AIexander's First Victory In Asia
The battle of the Ganicus, of which
Professor Wheeler gives vivid descrip-
ton in The Century, was remarkable
asshowing the military genius of Alex
ander the Great at an early point in
his career. 1t resulted in the crushing
defeat of the Persians, and had been
planned by Alexander in such way as
to leave the Greek mercenaries of Darius
practically out of the fight. When the
Persians had been driven from the field,
these mercenaries were rapidly disposed
of, such as were not slaughtered being
captured and sent home to slavery.
The percentage of losses on the win
ners' side was as small as in Spanish
American sea fight Alexander buried
the few fallen Macedonians with high
honors and exempted their parents and
children from the payment of taxes.
The wounded received his personal at
tention. HE went from one to the
other, looked at their wounds, inquired
particularly as to how they had been
received, and allowed them-what is
dear to soldiers heart. and especially
to that of the Greek soldier-'to tell
their tales and brag Of their deeds
Incidents like this, says Professor
Wheeler, "betray in striking way the
extent to which Alexander's leadership
and his empire were personal thing -

Ancient symbolism Of the Glove.


In the history of dress the position of
the glove is unique, There was a time
when the glove was an emblem of con-
fdence. Forming part of the regal
habit, it became a badge of rank. In the
middle ages the ceremony of investiture
in comforting dignities or bestowing
lands was consummated by the giving
Of glove. Likewise, the deprivation
of gloves was ceremony of degrade
ton.
Then, too, it was the custom to give
gloves in payment Of rent, the gloves
being accepted as guarantee of re-
tainer's service, which was the chief
condition of tenure On the Scotch
border the glove held high place as a
gage. Here glove borne on the point
of lance proclaimed an act of perfdy.
Biting the glove was sign of hostile
intent and the usual prelude to a
quarrel
Throughout the history of dress they
are found symbolical of pledges, cages,
gifts or favors Gloves also form part
of burial rites and were carried in flu
neral professions until the middle of the
eighteenth century When a maiden
died, it was the custom to place in the
center of the garland which was borne
on her coffin pair of white gloves-a
symbol of virginity and innocence. -

A wife and Her HUSBAND. Business

A Wife and Her Husbands Business
cit is cause Of amazement to me
that man can go on year in and yea1
out toiling for family whose members
show no interest in his work further
than to spend the money he makes and
who look upon him as the family mint, I"
writes Frances Evans In The Ladies'
Home Journal "My firm belief is that
had he in the first flush of married life
talked over his business and ambitions
with his wife she would have become
interested in both, first for his sake and
afterward for her own and their chill

tween man and woman united in
marriage when he never speaks at home

by any leading lady Of a repertoire com
pany that has played in the city. She
was ideal throughout, but in the third and
sixth acts she perhaps appeared to the
best advantage.
Mr.. Bennett, as Mephisto, is a wonder
full improvement over the Mephisto who
appeared here in Morrison. His work is
artistic and finished. His conception OF
the role is what Goethe really intended
smooth, sneering, dignified and most dew
ilish. The electrical appliances on his
person are very ingenious and Mr.. Ben
nett deserves all the praise that was ac-
corded him last night. The rest of the
cast especially Miss Capitola Marshall,
as Dame Martha, George Butler as Faust
and Mr.. James Kirkwood as Valentine,
all deserve special mention.

The Morey Stock company gave the
large audience that was at the Crawford
theater last night a genuine surprise in
their magnificent production of Faust"
Although theater .goers had reason to ex-
pect something good from the work done
In other plays that this company present
ed on previous nights this week But
they were not prepared for such an ex-
cellent production of Faust" which was
hardly expected in a popular priced rep
ertoire company. 1t is the first time that
such q thing had been attempted by a
repertoire company in Wichita. After
seeing last nights production by the Mo-
-ey company, one must admit that IN
many ways it was as good as Aorrison's
presentation and in some ways it really
excelled even Morrisou's production The

from any Of the others. In the first act

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Kansas City World: Those who have
studied Hoyt's plays, know that every
one of them depends almost entirely for
their success upon the people and the
specialties with which they are filled. 1t
may be that this fact is responsible for
the best "Trip to Chinatown" this city
has yet seen. There was a champagne
flavor about the whole performance Sun
day night, a sparkle and effervescence
which was positively exhilarating. There
was Harry Gilfoil, remembered as a
clever imitator and now a good come
dian. His limitations have improved with
his acting, and there seems to be no
limit to them As Wellang Strong, Mr..
Gilfoil get away from the traditions Of
the role, with the result that he improves
upon Harry Conor's Interpretation. After
all, though, the Widow is the essential
role, and in pretty Mable Montgomery
Mr. Wright has the most charming
widow yet seen in the role. She Is pref
tier than Anna Boyd, who created the
part; she puts more ginger into the Mrs
Guyer, and when she is on the stage
things go with a vim and dash that act
ually leaves the audience breathless. Her
'Chaperon" song and dance in the first
act is as daintily daring as her Quaker
dance with Mr.. Gilfoil in the second is
demure, and through it all she is de-
lghtfully charming. Eleanor Falk Is the
French maid. and she certainly intects
enough life and spirit into the role to
make it a winner. Her Sensible Girl
song was the most pronounced hit of the
show. Emile Gardner and Bertha HaIly
are pretty women. with good voices. Gus
Thomas and George Shields have pleas
ant voices and Frank c. Young is an
agile dancer. The scenic accessories are
pleasing and the entire production one
of merit.
