The new Pike Street theater opened last
evening under the most suspicious eircum-
stances. and the residents of the northern
end OF the city demonstrated that they
feel pardonable pride in the possession
of a comfortable theater all their own, by
turning out and filling every seat in the
house and giving encouragement by liberal
applause to the efforts of the stock COM
pany with which the venture starts off.
The opening piece was. and for the cur
rent week will be, d Ennerys fine old play,
The Two Orphans. piece which brought
into dramatic prominence Kate Ciaxton
and which earned fortune for her. There
is nothing in THE Two Orphans that is
not as good today as it was twenty years
ago. when the piece had its greatest vogue
IL is picture of the time of powder and
patches, of high-heeled boots and wigs,
OF intrigue and court scandal of the France
of hundred years ago.
Nobody expected a better performance
than was given last night, and after the
first show of newness 10 the surroundings
the company fell properly into the business
and lines of the several strong parts and
gave them an effective rendering. The bur-
den of the Interpretation falls on the Shout
ders OF Mr. Chapman in the dual role OF
ChevaIier de Vaudrey and Pierre, Miss
Warre,r and Miss de Vosse as Henrietta
and Louise, Mr.. Hayes as Jacques, Mr.
Lambert as La Frochard, Miss Levine as
the Countess de Linnieres, and Mr.. Sedey
as Picard. The characters were generally
well sustained and the performance was an
even one. The scenery and stage settings
were ample to the needs Of the piece and
the costuming was good.
The Pike Street theater starts as an
amusement enterprise that has substan-
tial clientele to draw upon, and IL the
standard of merit adopted at the opening
is maintained there Is little doubt of its
success. There was some confusion caused
by the unfaml;arity with the seating of
the house by the ushers. and few petty
annoyances that are inseparable from the
opening of a theater, but on the whole the
audience was satisfied with the good show
ing made.

THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.

their general health is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine

MADE A FORTUNE IN WHEAT.
Joseph Letter Surprises the Smart Set
in Chicago Society.

One Of the men who, as the brokers
put it, have made a killing in wheat
this summer is Joseph Letter, son of
Levi z. Letter, the Chicago dry goods
magnate. Young Mr.. Letter is credited
with having caught the wheat boom
when it was rising, playing the bull
side of the market like a veteran
plunger until now it is estimated that
he is more than 100000 to the good.
Up to last spring young Mr.. Letter
had been known simply as zone of the
Letter boys" In society circles he had
done a little something to gain an in
div10uality of his own. He had led a
few cotillons and had attracted atten-
ton by his varied and well selected
wardrobe. He had taken an active part
in social affairs and was counted one
OF the gayest of the younger and ex-
elusive set, but no one ever suspected
that he would ever accumulate any
money except by inheritance.
1t Was with some incredulity that
the bulls and bears of the Chicago
board of trade heard that the elegant
young Mr.. Letter was seriously deal
ing in wheat. They laughed pleas
antly when they heard, early in the
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1897-12-13

summer, that his September line had
been sold short and that he had begun
with losing venture. Wheat was at
rs then, but before it touched so the
young operator was back on the bull
side and determined to stay there.
1t is not to be supposed for an in
slant that Mr.. Letter mingled with the
frantic mob IN the wheat pit. The
nearest he ever came to the turmoil
was when he met his business mentor
and confidential agent, George French
who in turn invested the Letter money
through the medium of half dozel
hard worked brokers who didn't mind
shouting themselves hoarse and get
ting all rumpled up as long as they
were paid for it.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be IN
durable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure With
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci.
ence has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured

waters OF Lethe.

1t is a dangerous thing to tamper
with the self-esteem of a young woman.
If YOU hurt a mans pride, he will
probably go off and sulk for a greater
or less time; or it may be, if the case
is very bad, he will even kill himself.
But a woman will have revenge. You
may think she has forgotten, you may
fancy she is impotent, but there is
this much of the Oriental in every
Woman-that she can wait. Break her
heart and she will still let it. lie in the
dust for you to trample upon, and she
will find the pain pleasant; yet beware
how you so much as scratch her pride;
from the wound will trickle a stream
of poison, that may flow slowly but
will reach you in the end.
James Dudley's case went to- prove
this. Very few knew why he came
to the end he did, but this was the
way of it:
When he was very young and just
out from the Point he was sent to a
post miles from anywhere, and there
he became engaged to marry the a.
year-old daughter of Maj. GOrschkov.
She was beautiful beyond the dreams
of art-far too gorgeous for mere
child. She should have been histori-
cal. Such as Semiramis or the queen
of Sheba, of Zenobia must have been,
she was; therefore, it was natural
enough that Dudley should have
thought himself in love with her. But
he was a clever fellow, with very
fair share of brains, and she was an
average child who was not old enough
to return his love, but was nightly
pleased in am innocent fashion at the
Importance the engagement gave her :.
At the end of a year, Dudley was
ordered away Absence opened his
eyes to the fact that beauty alone was
not enough to make him happy in his
wife. And he wrote to Esther and
asked her to release him, and to her
parents he sent an explanation of his
conduct The mail orderly put both
letters into Esther's hands She read
her own first. She was sixteen years
old now, and very proud. She had
also grown to care in a vague sort OF
way, for the memory of the lover OF
her childhood. The letter cut her
through the Russian down to the
Tartar, and she hated the man who
she chose to think had humbled her
She tore it and the one to her father
into small pieces. There was one
sentence in the former she did not I'm
derstand. The lieutenant had said
"In time you will drink of the waters
of Lethe, and forget me as utterly as
deserve to be forgotten"
A few days later she told her fathel
that she was not going to marry Jane:
Dudley.
Does he know it?" asked the major
Eyes"
What is your reason?"
Nothing in particular. I simpl.
don't want to-"
Perhaps that won't satisfy him
However. it, is just as we'll. I nevel
supposed a childish affair of the sorr
would amount to much. You are ole
enough to act for yourself now"
In truth. Major Gorschkov had am
billions that scared above~a mere lieu
tenant for his superb daughter
Esther was thankful to escape SO east
ly. Presently she asked. Papa
what does it mean to drink of the wa
ters Of L-e-t-h-e?"

GREEN-APPLE TIME.

The small boy gazeth at the tree,
Where. en- a swaying limb,
The apple hangeth, small and green,
And, oh, it tempteth him.
Forgotten are his mothers words
Of warning against sin;
He shieth first some rocks at it,
Then up the tree Doth shin.
He reacheth finally the bough,
And reacheth for the fruit.
1t taketh the small boy, indeed,
An apple tree to loot.
He eateth it, seed, core and all,
Without bit of fear.
And doth it hurt him? Not bit!
He doth it every year.
