Quincy Adams Sawyer

The Gehling Theatre was OPEN
ed Thursday night for the sea-
son with Quincy Adams Sawyer
on the boards. A fair house for
an opering night greeted the
play. The book Quincy Adams
Sawyer" has had a wide popular
ity because it was d clean whole
SOME stofy and Tie dramatization
is as we'll received for the same
reason. The cast was a good one
each making the best of his part
and pleasing the audience. Karl
Hewitt in the pleasing character
of Quincy Adams Sawyer had a
pleasing self possession which
put the audience in sympathy
with him. Perhaps the hardest
character wasAlice Pettengill the
blind girl and was played with
feeling by Miss Dinsmore, while
Miss Wright and the other ladies'
of the company made good in
their rolls, Miss Inman in her
triple roll being best as Mrs. Put
man. The play is interesting
and appeals strongly to the pub
lie.

MADE 1T MORE ATTRACTIVE
Same Offer of Bargains, Put in Diff
ferent Form, Quickly Cleared
Store Of Stock.

A merchant in western city was
desirous of reducing his stock with
out delay, and was willing to make Il
liberal sacrifice of profits to do so.
He announced a 20 TO 25 per cent.
reduction sale 1t was bona-fde
and the prices had been cut, but the
public had seen such announce
ments before and was slow to come
in. The merchant was discouraged.
Then he had an idea. The newspa-
pers next day carried big ''ads' an
nouncing that at this store every
fourth yard or every fourth article
of the same price would be sold for
nine cents, no matter whether it
was worth ten cents or $50. A wom-
an came in to buy an article which
cost five dollars. She bought two
others which cost the same amount,
and then a fourth, for which she
paid only nine cents. The fourth,
eighth and twelfth yards of every
kind of cloth went for nine cents.
The store was packed and jammed
and the stock cleared up in hurry.
Yet it was practically the same 25
per cent. reduction sale which had
been advertised so unsuccessfully.
The proposition was merely put in a
more convincing way.

roads better equipped to handle

II am. always glad to come back to

that every boy and girl growing up
in this beautiful valley, may appreciate
these good things and make the most
of them.
