Seeker and Toby are two of the quaint characters in "A Human Slave" which comes to the Grand Opera house next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and which will be at once popular with Thursday nights audience. This young man and woman are bit uncultured, it is true. but under a rough and rugged exterior they are as true as steel. It is the very poor who know how to be kind, to be generous, when generosity hurts themselves, and a telling picture of genuine sacrifice is shown by the roles of Seeker and Toby in this fine pro- duction. James McElhern will be seen as Seeker and Miss Edna Reming as Toby. There will be a matinee Satur- day.

erand opsra House.

s'Why Girls Leave Home" is the novel title of a drama which will be seen at the Grand Opera house the first three days of this week. The theme is taken from life and so handled that nature flows through every part of it. The plot hinges upon young girl who sub mits to the attentions of a travelling salesman against the wishes of her family. Her elder brother in particu- lar, friend of her betrothed and the man of the house, takes upon himself to rule her with rod of iron, to which she as resolutely objects and out of which grows the denoument of the play. Among the members of the company appear the names of Walter Walker, Hugh Cameron, Walter Gilbert, Oscar Briggs, Philip Smalley, Ellen Boyer, Anna Marie Schaeffer, Gauntier Pot ter and Florence Lois Weber. The scenic embellishments are said to be unusually attractive, the cafe scene in the second act being particularly effee- tive. This is from the hand of the well known Frank Dodge and is claimed to be one of his master efforts. Matinee Wednesday.

There Will be New Presbyterian Edifiee.

At a congregational meeting in the
Presbyterian church last Sunday, the
report OF the committee having in
charge the matter OF suggesting a
means to procure the building of a new
church was read and adopted after
some good natured, and kind spirited
discussion. The Presbyterian congre-
CATION is in earnest in their desire to
build and before another twelve month
they will have in the beautiful grove
owned by them church building
which will be an ornament to the town
and in keeping with its progress, ard it
will also be a beacon light to guide the
unwary to better life. The ediiice
will breathe renewed life into the
membership, and they will become an
active, energetic and positive force
that will crowd out lethargy and create
an enthusiastic CONGREGATIONAL life.

Shopping Traits.

A London paper quotes shopgirl as
saying that the Englishwoman can
generally be persuaded to take this or
that, whether she wants It or not, and
that she does not often see that she
COTS value for her money. The English
arc also courteous and considerate. 1t
appears that Americans, on the other
hand, give the greatest trouble OF all.
They are afraid Of being cheated, they
want to make sure before they buy
that they could not get the same thing
Cor less money elsewhere, and they are
never courteous. As shoppers it IS
Frenchwomen, however, who command
the greatest admiration, we are told
They always know exactly What tpeY
want and will take nothing else.

cordially invited.
Dear Sir: What's the penalty for
making or selling shor-measure paint
in your state:
And does it make any difference, il
three-fourths of the paints are short
measure?
Is seven pints full-gallon or a fool
gallon?
WHAT'S. the penalty for making or
selling whitewash for paint?
Is whitewash paint, if mixed with a
little paint and labeled ''Pure mixed
paint" or something like that?
But we don't intend to 60 into the
business. We make Devoe lead and
zinc full-measure and true.
Yours truly,

That twelve blue envelopes, suitably
endorsed, be placed in said packages
in which the contributions shall be
made.
3. We recommend that an earnest
effort be made to make the cash por-
tion of the subscription on Dec. 10Th
1904. at least Sl500.00. This money can
be placed at compound interest.
4. We recommend the appointment
of committee consisting of five men
and two ladies to select plan for said
church, said plan to be reported back
to the church when finally selected,
said committee to have the architect OF
contractor drawing the plans present
at said meeting to answer all questions
and fully explain plans.
5. The building committee is hereby
directed to employ an architect, not
only to furnish plans. but to supervise
building
6. We recommend that when the
plan is decided upon the said building
committee let the contract OF building
to the lowest responsible contractor.
That if, when all bids are in, the low
est responsible bid is above the cost
recommended herein, said committee
will report back to the church for in
structions.
I. We recommend the appointment
of a finance committee of three, whose
duty it will be to audit the treasurer's
| books quarterly; see in person any his
books may show in arrears on building
subscription, and any member who may
not subscribe and urge the same upon
him or her, and otherwise aid said
treasurer in his duties, and see that all
moneys are promptly invested.
S. AS a business proposition we re-
commend that the money paid in not be
allowed to remain idle even at 4 per
cent, longer than April 1st 1908, and
that the building be commenced on
that day: that when the money in hand
is consumed in the use the trustees OF
church property be directed to mort
gage such property for balance neces-
sary to complete building.
We are firmly convinced that with
united effort this church can be easily
built.
Respectfully submitted,
