1t is just as Konkel says in
his advertisement on this page.
He doesn't advertise one thing

common occurrence with some
dealers. When you buy of
Konkel you get just what you
buy and you can depend on it.

The Farmers Institute is as
much-or more-benetit to the
farmer as the county fair, be-
cause at the institute he hears
practical ggestions from, prac-
tical men, who have made a sue
cess at the business. No farmer
should miss an institute when it
is at all possible for him to at
tend. 1t is only those who have
never been present at one who
do not care to attend, because
they do not know how much they
miss. 1t would pay every com.
munity to send two or three rep
resentative men to attend the

hood, where the delights could

The version used by Miss Harmed was
adapted by Thomas w. Broadhurst from
the French of Edmond Guiraud. In the
original it scored a remarkable success

duplicated by Miss Harmed during her en-
Sagement a the Herald square 1hedter

1t was thirty-twO years ago that the
great Russian writer, Tolstoy, began the
publication of this romance in the Rus
sian Messenger, and although years
ELAPSED before its serial installments
We're concluded, it held public attention
at a white heat. and upon its pubUca-
ton in book form established forever the
rank of TOlStoy as one of the world
master novelists. Much interest centers IN
the tragic romance of Anna and Vronsky,
but the most powerful dramatic scene In
the play is the mental combat between
Anna and her husband after he has dis
covered her infatuation for Vronsky. In
this scene John Mason has especial op-
portunitieS One of the most interest
ing characters in the play is Serge, anna

same parts as assumed by Kate Claxton
whom this play made so famous. During
the earlier action of the piece she is seen
as the blind girl. and in one act will ap-
pear as Sister Genevieve, the matron of
La Saltpetriere. The two parts are wide
ly different and offer Miss Purnell ample
opportunity for display Of her versatility
The offering will hold an added interest
for patrons of the Majestic who witnessed
