"a Race for a Wdow."--A comedy
called "a Race for a Widow" comes
to the opera house tonight, The
qualities Of the piece are lightness
and refinement, Bright lines are
plentiful and there are many fresh
devices for frightening the merri-
ment While there are numerous
ludrlcous situations there is an un-
dercurrent Of dramatic strength and
a love story not of the wishy-washy
sort, but bright with witticism,
nicely blended through the play.
Incldently, new songs and special
ties are introduced. Pete Baker, the
famous comedian of Chris and Lena
fame IS the star.

Old Land Mark.-The following
notice taken from the San Angelo
Standard will prove Of much interest
to tho "old timer" as the gentleman
who is referred to was well known
throughout West Texas. Mrs. veck
is the mother Of Mrs. w. Il. Docllray
OF this city:
A fire alarm was given at noon
Sunday and the ten-room dwelling
ON Mrs. Kate Week, on Concho ave
nue. was found to be in flames The
fire boys made a quick run and by
good work extinguished the flames
before the building was entirely de-
slroyed The loss on the building
was almost total and the household
effects, though removed from the
building, were badly wrecked and
damaged. The building was insured
for $1,000 and the furniture for
$1,000 in companies represented by
the p. n. Ions agency. The Week
dwelling was landmark Of this city.
AZ one time this dwelling represented
the nearest approach to a mansion
that san Angelo could boast Of The
residence was built OF adobe, ceiled
and clap-boarded with lumber hauled
by OK teams from Round Rock, Texas
at that time the nearest point to
railroad, long before the Texas &
Pacific built into Abilene. Colonel
William S. Week was known far and
wide over this western country as
one Of its sturdiest pioneers, sharing
the hardships, opportunities
and fortunes of the strenuous early
days Of this city and the old home
stead was filled to the roof with
relics, curios and Injuries Of its old
time splendor, notably among which
was Colonel Weeks library, one Of
the finest collections of books to be
found in its day in this section.
Among the total losses to the house
hold effects were several mattresses
made of buffalo hair, something now
impossible to obtain, though at one
time a common article Of household
usage Many other valuable articles
we're destroyed with the building,
most of which 1t win be impossible

OH, WHAT A SCARE!

Some ludicrous things happen in the hospital
and about the grounds. The Rev. R. L. Bridges
Of Islip, who conducts the Protestant religious
exercises in the chapel which is a part of the
immense entertainment hall that forms not
inconspicuous part in the cure of patients. had
exciting experience in the orchard of the farm
when he was newly appointed. and did not know
the grounds well. He was threading his way in
and out among the trees when he suddenly
espied a wtld-eyed man of athletic proportions
making for him at top speed The Rev. Mr.
Bridges thought discretion the better part of
valor, there being no keeper in sight. and. throw
ing clerical dignity aside inContinenty he legged
ii about the orchard, closely pursued by the
lunatic. In and out among the trees ran the
clergyman, who could not appear to find way
out or TO elude his pursuer, who was gaining
upon him steadily. Faster and faster flew the
minister. while he could hear always behind him
the pattering of his pursuer's feet After a
time, however, the habits Of the student told
upon the Rev. Mr.. Bridges's sprintiag. and his
steps Jagged Not with those of the lunatiC-
Exhausted and too short of breath TO cry for
help the Rev. Mr.. Bridges at length stopped
just the lunatiC was about TO touch him with
his outstretched hand. Expecting instant an
inhalation yet too weak 10 battle for his life the
clergyman offered up hasty prayer and await
ed his fate.
Tag you're It," said the lunatic, and ran
away expecting the clergyman TO chase him.
