One of The most impressive
and interesting. arousing dramas
in recent years, is Eiler's King
of the Cattle Ring. play OF
Western life by Hal Reid. The
play that made its author famous.
The play is all that its name
implies. The scenes are LAID
upon our Western frontier and
the situations are thrilling and
sensational. The story of the
King of the Cattle Ring is one
full of action and exciting incl
dents There is a strong plot
consistently told and brought out
with much force, and dramatic
action. A lot of comedy creeps
lin at the more serious moments
of the play, thereby giving the
audience a breathing spell from
the exciting and stirring story.

Do mol stir up The Animals!

In a geological garden the
other day, saw these signs:
/: DO not stir up the animals.
.. DO not feed the animals.
3. Keep away from danger
Gus places
The last is best of all, except
possibly the second and the first.
Our troubles in life all come
from one or all of these three
rules. The animals haven't got
it in for us. They really do not
know of our existence until we
announce ourselves.
To stir up the animals is to call
their attention to yourself. That
is to say, you indulge in publicity
aad the people who are before
the public must expect to get a
little of the Donnybrook prescrlp-
ton when they go to the fair
To feed the animals is usually
to get their ingratitude and con-
tempt. Nothing causes so many
heartburnings as a four-o clock.
When one married lady was adj
vising another how to keep the
love of her husband and said.
Feed the brute" she was in
dulging in little harmless irony.
Married women. per force,
violate Rules No. 2 and No B.
they have to feed the animals
and they have also ventured into
dangerous places. 1t is their
own fault no one is to blame
but themselves-the should take
their medicine.
Most of our troubles come
from venturing into dangerous
places. If you hadn't gone close
enough how could the monkey
have grabbed your millinery and
made you a laughing stock for
the fools? The monkey should
not have been blamed-he only
manifested his nature. If you
had kept away from the legal IT,
gers cage, he would never have
scratched a hole in your new
wallet.
The excuse that you did not
know that it was loaded is no
longer valid. Everybody should
know that the tiger is loaded for
bear, and absolute safety is Sc
cured only by keeping away from
dangerous places. And this We
can DO, if we wish, for every Il
ger is a Tiger, and all the lions
are chained. Hubbard.

BASE BALL--1l 10 0.

In favor of Jasper was the re-
suit of the last game of the local
base season Sunday. The
Princeton team was the last one
to suffer defeat at the hands of
the Champions of Southern Ind.
AS the score would indicate the
game was so one-sided as to not
be very interesting, however. it
was entertaining to see the local
boys get up and smash them out
for two, three, and even four
bases. Ed Kempf was again in
the box for the home team and
as usual, the visiting team could
do nothing with him. Result:
