Raiah of Bhong. .

The theatrical season opened last
night at the Dallas Opera House with
the presentation Of the musical com
edy ''The Raiah Of Bhong' featuring
the EImore sisters and a strong sup
porting company. The music was
exceptionally good, and the piece
abounds with gem songs from begin
ming TO end. Especial mention must
be made of the ElmOre Sisters, MesEs
Phillaber and Gage. All the work
done by the Chorus was also above
the standard and showed excellent
training.
The play reached its extreme height
when the EImore Sisters gave their
vaudeville turn. Dressed as Buster
Brown and his little companion Mary
Ann, these two diminutive actresses
present turn as good as can be seen
on any stage. The work of the entire
company was above criticism and
was so effectively done that one could
feel the common Joy of the entire
audience throughout the play.-Dal-
las News, September 18th.

Legal Technicality.

There is an official of Missis-
sippi courts, said a travelling man
noted for his veracity at the South
ern last night, who had been pom
dering his befuddled brain and
scratching his judicial head over
one of the most knotty points of law
that | ever heard of An Eastern
manufacturer Of cork limbs sold a
young lady one of costly design.
She married before paying for 1t.
The manufacturer has brought suit
against the husband of the lady,
seeking to compel him to pay for
the article in question The hus-
band stands firm on two real limbs
and his rights, contending that he
is not responsible for debts contract
ed before they married, alleging
that the limb Is a wearing apparel
The manufacturer contends that
the limb is part of the young lady
herself, and he has never consented
to transfer of title to this part.
1t is a very vexing question. The
manufacturer asserts a technicality
to avoid the dictum, Whom God
hath joined together, let no man
put asunder.' He claims that the
man joined the lady and the limb,
and the two to the husband, making
it a very embarrassing situation to
the couple.
'On the other hand. the husband
claims that he was not eognizant of
the limb before marriage, and that
he was deceived. and the manufact-
urer aided in the deception-com-
pounded a felony, SO to speak.
This places him in bad way. At
any rate, the matter has not been
settled, but it is hoped that the
bordering court will decide as to
whether a husband is to pay for his
wife gross or net''-Meridian Dis

Chewers and pounds of tobacco
Chcwed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SC1NAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1Oc. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, slim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
baccO lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco irnprop-
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco S sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
