AN ATTRACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT.
Howes moving pictures, an attrac-
tion that has drawn great audiences in
New Milford, will appear at Roger
Sherman hall, Saturday evening, Octo-
Der II, under the auspices of Shaghti-
coke tribe, No. 81, I. O. r. M. General
admission 25c and 35c; reserved seats
SOC. The Barrel Wy Evening Telegram
has this to say of the program present.
ed: "Everything as natural as life and
twice as funny can be used to de-
scribe the exhibition given last evening
at the opera house by the Lyman H.
Howe Moving Picture Co. And the
best of it all was that every picture
was just as it was advertised to be, new.
This company never presents any old
pictures,so that person attending one
of their performances may be certain
of seeing an entirely new set of pic
lures. The we'll known reputation of
this company was sufficient to pack the
opera house SO that there was scarcely
vacant seat. The exhibition was a
complete success and all who attended
1T went home more than we'll pleased.
Among the pictures shown which at
tracted the greatest interest were the
scenes of the corona ton of King Ed
ward VII. The Henly regatta was al
so well given as were the thrilling fire
rescue, the ping pong game and fun on
a deep sea fishing boat. The many
funny pictures pleased as much as any
given. Perhaps the best of this sort
were those of the baker and his dough
various feats of magic. The Oriental
scenes, including pictures OF life in ia
pan, China and Arabia, were very
pleasing indeed. The coronation
scenes held the close interest of the
audience from beginning to end. The
public buildings, decorations and re-
view of the troops, as well as the
crowds in the streets, were very enter
tanning. AS rule all the pictures
shown were foreign, but they were all
SO well given that person had but lit
tie difficulty in imagining he was look
ing at the real thing. One of the best
set of pictures OF the entire evening
was the scenes from che kennel club
show. The Howe pictures are the
best given and once seen people have
but very little use for any others. The
company will pack the opera house
again on the occasion of their next Wis
it here.

Don,t Be a second class Man.

You can hardly imagine a boy say
ing: Il am going to be q second class
man. l don't want to be first class
and get the good jobs, the high pay.
Second class jobs are good enough for
me-" Such a boy would be regarded
as lacking in good sense if not in san
ity. You can get to be second class
man, however, by not trying to be a
first class one. Thousands do that all
the time, so that second class men are
a drug on the market. remarks Sue
cess.
Second class things are only wanted
when first class can't be had. You
wear first class clothes if you can pay
for them, eat first class butter, first
class meat and first class bread, or, if
you don't, you wish you could. Second
class men are no more wanted than
any other second class commodity.
They are taken and used when the
better article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For work
that really amounts to anything first
class men are wanted.
