The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1908-05-21

this field lowered ravens and angels,
while on it could be seen women
guarding and nursing those dearer
to them than life itself. God bless
women, the best of all gifts to man
and to humanity.
Every artist from the spirit
world must have been engaged
here last night. There we're imple-
ments and machines Of all kinds.
A printing press standing beside q
guillotine-a cradle beneath a
gallows--a violin and case OF surgi-
cal instruments lay side by side on
card. table-a cannon on which
was pipe of peace, stood boldly
forth-a broadsword and quill pen
hung suspended from the same
hook-a pleasure carriage and an
artillery wagon stood ready for use,
while In the distance was a rail-
road on which was a train made
up of cars, stages, high back cut
tiers, wheelbarrows. stone boats,
Chinese ploughs, and Indian dug
outs! And each was perfect, as
tho these were patterns from which
everything of the kind had been
fashioned. We could see them all
as articles in the road and fields of
the present and future all in one.
There were crowded bathrooms
picnic parties roaming thru grot-
toes, and resting in sylvan-like re-
treats and hidden trysting places.
There were preachers holding forth
to crowded audiences, composed OF
bareheaded men and yelled women.
There we're farm scenes and city
scenes. There we're sportsmen on
the plain in full pursuit of buffalo
soldiers on horses chasing flying
Indians-hunters in the forest
standing beside tree, or kneeling
behind a log, waiting the approach
of deer, seen in the distance,
shutting danger from afar! Every
thing that man could think of was
here, so beautifully designed, SO
boldly commenced, so lightly fin
iehed, so perfect and so /. varied,
that it seemed as if the entire piano.
rama of eternity had been spread
before those who chose to witness
the magnificent display. There
were libraries filled with books
carriages filed with people-stores
filled with goods-air filled with
birds-faces Of men, women and
children, filled with JOY, hope, fear,
love, hate, doubt, sorrow, anguish,
remorse, and despair-heavens
filled with angels, ornaments stud
ded with stars, each scene glisten-
ing, flashing, and glittering under
the rays of the morning sun with
far greater brilliancy than ever
shone from pearl or diamond!
Beautiful and mysterious!
have Just been in to look at
the window again, and such
change! My stars have all disap-
peared; the delicate tracings max
ing the foliage of the forests have
all melted down. The beautiful
plants are stripped of their leaves
and flowers, and look more like
straws, broken and twisted into
thousand ugly shapes! The pretty
little humming-birds and butter
flies have all melted and are not to
be seen! The birds, that looked
so beautiful alf-hidden among the
leaves of the trees, are flown, and
the little twigs on which they sat

HONEYMOON RUDELY
STOPPED BY POLICE
CHARGE USE OF BAD CHECKS
BY BRIDEGROOM
Cases Probably VIII Be Dismissed
Through Evidence That Checks
Were Thought to Have
Been Good

J. P. Jardene, jr., who was arrested
in San Francisco while on his honey
moon on a charge of passing fictitious
checks in this city, has been returned
here from the northern city, in charge
of Detective William Ingram and Sec
retary Lyle Pendegast of the police de-
partment.
Jardene, who came to Los Angeles
recently and opened q manufacturers
agency, is alleged to have passed on
Baillie & Brandt, dealers in machinery,
a check for $100, and on L. A. Ramsay,
an agent for a machinery house, a
check for $525, both of which were re-
turned marked mo funds" by the Lon
don, Paris and San Francisco bank, on
which they were drawn.
Jardene had left the city on his we'd
ding trip before the dishonored checks
came back and warrants were issued
for his arrest at once. He was captured
by the San Francisco police.
Jardene claims and presents evidence,
apparently irrefutable, that draft for
$500 was to have been deposited to his
credit in the San Francisco bank and
that when he gave the checks to the
local men he believed the money was
to his credit.
He will be presented in court today
to answer to the charges against him,
but 1t is probable that the cases will
be dismissed.

1.-THE Typewriter Girl went into it's
second week at the Grand with the
matinee yesterday, and the Gayety
company has seemingly come into it's
own stronger than ever with the skit.
Many improvements, including much
more logical and stronger ending, have
been utilized to bring the musical com
edy into it's renewed engagement. The
lively songs, "She Hasn't Done Her
Hair Up Yet" "Bill You Done Me
Wrong and the famous fountain pen
ditty are all retained with new verses,
and the clever "harlequinade' of the
ponies is still the hit Of the show IN

a place of honor. All three of the

their appearance will be greeted with
delight by their many friends. The
four dancing Fords are retained. Ben

headliner, and Walter Montague ados

new. The Tom Davis cyclists in mid

THE CAST
BY ARTHUR wELsHANs

"a Contented Woman" at the Bur-
bank always counts on a large and en-
thusiastic audience to greet her. Ihe
Hoyt farce is staple and 1t is no
more news to say it is selling well than
to announce a steady demand for
bread and potatoes. Yesterdays audi
ences knew well enough what was COM
ing to anticipate the jokes, but the
laughter and applause would never
suggest that 1t was not the plays hrst
night. And in addition to the usual
and expected there are specialties that
are new and bowling successes.
The feature of the play as 1t is pre-
sented this season is the new march
song, "My Military Maid" by Oliver
Morosco and Joseph Montrose. Miss
Blanche Hall, with the assistance OF
c. orus. presented it as an extra dur
ing the fourth act Mr.. Hoyts farce
faded into obscurity for as long as the
leading lady had breath to sing ana
the audience to applaud. There is moth
ing particularly new to the theme OF
either the words or music, but 1t gets
aWay'' with the catch and swing that
is the one thing needful for popular
melody. For the purpose of displaying
the music to best advantage the girls
are dressed in short skirted military
costumes and Miss Hall makes hit
with the audience by performing on
snare drum. Yesterday 1t was made
evident that introducing new song
written by the manager is trying
ordeal for performers.
Miss Fay Banter also presented
song, "Be Sweet to Me, Kid" and, as
usual, she was given tremendous re-
cention. The reasons for her popu-
larity probably never have been pre-
sented in more winning ways. Gerald
Harcourt sings The Story Of the
Clothes Line and is ably assisted by
the Zine" and it's display of laundry.
He was enthusiastically applauded.
The Hewston trio of whistlers was an
other speciality that was popular with
the audience.
The play itself went smoothly when
ever 1t was allowed to intrude. The
cast this year is especially well Sc
presented by Hoyt. Louise Royce
makes an excellent Aunt Jim and John
