WE WATCHED HER BREATHING.


We watched her breathing through the
night
Her breathing soft and low
As In her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To exc her living out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We.thought her dying when she slept;
And sleeping when she died
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

shenandoah.

The reason Shenandoah" will
draw crowded house at the Opera
House, Wednesday night, October 20,
is that it's every line and situation is
full of real human interest. It's story,
while not being dramatically "pow-
erful," is one that thrills every be-
holder. There is nothing so stirring
to the blood, nothing that SO arouses
the average man as the sound of mar
tial m usic, the boom of cannon, and
the rattle of musketry. Thus, when
we see our boys in blue retreating
with broken ranks across the valley
of the Shenandoah, and Sheridan
twenty miles away, who is there
among us that does not feel like
springing from his seat and crying,
"FCharge boys, charge! On, comrades,
on!' and rush into the fray as the
gallant Colonel West rushed in, with
his wounds yet unhealed and his
strength not yet returned? A man is
not half man who does not feel the
warfare rise high within him when
he witnesses scene like that. TITS
then we emerge from the convention
al lethargy Of our day and feel akin
to heroes; feel that for our country
we would do and dare and die.

Realism on the stage is the order of

of perfection in the blizzard scene as
depicted in the five act drama, the
"Hand of Fate" The scene repre-
sents lonely hut on the trackless
prairie of Kansas near a railroad sta
ton. The sky is overcast, the omi-
nous moan Of the wintry wind is
heard, denoting the approach of a
blizzard, a few scattered flakes Of
snow are falling. Suddenly, in the
very sight of the audience, the scene
changes as if touched with magic
wand. The landscape is covered as
with a snowy mantle and the stage
is enveloped with binding clouds of
the flaky crystals eddying before the
wintry blast.-Herdld.
