MISTAKES made by foreigners in

of the mistakes made ia this way

make equally as ridiculous blunders

too polite to laugh at us on account
of them. In fact, so far AS polite
ness is concerned, we Americans
might often take a lesson, with
great profit, from foreigners.

The newest thing in town is not al
gether new, but it will interest the
greatest lot of people. A deal was
completed yesterday through which
the Nathan Shoe and Clothing com
pany will retire from business on
January 1st, 1902, and be succeeded
by the whitehall Shoe and Clothing
company. ii. l.. Hall and Harry g.
Turner have purchased the half In

Clothing company and Mr.. Nathan
reures to look after realty and other
interests in Pueblo. where he and
family will reside In future.
While a large circle OF friends will
regret the removal of Mr.. Nathan
and family from Durango. the wei
come Of Messrs Hall and Turner into
commercial circles in their chosen
station will be universal. Both are
deservedly popular with the business
community and the people of the
Southwest generally. Mr.. Hall has
been in business at the post trading
store at Ignacio for several years
and during that time has been in close
touch with the people of Durango.
His experience in the mercantile
business Ats him for the position
which he will now occupy In the
trade affairs Of the growing young
city OF Durango.
Harry Turner-what would you
say about him any way? 1t would be
the same old thing-everybody likes
him, everybody is his friend-and
that is nearly all you could say. fur
ther than that his years OF associa-
tion with the Nathan Shoe and Cloth
ing company have taught him the
clothing trade of the Southwest In
all It's detail. He knows every ele-
ment Of trade, knows everybody and
knows what each wants. He knows
the goods and what they are worth
and what everybody wants, and
he knows where they have to go and

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY
FROM DRAMATIC STANDPOINT

1t is q painful commentary on the
artistic taste Of Durango, when a play
like Little Lord Fauntleroy, full OF
noble sentiment and healthy morals,
should play to slim houses, while the
tag end of a minstrel show, with
bum band and vulgar witticisms fills
the Durango opera house to the ex-
tent that 1t would be impossible to
make an exit in event Of confia-
grafton. Yet this is a fact.

nous by Elsie Leslie in the title role
dozen years ago, was presented by
Durango amateurs, but it is doubt

formance of the little lord of Dorm

beautiful lines the author has given

more native grace and sweetness than
did little Maudie Henderson last
night, who has undoubted talent for
the stage, which was brought out 20
the best advantage by Mr.. Handler,
under whose direction and careful
coaching OF the different characters
| the play was presented.
Durango has progressed far
enough beyond her callow stage that
newspapers should cease to insult
their readers and the play-going pub
lie with an unqualified eulogy ou
dramatic performances. and for these
substitute just and intelligent re-
views. which would eventually raise
the standard OF Durango's artistic
taste. as well as the ability CT he's

to foster and cultivate, since 1t II

route of first-class theatrical com
