AT this season of the year when

can defy the world. Let it rage and
howl abroad as it may; in the sunny

struction. Other people can erect
guide posts showing the road shat
leads that way, but you yourselves
must travel the road and furnish the
equipments for the journey. work is
the great avenue all must take. Look
around and see if you find any sub
stantial, cOntented household but
somebody is pegging away and strik-
ing hard ticks to make it so. Idleness
produces mischief and crime, in man,
and Ill health and bad temper in wo-
men. We cannot think of any feature
of the home life so likely to wreck it
as lazy, ne'er-do we'll man moving
around, or a nervous, idle, fretful

to make her unhappy. This sort Of
people can never be contented un-
less they are miserable, and they

above mentioned will insure sorrow

"ThOrns and Orange Blossoms.

The part of Violet Beaton in the new comedy drama, "Thorns and Or ange Blossoms, as portrayed by the talented young actress, who so cleV- erly impersonates her, is one Of the most carefully drawn characters that has been thought out for theatrical production in years. She Is pretty in face and form and with a disposi- tion sweet as clover and yet embit- tered against aristOcracy, believing 1t to be the logical cause of all unhappi- ness. In this beautiful stage story she depicts a wifeS heartrending, soul-trying struggles against illness, starvation, winters mercileSs cold and a villains efforts to degrade her All ends, however, in true dramatic fashion, and the intensely human dra- ma concludes in the prettiest picture ever presented to the gaze of dra- matic patrons.

The Sultan of Sulu' will be at the Elks theater soon.

Lavish costumes. gorgeous gowns. de- signed by Will Barnes; dainty lingerie from Australian and French looms will be exhibited in unique groupings, while the scenery will truthfully rep resent in color the tropic glories of the island of Sulu. Mr. Ade. the li- brettist. is credited with having a most efficient co-laborer in musical setting in the person of Alfred Wathall, a young western composer whose con- position has been awarded most gen. erous praise.
