Dodge and the Classics.

Sanford Dodge. rural tragedian
of some local reputation, presented
Shakespeare's Macbeth at tie
opera house in this city last Friday
night:
In order to give anything like a
proper presentation of the bard OF
Avon's masterpieces, playhouses
must be used that cost thousands of
dollars instead of hundreds, as the
case OF small towns where Mr..
Dodge plays. Again, these plays re-
qulre more people to properly pre-
sent than country patronage could
even feed, to say nothing OF salaries,

If Truth Were Told.

Here is what the Oregonian thinks
would sometimes happen if the edl-
tor had nerve enough to tell the
truth.
The alleged social leaders OF Bug
town were out in force to attend the
Progressive Euchre CLUB meeting at

evening and went home with q jag
on about midnight to see if 'zose
old hens gone home yet" The prizes
Mrs. Jimson put up caused lot OF
sneering on the part OF the other
ladies, and we're likely holdover
Christmas presents she couldn't pass
on her poor sisters family in Jim
vile. Mrs. Bonnie Oldbird, who
gave the last party, said toe prizes
she gave were worth 1925 moro
than the things last night. A dull
time was bad during the play, and
the first prize was not awarded,
owing to a dispute between Miss
SourIough and Miss Grabbitt, each
claiming the other cheated in her
score: Enough cups and plates
were provided to 90 around at sup

from We editors wife, which she
didn't want to lend, but was pes
