The Leader Poets Opinion Of That
Uncle Toms Cabin Fake.


Uncle Toms Cabin Fake.
Last Monday evening the town
of Athena was the recipient of a
dramatic barbecue consisting of
the embalmed and me-honered
corpse of the once popular play of
"Uncle Toms Cabin" served up
with the variations by Loyd's Big
Pavilion Co., under tent.
I am sorry to say | was one of a
large audience Of suckers who sa.
fortwo long hours on one by six cir
Gus seats, listening with briny
tears in my eyes to shouts of "Pop-
corn and peanutsp Lemonade, five
a glassl" mingled with the idiotic
jargon of an Uncle Tom, a st. Clair
Marks and Simon LaGree who
would have looked very natural
tramping ties on section or repos-
ing serenely on the break beam Of
furniture car.
We have local talent here at
home which would knock the eter-
nal socks off this side show. There
is Barney Prime for instance; he
could enact the parts of Simon La
Gree, Phineas or one of the blood
hounds to perfection. Fred Boyd
as Little Eva would make great
hit especially in the tableaux. Bill
Fletcher as Aunt Chloe, Lew Shaw
as Uncle Tom, Charley Pierce as
Marks, p. A. Worthington as Topsy
and any Umatilla county farmer
as Mr.. Shelby, the bankrupt plant
or, would make fine combination,
while we could pick up dozen
Mary st. Clairs in Weston. Morris
Johns could sell peanuts and lem
onade, and we might work in Uncle
Dick Powers and his dog ''Hobo"
in the street parade. Any of the
audience who witnessed the Lloyd
Company's performance would be
willing to take the part of the don
key, which was advertised but never
came.
It was an inspiring sight to see
little Evangy, after the death-bed
scene, fitting around among the
crowd to sell her photos, fully res
urrected, and none the worse for
her short sojourn in the realms Of
eternal bliss. After she had worked
the audience to finish, with what
cheerful submission to the divine
will she returned to the aforesaid
realms, and stood on that steplad-
der with folded hands and eight
ounce canvass wings, and smiled
at the peanut boy through the DOR
mer window of the New Jersua-
lem!
The whole play was a sort of
cross between burlesque and
gargling oil entertainment. 1t re-
minded me Of the private theatri-
calls given by The Great Transcon-
tinental Can Gang at their annual
reunion at The Union stock yards
Of Kansas City.

A Tramn,s Last Ride.

Persons at the Pendleton depot

the horribly mutilated remains of
J. d. Hunt, a tramp who met death
at Umatilla meath the trucks
while attempting to board the
break.beam. He was put on the
east bound train and died in the
baggage car between Pendleton and

to pulp, and his breast and body
bruised and lacerated in a terrible
manner.

Your Physical Condition.

Needs attention at this time. If
you are tired, weak and nervous,
it is ear that your b ood is inn
pure, and without doubt there has
been too much over-work or strain
on brain or body. The course Of
treatment forsuch condition is
p ain and simple. The b ood must
first be purified SO that the nervous
system, and in fact a the organs
wi be fed upon pure blood. In
teigent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier and nerve tonic is Hoods
Sarsaparia. y

The WestTille (Simpson County

pointers that it wcu'd be well for

but seldom takes hand in the
support of any particular candidate
except when the occasion arises to
draw line between honesty and
corruption. 1t sometimes requires
the toss of a nickel to decide how
to cast vote when half dozen or
more friends are aspirants for the
same local office. We adopt this
policy in fairness to all, realizing
the fact that the influence even of
a modest country paper counts for
netting. and that if possible it
should give an equal chance to all
worthy and well,qual;tied candi-
dates irrespective of personal pref,

however, our course is somewhat
different-we generally take a
