Quo Vadis.

Among the many good things
OF the season presented at the
Opera House this season none
will equal the latest dramatic
sensation entitled "Quo Vadis," :"
which will be presented here on
Saturday. Feb. %. The first act
is divided into two scenes, the
first in Pretonius house and the
second in the garden of Aulus
Plautius. Having become ac-
quainted with Vinicius' infatua-
ton for the pretty hostage Lygia,
we are taken into the next act to
Nero's palace, where we see Ur-
sus successful in rescuing the
prisoner when she was almost in
Vinicius' grasp. Then in the
palace of Pretonius we meet the
Apostle Greek, Chilo, who offers
to discover the hiding place of
Lygia and her Christian friends.
The attempted rescue of Lygia
leads to a wrestling bout between
UrSuS ana Il servant or PretOnuS.
In the third act Vinicius pro-
fesses Christianity and is married
to Lygia. In the fourth act we
enter Nero's palace where he is
entertaining his courtiers with his
poetry. The next scene shows
the burning of Rome, and in Il
third scene an underground cham
ber of the Mamertine prison.
where the Christians are held.
The last is outside the amphi-
theatre, where Nero is compelled
by his soldiers to pardon Vinicius,
Lygia and Ursus. 1t is a produc-
tion once seen never to be for
gotten; a play in which the au-
dience live the scenes with the
actors, and everything is forgot
ten in the keen interest felt.

A party consisting of J. K.
Sandoz, A. B. Pickett, Eraste
Dupre and A. A. Comeau left last
Wednesday morning for an ex-
tended bear hunt on the Atchaf-
alya. We are informed that the
expedition left fully provided for
any emergency-one of the party
was equipped with u double-bar-
relied shot gun, Il Winchester rifle,
two six-shooters, q Bowie knife
and a pair Of climbers; although
this is said to be his first bear
hunt, it Is quite evident that he
has a pretty correct idea of what
may be required in case of emer-
gency. We don't know whether
he will get the bear, but we will
venture the assertion that the
bear don't get him.

Just Struck Her.

Though it happened in one of Detroft's swell hotels, neither of the principals belongs here. He had just seated himself at the dinner table, when she and an other lady came in with the usu- al flourish of handsome, we'll dressed women.
 He turned a shade or two paler. After coming her menu she looked across the table and her face took on a puzzled express ion. When their eyes met dur ing the meal each pretended to be studying the tablecloth or the opposite wall. He left first and she watched through the doors.
 F'Amie," she said to her com panion, ''I certainly know that man, but I can't for the life of me place him. 1 think he knew me, too. But 1 couldn't bow to him unless I were sure, could l? You know that 1 never snub anyone" :"
 He wandered into the parfor later while the women were there, looked little too fierce for congeniality, and got away as soon as he could. She again gave out the conviction that she knew him and wondered where it was and who he could be.
 "Never mind," said the com panion, "he's nothing to us. Forget him." @

The time to give strength to the child is before birth and to inpart this gift the mother herself must be strong. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton gives strength to mothers. It pre- serves them i'll robust health in the months before baby comes. It practical ly does away with the pains of mother hood, and enables the mother to endo@ her child with a healthy body and happy disposition.

A newspaper is of no account if it has not enemies. When abuse comes from the lips of a newspaper enemy close mves- tigation will generally show that the man from whom the hard words come has been crossed i1f some scheme by that paper. A newspaper that has no eremies' has no warm friends; it is 1leu- tral sheet, afraid to take posi- tion on any subject. Newspaper abuse does not hurt paper as much as a good word from a friend helps, it.
