The chorus was rather weak, but
the comedy made up for all defects.
Fred Warren as Bolivar, the
mummy" has features Ike full

pounds. He has a double chin,
large mouth and pug nose-all of
| which makes additions to his
comedy. Ed Beck as DR.. Dobbins,
the wealthy inventor of the medi-
cine that is expected to bring the
mummy back to life, compared
with the other comedians is mere

MacSwat, the detective, is grossly
humorous at times. At other
times his Scotch regatta carries
him through. Earle Dewey, as
Washington Stubbs, the curio shop
owner and ex-actor-manager of a
busted troupe, Is show in himself.
His jokes are fresh and his action
all through the piece was easy
and at the same time vigorous.
Selma Harris, as Muggsy, the
| street urchin who loves her
Bertha M" novels, has a good
| bowery dialect. She has a sweet
face, and contrary to the usual
bowery "goil' she is a relief with
out the blackened eyes and made
up face. Edward Groh, as Don
Romero de Cabanos, has a difficult
part which he seems to over do
on the start but as the show goes

Agricultural Politics.

A young farmer who had been elect
ed to a state legislature and instructed
to follow the lead of the state central
committee of his party was taken to
task by some of his constituents for
voting against a party measure.
MY friends" he replied, when |
was a boy one of our neighbors got a
new hired mana chap from the city.
One day he took him out to a pasture
lot and set him to turning the sod
under.
You start in here he said, and
pillow right to that old red cow
Then he went off about his work.
Toward noon he came back to see how
the fellow was getting along and found
he had plowed rambling furrow all
over the field and was still at it.
"'Here!' he shouted What do you
mean by that sort of work?
why said the man, you told me
to pillow to the red COW, and I've been
blowing toward her all morning, but
she keeps walking all over the field
Now, I'll admit, gentlemen. that
you told me to pillow to red COW, but
should like to have you as farmers
compare my burrows with that cows
trail"

news, London art dealers, for $4,000
Up to that time that was the highest
price ever paid for painting by an
English artist. The fact was extern
sively exploited in the press. One
Adam Worth, native of New York
and notorious criminal along the
lines of picking pockets, forging and
bank sWindling, not to speak of bur-
glaries, conceived the idea of stealing
the portrait and holding it for ransom.
He managed to get into the room
where the big picture was hung slash
ed the canvas from it's frame, rolled
1t up and carried it away.
For twenty-five years the detectives
of Europe and America searched in
vain for the portrait Worth was liv.

course OF his career he had met Pat
Sheedy. The gambler was widely
known as square" in his profession
and in all his dealings with men, good
and bad. Worth had confidence in
MIN. Sheedy learned that Worth had
stolen the Gainsborough.
William A. Pinkerton was a friend
of Sheedy. The gambler arranged
with the detective to restore the Dor.
trait on the payment of the ransom
money demanded by the thief, $4,000.
The transaction took place in Chicago,
whence the picture was shipped to the
Agnews. Then ]. Pierpont Morgan
bought it, paying $150,O0O, and the
Gainsborough is now in London, along
with many other high priced works of
art, which Morgan declines to bring
over because of the high duty.
The Gainsborough canvas originally
was a full length portrait. A lady in
England who had no premonition of
the fame and high price which the
picture would attain, but who had n

the feet of the duchess and consd
