August 2 THE NEW YOEK OLIPPEE,. 5 TO BE DONE! We simply cannot resist the temptation ol reproducing the lync of the most wohderlul ■ descriptive moral ballad with 9 punch, that was overwinter ,n » "'"^ ' the history of; •'Songdom" ;.V; V: ' : ,. A a T 1st VEH8E. You made me think you cared for me, And I believed in you, You told me things you never meant, And made me think them true. I gambled in the game of love, I played my part and lost, I'm now a wreck, upon life's sea, Alone I pay the cost CHORDS. You made me what I am to-day, I hope you're satisfied, You dragged and dragged me down until My soul within me died; YouVe shattered each and every dream, You fooled me from the start, And though you're not true, May God bless you, That's the ourse of an aching heart. 2d VERSE. The dreams I dreamed of future joys. You smiled on, though you knew, Deep down within your faithless heart, They never would oome true, Still further on you led me till My paradise I eaw, Then with one word You banished all my hopes for ever more.

At Rochester, Ind., we were hit about 5 r. m., and tore our big top into ribbons. We at once ordered a new top, and at Wakaransa it was torn up as bad as the first one. Now, when we see a small cloud In the West, the whole thing Is laid on the ground as we don't think we want to chance it again. But with the bad luck we have been en- couraged by record breaking crowds at each performance. Mr. Harmount has every rea- son to be proud of his ball team. They sure do play some baseball. A game every day, and the band seems to enjoy It as much as the players as they always arrange to march out with the boys. «»» I'A'l'SV H1.0X1HX ILL.
