"ARTESTA GARDEN
LANDS"

About 100 miles south of San An
tonia, Texas. lies a tract of IA 200 acres
called the ''Artesia Garden Lands" so
named because the deep, rich soil and
the mild climate make the land es-
peeially adapted to the growing of all
kinds of garden truck, fruits and vege-
tables. You can find no finer fruit
or truck lands anywhere. Truckers
have been realizing from $500 to $500
an acre from their lands in this sec
ton. There is no better alfalfa land
in this country, that crop producing
from seven to nine cuttings each year,
and each cutting yielding from 1 to
1 u tons per acre, which sells readily
for from $40 10 $12 per ton. Rocky
Ford .cantaIoupes grow to perfection
on this land, as do all other kinds of
truck, fruit and vegetables. Corn and
cotton do equally as well. From this
lard you get three crops each year, any
one of which would pay for a number
of acres of the land. The soil is deep
and rich; the climate is fine and
healthy; the location is near town,
schools and churches; the price is ex-
tremely low. Can sell 4o-acre tracts
and up at $3.50 per acre; one-half
cash, balance on easy terms. You can
raise a crop in less than ninety days
and pay off the balance without in
terest 60 down and investigate for

During one OF his warmest political
campaigns Benjamin F. Butler was
advertised to make a speech In a town
hall situated near one Of the smaller
New England colleges. Some of the
students of the college who did not
sympathize with Butler in his political
aspirations agreed to have a little fun
at his expense AS preliminary move
they decided to wait until after the
time for beginning the meeting and
then go In a body to the hall, march
in together, making as much noise as
possible In securing seats and thus
compel the speaker to pause in his re-
marks. Then q series Of various in
terruptions was arranged, to be start
ed at different times upon the signal
of a chosen leader General Butler
had been speaking for ten minutes
when the hall door opened and about
forty students entered and marched
down toward the platform. They kept
perfect step, and the steady tramp,
tramp made 1t impossible fer the
speaker to go on. Quietly waiting I'M

yells Of laughter and hearty applause
from the audience, and no further at
tempts to interrupt the speaker were
made by the students.

AT THE GARRICK.

De Wolf Hopper with Marguerite
Clark and all the old favorites will
come to the Garrick theater for two
weeks beginning Sunday, Oct. rs. in
the great comic opera success. Happy
land" and a sumptuous revival of the
great success, Wang"
IIappyland can be considered a clas-
sic in the matter of thorough enter
taInment.
The story. particularly plausible for
a comic opera, is Immensely amusing,
and being devoid Of all slap stick and
bombastic incongruities, sets a stand
ard in the mater of later days opera.
The late Frederick Rankin, certainly
erected a theatrical monument for him
self when he wrote it.
The story is a mythical land of Elys-
Ia where everyone is so happy that
it's king is bored to death, and is on
the lookout for trouble. He finds it /:
for at the opening of the play the king
of Altruria (Which is the adjacent
principality) demands for his daughter
the hand of the king of Elysias heir
AS this interesting party happens to be
a girl, who meets, promptly falls in
lovd with tie crown prince OF Fortuna
(another nearby kingdom) many com
piications naturally ensue which give
the king of Elysia all the excitement
that he seeks. Rankin's scenes are
never reminiscent, his songs permit
much in the way of personal accom-
pIishment and his ensembles tell a
story in an unusual fashion. Reginald
Dekoven, his collaboration. who wrote
Robin Hood" also aimed high. with
the result that melodies are captivat-
ing and interesting The production
is beautiful in the extreme and absol-
utely perfect in the matter of detail,
they are feasts for the eye. The large
company comes in for its share of the
general result and admiration, for 1t is
not case of simply Girls" Girls, .
Girls" but large aggregation OF
choral artists. who seem TO consider
their work of as much Importance ana
who labor as hard and faithfully as
does the star.
Taken all together "Happyland" is
one juggling ripple Of genuine enjoy
ment and the announcement that or
the forthcoming visit last season this
company, which practically remains in
tact, Will again portray their respective
assignments. is welcome news indeed.
During the latter part of the engage
ment a gorgeous revival of that per-
ennial success. Wang" will be given.
Wang" has probably outlived a large
majority of the latter day operas, and
rightly too. for 1t permits of legitimate
buffonery In which Mr. Hopper excells.
Then again, it is not one part play.
for others besides the star have almost
attractive parts.

ton of all the possibilities of theatri-

word In lighting, the management of
stage crowds and the arrangement OF
stage illusions. Because of the spa
ciousness and character of the house,
"Ben-Hur" at the Auditorium assumes
a heightened dignity and religious at
mosphere. Nowhere else is there so
great an organ TO lend the beauty Of
its tones to the magnificent musical
settings that Edgar Stillman Kelley

The snirft Of Dancing.

Times and manners change. The
customs Of Leaden, ancient and mod
ern, greatly differ. Says the London
Times regarding medieval days:
Dancing was a passion with every
body. From the queen to the milk
maid, all the women danced; from the
king to the craftsman, all the young
men danced They danced In the
streets whenever it was possible,
which was one of the reasons why
May day was so joyous festival. The
more courtly people had dances digni-
fed and stately. such as the danse au
virlet, In which each performer sang
a verse, and then they all danced
around, singing the same verse in
chorus; the Pas de Brabant, where
every man knelt to his partner; the
danse au chapelet, where every man
kissed his partner; they danced to-
gether singing minstrcls' songs; they
danced in the garden, they danced Ia
the meadow. they went out at night to
dance. with tapers in their hands; they
danced to beautiful music played by an
orchestra. Where Is the dancing spirit

CRATER
By Harriet Bachelor Bradner

The day Eleanor Beverly had been In
her position as Cornwell's secretary six
months something happened. The po-
litical boss of his precinct, McWilliams,
having made an engagement over the
telephone, paid the young lawyer a
visit at lunch hour, when the place was
practically deserted.
Having carefully closed the door be-
hind him, he settled his huge bulk in a
chair and came at once to business.
"Mr. Cornwell, we need your support
ia the coming election" he began i'm
pressively. IF man of your sterling
worth comes out for our candidate it
will settle the vote of the majority"
"Impossible!" returned Cornwell de

Hey? What's that about unscrupu-

eyes glared savagely. "This amt no

The two men looked into each others
eyes for the space OF a second, the one
angry and uncomfortable, the other
calm and undisturbeG. Then McW1-
