remedy the cough Of tuberculosis patients

elements Of the cure are the long stay il,

AT THE THEATERS
Observation-Disclosures"

Cleopatra, beautiful amid her surround
ings Of ancient regal splendor, was artis-
ttcally portrayed by Florence Stone last
evening at the opening performance Of
cleopatra" at the Lyceum theater. Miss
Stone was greeted by one Of the largest
houses the Lyceum has seen this season,
and her presentation deserved it. She
was the ideal, lovely, yet passionate,
queen Of the Nile, and thruout the play
thrilled her audience. She seems just
suited to the role. -
And in A. Byron Bea sley Miss Stone
had strong, manly Marc Anthony to
charm with her beauty. Mr.. Beasley gave
Miss Stones dramatic talent strong sup
port, and seemed all that could be asked.
Apart from the characters Of Cleopatra
and Marc Anthony, there is perhaps but
one other role Of Importance in the play.
And that is the slave, Kephtan. Ben
johnson appears as Kephran and contrives
to make a success Of the part.
The play holds the other members OF
the company in the background, but as a
whole they give worthy support to Miss
Stone. The stage settings and costumes
are excellent. The storm in the fifth act
| is particularly well staged and worthy Of
| comment

MINNESOTA POLITICS
Boom for John A. johnson Of st. Peter
May Get Local Party Organization by
Default-ProbabIe Successors to Elliott
+ and Jageard" on District Bench.

Many democrats are anxious to see John
A. johnson Of ST. Peter rise to the situa
ton and come out as a candidate for gov
ernor.
The st. Peter editor Is one Of the strong
men in the democratic party Of the state,
with good legislative record and known
toS be conservative and clear headed. He
is a good debater, and his only disquali-
tlcation Is that he is not man Of wealth
to contribute to the campaign, which is
likely to be fundless movement.
Mr.. Johnson has many republican friends
who have already been urging him to get
into the field. There is some talk Of
bringing him out as an independent can
didate, without the name democrat" In
order to draw more strongly from the re-
publican vote. and to allow republicans to
appear prominently in his campaign.
This. however, is touchy subject with
democrats, who will insist on having a
candidate Of their own, and If Johnson
| should make up his mind to run 1t would
be doubtless with a straight party desig-
nation.
The new republican county committee
will organize in a few days, building UP
from the newly elected precinct commit
tees.
There is considerable discussion now
as to the management of the local cam
paign. 1t is considered fitting that II
Dunn's nomination for governor. The men
who were thrown out of the state con-
vention do not feel a pressing anxiety tc
| carry the burden of the campaign this
year, and it is quite likely that the Dunn
men will be allowed to take charge Of
the organization by default, and see what
they can do with It, Tom Girling is promi-
nently mentioned for the craftsmanship.
| Even in a contest, the Dunn men would
be likely to win, as the wards have ar
equal show in the organization and the
heavy Collins wards, the fourth, fifth anc
eighth, would have no more influence
than the first or the sixth.
The promotion Of Judges Elliott an6
Jaggard to the supreme bench will NEAR
two district judges to be appointed. Al
1t turns out, it is likely that one Dunn
man and one Collins man will benefit BY
the change. Judge Jaggard is candidate
to take the term beginning next January
and will have to resign before that time
In that event it is considered probable
that Oscar Hallam of st. Paul, one Of the
strongest Collins men in the capital city
will be elevated to the bench by Governor
Van SAINT.
In Hennepin, Judge Elliott does not ad
vance until year from next January
In case Dunn Is elected, 1t is understood
that he will appoint Judge John H. Steele
to the vacancy. Charles B. Cheney.

Judge Elliott was struck by lightning
He and his friends, or at least the most
Of them, for they were nearly all Col
Inns men, had given up and withdrawn
from the convention, seeing no chance OF
success for him, but the ousting Of the
regular Hennepin delegation was such g
rank injustice that the Dunn men were
ready to do something to smooth over the
situation as far as possible. That was
Elliott's opportunity, and some of his
friends, seeing it, made the most Of it
with Charles B. ten miles away and ut
terly unaware Of what was taking place
in his interest. E#

Pesslrnisn Versus Optimism, or Retasts
OF Omar by Way of change-The One
Hundredth Anniversary Of Hawthorne's
Brth-A Column Of Frontier Stories.

The optinist is only set the firmer in
optimism by the argument of the pessim-
list. The pessimist's appeal to reason by
his logic or his appeal to the emotions by
his poetry rebound from the mind and
heart Of the optimist, leaving both mind
and heart convinced that the pessimist is
altogether wrong in his hopelessness or
bravado, whichever attitude he may take
toward life.
I sit by my study window and watch
the west redden as the sun sinks. In a
little while all its red and golden glories
are gone-turned to cold gray, passing

A volume of short stories may be Xix
ened to a chain; if one link is found
wanting, the strength Of the other links
is wasted. If, when we have read one
story which is Of inferior merit, we do
not judge the other stories by the
impression Of the unleavened one, it is
certainly a proof of the high level of a
superior mind. 1t is, in fact, most I'M
fortunate that books are so judged, but
it is nevertheless true.
In The FrontIersmen, the first story,
"The Linguister,'' is the most pretentious
and the most unsatisfactory. 1t Is a tale
of the harmless Wiles of a woman, and
thus the clinaxes should not necessarily
be striking. The fault or lack or art lies
in the fact that the events leading up to
the climaxes are strenuous, and there
is a lack of the iron to make them real.
Ralph Emsden, in one sense the hero,
is the cause Of the action of the story.
The period is in the colonial days. Ems
den and some companions had ridden
many days from their little settlement
on a hunting trip. He had dismounted
after shooting a wolf, when suddenly the
cavalcade of hunters was stampeded by
a wild charge Of cattle, which had been
frightened by the shot. The presence of
| the cattle was unsuspected by Emsden,
which in itself was a most remarkable
mistake for woodsman. Emsden's horse
]
he was left on foot many miles from
| home.
| HE felt it an i'll chance that left him
thus alone and afoot in this dense wild
erness, several days travel from the sta
ton
How many of us would have felt 1t an
Ill chance? Could not some Of us at least
have conjured up a fervid ejaculation?
Now 1t so happens that the next story
! "A Victor at Chungke,'' is one of the best
| short stories that have appeared for a
long time. 1t is imaginative, strong and
| original. The author shows an intricate
knowledge Of the time and the scene OF
the action, Cherokee town some 50C
miles from the royal province of the Caro-
linas. 1t is the story Of the awakening
of a warrior who had been saved when
a, boy by the Indians after a general mas
sacre of a white village.

excellences of "A Victor at Chungke
