MADE A HIT.

Among other interesting situations,
"a Thoroughbred Tramp contains a
thrilling race between a woman on
horseback and a fast flying express
train. The sound of the on-coming
train is accompanied by the hoof beats
of its speedy rival of flesh and blood.
As this race was progressing in a
nearby town a well-known gentleman
was seer to gradually rise as the scene
progressed. Just as the light was
flashing along the track and the noise
of the on-rushing train was drowning
the hoof beats Of the horse, the old
fellow sprang to his feet and waving
his arms yelled: Come on here gal
conn on here-or dern you you'll
be Late The girl came on in tim 9,
but she didn't make half as big a hit
as the old gentleman.
This excellent company appears at
the armory, Devils Lake. Saturday,
