oTen Nights in a Bar Room,

Although tn play has been before
the public for so many years, still
there are few plays that possess the
drawing powers OF this play today.
The secret of its saccess is that the

dents are familiar to every man, woman
and child IN the country. Mr.. Geyer
has selected his company with the
greatest care, employing only first
class talent. The parade takes place
at noo and band concert at night.
Every boy In the country can afford
to see ''1en Nights in a Bar ROOM
played under a large waterproof tent
al the price of admission, which is
only rs cents for adults; children 10
cents; children under six years free.
Come and bring your whole family.

The WAY 10 Work.

From an Exchange.
Do it cheeriully, even if it Is not
e~ongeuial.
Do it in the spirit of an artist not an
artisan.
Make it a stcpplng-stOne to some
thing higher.
Eudeavor to do 1t better than it has
ever been done before.
Make perfection your aim and be
satisfied with nothing less.
Do not try to do 1t with = part of
yourselt-the weaker part.
Keep yourself in condition to do It
as we'll as it can be done.
Regard yourself as a cO-worker with
the Creator OF the universe.
Believe IN its worth and dignity, no
matter how humble it may be.
Recognize that work is the thing
that dignifes and ennebles life.
Accept the d%isagreeable part as we'll
as the agreeable part.
Choose, if it is possible the vocation
that nature has fitted you for.
See how much you can put into 1t
instead of how much you can take
from it.
Remember that it is only through
your work that you can grow to your
full height.
Remember that work we'll done is
the highest testimonial of character
you can receive.
Remember that every vocation has
some advantages not found IN any
other.
Train the eye, the ear, the hands,
the mind-all the facultles-in the
faithful doing of it.
Use It as a tool TO develop the
strong points Of your character and to
eliminate the weak ones.
