strong, many a life has gone into eter-
nifty by the loss, at a critical moment
o. presence OF mind What It consists
of is an interesting study for the scien-
tist and student How to do the right
thing at the right time how to act in
emergency, how to avert trouble, pain
or death by following some known rule,
are all that presence Of mind consist
OF. To acquire this rare gift is what
bothers most people, but it is an undis-
puted fact that the best way Is to see
what others say or do in an emergency.
That is what, it is claimed makes a
drama like Caught in the Web" es-
pecially valuable, for in it the hero and
herione act ON the spur of the moment,
and say and do the right thing. The
company presenting the great four act
detective play at the Opera House next
Monday afternoon and night is an ex-
cellent one and all who see it will en-
JOY it.

provided a complete outfit Of elaborate
scenery and costumes for the produc-
tion, which comes to the Opera House
