OPERA HOUSE.

In the production of Nancy q
Co., :" Augustin DAILY comedy success,
the Vendome Stock Company scored a
hit at the Opera House last week.
The play is clean, laughable and enter
tanning, and every performer acted his
or her part creditably. The specialties
between the acts, including the illus
trated songs and the vitagraph pic
lures, were we'll worth the price of
admission themselves. There was a
sized audience in attendance, and
nobody went away disappointed.
Murray & Mack the comedians, who
were booked to appear here Tuesday
night, could not fill the engagement on
account of the railroad schedule. How
ever, they will make another date some
time this month.
The Vendome Stock Co., which was
here last Thursday night, has been
booked for another engagement neTt
Monday night, November II.

Disbursement is never permitted to
the child OF God, nor stoical nonresist-
ance. There is fatalistie as well as a
Christian way of facing the ills of life.
Shall | allow my will to sleep in the
presence of any calamity on the
ground that calamity is resistless be-
fore man or God? So, we are told, the
Hindoos often do before famine or pes
thence. They sullenly bow beneath the
storm, their efforts paralyzed by a false
dogma So hundreds of a more enlight-
ened race are victimized in the pres
cnce of physical ills or business mis-
fortunes by idleness or weakness in
duced by unmanly fears. The saying,
"What can't be cured must be endur-
ed" is frequently on our tongues. More
profitable the saying, while there's
life, there's hope" Destroy the ant hill
a thousand times, and It's tiny inhab-
itants viii yet promptly begin its re-
building. So while grain of strength
remains to us we should labor on to-
ward our betterment, trusting God to
cure when our own best remedies fail.
