What promises to be the most
notable event of the theatrical sea-

Wright,s magnificent production of
Arthur Sidman's prettiest of all
pastoral plays, york State Folks, "
which comes to the Auditorium

habltua1 theatre goer tired of stage
fiction, stage villains and stage he
roles, this absolutely natural de-
picted of American village life just
as 1t actually exists comes as a
pleasing variation. There Is an
absence of bright dialogue and
droll humor, and the pathos and
sentiment of this play are not OF
the artificial sort. The stage set
tings are remarkably elaborate and
many of the scenes were so well
managed as to receive hearty ap-
applause when seen here before.
rhe original company will be
seen In the forth omiug engage
ment, including James Lackaye as
he forceful and domineering old
village president, Simon Peter Mar
in and Ray L Royc. IS the lovable
md humorous old musician around
whom the play rev9lves.

In marriage only when there is equality
of health as well as affection. Affection
may be the basis of unity in marriage,
but the superstructure depends largely
on the womanly health. When the wife
is tormented with backache, distressed
by headache, and raoked by nervous
ness, she has no ambition for exercise or
pleasure.
Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women we'll. It cures headache, back
ache, and other woman1y ills by curing
the diseases of the womanly organism
which cause them. It establishes regu-
larity, dries weakening drains, heals in-
hammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.
Weak and sick women are invited to
consult DR.. Pierce, by letter, free. All
correspondence is held as strictly private
and sacredly confidential. Address DR..

the little more profit paid on the sale OF

your loss, therefore accept no substitute.

wiser Effected His Decision.
Washington, Oct. 29.-The officials
here find an ample explanation of the
adverse decision of King Oscar in
the matter Of the Samoan claims, in
the statement that comes from Stock
holm to the effect that the kings de-
cision was influenced by three jurists
one of whom was Ia. Cederkranz, one
lime chief justice of Samoa.
1t is stated that while filling that
important post Mr.. Cederkranz came
Unto frequent collision with Judge
Chambers, the American land com
missioner, who afterwards succeeded
Eederkranz as CHEZ justice, and it is
believed that the personal i'll feeling
that followd undoubtedly Influenced
the character of the advice given tC
King Oscar.

He Is from the west, Mir. Ash burton says. and be has been recently ordained. A great sorrow drove him Into the ministry. He used to be rath- CT wild, and one night over a game of cards he came near killing a man, SO near that he thought he had killed him. Ills friolds thought SO, too, and got him out of the country before the yigi- lantes would find him. When he recoT' cred his senses, he was coming back to give himself up. but he got a letter from his sweetheart begging him not to and telling him it would kill her if he did. So he went on to Africa, India or somewhere else and roamed around, shooting elephants and things. After awhile he came home and tried to get himself arrested, but failed because the man he thought he killed Is very much alive and doesn't want any ease made out. His sweetheart had disap- peared. She had no family and had gone away soon after he did. All his efforts to trace her have been unavail- Ing. Think of going around for years burdened with the belief that you had killed somebody"

"These natives have such skill v says one old historian, "that 1t very rarely happens that they miss their aim. What makes them 80 great In the use of the sling is the training giv- en them from their earliest years by their mothers, who set up a piece of bread hung at the end of a rod for a target and let their children remain without food until they have hit It. when the child who is the victor re- ceives the bread as the reward of his skill and patience"
