simple yet stirring story of ranch life In the Lone Star state. Not few in last evenings audience witnessed the production for the second time, yet en. joyed 1t as thoroughly as they did when they saw Mrs. Fiegls play for the first time.
 The cast is a strong one, and many well known fayorites are in the com pany.
 Without wishing to detract any from the credit which is due to the princl- pals in the cast, it is but fair to state that the best piece of character work is undoubtedly that of Louis Thiel, who plays the part of Oklahomie, rough, but good natured old COW puncher. Sam SoueI, an customer from Mississippi, played by Howard Messlmer, and Tank, played by w. T. Chatterton, a group of three cowboys, are all specially worthy of mention. In that category, too, should be included Corpus Christie" a pean servant, played by Stephen Hoyt While these characters are minor yet they are essential to the success of the comedy.
 Of the principal role there is nothing but praise to be said. Charles r. Co., burn, who plays Freshwater Jack, is excellent, and sustains his part with marked ability. The same may be said of Fred E. Duff, who plays Lord Angus Trevor, owner of the Triple X ranch,
 The part of Texas West, daughter of Colonel Buck West, owner of the Buck head ranch, upon which the scenes are all laid, Is played splendidly by Mabel Dixey, who has winning personality and very pleasant voice and presence. Differing materially in the character of her work from Miss Dixey is that Of Hawiet Broadhurst, who plays Lady Cecilia Trevor but she is quite up to the standard set by othe" members of the company and Monica Lee as "The Wilder Peppercorn" has mild come dy character, which she most satts- factorily filled
 Ted E. Griffin as Pasquale, a border halfhreed played his part well.

 'In behalf of the stricken people of Southern Italy the Italian relief com mittee appeals to you and the people of your city for contributions. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives have been plotted out, populous villages and towns have been overwhelmed by the eruption of Vesuvius. Those effected are chiefly poor peasants. Many Amer jeans who have witnessed the courage and hard work of these people living at the foot of the mountain of fire will wish to prove their sympathy in prac- | tical fashion. We ask you to appoint committee of citizens in your local Eity to cooperate with us. Cheeks can be made payable to William Randolph Hearst, chairman; John Palmieri, John Lordi, Angelo Legniti, Felice Tocci, Au- gustus Scharboro Joseph N. Franco lini, Charles Baeigalupo, James D March.

Editor National Tribune: Who can
call to mind any soldier who In the
civil war was enrolled as an enlisted
man in 1861 and served full four years
in the same regiment; who was ap-
pointed a non-commissioned officer,
Second and First Lieutenant and Cap
tain Of his company and Lieutenant
Colonel and Colonel OF his regiment,
and returned from the war in 1865 the
Colonel in command Of the same regi-
ment he entered in 1861 as an enlisted
man; who served at the front from
first to last during his four years of
service from the beginning to the end
of the war: who received the Medal Of
Honor. brevet commission and COM
mendation from his corps and depart
ment commanders for gallant and. meri-
toriOus conduct in battle?
We would like to hear of the men
who had this experience during the
civil war, as there is now pending in
Congress bill to appoint and retire
and another bill to literally pension
such persons as have the experience
named above.

had short-range guns, being mostly
cavalrymen. We held them at bay with
our long-range guns from until 9
O'Clock. when our ammunition gave

The enemy ran up piece of artil-

one shot right down our line and not

second shot went Immediately over our
heads. Then they ran the gun up close

The German press reports an inter-

to supplant meat--one of the reports
being as follows:
1T is contended that the principal
nourishment required by the human
body for it's maintenance is albumen.
the source Of all muscular strength. 1t
was recognized that were it possible to
make artificial albumen, complete
change in the present system would
render the now SO necessary meat foods
to great extent Indispensable. A di-
rector of the leading chemical institu-
ton, the Berlin University, has gained
the credit of having accomplished the
first analysis of natural aIbumen He
has established the composition Of the
various ingredients, some of which he
has succeeded in producing artificially.
The substance thus obtained he has
called 'polypeptide,' and it is said to
possess large number Of the properties
characteristic of natural albumen The
vast Importance of this discovery will be
better comprehended when it is realized
that the introduction of this artificial
food will reduce the disastrous effects
OF bad harvests. pestilence, etc, to a
minimum, and cause famine to become

were working at cross-purposes, and
that there are epidemics or danger OF

STAINING OAK.

One of the most valuable hints that
the delegation of British workmen OBJ
tanned upon their recent visit to Ger
many was that of a new method of
staining oak furniture. The results OBJ
tanned by the German manufacturers
have been much admired, but it could
not be understood how they produced
such beautiful shades. 1t is a new
method and obtained in a very simple
manner-by placing the frames. after
they have been thoroughly prepared
and polished. in an alright room or
large air-tight box, in which are
placed two large bowls containing from
five to six quarts of ammonia and close
the room or box for the night. The
desired shade can be obtained by plac-
ing small pieces of prepared oak in the
room or box and withdrawing the same
al intervals. Deeper shades, of course,
require longer exposure. Oak stained
in this way retains it's color much long
CT than by the process of rubbing in
ooloring extracts, which latter in the
course of time rubs off. .

Charcoal a Poison Antidote.

well to make the fact universally

After Fontana published the results Of
his experiments, it was discovered that
1T possessed powerful disinfecting quail
tiles. Later, cooks began to throw a
live coal into their soup i'm time Of

turbance from turning the SOUP and

could be used for clarifying sugar. 1t
