with very little wind; the neighbors all like it,

agreed to put up nine mills already, on which
can make nice profit, and there are many
others for whom i can put up mills this fall.

A Great Treat.

When "The Ensign" was presented
in New York its unusual merit some
what astonished the newspaper critics.
Its owners reversed the usual order of
things by presenting it in all the large
cities of the country before bringing it
out to New York. They did this because
they did not consider New York en-
dorsement necessary to it's success,
reasoning, doubtless, that the judge,
ment of play-goers in other cities was
fully as good as that of metropolitan
audiences and of infinitely more value,
for the reason that there have been too
many bogus "runs" and endorsements
of inferior plays in New York lately
so, many, in fact, that the play
goers now place very little confidence
in the inspired booming which is a
part of New York "run." The sue
cess of the Ensign" has been greater
than that of any recent American play,
and it has been won on its merits, its
novelty, its excellence, its superb stage
settings, its strong character drawings,
its patriotic fervor and the unusual
strength of the company. The New
York press was unanimous in its praise,
but only fell in line with the views ex-
pressed elsewhere. The World summed
it up asa thoroughly human play
and the Times referred to it as Zone OF
the most popular plays presented re-
Gently in New York. "The Ensign
