In common with the men Of their
race the Boer women retain the simple
and conservative ways of their father
land, staid old Holland. AS their lives
are passed in faraway and isolated
country doubtless they are more tena
cious of the old customs and habits
than their sisters in the land Of dikes
and windmills. But with all that has
been written and said detrimental to
the descendants of a race of people
strong and brave enough to struggle
against nature and wrench from the
very arms of the sea home such as
their persistency has made of Holland

The exigencies of the present war in
South Africa reveal the true charac-

the Boer women and their political as

Evil Eye Is something like a circus with
three rings. There Is so much going on
all the time that II requires two very
good eyes to keep up with the game, In
plain but lucid phrase The EVIL Eye Is
great, big, attractive show, easily the
newest and best that has ever been
brought here. II r. Kaleidoscope me-
lange Of comedy, melodrama, pantomime,
buriesquc. opera, ballet and vaudeville.
II tells the story of Evil Eye, who muir

Mrs. S. s. Smith, a wealthy colored

O'Clock while visiting Mrs. Marie Thomp-

was unconscious when found. Physicians
and trained nurses worked with her for
several hours, and expressed the opin-

marks she made and letter addressed
to II. Harris. Tacoma, 1t is thought that
unrequited love caused the attempt at
self murder.
Mrs. Smith came to Seattle from Chi
cago about three months ago. Since then
she has spent a portion of her time In
both Seattle and Tacoma. Last Monday
she visited the latter city, returning yes
terday. In the afternoon she called upon
Mrs. Thompson. with whom she became
acquainted some time ago. That some
thing was troubling Mrs. Smith was evil

She asked for a sheet of paper and

talking again against such a course.
