that man has to work harder there

One of the most valuable exchanges

Democrat, published at Topeka. by
the Kansas Democrat Publishing Com
pany.
The Democrat is six column, eight
page daily paper, and frst-class in
every respect. It's location at the state
capitol eua 5les it to present the latest
political news to its readers. Its tele-
graphic service is admirable. Mo- per-
son Who wishes to be thoroughly ID
formed on Kansas politics should be
without the Democrat.
The weekly Democrat is same size
a. daily, making forty-eigbt columns
almost entirely solid reading matter,
and just the paper for those who do
not find it convenient to take the daily.
This most excellent paper will be
mailed tn any address on the following

A newspaper fight is neither elevat-

man ought to keep out of it. An en-
counter with kicking mule, balky
horse, OR vicious canine are the
same way-and man ought to avoid
these things also. But there are times
when a fellow is forced into ali these
things by circumstances over which he
has no control, and If he has any
spirit at all he will conquer the OBJ

Lothrop's Providence Museum.

No more popular drama ever emanated
from the pen OF the prolific author,
Charles Gayler, than the sensational dra-
matization of life in New York, entitled
Lights and Shadows" which is to be pre-
sented at Lothrop's Providence Museum
the week of Dec. Ia. The play is an excel
lent example Of the modern realistic
school, and one of the most novel plays
seen In this vicinity for years. The plot
is not uninteresting, the incidents are
sufficiently dramatic to satisfy the most
exacting, and the scenic effects are most
ingenious and artistic. The opening
scenes, and in fact the whole of the first
act merely serve to introduce the principal
character and to lay the foundations OF
the melodramatic situations which are
later disclosed. Mark Milburn, the hero,
is ruined by the treachery OF his uncle,
who commits suicide upon the detection
of his crime. Mark loves Edith Boughton,
who has been abducted and raised by
cruel woman by the name of NJ lot her Meg.
She Is known as Mabel Bland, an artists
model, and her identify is only discovered
by accident while she is endeavoring to
escape from her abductors. She is retaken
and is tracked to Mother Meg's den by
Mark. The cast is good one, and each
member fills his part very aoceptably.
Miss Ethel Tucker appears as Mabel
Bland; j. Francis Kirk as Mark Milburn; !;
and Miss Frances Newhall as Mother
Meg. Supplementary to the drama Thomas
and Watson introduce funny farce COM
