Little ones In Court Dresses Appear IN
an Operetta.

Littie ones III court Dresses appear IN
an operetta.
A charming entertainment given at
Keefe hall last evening fairly captured the
large audience assembled to witness it. 1t
was an operetta given BY little folks under
the supervision of Mrs. M. NJ. Mason
The participants, with a single exception,
were little folks ranging in ages from two
and a half to ten years. The costumes
worn were in every instance superb. They
had all been made specially Tor the occa
sion. The little girls in their long trains,
warm %colors, flashing Jewels and powdered
hair presented as pretty a spectacle as one
could wish to see, and the audience at
times displayed the utmost enthusiasm.
The king was impersonated by Clarence
johnson and the queen by Ida Riner,
and their daughter, the princess, was
Gertrude Riner, a wee bit of humanity
only two and a half years old, who sus-
tanned the part with the most pleasing
gtace. The fairy was Marcia Cowhick,
Jack the Giant Killer Frank Hale and the
page Clarence Hammond. Evelyn Larsh
and Fannie Mast were the maids of honor.
The ladies in waiting consisted of May
Artist, Mile Myers, Evelyn Myers,
Mabel Halves, Flossie Chafin. Ruth
Hammond, Helen jeffrey, Abbie Will
Jams, Jennie, Marion and Fannie Young,
Elsie Jenkins and Flossic johnson. The
courtiers were Horace Jenkins, Walter
Larsh and Newton Williams. The giant
was H. w. Henderson, who in that as
sembly of little ones appeared to be about
| fourteen feet tall.
The stage was beautifully bedecked and
formed a gorgeous setting for as sweet a
bouquet of little children as were ever
gathered together in the city.
A children's matinee will be given in
Keefe's hall on Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock.

to influence for good the action of any
political party to which he belongs. 1t
is his duty to do all he can in his party
to put down bribery, corruption and
trickery; to see that none but compe-
tent, faithful and honest men, who will
unflinchingly stand by our industrial
interests, are nominated for all positions
of trust; and to have carried out the
principle which should always charac-
terize every grange member, that the
Office should seek the man, not the man
the office. I'VE acknowledge the broad
principle that difference of opinion is
no crime, and hold that progress
toward truth is made by difference of
opinion while the fault lies in bitter
ness of controversy We desire a
proper equality, equity and fairness,
protection for the weak, restraint upon
the strong; in short, justly distributed
burdens and justly distributed power.
These are American ideas, the very es-
sence of American independence, and
to advocate the contrary is unworthy
the sons and daughters of an American
republic. We cherish the belief that
sectionalism is, and of right should be,
dead and buried with the past; our
work is for the present and for the
future. In our agricultural brother
hood we shall recognize no North, no
South, no East, no West. "It is re-
served by every Patron, as the right of
freeman, to affiliate with any party
that will best carry out his principles"
