as one of the best known and most
level-headed members of the demo-
cratic party in Illinois and is known
in every county in the state from Ga
lena to Cairo and from the big lake
to the big river.
Mr.. Pickering's candidacy is par
ticularly fortunate for the party at

count of the fact that his name on

ing the assurance of victory II must

pleased with the prospects" he said,
for it cannot be misunderstood by
anyone who takes the pains TO study
the situation. 1t. is simply in the at

TALES OF THEATRE.

1t can probably be said with safety
that the American people as a whole
are little acquainted with the litera-
ture of Russia. The theater-going
public find it faithfully reflected. how
ever, in modern stage productions.
One of the best Of the Russian plays.
according to all accounts. is For Her
Sake" n tale of love and intrigue and
suffering in the Siberian convict
mines. 1t * pretentious stage pro-
duction, and will be offered here at
the Illinois, Sunday evening. The
company is large one. and the play
Is equipped, scenicaily. il is said,
with great fidelity to the require
ments of facts and with small re
gard to expense. 1t is credited with
Il leavening of original comedy.
The coming attraction at the Hi
noiS tomorrow is the Mailman" one
of Lincoln J. Carriers latest and best
productions. 1t is a comedy that
for originality of plot deserves a
place in the front ranks. The piece
is also sprinkled with sensation
enough TO cause one to hold his
breath at times. but Immediately
passes into Jolly laugh. The story
deals with n stranded one night barn
stnrIning theatrical troupe. while
left in the lurch by the manager in a
small country hotel. Through the
busineSS-likc methods of the leading
lady the old landlord is prevailed
upon to take the company to
their next stand and act as manager
of the said company. This gives the
landlords stage struck son chance
to ''act out" They also take in and
protect n woman who has been trying
TO hide in this small town from her
husband. mailman. who was at one
time a knife-thrower in a circus. The
complications that arise. the com
pany trying to get the old jay land
lord away SO his wife won't stop his
theatrical career, and trying to
dodge the mailman, and keep his
wife from him. are so extremely
funny that they make up an evenings
enjoyment not soon forgotten.

The menu consisted Of many pressed
things which were really delicious. There
was good. sweet ham pressed between

matoes were sliced and pressed into SER
vice. All kinds OF good things were
pressed into the center OF boiled eggs, and
chicken was pressed Ia fine.
