THE GOOD THINGS WE HAVE MISSED.

Ah, how we pity our poor selves
In looking back along the days.
We think of joys we might have had,
OF blessings that had made us glad
II we had travelled other ways;
We sigh Ger chances that were lost
And fret and grumble and persist,
AS men have always heretofore,
In vainly, sadly counting DER
The many good things we have misseo.
We mourn the dead past and forget
The splendid future that remains;
Upon the fates our blame is tossed
For all the profits we have lost,
But never credit for our gains;
We name the old, lost chances DER
And, every day, add to the list
Forgetting all the joys we've had
In looking back and feeling sad
Because of good things we have missed.

IWIXT LOVE AND DUTY
AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS
The PLAY by Home Talent Mas Not
Accorded Deserved Support.
Cleared $1,000

The war drama given here last Fri
day and Saturday nights, entitled
"'Twixt Love and Duty or "The Con-
federate Spy" was not given the de-
served support due from public IN
which such an object that should have
been popular was at stake.
The play was given for the beneht OF
Company Z, that is, the proceeds were
to go towards defraying the expenses of
necessary improvements to be made
upon the armory. Financially the show
was a decided failure, but from an ar
tistic point OF view it was the equal II
not the superior OF any dramatic play
vet presented to the Yakima public by
home talent. The consensus OF opinion
from those who saw the performance is
substantially to the effect that the play
was well sustained in every character.
A. A. Tylee, as the drafted Dutchman
played like a professional and kept the
house IN a merry mood when he APP
peared on the stage, which was often.
Miss Lois Whittle drew merited applause
as the southern sweetheart OF Luke L.
Linn who PLAYED the part OF Yankee
Captain. Mrs. Linn made an ideal
mother and acted her role with intense
feeling. Mrs. J. B. Burns, who in the
first act, as a Union lady, presented the
flag to Colonel Willard, CORA Huxtable,
who is to be commended) appeared to
her usual advantage in beauty and

grace and as the Irish servant girl in
the last act was at once the center of
attraction. Attorney l.. O. Meigs, as
General Banks, interpreted his part
wi h dramatic ability and no one could
have been selected who would have
eclipsed his acting. W. A. Erwin
played the Confederate spy, one of the
principal parts of the drama. Shirley
Parker, as ''Clay" the darkey could not
have been improved upon. Mrs. Harry
Murchie, as the sister of charity, and
Miss Birdie Bartholet. as the Goddess
of Liberty, were instrumental in pro-
ducing some very effective tableaus.
Taken as whole the play was phe-
nomenal success.

development OF any community. OF
how, the fact OF a fine library would en-
nance in value the property of the town ;
of its advertising advantages, and OF
how such an institution when fairly
started and figuratively speaking, "put
on its feet and given boost" must
prove lasting, and closed his remarks
by showing how the securing of this
institution can be made possible. BY
the city's agreeing to appropriate $1,000
each year az 10 per cent maintenance
fund on an investment of $4,000 to be
donated by Andrew Carnegie, and $500
to be subscribed by the citizens, Of
which $500 has already been subscribed
for site, North Yakima may safely
look forward to the time in the near
future when it is to be the proud pos
sesor of fine public library.
