PLAIN.

The Republicans of Garden Plain, assist
ed by many from the surrounding country,
held good meeting on Wednesday night
at Garden Plain. 1t was noticed that a
number of old time Republicans were
present, like George w. Kent, ST., Morris
Lloyd, Newton Flint, J. A Walker, A. ).
Marble, James Moran, William Moran,
Frank B. Walker and RoenbaCk and many
others. The meeting was presided over by
John w. Vanneman, one OF the staunch
Republicans of western Sedgwick county.
Mr.. Vanneman can always be depended on
in the campaign, and this year he is doing
wonderfully good work for the entire Re-
publican ticket. Billy Taylor was also
present, and number of ladies. The
meeting was addressed at great length by
two prominent Republicans of Wichita,
who discussed the national questions of
the hour.
The commodious school house Garden
Plain was filled by an attentive audience,
who gave the speakers close attention and
the meeting was most satisfactory to all
concerned.
Morris Lloyd of Garden Plain, an old
time Republican and the official commit
teeman of Garden Plain township, reports
matters in his township as being very
favorable for the Republican ticket.

Birds That Rival the Fox In Witness and
Cleverness.
Most animals are no match at all for
the ravens cleverness. There was
once a poor hare that allowed herself
to be completely bambooz,ed The
raven bounced at the leveret, as the
baby hare is called, but the mother
drove the rascal away.
But did the raven cease from troub-
ling? Not bit Of it. He slowly re-
treated, ENCOURAGE the hare to follow
him up and pretending even that he
was afraid of her. In this fashion he
led the unhappy mother to consider
able distance from her young one, and
then all OF sudden--long before the
hare had time to realize the danger Of
the trick-rose in the air. few swiftly
back, caught the leveret II his beak
and bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from q
cog. They leased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them from the
spot. But the wicked birds turned
sharply round, easily reached the dish
before him. and carried off the choicer
bits In triumph.
As TO the ravens power of speech,
the following story-which is given OF
the authority of Capt. Brown, who
vouches for its truth-win show how
aptly it can talk:

REALISTIC MELODRAMA.

Realism and sensationalisrn, writes
Lillian Lewis in the New York Sunday
Morning Journal. are as widely differ
ent as fact and bombast-and the same
difference exists between the melo-
drama Of the past and the melodrama
of the present. That the public il tired
of the namby-pamby, wishy-washy,
milk-aud-water class of plays is fact.
That the public has had enough Of the
so-called farce comedy is equally true.
1t is my firm conviction that the public
wants stirring and realistic plays.
With these facts as hypothesis. had
Lady Liz written and produced it
The realism of ''Dr. Jehyll and Mr..
Hyde" was morbid. The realism of
lola is vulgar. even filthy.
The realism of Lady Lii" is

nothing sensational, morbid. bomb astic
about Lady Lii" She is a woman
who had been deceived and betrayed by
man. No one can deny the fact that
there are women who have been be-
trayed by men. She Is a woman OF no
bic impulses, but human; perhaps Of
strong passion, but not vulgar. She
has story which many could cell.
Some say it requires daring 70 put
realism into play. To tell tho truth
requires courage.
Tell the truth in clean language; do
not resort to bombast or the impossible,
and the public will always accept the
story. The events of our time, and
especially Of the far past, tell tales Of
infamy and sorrow which have never
been equaled in the drama Why not

We have great writer in France,

it is realism He has taken for his
masterpieces vigorous stories. but never

of many which he has seen or known
