So much Of interest natural

work of the lecturer. Miss S.

hearsing in justification the
long list of wrongs they have
endured at the hands of Charles
Stuart. This is one of the
Istrongests scenes of the whole
production. Mr.. j. j. Amen, as
John Hampden, speech and
bearing represents we'll the
sturdy English gentleman. and
when Mr.. Earl Beagle as Oliver
Cromwell, with sonorous voice
and burning words stands ring
ed by the flashing steel of his
Puritan partisans and swears

cause of civil and religious lii :

plause.
1t would require a lady ,e-
porter to describe rightly IL e
scene in the Lord Protectors
court. A mere man might de-
scribe the appearance of the
gallant Highlanders in plaids
and kilties; the halberdiers in
mail and greaVes, but what
could he say of the ambassadors
and their ladies, resplendent in
the court costumes of that re-
splendent century. Suffice
to say that each couple was
greeted with fresh exclama-
lions of pleasure and renewed
outbursts OF applause by the
appreciative audience. Ia this
scene Mr.. Beagle and Miss Cox

To Enlarge Yards

Superintendent Brown, of
the Northwestern, while in
town a few days ago, gave out
the news that the Northwest
ern's Onawa yards are to be en-
.larged in the spring. The en-.
larged and growing business
and the increased train service
make the enlargement Of the
yards a necessity. At least
two more tracks or switches
will be put in and perhaps
more. The increase of busi-
ness in the Onawa station has
been large the past year and
with the development of thous-
ands of acres on the bottoms
east of town it is sure to fur
ther increase. -Onawa Sentinel.

CROMWELL vs. CHARLES
Brilliant Production Last
Night.

1t is a fortunate thing that
the Cromwell Entertainment is
to be repeated this evening, is
the unanimous judgement of
all who were privileged to hear
and see the billiant and instruc-
tive performance last night.
Otherwise some Of our citizens
who were unable to attend last
night would miss a great op-
portunity, for any one who
fails to see this splendid repro.
duction of the stirring scenes
of the English reformation in
the 18th century will have
cause for permanent regret. 1t
is evident that the metropolitan
dailies have not oyerstated the
case concerning it. From the
opening professional to the
closing chorus the work of
those local performers who
took part excited the praise of
all who witnessed it. 1t seem
ed hardly possible that any
production could GO smoothly
with so short a time for prepa-
ration. Miss Cunningham evil

parent to the audience at least.
were those of stage construc-
tion and lighting.
A burst of applause greeted
the full chorus as they filed out
on the stage for the opening
professional. The Puritan
men in the plain garb and tall
hats of that time were a gal
liant spectacle and the Puritan
maidens, in white caps and
white kerchiefs over their
shoulders looked like models of
Millions lines:
sDevout and pure,
Sober, steadfast and demure. "
With these were the Cavalier
men and ladies, the former in
caps and tabards, cross emblaz-
oned front and pack, the latter

self clearly and plainly before
the audience. No one who
heard her last night and saw
the beautiful stereopticon
views, some Of them reproduc-
tions OF pictures made in the
times of Cromwell himself by
eye witnesses of the scenes
they portray, but went away
from the place with the feeling
that they had a better knowl-
edge of the times of Cromwell
and the English reformation
fhan could be gained by the
reading Of many books and the
feeling that this part Of the
program alone was worth the
price OF admission.
TIE work Of The Highland
Scottish soldiers and the Hal

praise. M one who saw tlaen

es blazing against the white
background of their dresses
and wearing gilt coronets on
their heads. AS the procession
filed in, Mrs. R. L. Coulthard,
pianist, struck the opening,
chords and the full chorus
swung into a song of praise,
singing as they executed the
effective figures of the process
sional, and finally forming a
pointed star and changing
to the stately music of Gounod's
great anthem, "Praise Ye The
Father" The first scene pre-
sented by our own people was
that of a student gathering in
Cambridge, where young men
discuss the condition OF church
and state in the usual informal
manner of yourg men and de-
termine to devote their lives to
the establishment of civil and
religious liberty, concluding
with some of the old psalms
that rolled their music to the
skies in the troublesome times
of civil war then impending.
The Parliment scene was op-
ened by the entrance of the Of
ficers of the house, preceded
by the sergeant-at-arms in wig
and gown, bearing the mace,
emblem of authority, which he
deposits on the table before the
speakers chair. Then the Puri-
tans and Cayiliers file in, two
by two, bowling with due rever-
ance to the mace. Scarcely
has the session opened when
the blast of bugle and shout of
the sergeant-at- arms proclaims
the coming of the king. Mr.. C.
w. Kellogg, as king, and Mr..
Adm Brown, as Prince Rupert
the gallant gentleman and off
Ger, looked and played their
parts eminently we'll. After
the withdrawal of the king and
courtier the Cavalier party in
parliament also withdraw, in
censed at what they term the
treasonable utterances Of the
Puritans, and the patriots draw

