 Praise, in truth a good deal of it, is duo for the direction of this production. The detail work is convincing and pleasing, and the ensemble is such as commands the interest and wins admiration.
 Best of good cast are Miss Alice Johnson as Nancy Moves and George W. Barnum as Bartley Swift.

 A large number of the members of the Baptist congregation gathered in the new Sabbath School rooms last evening for an old time handshaking. It was the idea of Dr. Dawson to have the mem bers meet each other in an informal way so as to become better acquainted. the membership having increased so rapidly in the last few years that many are un- acquainted. The assembly gathered in the church auditorium at o'clock and listened to a most delightful song serv- Ice rendered by the choir. after which the congregation was dismissed with prayer by pr. B. r.

A BIG DIVIDEND.

The Standard Oil Company paid
out last year in dividends $44.-
600, 900, which was forty-four per
cent of its capital stock of $780,
100000. OF this amount John
D Rockefeller received about $15.-
600, 600, as he holds about thirty
three per cent of the stock. 1t is
claimed that all the stockholders
share i'll the earnings of the COM
pany, which carries no surplus.
In the last seven years the Stard-
ard Oil Company has paid in divi-
dends more than $275,OO 900,
that is twice as much as its whole
capital stock and $75 100000 in
addition. A fraction of a cent q
gallon advance in the price of oil
means millions to the sharehold-
ers, and this advance can easily
be made at any time, because the
Standard Oil practically controls
all the important oil supplies in
the world as, yet developed, except
those In Russia.

A COMMA.

the omission of comma in the
law on this point. Recently the
New Jersey authorities applifd for
the extradition of one Fred Shiv-
ers who was charged with wife de-
sertion, and Governor Cummins
of Iowa, denied the application be-
cause of the omission of com i.
ma and the insertion of con ,unc-
ton in the New Jersey law. The
Des Moines, Ia. correspondent for
the St. Louis Post. Dispatch says ::
"The New Jersey law, on wife de-
sertion provides for the punish
ment of men who desert their
wives and leave the state Gov
ernor Cummins points out that
leaving the state must be part Of
the crime. therefore the crime
could not be committed till the
offender had left the state, and,
having left the state before the
crime was com mitted, he cannot
be extradited and returned to tho
state"

WISDOM IN FARMING.

Col. J. B. Killebrew, in South
ern Farm Magazine, of Baltimore,
says:
1.-THE farmers of the South have
arrived at that stage in their agri-
cultural progress when the system
practiced for more than 100 years
of clearing new land and turning
out old must be Abandoned and a
more rational system adopted. To
wear out land and then abandon
it is barbarism-a practice, in
deed, unfit to be tolerated by an
enlightened people The earth
butchery of the past must be
atoned for by the earth-nursery of
the present. The cruel stabs given
to mother earth should be bound
up and her wounds healed and her
health restored, and then she will
be grateful for the consideration
and care which she has received,
and will pour out to her cherishing
children the richest bounties of
her exuberant bosom.

A merchant recently said to the edi-
tor of Ad-Art that he was afraid to stay
out an issue of his local paper because
that might be just the date when some
psople could be induced to buy, and
the absence of the announcement from
that one issue might be just the thing
which would cause the wait-awhile
habit. The every week advertising
may not convince all the people, but it
is just what makes the general impress

Chicagoans Live Longer Lives.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Chicago health
department has discovered that an av.
erage Chlcagoan OF today lives twice
as long az his grandfather, aud that
the ratio Ia steadily increasing. In It's
weekly bulletin the department says;
statistics show an increase In the
average duration OF human life In Chi
cago IN less than single generation.
81 years-of III per cent, or OF more
than double In 1908 than In 1872, In
1908 the average at death was I? per
cent greater than In 1892. GO per cent
greater than In 1882, and, as already
said. III per cent greater than In 1879"
The cause Of this increase OF vitality,
according 10 the bulletin, Is due to the
Introduction OF vaccination and the an
tltoxlns, the discovery OF antlseptics
and anaesthesia. and most important
of all, the recognition OF the lmpor-
lance OF cleanliness, personal and cir
oumstantial"
