ARE you A MAsoN?"

There are said to be more laughs
to the minute in Are You a Mason"
which comes to the Spokane theater
May and 9. than IN any comedy
that has been seen on the stage in
long time. Certain it is that wher-
ever presented it's success as a mirth
producer has been quick and en-
phatic.
The major portion of the fun is
created by two pseudo Masons, John
C. Rice and Thomas A. Wise. and
there will be no straight faces in the
audience after these two comedians
get to work deceiving the others. and
themselves most of all. In fact so
great is the fun created by this merry
comedy that it is said to convulse
with merriment even the most cap
tious and stolid playgoers.

MRS. cAlnBELL,s cAaExx,

Mrs. Patrick Campbell is a Lon

lish and her mother Italian. As a
child she possessed a high degree Of
musical talent and won a scholarship
at the Guildhall School of Music, Lon
don. for a three years' free tuition in
Leipsic. The prospect of brilliant
musical career was cut short by a
very romantic episode. She was then
but II years old, and. instead of TAX
ing UP the scholarship, she eloped
with Mr.. Patrick Campbell, then a
stalwart young soldier Of Is.
Mrs. Campbell began her profess
ional career as Rosalind in "As You
Like It." in which she toured the
English provinces. She rapidly climb
ed up the ladder from leading lady
to the ne plus ultra of theatrical am
bition-the actress-manager in her
own theater Conspicuous in the list
of her successes are Beyond Human
Power" by Bjornsen, and The Joy
of Living" the work of Hermann Su-
dermann.
1t was during the engagement of
"Magda" in London that her husband
died. At the outbreak of the Boer
war he had reentered the army, en-
listed as a private, but before sailing
was promoted to the rank of ser
geant. He was killed during the first
engagement on Spion Kopf, the only
fatality on the English side.
Mrs. Campbell will be seen at the
Spokane theater Monday afternoon
and night
THE Joy of Living will be the
bill at the matinee and "Magda" at
night The matinee performance will
begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock and
| in the evening the curtain will rise
promptly at S:15. Manager Weaver
announces that persons coming after
the curtain rises will positively not
be seated until the first act is ended.

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. and
got his start. Then, when he had
enough money to branch out. he
bought $4,000 acres of West Virginia
wilderness for few cents an acre..
Extensive coal deposits were found
and the timber yielded large profits
He built the West Virginia Central
railroad, and superintendent the whole
work, so that the workmen said of
him that he knew every nail that was
used. This wilderness now has large
towns and many industries. Some
years ago the road reached a certain
point and stopped. 1t was evident that
an important projection would be-
made. A young man went to Senator
Davis and said:
OOHdlOT, suppose you knew q
worthy young person who had laid by
little money for investment, and YOU
also knew where the towns were to-
be located upon the new line, what
would you do?"
We'll" he said slowly, 81 might

He had gone on horseback over the
whole route, and bought up the sta
ton sites and surroundings long be-
fore the report about the new road
was published. Mr.. Davis-or Senator
Davis, as he is universally called in
West Virginia-is one of the leading
multi-millionaires of the country.
