Isee life, and permeated with the soft
southern atmosphere of its valleys,
described as ARomance of Coon Hol-
lCw," which has been one of the sub
stantial triumphs of the last six sea-

the magnificent scenic effects, among
which are g. realistic steamboat race

and cotton press in actual operation
But the play meets favor with thought

splendidly constructed, the characters
are flesh and blood beings, the plot is
very dramatic and interesting, and the
humor genuinely funny without being
farcTcal. A number of eXtrinsic feat
ures lend interest to the production.
The electrical effects, showing a night

He Chose the Widow.
Topeka Journal.l

Wichita, Kan.-The fact that Chas
Meng was threatened with breach OF
promise suit did not deter him from
marrying Mrs. H. j. Devaughan in
Wichita the other evening. Mrs. De-
vaughan was a wealthy widow, of Mt.
Hope, this county, and Meng was her
chief gardener Meng admits that
about three years ago he was engaged
to marry Miss Jessie Fisher, of lola,
Allen county. When the latter learned
that her former fiance was about to
marry the Widow Devaughan she took
the first train for Mt, Hope and plead
ed with Mrs. Devaughan to refuse to
marry Meng, adding, it is alleged, that
if she would do so she (Mlss Fisher)
could easily win him over.
The two women decided to leave it
to the man in the case. He chose the
widow. The three then boarded a
train for Wichita, the widow and Meng
to procure a marriage license and Miss
Fisher to consult an attorney. En-
route Miss Fisher again requested
Meng to marry her, and when he again
refused she created a scene on the
train and threatened to bring proceed
ings at once.
When the widow and Meng arrived
at the Court House the former became
somewhat alarmed and refused to be
married until County Attorney Ami
don assured her that Miss Fisher could
not involve her in any suit.

Some Observations,

A travelling salesman of one of the
wholesale firms of the city, thinking
he had a good joke, attempted to
spring it on one of the other employees
of the firm when he came in from
his route.
The story goes that a young lady
in the car was seen toremove her shoes
and turn her stocking and then again
put on her shoes.
Upon being asked the reason she an
swered that her feet were warm and
she thought that if she turned the hose
on them it would cool them off
When this particular drummer told
it he became mixed and said that she
answered that if she turned her stock
ings wrong side out it would cool her
feet
AS no one seemed to see the
point he was asked to explainbut could
not do it and some one else was called
upon to kindly explain the joke.
Certain Chicago doctors have come
to the conclusion that big brains go
with big bodies. 1t has long been
thought that in the matter of gray
matter it was quality and not quantity
that counted.
