"Capt. January"

One of the juvenile books recently
received at the Oskaloosa Public Lii
brory is Captain January" by Lau'
ra E. Richards. 1t is a modern story
dealing with life IN a light house,
The unity of the story lies in the
identity of the Star. An old captain,
in charge of a lighthouse, having
saved a baby from a wreck during a
storm, cares for her and she grows
up to be a bright girl Of ten years
when her relatives find her. She,
however, refuses to go with. them,
and they, seeing how the old man
loves her, do not insist. Only at the
death of the captain some time later
will she go to her relatives. Little
character description is given, yet one
has a good picture of almost all of
the characters in his mind from their
words and actions. Captain Janu-
airy" is without a doubt one of the
best juvenile stories ever written. In
fact, it is read and enjoyed by many
older persons. The humor and pathos
Of the story are excellently brought
out. The story is interesting and In,
spring and will well repay the read.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buOyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

Macbeth

John Griffith and his company
gave a very creditable perform
ance of Shakespeare's immortal
tragedy, macbeth, " at the Cam
den theater last night, and he re-
ceived a very cordial reception,
curtain calls being frequent. The
audience was not large, but made
up in enthusiasm what it lacked
in numbers. Mr.. CIR fifth is very
capable actor. He has real abil-
ity, a fine stage presence, and he
has come to the front through
constant industry and steadfast
devotion to his art. His concep-
ton of the bloody, ambitious and
superstitious Scottish tyrant was
along the conventional lines, but
it was very satisfying. He look
ed every inch the character and
his reading of the lines showed a
perfect understanding of the diff
cult role. He rose admirably to
the strong scenes in the murder
of King Duncan, in the Banquo-
haunted feast, and in the final act
where Macduff lays him low. The
Banquo scene was his finest piece
of work. and Mr.. Griffith's por-
trayal of the terror-stricken mon
arch hunted by the bleeding
ghost Of his murdered friend was
very fine and quite terrifyin" in
is remarkable intensity Mr..
Griffith carried his audience away
by his splendid bit Of acting and
received two enthusiastic curtain
calls. Miss Louise Ripley, as
Lady Macbeth, shared the honors
with the star in her fine rendition
of the role. She is a charming
young woman in face and figure,
and a wealth of black hair. AS
Lady Macbeth she seemed born to
command and was, indeed, a very
tigress in the lust for power,
which overwhelmed all natural
feelings and led her weak-willed
husband to attempt the throne
through a sea Of blood. Edward
p. Sullivan was very good as
Macduff. and gave sr' did pOr-
trayal of the part lhe rest Of
the cast was satisfactory. The
witch scenes were sufficiently
gruesome to satisfy the most ex-
acting. and some Of Lewis Morri-
son s methods introduced were not
seen heretofore. Mr.. Griffith and
his company deserve a successful

the prospects for good season. IF we
can give them a team which will remain
in the first division they will be satisfied.
We have won the pennant the past two
years and our people realize that we
cannot do SO every year.
But we are going to try to, and we
have a good team to start with There
were two or three teams in the league
last season that were stronger, individ-

weak, however.
This year we are going to have a
tie shy on pitchers, and there are one or
two towns in the league who expect to.
show US the pace. Both Duluth and
Grand Forks have strong teams, and it
will keep us busy to stay shoulder to
shoulder with them"
If the weather permits, the Winnipeg
team will go out to Lexington park for a
good workout today, and tomorrow they
will play in the first game of the season
with the Prairie league team against
them. They will also play the Prairie
leaguers at Lexington Sunday afternoon.
