"Humpty Dumpty."

Humpty Dumpty, Dickson & Mus
tard's revival of the famous comedy
pantomime will be seen at the Gen
nett next Tuesday night. The COM
pany gave complete successes in the
engagement here last year and is
stronger and better this season than
ever before.
Beautiful scenery, pretty chorus

there is no advance in price of admis-

The announcement of the forthcom-

Gennett Theatre on Monday night,
will be hailed with delight by all class
es of theatregoers who will greatly
welcome the return of Geo II. Broad

ure from old time methods and marks
a new epoch in fun making vehicles.
It's humor is infectious: its comedy
sparkling and the dialogue crisp and
scintilating with wit. Its phenomenal
record of success. both in this coun-
try and Europe eloquently attests its
popularity and press and public alike
concede that it is the best comedy
that has been written in the past dec
ade. The forthcoming revival will be
a sumptuOus one and the cast OF play
ers headed by that sterling comedian
John w. Dugan, is an exceptionally
clever and we'll balanced aggregation
whose names are synonyms OF merit

Adelaide Thurston, the brilliant,
charming and talented young actress
who comes to the Geunett next Sat
urday, Oct. 10. in her new and greatest
play, The Girl From Out Yonder,"
has won for herself 4 place in the
hearts of young girls in every city in
which she has appeared that she is
more jealous of even than the proud
position she has attained in her pro-
fession.
On trains, in hotels. and more than
any other place at the stage doors of
the theatres she plays, she is besieged
by throngs of young girls who are anX-
ious to see her ''off the stage, to
speak to her and ask her advice about
all manner of questions, and Miss
Thurston is never too tired to play her
part She loves the society of young
girls and says that she draws inspira-
ton from them.
Somehow or other she seems to Sc
lect plays in which the characters she
portrays while appealing to all classes

of playgoers have particular, and es-
pecial attraction for young girls. She
acts as if she really were one of them,
and that this is true, they quickly find
out as soon as they talk to her.
In The Girl From Out Yonder," in
the more serious character of Flotsam,
she has disclosed a new and most
charming side to her own character
that has proved absolutely irresistible
to her girl friends and they cry even
as they laugh and go away from the
theatre more in love with her than
ever.
These girl friends Of Miss Thurston
are appreciative, too, and fairly de-
luge her with presents, mostly Of a
sentimental and inexpensive kind but
none the less acceptable to her for
that reason.
With her thousands of more mature
admirers of both sexes it is pleasant
to contemplate what a charming ellen
tele is growing up with her girl
friends.

ARGUMENT FOR SCREENS.
Milton, Ind, Oct. 12.-Just now
when road taxes are to be worked out
and the supervisors are endeavoring
to better last years record, it would
be profitable to consider the practical
bility of screening the road as is be-
ing done by several. This removes
all the large stones as the gravel is
thrown into the wagon, saves hauling
then raking them off or experiencing
that annoying little bump, by those
who have to pass that way. Screens
are being used by the supervisors in
Washington township with great sue
cess.

Beams Place of Pleasure.

DR.. l.. B. Bean has finished repairs
on his bowling alley, moving the
track further in, thus giving more
room for spectators, and with new
balls and pins, it is now one of the
best equipped alleys in the country.
He has had an exceptionally fine lot
OF films lately for his electric theater
and moving picture show. No finer
scenes are shown in any city than
these. The billiard and pool room
adjoining is a favorite resort. The
skating season is now open and the
theater is turned into skating rink
every Friday night. All the amuse-
ments given at the Electric Theater
are well patronized, and it is place
of pleasure that would be a credit
to any. town. In fact, many towns
larger than Hartford do not enjoy
such splendid amusements.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
To Friends of Education
In Kentucky
IS ELECTION NEAR At HAND
ScnOOl Teachers Especially In
tereSted in Matters At
fecting Them.

The coming election is fraught with
unusual interest and Importance to
the friends of education in Kentucky,
especially those who are engaged from
day to day in the public schools,
in the noblest work that human minds
have been entrusted with. Not at
any time in the history of the State
OF Kentucky has there been such a
widespread sentiment among the
people in favor of education, and keep
ing the schools of Kentucky abreast
with the best thought Of the best
States of the Union. Never has a
political party in any State given
such prompt and satisfactory re-
Spouse to that sentiment as has the
Democratic party OF the State of Ken
lucky. Through the passage of sew
eral laws looking TO the advancement
of the cause of education and to the
elevation Of that great profession,
teaching, the Democratic party demon
strates it's belief that the future
growth and development of this great
Commonwealth depends largely upon
the education and training of the
youth in the public schools. Judge
Hager, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, said in the opening speech
of his campaign, Hand in hand with
the development of our State must go
the education of our sons and daugh
ters." There is no single set of men
and women united in a single purpose
who can or do render to the State
better or greater service than do the
self-sacrificing teachers of our COM
mon schools.
While the true teacher will not
allow politics to invade his school
room, nor enter in any degree what
ever in his school work, outside the
school room he should make his con-
tictions felt, especially in matters
pertaining to education and econom-
les, and to the policy bieng pursued
by the officials and lawmakers of
his State. He should not hesitate to
make his position clear, for he or she
is a leader of thought in the COM
munity. The teacher owes it to that
community to be conversant with all
that is going on in public way.
