COLE OLSON"

A popular actor in a popular play
will form a strong attraction at the
Auditorium tonight and tomorrow
night when Ben Hendricks, far and
away the best of Swedish dialect
actors, will present the well known
and well liked comedy drama. "Ole Oh
son." and will be aided by an excel
lent company which includes an espe-
cially attractive feature in the Swed-
ish Ladies' quartet.
AS "Ole Olson" was the first in the
series of Swedish plays in this coun-
try. so 1t has retained it's popularity
and prestige, and with the frequent
introduction of new material and the
occasional Frightening influence lent
by the injection of new ideas it has
maintained its vogue. No claim Is
made that it attains the high mark
In literary excellence, or that IL
thrills by the epigrammatic discus
sion of any problem of doubtful
| morals.
On the other hand. it presents 6
simple. homely story of every day
life. in which comedy and pathos are
| naturally blended and are offered IL
| stage pictures that charm by theil
naturalness. The development o!
"Ole Olson" from an awkward, unso
phisticated immigrant lad into ;
bright, quick-witted and up-to-dat'
Swedish is the keynote o,
| the story.

and 1t will grow as the child grows.
The savings grow even after the child

Odell Notes.

The Christmas festivities at Odell
were satisfactory beyond expectations.
The tree exercises on Christmas eve
we're delightful. The church was taxed
to its utmost limit. Aside from the pro-
gramme, We were favored with recita,
tions from two trained el0cutionists,
Miss Nette Kemp and Marguritte Shell
ley, both OF Portland, but whose child
hood days were spent at Odell Miss
Blanche Wilson made the third drilled
elocutionist. 1t seldom happens in
country place that you can find such
talent, and especially three at one gath
ering. The crowd showed its apprecia-
tion, gave them cordial reception and
very kindly welcomed them back to
their childhood homes.
To Odell these Homecoming days were
full OF pleasuse. The return of many
loved ones to the homestead, coupled
with parties and entertainments, round
ed out these holidays until they sped by
all too swiftly.
Saturday evening the Goth, the Union
church was again packed to the door by
large crowd in attendance at the en-
tertainment advertised to be given by
Miss Nettie Kemp. But OWING to a
severe cold and extreme hoarseness
she was unable to fill the engagement,
two selections out of eight or nine being
all she could render These were cheered
to the echo. Fortunately for Miss
Kemp, Marguirette Shelley came to her
rescue Embarrassing though it was to
fill another's engagement) and an in
teresting programme was given. Most
OF Odell's people were out and enjoyed
the programme immensely. Rev. Troy
Shelley was in good voice and rendered
two vocal solos that reflected credit upon
him as singer, and awakened tender
recollections with the writer OF these
notes of the days of childhood down on
the farm, when we went hand in hand
over fields Of pleasure; when response
bllity and care were strangers, and life
was only a bright illusive dream. o,
how in such moments We vainly strive
to pull back the screen and take run
over the green hills of the past The
stern decree of fate forbids, and as we
listen to the song, "A Letter from
Home" we settle back into our seat
with sigh that is not counterfeit and
wonder how it is possible that we can
be so near together and yet so far apart.
But remembering that "The post of
duty is the post of honor" we submit.
would not forget to mention the
sweet, enchanting music by Miss Bertha
Lafferty.
Miss Nettie Kemp returned yesterday
to Portland and John X. Roberts today.
Others will soon follow, and within a
few days we will again settle down to
the routine duties OF life, not forgetting
that each one of these Christmas tides
draws us farther out into the deep sea
Of life.

Dukes Valley Notes.

The weather was very wintry Satur-
day. We all looked for storm, but
none came.
Rev. A. A. Beery came out Sunday
to fill his appointment, but there was a
misunderstanding, and so nobody was
there. He left an appointment for Jan
uary 2.
Well we had good time at the Christ
mas tree Thursday last.
Friday six of our Dukes valley hunt
ers, by name, Walter and Jethro Massee,
Fay and Wilbur Carnahan, William
Dodge and John Murphy, spent day in
the woods. They did not see much of
anything except grouse. All game got
away with their precious little lives but
two quail.
We have missed some of our Sunday
school pupils the last three or four Sun
days. We would like to have them
with us again.
1t was judged that we had the best
literary last Saturday evening that we
have had this season.
John Dodson has returned home from
the mill. He walked all the way to

very tender regard for the dogs, as boys

said dogs but hled them Immediately
