the hotel not only because of the very acceptable service the guests are the recipients Of under his proprietorship but because there seems in store for Mir MaZon just at the present time one or the richest harvests in the history of the hotel Never before has the hotel been so widely advertised, never before have there been so many letters of in quiry received with reference to the hotel and Tempe and never before have there been so many tourists in the house at this season of the year as now Tempe citizens will be pleased to know that it is the universal state ment of travelling salesmeI whose ter ritory covers Nevada, Arizona and southern California that there is no hotel on their routes that affords them more comfortable accommodations and presents a more cheerful and pleasing appearance than Tempe's Casa Loma.
 It appears from the large number of tourists that have already located in Tempe for the winter that the tour ist world has just begun to learn Of the many advantages Tempe affords to those who are seeking a mild climate and a quiet place for rest and for the recovery of health and surely in these particulars they will not be disap pointed for in the points of pure air natural scenery, cleanliness of her streets. good society and church and educational advantages Tempe has few equals.

It has for its story a theme that is en- tirely new. It is woven around eleven characters, each one of whom has q distinct reason for being there. Abel same opinion concerning the subject of marriage Abel contends that man is infinitely better off in a state of single blessedncss while his son dem- onstrates his position by marriage. This action on the paIt of Dick means disinheritance and the situations and complica tions that arise from the older Preston are too farcical for explana- ton. Brown is an assumed name and there are no less than three women figuring as Mrs. Brown. These com plications arise from a call of the elder Preston upon the scene of his sons honeymoon. Humorous situations are brought about by the sons anxiety to hide his marriage from his father. l ts ingenious construction and witty dialogue together with the swiftness of its action bring many surprises. The music and songs incidental to the farce are all original and do not mar the action of the play. The company in- cludes such capable people as Chas. Horn. Geo. Welch, Frank Willard. Perry Alexafder, Emanuel Ward. Fan nie Midgley, Elizabeth Lindell Whipps, Edna Hickel. Coralie Clifton and oth- CTS. Reserved seats at Goodman's Prices 25c, soc, 75c and, $1.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tab lets is almost invariably to those who have once used them" says MT. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cas- cade, Iowa. What better recommenda- ton could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, you are certain to be delighted with the promptthe prompt relief which they afford.

The much-talked-of celebration has fallen through, or rather has been in- definitely postponed. The matter was fully discussed at the meeting Monday night and it was decided that there was no possible way of accommodating guests who might come here during the holiday week, as every available room Tn Douglas is full. There was over Sl,OOO already raised toward the occa- sion and at least $1, 1,OO0 more in sight. so the financial end of the celebration was the least part of the difficulty.
 MT. Stillman said that there was no use trying to secure accommodations Tor anything like the number of people who would be likely to come here at the tune or the celebration. "I have visited every place where there is a possibility or securing rooms but have been un- able to lind any. I cannot get rooms Tor my own guests from time to time and the hotels, lodging houses and other places of accommodation are all crowded. It cerainly is impossible to accommodate fifty more people in t7ouglas for one night than we have at present, and it is certain that no one wishes to stay up these cold nights - Douglas Dispatch.

In response to the recent announce ment that she desired to have un1nown athors submit plays suitable for stellar purposes for her. Miss May Buckley leading lady of James O'NeilTs The Honour of The Humble" company, has already received more than thirty manuscripts. She declares that while she has not yet been suited she is sur prised by the high averake of merit of the works submitted, and is anxious to hear from those authors who have hitherto been holding off"
 Actors are cold people. William Nor ris. having made an enviable reputa- tion in heavy work, was 10th to accept the role of Barry in The Country Girl" now running ct Daly's theateT, New York, in spite of the very seduc- tive accompanying se:ary. He finally accepted it. however, with the result that the role has proved the hit of hIs career.
 Mary F.. Wilkins is SO delighted with the success of Walter F. Perkins In the drama tization of her novel, Jerome h Poor Man." that she is said to have declared that she will write an orig inal play for Mir Perkins. from which she will afterward construct a novel.

 who had battled for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the institute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is home treatment, and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and memory. weak back, vari- cocele, or cancellations of parts can now cure themselves at home.
 The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth, and seems to act di- rectly to the desired location. giving strength and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of mis- use of the natural functions, and has been an absolute success in all cases. A request to the State Medical Insti- tute, 1132 Elektron Building, Ft. Wayne, Ind. stating that you desire one of their free trial packages. would be complied with promptly. The Insti- tute is desirous of reaching that great class of men who are unable to leave home to be treated, and the free sam ples will enable them to see how easy it is for them to be cured of sexual weak ness when the prsper remedies are em- ployed. The institute makes no re- strictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its recipient need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity. Readers are requested to write without delay.

In ambush in the crevices of the rocks

up stones into heap, behind which
it conceals itself until il can pounce
