they would be free from all fear Of
prosecution from the British. Although
a great many years have come and
gone since the poor. simple-hearted

present French inhabitants i'm many
aspects are as simple and as innocent

gagged in collecting material for a book

the article to a translation bureau. In
due time the translation was handed TO

Theater goers of Butte will be pleas
ed to learn that the popular Frawley
company will be at the Grand all this

company has just completed a season
of 20 weeks at the Baldwin and Col

one or two OF them were so strong
and in such demand that Mr.. Frawley
could not adhere to his determination
10 present a different. play each week.
His repertoire comprises My the big

these plays are only of the very high

and general entertaining qualities.
Those who remember. the former visit
of the Frawley company will recall
pleasantly the charm Of completeness

this company was produced. IL is only
