A GOOD LAUGH.

The "American Girl" was the at
traction at the opera house Saturday
night and was enjoyed immensely by
the large audience present.
Those who saw this comedy the last
time it was here know what a first
class comedian Geo. f. Hall is and
Saturday night he fairly surpassed
himself.
His acting was beyond criticism and
his singing received the well merited
encores always given when appreciat-
ed. Miss frankie St. John as Twist
er, is very clever actress and her
dancing fairly captured the house,
while the two little tots little Lille
Lawson and Oracle Hickey received
their share of the applause for their
acting, singing and dancing.
The play itself was very good plot
which held the attention of the audi
ence throughout.
They left for Montpelier on the II
o'clock train, where they appear to-
night.

THOSE BOYS.

EDITOR THE TELEGRAM: - You
were SO good to allow me consider
able space in your paper for commu-
nication concerning our boys, may l
ask your indulgence for few words
supplementary to what l then said?
The article by Rev. Ellie X. M.
Jones attracted my attention, as ! am
sure it did every thoughtful person in
the city. 1t is great thing, when
we see that an evil is abroad among
us, to be able also to see the remedy.
My former letter called attention to
crying evil. | want just here to add
word to what SAID then. The laws
of our state do not make itcompulsory
for our boys to attend school after they
are IA years of age. And most of the
parents feel that, if they keep their
boys IN school up to that age, they are
absolved from further obligation in
that direction. If possible they will
have the boys 60 to work, but If there
be no work for them. they are bound
to chang out" on the streets.
And SO, for the most critical period
of a boys life, he is brought under
the direct influence Of the street, and
in continual contact with those who
are poisoning his life. In this way,
instead of contributing better class
of citizens to the generation Ito follow,
we are perpetuating class that will
never be credit to the city. 1t is
possible that there are parents who
do not take such serious view of
this question, and will not allow them.
selves to become greatly interested in
the matter of providing something
better for the boys. But it is difficult
to conceive of any parent who will not
be interested when he secs his boy
actually getting the benefit of some
such provision for him.
Mrs. Jones in her article assures us
that the remedy is close at hand.
For this we all rejoice, and am sure,
from what has been said to me during
the past week, that the good citizens
of this progressive city will rally to
the support of the movement set on
foot by the Woman's Christian TEN.
perance Union. "lt is good thing,
push it along"
Yours for the boys,
EDWARD NJ. FULLER.

Morton OF the Santa Fe, who was in the
city during the reunion, is a close stu
dent Of industrial conditions. He keeps
thoroughly postei on agricultural devel-
opments and crop conditions, following
those matters as closely as a board OF
trade man. He is especially well-inform-
ed on conditions in that part Of the Unit
ed States covered by the great Santa Fe
railway system. Mr. Morton has IN
bounded confidence in the future of Ok
lahona, seeing in its long summer sea-
sons an advantage not possessed by the
countries farther north. To a Times
Journal reporter Mr.. Morton said:
The people Of Kansas and Oklahoma
are to be congratulated, first an the big
wheat crop they have raised, its yield
per acre and its quantity; second, be-
cause Of the price they are to receive for
the crop, and third, because Of the adver-
Using thar it brings to this section Of the
country. The eyes of the entire country
are now directed to Kansas and Okla
homa. Everybody is talking about you.
It is worth thousands Of dollars to the
territory.
THE advantage that Kansas and Ok
lahoma have ever Minnesota and the Da-
kotas is very manifest this year If they
lose their wheat crop up there they have
nothing 20 fail back on; whereas. the
people Of Oklahoma can lose a wheat
crop and then fall back on the cotton or
corn. The many resources Of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory are being widely
advertised by our company, and we ex-
