"our New Minlster''
At the Metropolitan, beginning Thurs
day, Our New Minister comedy in
three acts by Denman Thompson and
George w: Ryer. will have its first Min
neapollS preSenta ton. Tt is seventeen years
since the authors of 1.-THE Old Home
stead" have written rural comedy, and
this new one, dealing with life in a New
England village, is said to be full of heart
interest, to typify the worse and the bet
ter sides of human nature. and to brim
over with genuine Yankee fun. The types
OF charac ter portrayed strongly resemble
those of The Old Homestead" the au-
thors having taken pains to approach as
nearly as possible to nature, not alone
In characters but also in the scenes, sit
uations and dialogue. There is an at
mosphere of rustic simplicity. quaintness
and unconventionality about the play
Yankee humor trickles through some of
the most fanciful lines and enlivens many
OF the situations, but always there is
vein of lathos.
"Our Minister" is portrayal of life in
a small New England village, called Hard
/ scrabble, N. H., where 1.-The rocks grow
faster than the yous can pick 'em up"
The story relates to a man whose youth
was so clouded with hardship that, grown
TO manhood, he became a petty criminal
rather than submit to hard work and
cruel treatment, and, through implication
in the theft of large sum of money and
government bonds is sentenced to prison
meanwhile he has turned over his plumber
to a confederate on the latters promise
that he will provide for the family of the
convict and later share with him the pro-
ceeds. The latter serves his sentence.
! and, returning to Hardscrabble, finds his
family neglected and learns that the con-
| federate, grown rich, now poses as a
reputable member of the community. Re-
solved to lead an honest life, the convict
begs him to make restitution but the hyp-
convict out Of town. The new minister,
however, comes to the rescue and, in the
lend, justice is DONE The minister falls
in love with the reformed convict's pretty
/ daughter.
There are three scenes, the front of the
i general store and postoffice at Hardscrab-
BILE, the sitting-room of the new minister
and the kitchen Of Lem Rawson, the re-
4 formed convict The original cast will be
ISeen, including John Terr1ss, Charles Sted-
4 man, Joseph Conyers, John Barker, Hen
lry R. Scott, Grant Foreman, W. c.. Tan

The Boss Dressnidkef.

The hand that rocks the cradle
may rule the world, but Dame FASH
ion rules the owner of the hand.
Listen to the de. rec of Madame
Lucky Baker, president of the Ma
tional DressmakcIs' Association,
which was issued In Chicago the 9th
er day. "The kangaroo walk and the
Gibson shoulders are doomed. Tight
fitting waists with sloping shoulders
and straight fronts are to do away
with the loose pouch fronts, which
set off the kangaroo walk, and also
with the square Gibson shoulders of
the military girl. High heels were
not made to walk on. They ruin the
feet and figure, and persons who wear
them are disgusting. Don't let any
of your customers wear them" She
concluded by declaring that there
would be no more droop in the figure
of the American woman.
That is the edict of Dame Fashion,
and the American women will hasten
to obey it. Iigh-heeled shoes and
pouched waists will go to the junk
pile. Yet year ago nobody could
have induced an American woman
who pretends to follow the fashion to
have worn anything else. The presi-
dent of the American Dressmakers'
Association appears to be a woman
of common sense at present. Wasn't
she one a year ago?
But then the dressmakers must
have something to do and II styles
did not change many of them would
have to 60 out of business. And no
matter how she Is attired the Amer
lean woman will look all right, be-
cause she is all right.-Cleveland
Leader.

A good method to be followed in
cleaning the dairy tinware would be as
follows: Wash first with water at
about 80 to 100 degrees with a stiff
brush (never use a cloth for washing
tinware of this sorU. The brush will
get into all corners. and when there are
any dried particles of milk sticking to
the sides IL will scratch them loose. One
precaution always to be observed is
never TO pour hot water into a can till
it has been washed with warm water.
as the hot water cooks the milk to the
side of the vessel and makes the wash
ing more difficult. After washing thor
oughly with warm water rinse thor
oughly with warm or hot water in
which washing powder has been dis
solved at the rate OF one pound to If
teen gallons Of water. After the YES
sells have been treated In this way they
should be rinsed out with a little cold
water to free them of the washing
powder solution. This treatment is
much easier than II reads. In fact, IL
requires but very little more work than
when the steam jet is used and is near
ly as efficient.-Charles p. Doane.
