LITTLE JOHNNY JONES"
New Years Week At the Chestnut Street
Theatre, PhiIadt lphia

The Yankee Doodle Comedian,
George NJ. Cohan, with his extraordi-
narily successful production, Little
Johnny JONES'" a play with music,
will be the New Years week attraction
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Phila-
delphia. No musical play of recent
years has created more comment, or
excited more enthusiasm than Little
Johnny JONES'" while George COhan
as the little American jockey abroad,
has scored the greatest of his several
recent triumphs. There is a certain
individuality about Mr.. Cohan's work
unlike that of any other comedian.
Whether dancing, jesting or singing,
it is always his original methods and
the Cohanesque style of doing things
that has stamped this young actor as
one of the most popular stars of the
day. "Little Johnny JONES'" in Mr..
Cohan's quick and original style, tells
the story of an American Jockeys ex-
periences in England, where two acts
of the play take place. The plot is
we'll connected, the characters in the
play we'll drawn, while the music is
one of the delightful features. Mr..
COhan has composed some very lively,
tuneful melodies, which is sung by a
gOrgeOusly costumed chorus of some
sixty odd people. The ensemble of
show girls is said to be an emporium
of beauty. an array of feminine loveli-
ness the equal of which has not been
in any musical play for years, This
will be Mr.. Cohan's last appearance
in Philadelphia for many months as he
will shortly take his entire company to
the Adelphi Theatre, London, for a
lodg engagement. AS this last engage
ment in Philadelphia will be limited to
one week, it is advisable to write for
seats at once 80 that desirable reserva'
ton be made.

tanned that the youth of the defend
ants could not be urged in their be-
halt, and that many of the worst
crimes had been committed by boys
under II. Chief Justice Start inter-
rupted, saying:
1t seems from your enumeration of in
stances that these crimes continue in
spite Of the fact that the criminals are
hanged. Don't you think the best way to
prevent such crimes would be to remove
the temptation from young boys and sur
round them with such environments that
they will have no inclination to do such
things. T think if the laws against SELL
the dens of iniquity were closed, there
would be fewer crimes of this nature.
Senator Lord followed this lead in
his plea for the boys. He declared
that the public officers Of Owatonna
had refused to enforce the laws of the
state and the city. He had indisput-
able evidence that Henry Krier sold
liquor to the Nelson boys on the very
day they killed him.
Senator Lord attacked the testi-
mony which convicted the brothers.
especially that Of William Sutton
their companion, who turned states
evidence and is now serving a term
in saltwater. He has visited Sutton
twice, and says that on both occa.
sions, in the presence Of Warden VOL.
fer, Sutton wept and declared that al
he testified to on the stand was un-
true.
John l.. Gibbs, former lieutenant

There is no specific for
consumption. The nearest
approach to a cure is right
living and SCOTS Emulsion.
No matter what the treat
ment may be SCOTS Emul-
sion will prove a valuable
addition. 1t has often turned
the scale of health the right
way. Because SCOTS Emul-
sion contains the pure cod
liver oil it furnishes heat and
fat. The hypophosphites pro-
vide tissue-food, blood-food
and marrow-food. The COM
bination of the two represents
a wonderful form Of nourish-
ment and one that can be
readily taken and retained at
any stage of the disease.
SCOTS Emulsion gives best
results when used most reg
ularly. Made a part of the
consumptive's regular diet it
will invariably afford relief.
Occasional use of SCOTS
Emulsion is a test unfair to
the Emulsion and the patient.
