Monte CristO, which will be at the Opera House, Prescott, Ark. Wednesday, October the 18th is one of the greatest human nat ure plays ever written and in it's appeal to t h e imagination through the instinctive love of adventure and romance it is without an equal. It is a most ingeneniously constructed play, the action is brisk and the situa- tions give fine opportunity for the most elaborate scenic and mechanical effects. The incl dents follow with cleverness and they are of true, cumulative in- terest that reaches great power in the famous climax of The World is Mine" and others. The production is under the direction of Fred G. Conrad. He brings a metropolitan company a n d special scenery.

In mailing out post cards m ost patrons have an idea that all post cards may be mailed for l cent. Such an idea is wrong. Wood or leather post cards are requir- ed by the regulations to have a two cent placed on them. And post cards with mica, tinsel, or rough surface calculated to injure the hands of those who handle them, are required to be placed within an envelone and if left unsealed. may be mailed for one cent, unless there is writing on the card. In such cases 1t will go at regular letter rates. The same will apply if the envelope is sealed. A good many people get the idea that they may write a letter, enclose it in an envelope and leave it unsealed, that it will go for one cent, but the idea is erroneous. All matter containing writing must go at regular letter rates. whether sealed or not, and all sealed matter requires letter rates.

Thn "IIereditxr Excuse.


What small excuses serve some
people as satisfactory justification q
their failure!
It's quite the usual thing for q
man to plead that he is q drunlard
and a good-for ?nothing because his
father was such before him.
There's the commonest plea OF al
heredity, and it's the silliest
Ninety-nine .drunkards in every
hundred viii tell you that the taste
was forced upon them under some
peculiar condition. They lie-every
one of them.
The drunkard does not live who at
one period of his life had not a nat
ural repugnance TO drink and did
not, Of his own accord and against
the protest OF his stomach and his
better nature, batter down that re-
pugnance and acquire the taste.
Heredity has its limitations.
More alluring lies and self-delu-
sions have been hung on that word
.heredity" than on any other per-
haps in all the lexicon OF specious
sophistry.
Man is born of great father and
good mother. Does that make him
great and good?
Oh, MOI 1t is never claimed that
heredity works that way.
The man who gets ahead in life IL
usually content to take the credit to
himself.
But the man who goes to the devil
always accuses somebody else OF
having creased the ways.
This is not denying that there Is
some force in heredity and more IN
early training and environment, but
1t is a force that except in rare in
stances may be overcome or rightly
directed.
And out of inherited faults often
bloom great virtues. The knowledge
that you have a weak spot is reason
to guard yourself there-a reason

loss OF Life ON Land and Sea.
A Swedish physician is given as
|. authority for the following descrip-
ton OF Russian drunkenness. Just a
week before the outbreak Of hostiii-
ties between Russia and Japan:
1.-THE streets of the towns swarmed
with Russian soldiers, and on Sun
days, day of special privileges,
three-fourths Of them get complete
Il drunk on Vodka. One might see
them lying around the streets every
where. looking like heaps Of filthy
rags. Then the police sent for
coolies with carts, who took the
the wretches away. The coolies were
amazed to see how low so-called civ
ilized men could sink, for, in China,
as rule, the people are very tenn
perate."
Among noted eases in which wine
played a disastrous part the follow
ing may be cited:
The frightful catastrophe on the
Manche Canal when the German
Lloyd steamer Elbe was sunk by the
Chrathie, and hundreds of lives were
lost, caused by the fact that the cap
tain and pilot OF the second steamer
were drunk.
A years later the Bourgoyne was
ehipwreeked because the watch had
partaken of spirits too copiously
AT a banquet of the German Lloyd
Steamship Company in April, 1908,
the manager, Mr.. Ortwein, spoke very
positively on the subject of drink.
He said It was necessary TO have
navigators absolutely free from all
alcoholic influence and entirely mas
ters of the situation. The slightest
mistake on their part might mean
the loss of hundreds of lives. Ho
said further that those old sea
wolves who could not pass grog-
shop were entirely untitled to take q
modern ship across the ocean.
