"The Cow-Puncher" Coming.

Hal Reid, the author of
"The Cow Puncher'' which
comes to the opera house on Nov
ember 1st., said recently that
this play was the result of life's
work at plrywrighting. "Where"
said Mr.. Reid, ''could man find
a broader or a better character to
write about than the American
cow boy?" He is a true friend,
a generous enemy. He is slow
to pick a quarrel. but quick to
defend the weak. Willing 10
lay down his life for his country
or friends. The cow-puncher
from the west made up the rough
riders, and the whole world
knows their record at San Juan.
Mr.. Reid has surrounded him
with a powerful heart story and
developed him into a play that
will live for years. w. F. Mann,
the producer, has made the
author's ideal possible by giving
THE Cow -Puncher" an excel

one forget they are in a theatre.

WHEN YOU VISIT THERE.
Some of the Things to be Seen
Waldo Hall and Its Girls.

Have YOU visited Waldo Hall,
the magnificent new home for
girls at the OAC ? If not, YOU
have missed a sight worth your
while. From basement to garret
it is handsome, stately building,
splendidly designed, splendidly
Constructed, calculated to fulfill
its purpose as an ideal home tor
college girls.
Many girl now costly domicil-
ed atWa1do Hall, the walls adorn-
ed with fish net holding photos of
friends and relatives, rug on the
floor, books and ornaments here
and there, perhaps a piano in
one corner of the room, will pass
in this den the happiest days of
her life, although she may not at
present realize her splendid oppor-
tunities.
In Waldo Hall there are single
rooms and suites of rooms; rooms
from the windows of which a
magnificent view Of foothills and
Mary's Peak is obtained, while
from the opposite side of the
building an uninterrupted view
of the town delights the eye. In
some of the apartments the morn
ing sun sheds its early rays, while
across the hall, at eventide the
splendors of the sunset are enjoy
ed.
Individual taste is displayed by
the occupants in arranging their
belongings, each room having an
air OF taste and comfort all its
own. Visit these rooms with the
matron, Mrs. ]. B. Horner, and
you will be greeted cordially and
graciously by the girls, whose
manners it is plainly evident
have the touch of gracious digni-
ty that marks the really well-bred
woman, be she of high or low
degree.
Go from the top to the ground
floor and visit the attractive din
ing room, finished in green,
where tables are tastily arranged
for IS girls. Go to the kitchen
and peer into the store room
where 500 gallons of fruit, to say
nothing OF jams and jellies, await
the winter serving. No less than
Is bushels of cucumbers are re-
quired to make pickles for the
winter for this modest little
household, while good, old fash
ioned, homemade sauer krout,
700 pounds of it, is "curing" in
the good old fashioned way to be
added to the winters menu in
homeopathic doses, as wanted.
Truly, the building and equip
ment of such a structure as Wal
do Hall is a herculean task; but
In sum ming up i, must not be
forgotten that good Judgment,
courtesy, patience and diplomacy
are necessary characteristics O:
the one who would assume con.
troll of the establishment as ma
tron, and in the selection of Mrs.
Horner for the position it is safe
to venture the opinion that NJ
mistake has been made.

Facts About the Diamond.

The amount of diamonds found
per carload is continually decreas-
ing, as the mines decrease in depth.
The records show that when the
price of diamonds commenced adj
vancing in 1897 the average weight
of diamonds found per carload of
blue ground was 92-1OO karats.
In 1902 the average per carload
was T6-100 karats.
In 1908 the average per carload
was 61-l00 karats.
In 1906 the average per carload
was 54-100 karats.
So, Notwithstanding the much
higher prices now asked for the
rough diamonds the money value
of diamonds found per carload of
ground worked is considerably less
than in 1897
This is the main reason for the
increase in the cost of the polished
diamond.
OF the entire output FIVE per cent
will make good to fine color, perfect
(fiawless) stones which, if properly
cut, will weigh one-half karat or
mores ten per cent will make good
to fine color, perfect. or nearly so,
that will weigh when cut less than
one-half karat; sixty per cent are
thin fiat stones (not thick enough
to make perfect cut large stones)
or imperfect (full of black spots)
or broken or cracked stones. Of
thls sixty per cent some are made
up into large stones. if the imper-
lection is slight, but most of them
are split (cleaved) and made into
little stones weighing from one
fourth to 1-100 of karat. Twenty
five per cent are rejected too poor
quality to make even the poorest
grade of polished stones-6t only
for mechanical purposes, or used to
polish fine diamonds.
OF all the diamonds found in
South Africa less than ten per cent
Of the weight, but representing
nearly Fifty per cent of the value,
are brought to the United States.
Buy diamonds now. There will
be an advance of twenty per cent
this year. What better Investment |
-an you make? " e repeat, buy now
The longer you put it off the more
the goods will cost you.

Talk NO. 3-My0pia Of the Eve
BY Bransford & Andrews.

Myopia means near sight. When
an eye i Hfyopic or near sighted the
image looked at does not focus on
the nerve, the focus is in front Of
the nerve, the eyeball therefore is
too long. Now, as we cannot change
the shape of the eyeball, we put in
front of it concave lens. This kind
of glass has the property of put
ting the focus back to the nerve.
Myopic persons hold reading close
to the eyes, objects at distance
being dim. Vision is certainly the
most important of the senses, there

fee. Visit our Office and learn more
