A new and intelligent play, The

the Grand Opera House on Monday

endorsed as one of the strongest
dramas produced in years. Care and
skill have been exercised in the con-
struction of the plot, and the author
has done his work well. The play deals
with the affections of the heart, and
holds the closest attention of the audi
ence from start to finish. The mem
bers OF the company Will be found
fully equal in their respective roles, the
management having used excellent
judgment in selecting the players. The
production also presents a series of
stage pictures with effects that are new,
startling and realistic.

Margery draws any picture she sees
Little girls, little boys, dogs. horses and
trees
And when she is through she colors them
all
And hangs them around on the nursery
wall
There's a boy with blue hair and funny
green eyes
In a jacket of yellow; he looks very wise
There's Il COW spashed in crimson, whose
horns are of green;
There's the queerest old house you ever
have seen.
With the front door up stairs and the
windows left out
And the steps and the chimneys nowhere
about.
But the funniest picture of any guess.
Is thin little girl in pink and red dress.
With 4 hat all of green and with straight
purple hair,
Who is sitting upon a navy blue chair.
Uncle Tom said: That's Margery but
oh. dear me.
neversonce thought such picture could
be
Like our wee little girl. so happy and
fair,
With checks made of roses and long gold

And eyes big and brown and smile, oh, so

In tiny pink ribbons and dressed all in
white.

The alarming fatality from lockjaw
should impress upon the public the eX-
treme need for radical treatment of these
wounds even the most insignificant Such
wounds are either penetrating or acerat
ing, presenting the most favorable condi-
tons for infection, and the hand or foot
of the victim is usually begrimed with
dirt. especially from the earth. Tetanus
is an infectious disease due to the action
of a microhe and although one of the
most fatal diseases is probably one of the
most easily preyentable in many cases
The wound should be thoroughly
cleansed and drained as only a good sur
geon or physician can do it and never by
amateurs or according TO household meth
DDS. Cauterization in these cases is a
pernicious practice, because 1t makes a
crust over the wound and thus prevents
free drainage. In other words. ii effectu
ally imprisons the microbes and thus pro
notes infection.
The bacillus of tetanus is said TO be an
an2robic-it lives without air and Is
killed by free air; hence the necessity for
thorough cleansing and drainage. Final
ly this bacillus is teluric-it inhabits
earth or oil.-lndianapolis Journal

The woman of limited means should
avoid the snare of getting SO handsome
and elaborate a dress that it looks out
of place if worn on any but the most
special of occasions. Because a frock
bears the hallmark of a great, maker
it does not follow that it is always con-
venable, and as limited wardrobe
does not allow of frequent changes
the best dress" has to be worn in
season and out of season because it is
too good to discard till both wearer and
friends are heartily tired of it,
TO select one particular color and to
make it the keynote of ones whole
scheme of dress is n sure way to Sc
cure a reputation of elegance. Take
mauve or pale blue and let it appear
in ones odd waists, dress Innings, pet
ticoats, waist belt cravats and hats,

FLOWER AND TREE.

There is a pink variety of lily of the
valley which is often grown in Eng
land, though seldom seen with us.
A palm tree which grows on the
banks of the Amazon has leaves thirty
to fifty feet in length and ten to twelve
feet in breadth.
Standard and "stand by" plants and
varieties should be the rule of the be-
ginner. Experiment with new flowers
and varieties only in a small way.
Study color effects if you would have
a really beautiful garden. The lowell
est colors often neutraliZe each other
sadly. Clear reds and magentas. for
instance, should not be close neigh
borS.
p Know the plants as you would peo-
pie if you would have them respond
fully. Find out their habits, their
likes and dislikes. The study is one
of unfailing pleasure, and it pays rich
interest in perpetual bloom.
Linnia plants are good for low hedges.
Plants foot and half apart will soon
run branches together, and the foliage
is dense from the ground up. The
flowers are almost as brilliant as those
of the dahlia and are produced freely
from July to late October.
The productiveness of Formosa is so
great that it is believed that the pres
ent population of 100000 could be
raised to 100000 without exhausting
the fertility of the soil.

PRECOClOUS AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.

Was successful play ever written
by Il boy If fourteen? asks a CORE
spondent Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example of the prccocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
Ii Vega. the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, "A comedy. entitled La Pas
toral de Jacinto." before he had com
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such marvellous per-
Torrance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as the Prodigy
Of Nature" Another Spaniard and con
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Mc.astasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino'' :. i had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author of BLACK
Eyed Susan. also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1918. before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very well known farce entitled
"More Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough,
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of a different sort
of precocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
TO be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts of the time as genuine.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

He Loved Animals.

OF Blackmore, the novelist, an old
friend has said in Literature that his
kindness TO animals and birds was nearly
divine. Dogs loved him; pigeons fol.
lowed him about. A blackbird built in Il
hole in his garden well one year. and he
planked the well over lest the young ones,
when they became venturesome, should
be drowned. From the planks over the
water he had sort of ladder constructed
for them to escape, which they all did
and repaid him by beautifully devouring
his strawberries.
There is picture of himself as a vine
dresser in one of his Devonshre tales.
'Christowell.' His love for women and
girls, especially girls, was as great as Mr..
Ruskins, but less outspoken. though evil
dent in his books. There is always a
Lorna or a Darrell as sweet as English
air can make her He was shy and re-
firing and not given TO tongue"

Playing Gardener.

To play gardener divide the COM
pany into two sides, giving each side a
captain. The captains may be APP
pointed aud choose their sides much
as they are chosen for a spelling bee.
Each captain is called a gardener"
The first one marShals his forces be-
hind him on one side of the room, and
his opponent does the same thing on
the other \ letter is chosen, say A,
and each gardener in turn must say
the name of something beginning with
that letter until one or the other fails.
The players on each side are allowed
to prompt their gardener in whispers
only. If one speaks aloud, he or she
must go over to the other side. If a
gardener fails to respond with word
by the time the opposite side has
counted twenty, the other gardener is
entitled to one of his men. Only the
names of things that can be grown in
a garden are allowable-fruits, vegeta-
bleS, flowers. trees. etc. The side that
succeeds in capturing all the men
from the other is the one that wins
AS fast as one letter stumps side an
other is taken. The best way is to go
right through the alphabet.
