that some one had insulted their wives

groes as they had just arrived. in the
city.

The long chain that has dangled so

now partially displaced by necklace of
large beads, (colored glass or gold, as
the case may be- coming quite close to
the throat, and as a compromise be-
tween the two is slender gold chain

attached any kind of a pendant or

much attention from their beautiful

HAMMOND SEES VICTOR
HUGO'S NOVEL DRAMATIzED
Wilton Lackaye Appears Here for a
Second Time, this Time in E'The Law
and the Man."

Wilton Lackaye zr t. ed for 3 sec
ond time in hammond last night, this
time in a new play, The Law and the
Man" The play itself is the dramatic
version of Victor Hugo's wonderful
novel. Les Miseralbes" The novel is
followed with fidelity and skill, Wilton
Lackaye appearing in all the trail of
Jean Vatican and all his various aliases
The ex-galley slave was, of course, the
prime figure whenever he was on the
stage. but equally interesting with
him were the miserable Fantine and
her unfortunate daughter, Cosette; the
persistent Javert and the Thenardieres
in their fendish Vaccinations. The
love theme of Marius and Cosette en-
ters into the play Coward the end, and
did not fail to please the audience. On
the whole, the play is powerful les
son, teaching the refining, ennobling
and uplifting influence of Christianity,
and Hammond has been fortunate in
having had the play in its own opera
house. especially since the company
stops nowhere but in the larger cities
for week at a time.
