SHAEESPEARElN DRAMA


Shakespeare's great drama, "Rich-
ard the Third, was presented to en-
appreciative audience at the opera
house last night night by John Grif-
fifth and his company.
Mr.. Griffith has been described as
strenuous actor" and in the role Of
King Richard, he has full scope for
the display Of his powers. He makes
the characters of an exceedingly
strong one and gives evidence Of
marked abilities as tregadian. Of
the other characters in the play
Buckingham makes the strongest
impression but Mr.. Griffith carries
away the bulk Of the nonors. No
great requirements have been placed
upon the minor characters by the
dramatist. The production as whole
however, is a very creditable one, far
above the average that is seen in
Chickasha.

She raised her head from his shoul

DO you believe that exercise and
lotions and toilet preparations will i'm

He pressed her blond curls back up
on his chest.

dream. Who could stretch himself
there, on that fiat rock, overlooking
the water. and, looking down into its
crystal depths. believe that the an
cient Greeks were entirely mistaken?
No, It could not be. Their faith vas
the faith of millions. BY that fact
it was not a fraud.
Concentration of the will" he
doubted If he was spiritual enough,
but he would try. He would concen-
trate his will. mind. and all the forces
of his being on this scene until its
secret should be revealed. He would
behold the personality that lent its
invisible charm to the spot.
81 will l wilt" he repeated, tens
ly, to himself, as he lay stretched on
the rock, while his heart thumped
and his sight became obscured with
the intense application. His senses,
like a high strung instrument, caught
a slight rustic. He looked up and near
ly swooned.
From a projecting rock, not five
PAGES away, stepped a naiad, beauti-
full as Venus and clad only in her rip
ping hair. Poised deftly on a half
submerged log, she plunged into the
lake. Gabriel watched her cleaning
body as she shot down in an oblique
course until she nearly touched the
bottom; and then with a swift turn,
came again to the surface. Com
pletely entranced. he watched the
beautiful creature disport herself for
some moments. Then, all at once,
the significance of it struck him with
overwhelming force. His theory had
proven true, and he was the first hui
man being, after a lapse of thou
sands of years, to gaze on a scene
such as this. A feeling of exulta-
ton overcame everything else, he
rose to his feet determined to ex-
plore the source of the mystery.
Feverishly, he strobe to the rock and
peered over. There at its base lay
a bundle of feminine apparel, a tiny
drab volume with gold lettering beside
it. At that moment a cry of horror
arose from the lake-a splash as a
naked body sought to hide itself be
meath the waters.

Good Method Of Keeping Miseel.
laneous Useful Articles.

The kitchen closet, more than any
other in the house, especially If it be
as roomy as kitchen closets should be,
becomes a sort of dumping ground for
many articles not properly having a
definite place anywhere set apart for
them, and yet seemingly too good to
be cast aside. In this class we find
the pasteboard box, from which the
caterers goods were removed, which
is perfectly free from any spot Of
grease and is Just the ideal size for a
picnic lunch box. Then there are the
tin cracker boxes of various sizes and
shapes, which are so handy for hold
ing dried herbs, for taking a salad
preparation to a church supper, for
steaming or baking a pudding, and
similar purposes. There are the bot
ties of different sizes from which mus.
tard, pickles, and other articles have
been taken and the cork of which waS
spoiled in opening. A person gets
laughed at for keeping such a collec'
ton, but it is the neighbor who thrcws
out her own boxes and bottles, and
smiles at the collection of her neigh
Dor who most frequently puts In the
plea for some article from the rather
composite aggregation. An excellent
way to keep these articles, and yet not
have them litter the pantry shelves,
if there is any available %storeroom In
the attic or basement, is to get several
large wooden boxes from the grocer
and put each class of good in a box by
itself. The covers should be put on
closely so that when a box or bottle Is
wanted for immediate use it will rot
require washing or busting. Such a
collection is of almost untold value for
the comfort of the different members
of the household.

WASHING Flannels.

Flannels that have become badly
yellowed through neglect may be
whitened in this way. Boil four table
spoonfuls of -four in four quarts Of wa
ter, stirring free from Jumps. Pour
one-half this mixture v the fiannels,
cover and let them stand a half hour.
Rub with the hands, but use no soap.
Rinse the hannels in clear water of
the same temperature, then heat the
remainder of the liquid and pour over
the flannel again. Proceed as before,
rinse thoroughly, then hang out to
drain and dry. Never hang fannels
in cold or frosty air, as that always
shrinks them.

To Wash SILK Underwear.

Soak 20 minutes in warm suds ano
ammonia water, allowing one table
spoonful of ammonia to a gallon of wa
ter. Rub gently with the handa
squeezing, pressing, but never scrub
bling, and do not be too lavish in the
use of soap. Never rub soap directly
on a garment, but use the soap in solu
ton.
Rinse through two clear waters Of
the same temperature as the first
suds, adding to the last water a trife
of the ultra marine blue and a tea.
spoonful of liquid gum arabic. Smooth
out and hang as carefully as possible
so as to avoid the wrinkles so hard to
iron out of silk without injury to the
fabric. When nearly dry press under

GO LONG WITHOUT WATER.
Many Animals Seem to Have No
knowledge Of Thirst.

From u childhood picture book
days nearly every one of us has cher
ished the idea that the camel was the
beast above all others that could ex-
list for extended periods without drink
ing. An so few of us have any idea
that there are other beasts quite Is
capable as the bumped quadruped of
going for from 40 to 60 days, in win
ter, without drink, grazing on the
green, |succulent vegetation of that
season.
Peccaries in the desert of Sonora
live in little dry hills, where there is
no natural water, for long periods.
They cannot possibly find water, in
fact, for months at a time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case is
that of the pocket mouse, one of the
common rodents of the desert. This
little creature, by the way, has a gen
uine fur-lined pocket on the outside of
its cheek. When it is hungry it takes
food from this pocket with its paw,
just as a man would pull a sandwich
from his pocket.
1t is said that one Of these mice Aas
been kept for three years with no
other food than the mixed bird sLed
Of commerce. During this period it
had not a taste of either water or
green food. Other experiments in tlis
direction have shown, in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming TO know that wa
ter is good to drink. The bird seed
put before the mouse referred to con
tanned not more than ten per cent. of
moisture, which is less than is neces-
sary for digestion. STUFF so dry as
this cannot even by swallowed until
it is moistened by saliva, yet this re-
markable mouse gave nothing but his
time to the interests Of science. He
suffered nothing in health or spirits
during his captivity.
