"THE DANITES."
Large Crowd Last Night at the Star
Theatre.

The production last night came up to
everyone's expectations, being a most
remarkably strong comedy drama, AMI
one of those pleasing bills where there's
sufficient comedy to sustain and enliven
the story. Mr.. Willard as Sandy shows
to great advantage, as the romantic
Western character suits most admirably,
and the portrayal of such a different
character, from Zeze Fortune OF Wednes-
day, illustrates his wonderful versatility,
The great beauty of this actors work Is
naturalness in every detail. Mr.. Willard
has made good in every character he has
assumed and as SANDY" he is indeed
strong. Mr.. Morton's "Parson" was an
exceedingly good piece of acting as was
Mr.. Blanchard, as the Judge" with his
GLORIOUS climate of California" Our
friend "Washee," the Chinaman, was
handled most cleverly by Mr.. Elton
Mrs. Shepard as "Nancy Williams" and
"Betty Piper" has hard part to sus'
tain, but carried it most admirably. Miss
Gerschel, as a widow, portrayed her part
very creditably, as did Miss Bell. Mr.
Layton's" DANTE" is very nice concep.
tion and in the scene at the bar not
much is said but there seemed great
relief throughout the audience, when the
door closed without some one dying in
their boots.

FOR THE WEE BABY

The first three months of a babys
life often her own strength is at a
very low ebb just at that time, and
baby is SO tiny, SO helpless, that it
is hard for anyone but the mother to
care for him. Perhaps a few hints
may be useful in tightening the load,
says the National Stockman and
Farmer.
A few months ago ! saw fat little
ten-month-old baby sleeping in a
clothes basket placed on box by the
side of his mothers bed. He was
SO sung and comfortable that / won
dered why clothes baskets were not
more often used in this way.
A trained nurse kept small bottle
fitted up with nipple and ready to use
in giving baby drink of water or a
sip of catnip tea when sleep would not
come. Another in feeding a bottle
baby" kept a little package of cheap
tea on hand with which to clean the
bottles.
