 STORYWELL TOLD


 SF ONE HUNDRED OF HE GREATEST BOOKS the world has ever produced THE LIST IS HEADED BY "THE BIBLE" and we'll towards the head is the greatest of all romantic novels ever written, ALEX ANDER DUMAS "MONTE CRISTO" IT IS FROM THIS SPLENDIDLY WRIT TEN ROMANCE that the stirring romantic melodrama Of the same name was drama tized. This famous work appeared in 1944 and may be said to have excited n e universal interest than any romance since Robinson Crusos or Waverly. THE EXTRAORDINARY COLOR, THE NEVER FLAGGING SPIRIT, the endless surprises, and the air of nature which is cast over even the most extrayagant situations make this play worthy of the popularity it has enjoyed in almost every country of the world.
 IT IS SELDOM, IF EVER, THAT AN ADAPTATION FOR STAGE PRESENTA- TON EXCEEDS IN POPULARITY AND GENERAL FAVOR THAr0F THE NOVEL ITSELF. However, that is the case with

The play, which is in five acts, is provided with a complete scenic investiture and the costuming is correct and in accord ance with the period of the play. The trade mark established by the management is ''YOUR MONEYS WORTH OR YOUR MONEY BACK" 50 the public takes no chances when this sterling play is pre- scented here.
 It is not often that a theatrical company visiting his city, will, as an evidence of good faith, give q public guarantee as to the excellence of the attraction, but Fred c. Conrad, the manager of 'Monte Cristo" gives the following Guaranteed Pledge:

our teachers enough for our own good,

HOW to Keep Young.

Not few persons have written
1906 at the head of their letters with
a sigh at the reminder of increasing
age. Women, more than men are pos
sessed with a dread of growing old,
not realizing that maturity has its
charms and compensations. We wish
young people oftener had 1t impressed
upon them that they may provide for
happy old age by laying up a re-
serve of sound health and a store of
happy memories, as well as by cult
waiting tastes and resources which will
outlast youth. AS for those who are
already approaching middle age, there
Is no surer way to grow old prema-
turely than to dread the future. 1t is
essential, if we wish to keep young,
says the Western Review. to cultivate
that hopeful habit of mind so charac-
teristic of youth-the hope which
makes one able to say with Browning,
"The best is yet to come" and with
Lucy Larcum Every year life is lar.
ger and deeper and more beautiful in
its possibilities. Allied with this at
titude of expectancy must be the abil-
ity to see the amusing side of life.
Worry and vexation over what would
better be laughed at result in disfg.
uring wrinkles. Above all, ii TIE years
bring us, as they should, a better un-
derstanding of ourselves, a broaden
ing of active human sympathies, a
firmer faith in Providence, we shall
find life abundantly worth the living,
no matter what may be the number
of our birthdays.

In order to ascertain how often and
for what dollar is spent, a California
society is sending into circulation a
hundred silver dollars, each fastened
to parchment tag. The person into
whose hands one of the dollars falls is
requested to write in blank spaces on
the tag the date, place and occasion
of the transfer of the coin to his pos.
session, and then pass 1t on in the
course Of ordinary business. Ten
coins will be sent out by each of sew
eral trades and professions, bankers,
artisans, retailers, and so on. 1t is
hoped that the coins will be returned
according to directions, with all the
blanks filled, to the projectors of the
scheme, and that they may draw
practically scientific" conclusions
about the habits of American purchas-
ers. In school compositions "The Au.
photography Of a Cent" used to be a
favorite subject, and those innocent
fictions are no doubt the progenitors
Of these real travels of real dollars.

Many Chicago lawyers who were
found by the United States investi.
gators to have looted the files of the
Cook county courts to conceal divorce
cases are threatened with contempt
proceedings. John Bell. in charge of
the chancery record writer's of the cir.
cult court, has ordered 1876 Chicago
lawyers to return to the vaults the of.
fetal records of divorce cases for
which they gave receipts, but which
they never returned. Many of the
court records were taken from the
files as long as 16 years ago, and
scores of them. some of the most
noted divorce cases ARE said to have
been lost. The action taken is the
first to cure an evil with which the
courts have been burdened for several
years.

With the repatriation Of the army,
excepting the permanent garrison,
Russian commercial and colonial &C.
tivity in Manchuria appears to have
collapsed. The latest information is
that Hardin has been deserted by a
majority of its former inhabitants.
The desirable population for the pur-
pose of commerce has been reduced
to modest dimensions in comparison
with the days before the war. The
streets are empty and restaurants are
not patronized. Nothing fiourishes,
except robbery and pillage. The -four

incapacitated for peaceful competi-
ton with American millers. The jap
