TWO NOTED COMEDIANS
Murray and Mack Scored a Big Hit at the
Opera House Last Night.

Those two noted comedians, Muir
ray and Mack, surrounded by COM
pany of clever singers and graceful
dancers, scored a big hit at the opera
house last night. These comedians
have toured Texas for the past four
teen consecutive seasons, but this
was their first visit to Waxahachie
and judging from the hilarious re-
ception given them by packed house
their work was pleasing and satisfy
ing. They are presenting this sea-
son a brand new comedy entitled
Around the Town" but it would
probably be just as entertaining, con-
tain just as many laughs and side
aches, under some other name It
is play without any plot to speak
Of. but the dialogue is brisk and the
many complications which arise keep
the audience in a continuous uproar
From the opening 10 the close laughs
are distributed every few minutes.
Murray and Mack need no news
paper commendatiOu. They are
known from one end of the country
to the other as two of the most fam
Gus comedians behind the footlights
They are all right and they have a
vehicle this season that Ia as good
as any in which they have been
exploited.
There are some exceptionally clev-
or singing numbers introduced dur
ing the piece. notably among them
being the selections by Miss Mayme
Taylor In the second act Miss Pur-
cells baritone solo also made "A hit

the leading sOubrette role, the stars

ability. She is ytvaciuus. sings
agreeably and dances gracefully.
The Trocadero Quartette contrib
uted one of the most enjoyable num-
bers on the program and received
probably the most enthusiastic ap-
plause
The real novelty of the production

The STRENGTH Of Michael AnoeIo.

Michael Angelo relied almost en-
irely upon form-the form of the fig
are and of the draperies, writes
Charles H. Caffin in ST. Nicholas. He
told Pope Julian H.. when the latter
requested him to paint the ceiling of
The Sistine chapel at Rome, that he
was not painter, but sculptor; yet,
after he had shut himself UP for four
years-from 1903 to 1512-and the
scaffold was removed, result had
been achieved which is without paral.
lei in the world. Very wonderful is
the work which Michael Angelo
spread over this vast area of 5000
square feet. The fact that there are
349 principal figures, many of colos-
sal size, besides a great number of
others introduced for decorative eff
feet, and that the creator of this vast
scheme was only 33 when he began
his work-all this is marvellous, prodi.
gious, and yet not so marvellous as
the variety of expression in the fig.
ures of which Jeremiah is only one
figure. in a small side arch

as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a Kan

II was great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought / could not eat a
meal without it. But l found at last
it was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart. to which was added, two years
ago, a chronic sour stomach. The
baby was born seven months ago. and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf-
fered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from me.

with me. Then turned to Postum

Argentina has the greatest number
of sheep of any country but derives
relatively the least benefit from them
This is due, in part, to the quality not
