best writers OF the press .sas an important
revolution In dramatic workmanship, as
1t comes closer to the people, rejecting
their joys and sorrows, and is interesting.
because 1t is full of human nature. 1t
entertalnS every moment, it touches the
best emotions. and teaches more than one
lesson in life and more impressively
than the best sermon ever preached
The BROOKLYN Standard Union says OF it:
The plot Of the play, The Two Sisters
is as simple as that of The Old Home
stead but amply equal to the task
OF upholdIng weighty popular favor.
The success of play of this
kind does not depend upon its dramatic
surprises, its metaphysical studies or
even the rhetorical flights of its charac
ters. 1T obtains its need of warm recog
milton from its intense human interest.
The people in front of the curtain know
that dramas of the same type are being
enacted hourly in and around them. 1t
may be that they have participated in
such themselves. The throb of the pulse
OF the piece can be felt beating against
the swelling of their own hearts. The
touches of nature throughout make the
whole body of spectators akin with its
healthy motif. 1t seems like the life
story OF some near and dear neighbor, and
therefore obtains the affectionate interest
of an audience. This arises from the warm
humanity of the piece, and so the play
goes on, taking with it the attention, the
loveand the enthusiasm ofthe spectators
The st. Louis Republican adds these
words: 'it is simple story simply told
that is all-and while there is not q single
situation in it that might be called
startling climax, or scene that even sug-
gests strong emotional acting, there is
tender pathos about the whole structure
of the play proper that pene-
trates the very soul. There are characters
introduced who have little to do with the
action of the drama; they serve to pro-
long story that is too brief to be
told in four acts without introduce
ing tiresome lot of sentimental stuff
that would shadow what is really good,
and thus lose TO the public what is one
OF the most intensely interesting plots
that has yet been put on the stage from
an all-American standpoint Almost
every type OF a heterogeneous city life is
portrayed with a naturalness so striking
that 1t pleases because it is so common

A ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre in subdivisions of
40, so, 12O, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual 1nstallments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land offair average quality ut SO per acre,
anc good agricultural land at $40 an acre
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion Is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and eSpe-
cially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S10o an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy
of Accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry

For the bitter woe and heartache

And my heart was thine alone,
Now dark shadows fall around me,
Faith and hope and trust are gone;
Bitter was the rude awakening
keen the pain that filled my heart,
For thee now I've naught but friendship,
1t were better we should part.
Better that we now should sever
Every link in loves bright chain,
Ihat once bound our hearts together
That will bind them ne'er again;
mo you won my deep devotion
mo gave my love to thee,
We are parted, aye! forever,
by thy cruel treachery.
Dreams of bliss are mine no longer.
Love lies bleeding, mine the pain;
Time may heal the wound now smarting,

Ask me not again to love thee
Tell me not of deep regret.
Let our parting now be final
