TOR HER SAKE"
At the D-rris Theater Xmas Matinee
 and Night.

What the Denver Post has to say regarding this attraction:
 Last night ehe Denver was packed to the doors to witness the first pro- duotion of Rusco and Hollands play dealing with the life in Russia and Si- beria, which is in four acts. The play is handsomely staged and presented by a competent company. Never in the history of the Denver has the audience showed so much enthusiasm as it did last night during the presentation of For Her Sako.' The real secret of the success, however, is the clever sim plicity and truthfulness of the charac- ter dTawi7e-. This, with the sumptu- ous settings of the piece and the gran deur and beauty of the story, combine to make of the play a work which at once takes rank with any Russian play yet written. A scene showing the road to Siberia is full of interest and thrill ing effect. A ballroom. scene affords an accurate reproduction of life among the Russian nobility. Irwin Blankau as the Prince looked and acted the part in capable way that won him mary new admirers and presaged a bright future as a leading man. Alexander Randolph as Griegerievitch gave a strong and forceful portrayal of the part, while Joseph Fox was admira ble as General Gruffentoff. Oscar Ora ham in the dual role of Ivan and Nich- cleft was excellent. cnly that he tried to pose too much. Lillian Atwood as l~,,1 .l..- and deserves great credit, while Dor othy La CroiX. Julia West Fox Ida May Blake and John Sommers did clever work. The other parts were in keeping with the play. The company is all around the best that has p'ayed at the Denver this season. The usual matinees will be given with the ev.n- ing performances the balance Of the

and sat on the doorstep and in an alb

with the stone he had bought. 1t was
five minutes before Mrs. Gallup volun-
teered an explanation When she saw
that he had neither anxiety nor SYM
pathy, she hitched her chair into the
doorway, used fresh spot on the
apron to wipe her eyes and finally, seid.
Samuel, when you've got that sickle

drew it back and forth across the
blade.

Mr.. Gallup had paused in his labors

a cherry tree.

{Copyright. 1900, by c. B. Lewis)
When Mr.. Bowser reached home the
other evening, dinner was ten minutes
late. This was such an unprecedented
thing shat he looked at Mrs. Bowser
for al explanation, and she proceeded
TO say:
.sycu see, the butcher was a little
late in sending the steak, but it nay

Late. was he?" groWled Mr.. Bowser
as the blood few 10 his face What
time did Won order that steak2"
AT 3 O'clock.
And, having three hours in which
to ill your order the butcher was ten
inmates late, This is a matter to be
inquired into If that butcher thinks
he can play fast and loose with me, I'll
sa,s.y alm that hes greatly mistaken
lie was. probably off at a ball game or
d horse race, and he didn't care wheth-
err his customers had dinner or no..
II don't think it VIII happen again"
said Mrs Bowser in a voice calculated
to soothe, and just then dinner was
announced.
Ruring The meal she sought to divert
Mr.. Bowser's mind from the butchers
slip. but the more he thought of it the
naddeT he got 1t was also unfortu-
nate that the bakers boy had been late
with the bread and that they mad to
economic with the butter because the
dairyman hadn't got around.

set of cups and sassers last US since
we was married. That's all. Samuel,
and now I'll 50 IN and die, and you kin
bo lookin around fur your second
wlfe."
She rose up with sob and retreated
into the house, but Mr.. Gallup knew
nothing OF it. He hung the sickle On
q nail near the door, put the milestone
and lacks on a shelf in the wood shed,
and then walked down the path and
closed the henhouse door and cast
lock into the pig pen. When he re-
turned to the house, Mrs. Gallup was
looking at her bowl of emptings under
the stove and humming the air OF Il
Want to Be an Angel" She had had
her lamentation and got over it. and it
would be three or four days before she
would break out again.
