QUICK OR THE DEAD ON THE STAGE
Miss Rives unpleasant story does not
contain single scene that would be ser
: yiceable on the stage. II does remotely
suggest a dramatic situation that might
be put to use if motive that could be
appreciated by any large number Of per-
sons could be assigned TO Barbara's &C.
tons. But the manufacturer of the play
under notice has done nothing at all to

sanitation, IS q severe test of faith For

just as somebody told the Arthur com
mission that be could raise jute butts in |
this country If he were protected against |
The Indian product. Just why we should |
divert labor TO the production Of iuie or |
tin plate for which we should have 20 /
pay riore than we pay now has not been
revealed except TO the protectionists Of

To those who have not read that racy
tale as published il the magazine it will
be needless at THIS late date 10 tell the
story.-N. i. Herald.
