Hans Hanson.

Dialect plays with characters
drawn true to life and desiring with
the lights and shadows of rustic life,
have within the past few years found
very warm place in the affections
of theatregoers, Hans Hanson, which
comes to the opera house tonight, is
in this popular class and further
more, has been pronounced by com
petent critics fully ur to every ac-
cepted standard IN poet, situation
and personal. The scenes are laid in
quiet little hamlet and the char
acters introduced can be instantly
recognized as indigenous to nearly
every American country settlement
The piece bristles with strong dra-
matte action inter ;pcrsed with plen-
ty of clean wholesome comedy and
has been the biggest kind of a hit
ever since first produced. Seats on
sale at Hood & Curlin's.

Drawing a difference and then
criminalizing the difference is one OF
the latest strenuous moves of Presi7a
dent Roosevelt. Discussing the bills
now pending in congress which have
for their purpose the suppression OF
market and exchange gambling, Mr..
Roosevelt said: There is no moral
difference between gambling at
cards or in lotteries, on the rack,
and gambling in the stock market.
One method is just as pernicious to
the body polite as the other in kind,
and in degree the evil worked is far
greater But it is a far more difficult
subject with which to deal. The
great bulk of the business transact
ed on the exchanges is not only legi-
innate, but is necessary to the work
ing of our modern industrial system,
and extreme care would have to be
taken not to interfere with this bus
mess in doing away with the buck
ct shop type of operation. We should
study the successes and the failures
of foreign legislators who, notably
in Germany, have worked along this
line, SO as not to do anything harm
full. Moreover, there is a special diff
ficulty in dealing with this matter
by the federal government in fed
eral republic like ours. But If 1T is
possible to advise way to deal with
it the effort should be made, even If
only in cautious and tentative
way 1t would seem that the federal
government could at least act by for
bidding the use of the mails, tele
graph and telephone wires for mere
gambling in stocks and futures, just
as it does in lottery transactions.
In other words Mr.. Roosevelt is of
the opinion that the difference be-
tween good and bad gambling is so
very slight that it would be difficult
to differentiate between the two.
Such being the case, and the presi-
dent says that it is, good that is
closely allied to bad is pernicious in
its influence Therefore let's down
the whole works and build up on a
new foundation.

The San Antonio Express offers
this bit of consolation to the delin-
quent poll tax payer: Merely be-
cause it is now too late to get poll
tax receipt to vote with is no rea-
son that it is too early to commence
resolving to pay in time the next
time" The delinquent in Ellis coun-
ty won't be consoled by this. He has
ileges and is now under the enforced
necessity of paying an advanced
price for a poll tax receipt. But all
this will make him remember when
another tax paying time rolls
around.

The Wills Point Chronicle makes
this suggestion for candidates: The
candidate who makes his campaign
on a split-log drag may count on
success" And at the same time he
will be doing his county a great SER

to know that they are coming more
and more into popular favor in Ell
lis county. Keep your eye open for
the candidate who rides one.

FOR NERVES - AMEnicANlTls uIxl6

The Rexall Americanitis Elixir is ton
-ic, nerve food composed chiefly of free
Phosphorus, Carbohydrates, Iron Pyro-
Phosphate and Caisaya
The wonderful results of this remedy are
dne to the fact that it supplies Phosphor-
Gus to the nerve cells in condition in
which it can be immediately and easily
taken up by them.
The Carbohydrates, actual nerve-t It's
sue builders, are one of the most recent
and valuable additions to this branch of
medicine and unquestionably more eff
Gent remedy than the wellknown Hypo-

The Iron Pyrophosphates are the most

FOR cArARaal-alucu.ron

The chief ingredients of Mucu- Tone are
Gentian, Cubebs, Cascara Ssgrada, Glyc.

Gentan is recognized in medicine as one
OF the greatest tonics ever discovered. II
combines the tonic powers of all known

Cubebs have long been recognized as
specihc in the treatment of all catarrhal
conditions. It's acton, Is prompt and its
benefit almost invariable.
Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced

AExAll ~" HAIR TONIC

The famous RexaI 1897 Hair Tonic Is
composed in chief of Resorcin, Beta Naph-
thol and Pilocarpin
Resorcin is one OF the latest and most
effective germ-killers discovered by science,
and in connection with Beta Naphthol,
which is both germicidal and antiseptie,
a combination is formed which not only
destroys the germs which rob the hair Of
its nutriment, but creates a clean and
healthy condition of the scalp, which pre-
vents the development Of new germs.
Pilocarpin is well-known agent for re-
storing the hair to its natural color, where
the loss of color has been due to disease
of the scalp. 1t is not coloring matter o.
dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimulant, perfeets the
most effective remedy for hair and scalp
troubles known today. Per bottle, 50c.
