Of the most beautiful estates on the

Tho Dukes Secretary,

The Duke of Marlborough, who has
been appointed under secretary of
state for foreign affairs, Is to be pro.
vided with a private secretary who
will be capable of filling the Office and
keeping the duke from committing
blunders. The name of the private
secretary is not mentioned, probably
owing to his insigniacance and the
fact that he hasn't much except
brains.

Loves Glamor,

o, love is like the wondrous dawn
OF summer days,
When thro' morn's haze
A purple beauty comes, is gone.
For cen when short It's O, so sweet,
And while it lasts
A glamor casts
Far stretched and fair before our feet.
All. love, why need that glamor fade?
Do we not know
Enough of woe,
Of sorrow and Of hope dismayed
Without the GROWING loss Of thee?
For lone life's ways
And drear its days
To hearts where love has ceased to be

COSTUMES FOR AUTO. DOGS
MiIadx's Pet 10 Wall Protected When
He Rides.


Milady with the, pet dog appendage
takes his royal highness automob1l1ng
these days in "auto-togs" as up-to-date
as her own. His eyes are screened
by chauffeur's goggles, his silken coat
is protected from the dust by linen
or silk covering made like bag, but
with slits for his legs to come through
so that, should there be an accident to
the car, It would be possible for him
to land on his feet. A hood OF linen
or silk is put over his head to match
the body covering.
Some dogs might resent this cos
tune, but milady's pet is so accus'
toned to the delicate attentions OF his
mistress that he takes kindly to his
"auto-togs" and wears them with an
appreciative air.

AT THE THEATER

At to-day's matinee and tonight
Joseph jefferson, Sr., will be seen in
his greatest plays. rip Van Wrinkle"
at the matinee. and The Rivals" at
night. Mr.. jefferson is the most con-
spcuous figure on the American stage
at the opening of the Twentieth Cen
fury, as he was one of it's greatest
artists in the last quarter of the Nine
teenth Century. There is something
about him and his art that draws him
closer to the playgoer's and the gen.
eral public's heart than any other act
or was ever drawn. His manner of
life his all-round fondness for the ideal
and artistic, his public and private as
sociations, the quiet unostentatious
way in which he continues to contrib
ute to the dignity of his profession, all
commend him as strongly as the heart
humanity and poetry he puts into his
impersona tons.
No other characters in the entire
range of the drama have ever taken
such strong and persistent hold on
popular favor and esteem as Mr.. JET
ferson's rip Van Winkle," and Bob
Acres" Rip he has been playing for
forty years. Bob Acres has been In
his repertory for about twenty-five
years. The secret of MIR. Jefferson's
great success in these roles is that he
sincerely lives them, and that enact
ing them is play in more senses than
one. He puts his soul and all the gold
en- cheer of his own good nature into
the portrayal, and that is why Ameri-
can audiences throng to and laugh over
them year by year, and prefer the actor
in them to any new characterizations
which he might essay. 1t is probable
that if Mr.. jefferson. who has already
over sixty years of stage work to his
credit, were to go on acting with his
present fecility, humor, and ferver his
audience at the end of that time would
still be unwilling to say goodbye TO
Bob or Rip.

Last Night.
It has again been announced, and
this time positively, that the Sacred
Heart fair will close Tuesday night.
The original intention was to have car
ried it through the second week only,
but such has been the pressure brought
to bear upon the committee in charge
that it will be open two nights next
week. Tonight and Monday and
Tuesday nights will consequently be
the last chances to visit the fair, and
no doubt crowds will attend. Last
night it had been expected that the
Eagles would attend in a body, but
owing to some misunderstanding only
a few of the officers came. The arch
over the stage had been decorated with
a fine eagle, in compliment to the ex-
pected guests, and this was appreciat-
ed by those who arrived. The presi-
dent said before leaving, that he would
bring up a crowd of the Eagles Mon
day night.
This afternoon special attractions are
offered for the children. At the Japa-
nese booth the little folks will find
their old friend, Foxy Grandpa. He

For the last two years numbers of
people have been turned away from
the graduation exercises because there
was not even standing room in the
Lawton Memorial. Sometimes special
friends Of the kindergarten and the
students have been thus shut out.
There have also been many children
admitted who occupied seats intended
for grown persons interested in the
educational aspect of these exercises.
To obviate these difficulties the man.
agement has issued as many tickets as
there are seats in the Lawton Me-
mortal. These tickets may be had by
applying in person or by letter to Mr..
