1t is told that Russell Sage said that
he never cared to know anyone whs
would not be of use to him. Possibly
by use" he was specially thinking
of pecuniary advantage. Like many
millionalres his horizon is apt to be
bounded by cash.
But, believing that there are many
uses to be derived from ones ae
quaintances besides merely pecuniary
ones. It seems strange that SO few
ever think of making the best Of 9th

the other day confessed that he owed
an immense amount of his success to
the inspiration he derived from the so
ciety of an old crippled lady whom he
made point of visiting two or three
times n week.

This goes to show that with lit

room served as kitchen, dining room
and living room, while the loft had the
ore bed occupied by both men and
women. The bed was perhaps twelve
feet vide and was made entirely of
balsam boughs and blankets.
After a few moments of intense
thought and whisperings the women
climbed the ladder to the loft, select

ened a few belts and buttons and re-
tired. The reflected light from the
broken stove below had a weird effect
in the loft. Squirrels capered over the
roof and aroused the nervous. Finally
the men climbed up and crawled under
their blankets.

long and 100 pounds in weight. This
rope controls the center of gravity of

of the rope is tied thin line which
extends to the operator sitting in the
car toward the stern of the craft. The
weight of the rope Is so great that
when it hangs straight down, the cen

THE PLAY TONIGHT
WAY DOWN EAST

VIM. A. Brady'S successful produc-
ton, " Way Down East" which will
be seen here later in the season,
draws the element of its popularity
from the simplicity of its story, and
its absorbing interest. Real human SEN
timent goes straight to the heart and
this quality, so marked in " Way
Down East" is one of the factors that
has helped the play to fame and for
tune.
Jos. r. Grismer is responsible for
nearly all the farm realism which
makes Way Down East so alluring.
1t was he who introduced the quaint
types of New England characters; it
was he who devised so much of the
by-play that gives s~pontaneity to the
action of the drama: it vas he who
elaborated and staged the play for
VIM. A. Brady, and it was he-now II
of Mr.. Brady's partners who constant
ly watches over the performances to
see they are always kept up to a high
level.
Way Down East has had six ex-
traordinary seasons of success. 1t
will be the attraction at the Opera
House tonight Friday Feb. II. The
production from a scenic standpoint
will compare favorably with any play
presented in many years. Seats on
sale at Laramie Drug store.
