who assisted the Lady Solons was distinctly befogged. "Lady's Costume" roared Jim into the megaphone. "Lady's Costume" echoed the meg' in falsetto--they use the meg' for a silencer at the rink-- and out dashed a dozen or so stal- wart masculiners, cow-boys, cut-throat pirates, bull-fighters, Amos and Andy, and Daniel Boone from Kentucky with his long rifle. Had the meg' reversed the message and summoned the wong sex? Just then a lone female mulatto ap- peared and prepared to join the sev- eral male quartettes. "Here comes Eliza" hailed the senior Judge. "She's getting on the ice, she's starting to cross the Delaware." "The Ohio" you mean" corrected the more erudite of the judges. "It was Washington who crossed the Dela- ware", she added with conscious su- periority. "Quite, 80; quite 80" hastily agreed the first speaker with some embar- ressment, adding with an assumption of learning. "That's where his father chased him after he cut down the tree of knowledge." "The Cherry Tree", again corrected the erudite one. "The story of Adam's Apple is in an earlier volume." "Contention sustained, but let us return to our subject, our dark subject, I should say, Eliza, where are the Bloodhounds ?" They are follow- ing Amos and Andy now," explained his tormentor with painful humility. "Do you not follow the modern classics 7, "Not the coloured ones," parried the harassed Judge. «ot course I have read Othello, but I realize that he is rightfully out of date." by the man with the meg' ordering Eliza off the ice in the language ot Simon Legree and suiting: the action to the word by a bash with the meg' as she retreated, "Hey! lay off "that rough stuff, do you hear" thundered his lordship, lapsing from the language of the judicature to the voluminous volley of the vernacular, "you can't treat a colored lady that way--not while I'm around--and if I had a good skate on I would show you--he added pompous- ly as he advanced menacingly, but cautiously, trying to look like Marc Anthony but looking more like some easy mark." "Hush", motioned the man with the meg'. "Hush be darned, I'm not a scared of Hush or Jack Canuck, either, have you never heard of Abe Lincoln the coloured emancipator ? "That -she-male is a he-male" af- firmed the director. That who, is a which?" stammered the perplexed judge. "He may be a witch but he isn't a woman and he is not coming in this class, Do you get me?" replied the now irate stage manager. The judge placed a hot hand on his moist brow and retreated to the dais to tell the news to the brace of Portias. If he thought he was going to knock them dead with surprise he. missed his guess. "Did you g0 away over there to find that out?" they asked as they arched their eyebrows another notch. "We could have told you that", they added with cutting sweetness, No! why, why, yes, why how could I know?" expostulated the humiliated tribune as the prespiration turned to icicles on his brow." "Well anyway, why do they treat our august persons with this seeming levity? We call for skirts and they send us bipeds! Clear the ice corporal, on with the dance. We will retire from dais." "Not so fast", said the Lady Solons, "we stay here till we give our sisters in disguise the rewards of merit." "I, I, I beg your pardons, collective- ly, but I, I, I am afraid I do not un- derstand you." "Do you need also to be informed that these gentlemen are perfect ladies." = "Impossible!" "Not at all, remember, clothes do not make the gentleman." "Well they have a lot to do with making some ladies, but we will waive the point", said the cresfallen Daniel as he attempted to crawl back to judg- gest that we hand the prize to Daniel Boone from Kentucky. "That goes with us" they shouted in chorus, "and shows that great minds sometimes think alike" they added magnanimously "but, that is not Daniel Boone from Kentucky, it is '| Robinson Cruso from Dafoe." "Hardon me dear ladies, it is Danfel Boone from Kentucky, see his long rifle, that is his buffalo 'gun, Danfel 1s about to shoot the bull." . "Excuse us judge, but that is Rob- The cension was mercifully removed' gun, guns of that period were made in Syracuse, it is a goat-gun, we can tell it by the hair-trigger." "Contention sustained", admitted the mere man, "but why do you call him Robinson", "Silly, its because she crew so." : 54 Quick, boy! page the ambulance. As they carried him off he was heard to chatter, "if a grey mule can eat a barrel of bran mash, how many a meeting' house." REDUCED PRICES Suits sponged and pressed 80 Cents Dry Cleaned $1.00 C.
