throughout the land Is familiar to play-goers.
1t is essentially story Of the country and
country folk and the scent of clover and the
sheen ofiyellow corn permeates it. 1t is full
of laughable episodes, and presents charac-
tiers whose prototypes may be seen at any
time In farm lands of New England. Abigail
Prue, spinster, adopts two waits who aid
her in relieving the mortgage from her farm
by means of her speedy colt, Cold Moasses,
who wins a race and secures a snug purse.
This episode naturally introduces great eff
feet viz, real horse race. which is accom-
piished by means of Neil Burgess patented
moving platforms. The other realistic items
will be well staged. and the lively husking bee,
with ali its singing and dancing, is promised
as feature.

ment of George w. kimball, jr. A passen-
ger coach will be attached to No. 81, leaving

AL G. Fields NItnstrels,

Al G. Fields minstrels played to fair
81 zed audience at the Opera House last Satur-
day evening. The show was highly satisfac-
tory in every respect and has been called the
best minstrel show seen here for several
years. The first part was Worlds fair
scene, representing the man ufacturer's build
ing, looking from the wooded island. The
singing was very good in the first part, and
some new songs were heard. The curtain
did not drop at all during the evening, the
performance being continuous. The Alveraz
family had novel musical act; Napier and
Marzella did clever act on the horizontal
Roman axe man, had q specially at once novel
and thrilling. These speeialties were inter-
spersed with dances, songs, banjo playing aud
funny business which made up an evening of
more than ordinary pleasure.

BACK TO BELLOWS FALLS.
The Old Green Mountain State Good
Enough After All.

The Old Green mountain state GOOD
Enough After All.
Henry E. Bowtell, who went to Califor-
mia last June, returned last Saturday. He
went from here to San Francisco, where he
was promised employment in a railroad Of
flee. The situation came all right, though
not just what he expected, but it did not last
long. When the business depression set in
many employees were discharged, the new
hands going first. Accordingly, Mr.. Bow
tell was soon out of job and for the past
six months has had only temporary employ
ment. This did not affect him so badly as it
did others, as many never saved cent and
when their employment was gone they had
no means for sustinence. Matters grew
worse, and the streets of San Francisco were
filled with thousands of unemployed, skilled
workmen who could earn from So to 81 a
day. All were anxious for work, and when
the city set gangs at work on the park at 81 a
day, there were ten times the applicants that
the Job required. They were given tickets,
each good for one days work, and then they
had to stand in line and wait for another
chance. Perhaps man would get in two
days week; perhaps only one day, and the
dollar SO earned was perhaps the only sup
port of family.
Mr.. Bowtel says that he never saw so
many people out of work before in any city.
Out there they lay it all to the tariff and sill
yer legislation, and be says that there isn't a
Democrat in the whole state. He finally con-
Guided to return to Vermont, much to the
delight of Mrs. Bowtell, who has been home
sick ever since she got there. Living there
is about 80 per cent higher than in the east,
small things being especially costly. Nothing
smaller than nickel is used, and bank notes
are seldom seen. Every one uses gold and
silver coin. Mr.. Bowtell has nothing definite
in view but says he was never more pleased
at anything in his life than when he arrived
at Bellows Falls. Still, he is not sorry he
went to California as his health is better and
he has gained % pounds In weight Besides
that, he has got over that uneasy feeling that
he might do better somewhere else.

AS the seasoned tramp and the green

a handsome, hospitable looking home
resting peacefully in the quiet shade.
"Git on 10 IT,, Cully," exclaimed the
green one, his eyes sparkling in anticipa-

we git a soft snap"
''Do we? You think we do, do your"

The same kind or economy which
would put two people in the same bed
to sleep, would, if carried far enough
require them to sit in The same chair
and eat from the same plate. In g
general way. each person should have
an entire bed. Two or three cingle beds
in the same room where that is ne.
cessity, are much better than putting
two OF three persons into one large bed
This is especially true where either per.
soii Is nervous. restless, or In imperfect
health from any cause. The slight
movement of another person is FIRE
quently sufficient to dispel approaching
slumber and induce long period OF
wakefulness. Settled insomnia frequently
owes its origin to this cause.
