SUMMER PARAsOL BARGAINS.

We have 9 fine fancy summer Parasols we carried over from last season, that we are very anxious to dispose of. You may think it rather queer our offering you these hot weather goods at this time of year when the temperature would rather call for foot warm CTS. Still the prices we make you on these parasols is just as disproportionate to their value, as the severe winter weather we have been having, is in pleasantness, to the balmy days of May. The proposition we make you in order to persuade you to buy now and pack up until needed is that you pay us not half the retail price but just~ one-half the amount we paid to have these beautiful para sols made for us by the factories. This prop osition applies to parasols that sold from $500 up to $17.5O. We make you net price on the plain black or white parasols in China Silk that sold from $1 .25 to $2.98. which although it is not as great reduction as the price we make on the finest grades is certainly snap for you.
 $17.50 Fancy Parasol cost $12.OO, now $500 5000 Fancy Parasol, cost $7.5O, now $3.75 $7.50 Fancy Parasol, cost $4.75, now. .$2.38 $5 % Fancy Parasol, cost $3. 75, now. .$1 .88 $1.98 and $2.98 Fancy Parasols, net PrIce '.'. .Sl.OO $1 .25 and $1.50 Black or White China Silk Parasols with ruffles ..........75 .75c

dreadful accident, to lose a leg, for in- stance, and never be able to go about or to work again. I often think of that If that happened to me I should kill myself. But why speculate?" she added. And with this the secret of the smooth brow, the childlike mouth, the beautiful, nerveless body, the eternal youth, was revealed.
 'T never think of yesterday nor of tomorrow. Today is enough. don't make any plans for the future. I nev- CT have. Perhaps I am something of fatalist. I always think. If make such a plan, and 1t doesn't work out well, shall be disappointed, so I won't make it. It is much better, I think, to be governed by present conditions, and dc what at the time seems best. Is 1t not written: Do not worry about the future. You will meet it if need be with the same reason that you now employ in your present affairs?

 Not so much" she said. "Epictetus was lame and poor and unfortunate, and what he wrote reflected those con- ditions. But Marcus Aurelius was no- ble, and that nobleness seemed only the natural unfolding of his life. He look ed upon everything that happened as a part of the development that we call life."
 And she quoted further from the Ro- man Emperor philosopher:
 Accept the gifts of fortune without pride, and part with them without re- luctance."
 T think" said Miss Russell, "that I could lose whatever have tomorrow and not grieve tor 1t. It would turn to me to be the working out of natural law"
 And again she quoted the stolc philosopher. The words were strange ly incongruous upon the lips of this vital beauty. but she pointed an earn est, convincing finger as she spoke: Act, speak and think as one who knows that he can at any time de- part from life."
 The subject of economy was preached. Miss Russell is understood to be an advocate of economy. She was putting on a big, black velvet hat, a sombre frame for a perfect face, while she talked.
 "Yes, girls should save money" she said. The girl who earns twenty-five dollars a week should save ten. When she earns fifty, she should save twen- ty-fve" She put her hat on as French women do. drawing it up from the back of the head first, poising it daintily at last on top of her head and turning slowly before the duplicate mirror to see that 1t was so placed that it was equally becoming at all angles.

 His pantomimic work, when he awakes from his twenty years sleep in the mountains Is a masterly dis play. Then again, in the last two acts of the play. where he wanders back in to the village of Falling Water and asks for his wife, his daughter Meenie and his old friends, and Is greeted with jeers by the villagers and children of the streets, who poke fun at his weird appearance, he stirs his audience to laughter and tears alternatively; and when the play finally ends happily, the people file out of the theatre with the satisfaction of having been delightful ly entertained by a performance that they will remember as long as they live
 Thomas Jeffersons art is inborn. It has been handed down for four genera tions before him, and in addition to that, he has been brought up under the tuition of his father, one of the greatest masters of stage art ever known. With all of these qualifica- tions and advantages is It to be won dered that he should make such a re. markable success as a star?

Jefferson the First.

Thomas Jefferson, a young man of IS, rode to London in 1746, on one of his fathers farm horses and there met David Garrick, the greatest actor of his time. Jefferson was the wit of Ripton, Yorkshire, and 1t was there that he first made the acquaintance of Garrick. He was struck with the genius of Jefferson and proposed his going on the stage with him, which he accepted. This was the founda- ton of the Jefferson family of actors. Jefferson died in 1907. His family consisted of wife and two sons: the youngest became a minister, and the actor. He was born in 1774.
 Having some difficulty with his fathers second wife, he left England and came to America, arriving in 1797. Joseph Jefferson found lodging in New York, with a Mrs. Fortune. She had two daughters, one Euphemia, who be- came the young comedfan's wife, the other married William Warren, the father of the celebrated and much be- loved comedian of the Boston Muesum This Is where these two talented families of actors became related His second son, Joseph Jefferson the Third was born 1904. He inherited his fathers talent for drawing and paint ing. He married Miss Carnelia Fran ces Thomas, who was the reigning singer in America at that time. She had four children, two of whom died in infancy the other two were Joseph Jefferson the Fourth and Cornelia Jef- ferson.

asThe Runnwaxs- Coming.

