Tic IN possession Of the tfuth,
we say In plain words that no
one IN this town can self as
good coffee as Arbuck1es,
.Ariosa for as little money.

Misbranded and make-believe
Mocha and Java, or coffee sold
loose out of a bag or bin, is
not as good value for the money.
nor can it be sold at as narrow
profit, nor reach the consumer
under as favorable conditions.
When you buy Arbuck'es'
Ar'osa Coffee you get more than

Brazilian coffee from the largest
coffee firm In the world, with that
firms direct assurance that they
are giving you the best coffee in
the world for the money.

he was going off to look for extra work

Franks on Comrades That Are Played
Before the Audience.

Practical jokes right in front of
The audience are not unknown
among experienced actors. Care
has to be taken that. the business
of the scene is not interfered with,
or the stage manager would speedi-
ly be camping on the trail of the
too enterprising humorist.
IA rather cruel but at the same
time very amusing joke was played
upon an unpopular member OF a
Shakespearean repertoire company
with which / once toured" said
veteran actor to the writer.
"The unpopular one was playing
the ghost in Hamlet on this par
ticular night, and the scene was
managed in the old fashioned way

rising through a trap instead Of
coming on from the wings, as mod
ern ghosts do. Two Of the compa-
ny stationed themselves beneath the
STAGE, and as soon as the victims
head went up through the trap they
began to belabor his legs well with
couple Of stout canes.
"The winch raising the platform
on which the victim stood was turn
ed very slowly in order to impart
proper solemnity to the ghosts ap-
pearance. Picture the efforts Of
the poor hummer to prevent the
anguish he suffered showing on his
face, which, Of course, was in full
view Of the audience!"
Worse, far worse, was the fate OF
some unfortunate actors who in a
popular mclodrama had to drink a
toast in (stage) champagne. In the
ordinary way ginger ale does duty
on tie boards for that exhilarating
wine, but on this occasion some
fend in human form had filled the
bottle with parafGin oil. eve dared

proprietress Of the "show," dropped

he in low voice, "unless you prom
