ties. The high standing of the CALI

YIN tow OF a well known local card
sharp, who proposed friendly
drink in near by saloon. Then a
game OF cards was proposed. The
countryman consl nted. Soon the
two new acluaintances were seated
together trying Lor each others
money. In order to bait the man,
the card sharp let him win a hand
occasionally and in the course OF an
hours play, the countryman' s win
nings amounted to several dollars.
The sharper noticed that when the
countryman lost, he paid his bet out
of his right hand trousers pocket,
but when he won. the money went
into The other pocket. Finally the
couutryman said he was broke and
the game ended. He had lost about
$500, and the sharper, to do the
right thing, called him up to the
bar and ordered a bottle OF cham
payne. lie threw out one of the
newly won SO bills and TO his as
tonishment it was returned as coun-
terfeit. He tried others with the
same result, and then he tumbled to
the game. The countryman pulled

THE PROD1GAL FATHER.

There u nothing conventional about
that funny farce "rhe ProGg1l Father"

forward, but it deals with every day com.
plications in such novel, breezy way
that one Is kept in Il state Of perpetual
surprise. You never know what is going
to happen and you cannot say to yourself;
"Oh yes, now the girl will come in and
catch them or "tte old man will got into
rage" or "hs wife will discover ALL
No, sir. "What Is the nse of plot I'M
less there are some unexpected complica-
tions?" asks Mr.. Welchar and the public
echoes "What2" The plot does not over
shadow the humor, tho music and the
dancing however. 1t is recognized that
the people go to a farce comedy to DO

with catchy. haunting melodies and
dances that bowilder one, and leave do

Natal, and was still in progress at
latest accounts, Glencoe Camp, in
North Natal. was threatened, while
several Boer commands were
maching toward mountains to the

that she fears Continental complica-
tons.

cables that the report probably is
true that the Beers are making a
demonstration at Greytown, only
sixty miles from Burban, the British
base OF operations.
The Beers opposite Glenoe
Camp are having there force streng-
thened, and many try 10 reach
D~ndee from the southeast.

are bringing up heavier guns to
renew the attack.
Casualties are reported from