Judging from the New Orleans news papers Arthur Dunn i nthe Sixon and Zimmerman musical extravaganza "The Runaways" has scored one of the most pronounced hits ever recorded in that city.
 It seems that since the opening per- formance on Sunday night the theatre has been simply packed to overflow ing. and the seats for the remainder of the week have been sold. This was the first appearance of 'Yhe Runa- ways" in the Crescent City. and the musical comedy was received with en- thusiastic favor. Of the performance The Times Democrat of February 9th said:
 Arthur Dunn in The Runaways' captured the audience last night and a company full of clever individuals made the capture sure"
 The Picayune of the same date said:
 "Pefhaps one of the smoothest ex- travaganzas played here in years is "The Runaways" and the decided hit scored last night will aways be remem- bered. Arthur Dunn was so funny that the smile won't come off in hur- ry. There is some esrious thought given to the music and the spectacular effects and "The Ruanways" offers lit- tie melodies which will set one to hum ming or whistling. and flashes of light which will be considered novel in the extreme. The radium dance was very well put on and in the chorus numbers were made goodlooking women and they all helped in making "The Runa- ways" one of the best successes seen here 1 nsome time"
 This same company will come to the Montgomery Theatre soon.

Payton Sisters at Biiou.

The Payton Sisters Company begin an engagement of a week with usual matinees at the Bijou Theatre Monday evening. presenting Linn B. Parker's great rural comedy Utah" and a rec ord breaking business is anticipated, as the play is one of the best and the company comes highly recommended,
 They have been producing the play Tor the past five seasons and all the people are well up in their respective parts. The play is a characteristic study of life among the Mormans dur ing their reign in Utah, where the scenes and incidents are laid. It con- talns pretty love story, is full of good wholesome comedy from start to fn- lsh and the dramatic situations and cIlmaxes are strong and realistic.
 Senter Payton as Pa Caldwell, an old Utah farmer, is a character comedian or ability and assisted by Mrs. lola Payton keeps the audience in the best or humor throughout the entire per- formance.
 The numerous vaudeville artists form distinct feature with the show and VIII make a continuous performance

 Charles Hawtrey tells this one: "A bald Scot on visit to London. paused to look at display of hair tonic in A chemists window. The chemist. him self a bald man. came out and tapped the Scot upon the shoulder.
 The very thing for you, my man. he said. Let me sell you a bottle of this tonic. It is the greatest medical discovery of the age
 It is guid, eh?" said the Caledonian.
 Good? It's marvellous. I guaran- tee 1t to produce hair on a bald head in twenty-four hours
 'Aweel.' said the Scot, in his dry. cautious way. 'Aweel. ye can gi'e the top O yer head a rub wi' 1t, and I'll look back the morn and see if we're tel1in' the truth"
 Wagenals & Kempers spectacular production of The Winters Tale" in which Frederick Warde and Kathryn Kidder are making a joint starring tour is among the few important offerings of the present theatrical season that have won popular favor. In the ab- sorbing characters of Shakespeare MT. Warde has scarcely a rival worthy the name in this country. and Miss Kidder is everywhere acknowledged to be one of the best actresses of today. The combination of Warde and Kidder, is a notable one and has resulted in add ing a large sum of money to the bank account of their contemplating and lib- eral managers.

The distinct loss to the American stage, which will be sustained through the retirement at the end of the pres- ent season of the beloved old actor, j.. H. Stoddart. Is being felt by his many friends, as well as those who have be- come acquainted with his gentle per sonality and art through the medium of his excellent portrayaIs of the many characters in which he has endeared himself to the theatre going public. Letters have been received by his man. ager, Kirke La Shelle. asking him to persuade MT. Stoddart to continue at least another season in his admirable impersonation of Lachlan Campbell in The BonnIe Brier Bush"; but. to use an expression of Mir.

come an important factor in the the atrical business of this country.
 Kirke La Shelle is just now happier than he has been for a long time-in fact, just twice as happy, for he is putting on two new plays. The Edu- cation of MT. Pipp' and The Heir to the Hoorah.' at one time. The first of these opens at the Library Theatre, New York, on February 20, and the second soon after at theatre not yet. named. Like most men who have had a train ing on daily newspaper, La Shelle loves nothing so much as to work un- der high pressure, and he usually ar- ranges for at least one big sprint of the strenuous life a year. Just now he is going like a ninetyhorse power auto, early and late, engaging players, directing rehearsals, experimenting the construction and painting of scenery and selecting furniture, draperies and properties for these two widely differ ent plays. His most notable stunt was that of engaging and rehearsing the company and making the production for The Earl of Pawtucket" in exactly fif- teen days, by doing which he moro than cut in two any previous record of like performance.

the New York critics when he was last seen here about six years ago in "Ib and Little Christina" He is a success as Napoleon and his impersonation of the Corsican is praised by every critic of "The Duchess of Dantzic." In per sonality he is the ideal of this charac' ter and presents in his makeup the truest stage counterfeit presentement of an historic parsonage one can pos- sibly imagine. MT. Blinn has evidently given devp study to this part, for he shows in its interpretation all the man. nerisms In walk, gesture and speech referred to by historical commentators on the career of Napoleon.
 Plays and PlRyerAs
 For the next few weeks Kirke La Shelle's "The Virginian" Company will touch only the high places" en route to California. After a week in St. Paul and Minneapolis 1t will quickly "cut across lots" to Helena, Butte, Spokane, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, and other cities in the Northwest It will theh follow the mountain trail South to the land of sunshine and flowers. and will be in California during the latter part of March and the early part of April

DOize intended to resume an independent career. The present probability, however, is that he will reconsider his intention and remain a part of the Hanford organiza- tion.

way routes. They eliminated some Of tie
twenty-three different routes that have

William Barclay Parsons. who advocated
the building of a subway on the east side Of
Manhattan from Harlem to the Battery
and an other on the west side OF the city
from tho Battery to Thirty-second street.
