Thomas Coleman, cold, reserved, am
bilious, sat at the head of the heavy
library table. Beside him his pretty.
fashionable wife drummed softly with
her finger tips on the polished mahOg
any and watched her husband sideways
out of her dark, inscrutable eyes.
The other Coleman, Elizabeth, stood
by the window, a letter with queer
South American pOstmark in her hand.
Poor, lonely old man." she said soft

longs to me- and thiS-'I jest want to

scanning the letter swiftly. I don't ask
no favors, but I'd kind of like to feel
that them that is to have the little
something l leave will have a kindly

all together, when he's gone"
She looked up with swift comprehen-
sion at the tense attitude of the other
two. You do not suppose that little
something can be fortune. do you"

DAVID HARUM.

David Harum' the book. was
one Of the most popular works
ever written and it holds its place
in American fiction. 1t depicted
an unique character in its hero,
a character that lppealed to every
one BY its originality, its force, Its
human qualities. The play is
equally as good the book
The dramatist has done his
work well, preserving the peculiar
style, the wit and humor of the
writer which gives charm to the
book. The climax in the second
act where the Deacon is caught
in the saloon with the boy that
David guaranteed Ito stand with
out hitching" was the finest scenic
work ever seen on the stage. The
entire cast is very strong one and
no better play or better company
was ever seen in Chickasha. The
audience was large and showed
the greatest appreciation from the
to the end Of the play.
The opera house management is to
be complimented upon bringing
such company to Chickasha. The
"rowdies" we're conspicuous last
night by their absence.

FIRST CAR or STEEL ARRIVES
For the Street Railway and More
on the Way

The first car load Of steel for the
street railway arrived on the Frisco
today. II came from Johnston, Pa, (,
and has been a month on the way.
Several more cars have been ship
ped and are expected soon. There
are almost 1900 ties on the ground
and everything indicates that
the street railway will soon begin
to assume tangible form.
The promoters OF this great en-
terprise have proceeded in busi-
ness like way from the start. Of
course some have been skeptical
about it, but there has been every
reason to believe that the company
meant business. 1t put up its
$1,000 bond and began placing orr
ders for material as soon as the
franchise was granted. Great credit
is due to the promoters and the
citizens Of the town shonld not
only be grateful to them for their
efforts in placing on foot an enter
prise that means so much to the
town, but they should also be en-
couraged and assisted in every pos
sible manner.
