When a play can carry us away
from the humdrum of every day ex-
istence in the city to the quiet OF
a fall evening down on the farm
and back to childhood's fleeing hours,
it has indeed accomplished something
by which it may be remembered. To
these scenes does Sweet Clover
carry it's hearers and those who have
seen Otis B. 1hayer's massive pro-
duction of this wholesome and home
like play never fail to sing it's praises
whenever mentioned. Sweet Clover
will be the offering at the opera
house on Monday, Aug. 80, and will
be an event in the present dramatic
season. The same original cast will
be seen in Mr.. Thayer's support, with
the addition of Gertrude Bondhill,
who is the Lois of this years COM
pany. An entire new outfit of seen
cry has been made for the present
year. This is one attraction that can
and is guaranteed to fulfill every
promise made for it. You cam get tick

Called Royal" Palms Because OF
Their Uselessness.
Prof. Martin G. Brumbaugh, ex-com-
missioner of education in Porto Rico.
is democrat of the democrats, and
therefore delights in this story:
About week after arrived in
Porto Rico" said he, Il took trip
along the beautiful military road from
San Juan into the interior of the
island. The tropical vegetation was
luxuriant and my attention was drawn
most particularly to some tall trees
with slender stems and Towering
stalks that grew along the road in
the greatest profusion.
What kind of trees are those?
asked an army man who accompanied
me.
Those are royal palms.
And why do you call them royal
palms?'
We'll, you see, all the rest of the
trees down here are good for some
thing, but as these just stand around
and look pretty, and are otherwise
absolutely useless, the title royal"
seems to fit EN- exactly New

The Parsimony of Wealth.

Upon the occasion of the presenta-
ton of an expensive loving cup few
nights ago to a merchant who was
celebrating the semi-centennial ami
versary of his entry into business the
recipient gave to the donors, his en-
ployes, advice on how to accumulate
wealth. Many of those present had
been identified with the firm headed
by the cup received upward of quar-.
ter of century.
Croesus dilated in extenso on the
importance of observing frugality in
small things, especially until the
nucleus of a fortune had been estab-
lished. He instanced as object les.
sons two points in his career. When
incanaescent mantels were introduced
the magnate hesitated about adopting
them in the counting room because Of
the expense involved. Only when it
was demonstrated that economy could
be effected would he apply them to
gas jets. During the Spanish war he
paid the help in cash to save the cost
of the revenue stamp tax; whereas,
formerly and since check payments
were made.

wife said sternly.
That's right, my dear. was swal-
lowed by whale, and just have been
released after serving three days

81 don't believe any such nonsense.
Why should a whale swallow you?
You don't look good enough to eat"
81 can't help that; it's fact. If you
had only been on hand with your x
rays you could have seen me in that
fishy prison
Jonah, you weren't swallowed by
a whale. You've been out swallowing
things yourself, and you know it. That
will do. No more lies, please"
And then Jonah stopped talking, be-
cause he knew that Mrs. ]. wouldn't
believe his tale. even if she afterward
read it in the Bible.
