wanted the Earth.

John billions new play, which will be
seen at the Rhode Saturday, May 4, is
from the pen of the we'll known author
actor, Mr.. Gus. j. Heege, of Ole Olson
and Yon Yonson fame.
Wanted the Earth" is a satirical
comedy of decided merit, and one adj
miIably adapted to the particular abili
ties of Mr.. Dillon. 1t is difficult to
classify the play, as it is at times some
what farcical in its nature, and yet at
all times decidedly above the conVen-
tional skits, as to dialogue, situations
and plot.
The characters include j. d. Smith,
New Jersey farmer (Mr. Dillon), who
" strikes OIL" and becomes immensely
wealthy, and afterwards appears in
New York as Jason DeSmythe, an in
veterate Wall Street speculator, and a
striking product of forced aristocracy.
He has to do with all the fads of his
set, even to the learning of French,
which task is as difficult to Mr.. De-
Smythe as it is amusing TO his friends.
He is beset by an afternoon morning
glory in the person of Mrs. Major Van
Doodle, who finally by threats of breach
of promise suits, gains DeSmythes
consent to marry her. Meanwhile all
his fond hopes of his son have been
blasted by sudden elopement with a
former servant of the Smith farm.
Matters are brought to crisis in the
Queens restaurant at Niagara Falls,
which restaurant is under the manage
ment of the young clipping couple.
Here the parties to the play meet I'M
eXpectedly and former complications
give way to reconciliations,
There is commendable and delight
full absence of hackneyed jokes and
other features so often worn thread
bare in plays of this order. Mr.. Dill
Ions impersonation of DeSmythe is
pronounced by many to be the master
piece of the great artists life work.

IT Cost Him the Cigars.

Hello, where'd you get that mare?"
prOpounded Tom Pease of Farmer John
Burton, as the latter got out of his
buggy to tie his horse yesterday.
" Raised her from a coit," sententi-
ously replied the othe".
"Git out. You amt had that horse
a month.
"Mebby you know my business bet
ter n l do myself, 3" replied Burton test
lily, as he gave the hitching strap an
extra pull.
:" l know darned we'll that you amt
driven that horse a month";" persisted
Jim shifting his guild to the left cheek.
"Pll bet the cigars that I've driven
this nag into this town twice a week
for eight years. Now if you know
better n that there is chance for an
argument"
9TH go you," replied the other.
" The mare you've been driving had
the heaves so bad that she bowed like
blacksmiths bellows"
Then the farmer smole a knowing
smile and told his doubling fl en- how
a couple OF packages of Dr.. Weare's
Sure Cure for Heaves had knocked the
spots out Of the heaves and left the
mare we'll and sound as she was when
a colt Then Jim bought the cigars
and never made a murmur.

A WREATH OF YESTERDAYS

I made wreath of yesterdays
A garland all for me-
And hung it where sweet breezes blow
From lands of memory.
A summers sunset stealing back,
A golden glory falls,
And once again, as long ago,
My throbbing heart inthralls.
The tinted leaves of forest trees
Once more seem to see
Where shadows with the sunlight b1ent
In woven tracery.
And there, all from the world apart,
dreamed the hours away
Not empty, idle dreams, that melt
AS mist before midday,
But from the world worn histories
Heroic annals drew,
And with them wove some future hope
My soul should bravely do.
Not wholly lost, the fair, sweet dreams,
Nor lacking golden fruit.
Strong hearts know best when to protest
Or patiently be mute,
And know that sin Or sorrow comes,
Or joy unto our lives,
And each, as seeks the plant the light,
For the true purpose strives.
Oh, garland made Of yesterdays,
You are so dear to mel
I'll keep you where sweet breezes blow
From lands of memory.

Leonard Maurer has not seen his
brother John in thirty nine year. He
had been lost track of altogether, and
Leonard did not know but that he had
long since died. Thursday he received
a letter from John saying that he was
at the Soldiers home in Milwaukee.
The receipt Of the letter was the source
Of great excitement and Joy to Leon
ard. He resolved at once to go to his
brother and meet him after their long
separation. His JOY and expectation
were so great that it was with difficulty
he was prevented from going at once
upon receipt of the letter. He went
this morning, and it is perfectly safe to
say that it has been long time since a
happier day has been spent by him.
The question has arisen as to the
necessity for another school building.
| Our present school buildings are great
" overcroWded 1t is with difficulty
that the school board is able to provide
room for all the attendants That a
new school building will have to be put
up no one conversant at all with the
facts can deny. One should be put
into the large district out on Prairie
avenue to the west of the tracks.
There is a very large district out that
way which has no school The nearest
one is the Durkee school and that is in
no position to be fed comfortably from
that large west portion of the city, in
Guiding all that west settlement be-
tween Grand avenue and Brassville.
Prairie avenue would furnish very
central location.
