RAMONA TONIGHT

The enthusiasm that has greeted
the new play Ramona Is almost un-
precedenied. yet not surprising con-
sidering the hold the book Ramona
Of Helen Hunt Jackson celebrity, from
which the drama is taken. has. had
upon the public for years. Here we
have that indefinahle charm OF at
mosphere. that evanescent Intangible
spirit of romance that from time i'm
memorable has been connected with
California OF mission glory. And this
is the background upon which Is
painted one of the strongest. most
thrilling love stories OF all time. It's
tragic element stirs MS profoundly and
VIC are moved TO tears by the very
pathos Of the sweet touching story
AllesanAfo and Ramona compel our
sympathy and appeal TO our highest
emotions by the very strength OF
their love. Ramona" has that ap-
pealing quality or 1t has nothing. II
touches all classes Of people, for II
reaches 70 its innermost recesses,
the human heart which In all Is ele-
mentally the same. Throughout the
piece are the most delightful touches
OF comedy imaginable so that the
tragic element Is balanced. while at
the same time the dignity of the
whole Is maintained. We are In
de hted to Miss Virginia Calhoun, the
gifted young actress who brings us
Ramona" with complete scenic
equipment and company Of excel
lent players admirably fitted for their

Eesspaesxthe title srpscs Shs has s.giyea
the mart much earnest study and has
overlooked no detail. A charming
delineation is expected at her hands.

A Note to Novel Readers.

Well worth bordering, by gener-
alton of novel-readers too apt to im-
bibe code of ethics from irrespon-
sible purveyors of fiction, are these
words in Harper's Magazine from
William Dean Howells, himself the
dean of American novelists:
IF novel flatters the passions, and
exalts them above the principles, it
is poisonous; it may not kill, but it
will alone exclude an entire class OF
fiction, of which eminent examples
will occur to all. Then tie whole
spawn of so-called immoral romances,
which imagine world by the penal
ties following, swift or slow, but in
exorably sure, in the real world, are
deadly poison; these kill. The novels
that merely tickle our prejudices and
lull our judgment, or that coddle our
sensibilities, or pamper our gross aps
petite for the marvellous, are not so
FATAL but they are innutritious, and
clog the soul with unwholesome va
pors of all kinds. No doubt they, too,
help to weaken the mental fibre, and
make their readers Indifferent to
plodding perseverance and plain in
dustry, and to matter-of-fact poverty
and commonplace distress" !,

to 10 per cent of the total crop of

ond with 3,224.90S bushels. In wheat
shipments Phelps county leads with

LARGEST HOSPITAL FOR BERLIN.
Rudolf VirchoW institution VIII Be
Immense Affair,

Berlin will shortly be able to boast
that it contains the largest hospital
in the world. The new institution,
which is to be called after the famous
psychologist, the Rudolf Virchow hos
pital will be- fitted with accommoda
tions for 1000 patients. When fully
equipped it will have a staff of $50
physicians, nurses, attendants and
servants. In connection with the hos
pital there will be pathological and
anatomical laboratory, bath-house with
medico-mechanica institute, section
for Rontgen appliances, and separ-
ate building also for apothecaries
Hitherto the largest German hospital
was that at Eppendorf, near Hamburg.
with accommodation for 1,600 patients.
The size Of the new Berlin hospital
may be best shown when compared
with the London hospital, with 7S0
beds, and the Marylebone infirmary,
with 744.

IT, PAYS TO BE HONEST.
John Wanamaker Gives Excellent Ad.
vice to Younu Men,

John Wanamaker Gives Excellent Ad.
vice to Young Men.
No American business man has won
a larger or more conspicuous success
on the score of actual desert than Mr..
John Wanamaker, and the bit of ad-
vice he gave to some young men in
Chicago the other day on how to get
on in the world is worth passing on
for the benefit of young men general
ly. "If," said Mr.. Wanamaker, "a
young man starts out in life with the
determination to be absolutely honest,
to be successful he must know that the
people he deals with are honest. 9th
erwise he will not cut much of figure
in the business world. At least he
will have to devise plan which will
insure honesty on their part when he
is dealing with them. In business this
quality will be valuable. And the most
difficult step in the progress of an
honest man is to continually let his
possession of this quality be generally
known. Many an honest man fails
because he is poor advertiser. Hon
esty in motive, word, deed and impulse
is the purest quality in the world. Bus.
mess honesty is good policy. l
would advise the young man to take
this route. 1t may be longer and more
rocky, but the reward is commensur-
ate with the labor"