1t was a deadening blow. My

der the Christening. though it whit
ened his locks, it divinely frightened
his faith 1t was your distinguished
honor to know my father and hear
him preach. His last sermon was
preached in this pulpit, his last public
prayer was offered at these holy al
tars. He used to sit beside me here,
and love me into better service. Oc-
casionally, when 1 urged him to do SO,
he would visit the other churches and
listen to my brilliant confreres, who
are widely known for their eminence
and eloquence; and. then, with par
ent's fond indulgence and extrava-
gance, he would say, "My son, none
of these men breaches better than
YOU" 1 smiled at the fiction, but
nevertheless my fathers opinion was
more to me than any others, and his
loving presence furnished tonic and
inspiration to my work; and when, in
that parsonage in the very shadow OF
the sanctuary, his soul assembled to
meet his Lord, the noblest and most
exquisite Christian gentleman whom
God ever made, ended his earthly pill
grimage. In my great sorrow you
sustained me with your tender pray
ers and sympathy. But the old world
has been pretty lonesome to me since
the going away of these two dear
men.
1 leave you reluctantly, but turn
my face again to the sunset shore
with happy expectations. Many
friends await our coming. Nine
years ago this very week 1 laid the
cornerstone of that beautiful church;
and a piece of my heart went into the
copper box. l want your prayers that
my ministry there may be faithful and
fruitful.
A sincere and hearty welcome to
my successor, Dr. Henderson and his
family, will be a token of true love
and loyalty to me. He is most wor-
thy of your highest confidence and es-
TEEN. He has won many trophies, is
a man who has been tried and not
found wanting. He is a stalwart;
rugged in body, vigorous in mind
and large of heart. He is capable,
resourceful, victorious. God bless
him and you, and make his coming
the most notable pastorate in the
eventful history of this church.
And, now, once more, 1 thank you
one and all-the trustees, the stew
ards, the class leaders, the Sunday
school, the presiding elders, the dea-
conesses, the sexton, the Epworth
League, the Mems 2-3-2 Club, the
missionary societies, the organists
and choirs, the ushers, the children
who have loved me, the young people
who have listened to me, the older
people who have prayed for me; all
who have in any way helped in these
five memorable years of my life, I
thank you with all my heart and pray
for you. To the members of other
churches, and those who have attend
ed upon my ministry who were not
members of this church, I would say,
you have gladdened and encouraged
my heart by your presence and kindly
words; and l thank you, one and all,
again and again. Remember when
you come to California Ishall be there
to warmly welcome you to my church
and to my home.

AN ATHLETE STILL AT rs.
President Diaz of Mexico Climbs q
Pole Hand Over Hand.

President Diaz of Mexico Climbs a
Pole Hand Over Hand.
Diaz is the commanding PERSONAL
ity of Mexico, the founder and pre-
server of what is called the republic,
writes DR.. w. w. Boyd. in the Ma
tional Home Journal. Republic. how
ever, is a misnomer, judged by our
ideas of a republican government.
There is a show of voting, form
of representative assembly; but the
Congress is created somewhat after
the way in which the Car elected the
last Duma.
I was told by a leading diplomat
that when Governor was to be
elected by a State the name was Sc
lected in the City of Mexico, and the
day after the election that name was
sent to the State with the polite Off
cial announcements: "On yesterday
the people chose as Governor of your
State Mr.. So and So" the man Sc
lected at headquarters.
Nevertheless, let it be said that out
of heterogeneous mass of discordant
and belligerent States, where con-
spiracy and revolution were rife, and,
human life and property were unsafe,
there now emerges a strong, intelli-
gent government, liberal and just to
all. And in the accomplishment of
this stupendous task to Diaz more
than to all others is due the credit.
Not only Intellectually, but ph!Aic-
ally, the President is q remarkable
man. He was addressing the young
cadets of the military school and en-
phasizing the Importance of caring
for the body by temperance, chastity
and self-control If one would make
the most and best of himself, when
he ran to a tall pole in the arena of
the gymnasium and climbed it, hand
over hand, to the top. Then grace
fully sliding down, he said:
young gentlemen, if you live as
abstemious a life as have led. when
you are seventy-five years old, as
now am, you can &c the same feat"

Fashions in Finger Nails.

Fashions change, even in finger
nails, and the pointed naiis of few
years ago are looked upon as almost
barbaric at present. 1t also seems
that women are becoming sensible in
another digital detail High polish
ing is no longer the rule, as, of course,
it never was practiced by women of
fine taste. The pointed nail and the
high polish have passed out, and the
chances are historians in future days
will look back and rank them with
crinoline as evidence of a crude and
undiscriminating age. In caring for
their finger nails women are now try
ing to follow nature instead OF OPP
posing or distorting it. The natural
contour of the nail is preserved as far
as possible, and the manicure is not
permitted to pursue any of her some
times costly hobbies.-Kansas City

Decay OF RuiIding Stones.

The causes of decay in building
stones are various, and depend on
the physical structure of the stone,
its composition, and the nature of
the surrounding atmosphere. The
most destructive agent to which the
stone is exposed is rain or moist
atmosphere, and also, in minor
degree, wind, frost, and smoke. The
air of large towns is usually charged
with various deleterious acids; these
acids are dissolved by the rain, which
penetrates the stone in greater or
less degree, according to it's physical
structure, and combines with the con-
stituents of the stone, causing it to
decay, SO that any contrivance that
will check the admission of water
will be most likely to succeed in ar
resting decay.-Building World.

seem to care about the luxury that
surrounded her.

then and told her to get ready for a
drive. II am going shopping" she
said, land l want you to come with

you? Are you sick?"

feel happy at all"
"Well, what do you want?" said
her mother. for she would do every
thing to please Laura.
But Just at that minute Laura did
not hear what her mother said. for
she was intent watching little girl
who seemed to be very poor. Her
clothes were ragged and her yellow
hair fell prettily over her shoulders,
but her little hands were blue with
the cold.
"Oh. mamma, do look at that poor
little girl" cried Laura, who had for
gotten all about the drive. Cant
let her come in, because she is very
cold" and she ran to the door, not
waiting for her mothers consent.
