Mr. ST. John, who was a member of

lawyer, killed his wife at Oklahoma
City year ago. and, it is said, died
just before the time fixed for his trial.

How much would you give for a
farm located thousand miles from a
railroad, a wagon road. and every
other means Of communication with
the rest OF the world9
How much would you give for a
farm within four miles of a railroad,
and the wagon roads for those four
miles filled with mud, stones, sand
and trying gradess
And wouldn't you give more for
that farm if the roads to town or to
the several market points were hard
and smooth and level, so that We
hicles of all kinds, including bicycles,
would happily convey many people to
and fro, and so you could market the
farm produce quickly and cheaply.
The value Of farm depencs al
most wholly on the railroads and
wagon roads about it.
Good roads are worth more to the
farmer than to any one else. The
more easily, aud quickly and pleas
antly he can get to and from his farm
the more it is worth an acre.
The distance to market depends on
the character of the roads. Good
Roads.

It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor Is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys. and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bltters improve the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried il as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

scenes and types of character it is sup
posed to reflect can never be a really
great play. The country that is most
ridiculously misrepresented on the mod
ern stage is Russia, and yet Russia is
land that teens with legitimate material
for the dramatist. At present our play
wrights have almost exclusively con fined
themselves TO melodrama when they deal
with Russian scenes, and they do it on
the principle that in melodrama a writer
is not expected to be true to any kind of
life.
''In the Name of the Gar" at the
Grand, is one of those familiar dramas of
Russian life which no more reflect the hab-
its and customs of Russia than they do
those of Assyria or ancient Nineveh, but
it has all the outward and visible marks
by which you can infallibly identity Russia
as it exists in the roseate Imagination of
the American dramatist. as u ual there
are anarchists who reside in ''dens, where
they concoct nefarious plots againsta all that
is good and virtuous; every stray police
official is an autocrat, which is the more
to be regretted, as he is mentally unfit to
occupy the hum blest Office of trust. The
hero can always foil him and his mlnions
without the least difficulty. In the mat
ter OF vlllainy it is a toss-up between the
Government officials and the anarchists,
who may be said to represent the devil
and the deep sea. the heroic characters
being placed between the two "In the
Name of the Gear" is an exciting melo-
drama. but its action might just as well
pass in ancient Kor as in Russia.
La Loie Fuller is said to have invented
the serpen!ine dance. but none of the evo-
lutions of her art have been so utterly,
completely and entirely serpentine as the
road she is taking to China. After having
been wished "bon voyage" by her friends
and admirers in the East La Loie reaches

Hall Gaines weird novel, 1.-The Bond
man." supplied the story for 1.-THE Land
Of the Midnight Sum-" the play which
will be produces at Morosco's tomorrow.
1.-The Land of the Midnight Sun" was
made into melodrama by Edwin Bar
bour, whose dramatization of ''She" was
recently given at the Grand. It is said to
be full of surprising situations, the most
novel of which. perhaps, is in the fourth
act. There Jason Orry, an lcelandfc
giant, meets mis- hall brother, whom he
has been taught from infancy to hate. At
the time OF recognition the younger brother
is in deadly peril. The older brother sup
presses the hatred of lifetime and saves
the man he has sworn to kill, an oppor-
tune explosion of Mount Skapta sending
up column of fire that stops pursuit.
A feature of the performance will be the
temperance of John ]. Pearson, who
few years ago was one of the most hated
of the villains at the Grand Opera-house.

Bernhardt's Dream.

Sara Bernhard has been crowned and
feted and fused over recently, as never
actress was feted before, but her great
dream has been to obtain the cross OF the
Legion of Honor, and without it she can
never be truly happy-at least so she be-
lieves.
President Faure was most persist
entity urged to give Sara the cross at the
time of her rec mt arrival in Paris, but he
paused, hesitated and then quietly re-
fused, insinuating that he might bestow
the cross later. Bernhardt's friends de-
clare that there is cabal against her, but
calm onlookers say that the President
does not dare to establish the precedent OF
giving the cross of the Legion of Honor to
an actress.
