"LITTLE LORD FAUNTLERoY.n
"Little Lord Fauntleroy" is sched-
uled for the Grand Opera House for
two nights and a matinee, commeDe.
ing tonight. No play of recent years
has won so general and so continued
commenda ton from all kinds, classes
and conditions Of men, and the fact
that the company to whom its re-
presentation is entrusted Is sent out
by Mr.. T. III. French, and under his
own immediate management, is
guarantee sufficient that there will be
nothing lacking to the end Of giving
perfect performance. The character
of the little lord is played by two little
eight-year-old chIldren--Ad Fleming
and Arthur Berkeley who alternate
the role, and two more clever or more
capable children do not live.

4 GREAT OPPORTUNITY!
1913, 900 Acres Of Fine Land at
SI,25 per Acre.

l2sO0O acres of Land in Western Texas,
watered by two never failing rivers of pure
water, with living water in different places
on the tract. Railroad runs through the
land for 40 miles and has four stations
within its boundary. The land has an ele-
walton Of from 2,70O to $500 leet above sea
level and an average rain fall according to
the signal report for the last ten years of
24.2 inches per annum. The country Is of
limestone formation and is broken up into
hill, valley and table lands; produciI
mesquite and gramma grasses on which
stock thrive all the year round without
other food. Fifty miles of fence will en-
close the whole tract; the increase can be
easily counted from 20 to 90 per cent. Stock
can be shipped direct from the rancho, thus
avoiding long drives. A like amount of
land can be leased from the state for 10
years at the rate of 4 cents per acre per
annum, thereby making ranch of 296, $50
acres.
