WELLSBURG, w. Va, March 2.-Much
interest is being shown toward the pres
entation of the home talent play, Big
gers Big Blunder," to be given under the
auspices of the Modern Woodmen of
America. The play is home talent
throughout, being written and staged by
one of Wellsburg's best known citizens,
u. S. Higgins. The play is a comedy in
three acts, a nice plot running through
it. The play brings out a character. an
elderly man who was at one time wealthy,
but now just in fair circumstances His
great hobby is the invention of new ma
chimes and theories. Among these Is the
idea that he has discovered a way to
grow new limbs on the MANNED in life.
This introduces a bum veteran of the
civil war minus one leg and an arm, as a
subject to work on, also a chemist who
later falls in love with the old inventors
daughter, but he, net thinking the same
about the old mans schemes, is ordered
away, but he DISCUSSES as an Irish SER
rant in the inventors employ, which
makes a double character, causing all
kind of side-splitting situations. There Is
also a colored gentleman in the inventors
employ who has his trouble with the
Irish. A Jude whose father is wealthy,
is in love with the daughter, and has won
the fathers consent but not the girls.
The old mans wife is boss of the house
