Dear Sirs: We can't get over talk

Both houses are exactly alike and
both painted at same time by j. M.

One took 15K gallons Devoe; the
other 25 gallons Of another paint sold
at same price.
That IS gallon paint is weak and is
per cent. whiting; that's why it took
9H gallons more.
Yours truly,

MARRYING MARY.

That charming and truly American,
Marie Chill, more original perhaps,
than any other woman who has ap-
peared on the American stage since
its inception, will be seen here at the
Salt Lake Theatre next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
Wednesday matinee, in the new must
cal play, Marrying Mary" which has
been done for her by Edwin Milton
Royle with music by Silvio Helm and
the lyrics by Benjamin Hapgood
Burt.
Great things are expected from
Marrying Mary" by its friends. 1t
is spoken of as cure for all the
trashy musical comedy with which
the American theatre public has been
surfeited. There is plot, because
plot was first secured and then the
musical comedy was created. In the
words of Marie Cahill, if you want
musical comedy, "frst get your plot
then go ahead"

monologue turn that is said to be ,
gem it would seem that Manager lem
nings is starting off the year on the
right foot.
Slang handed out hot from the bat
always goes over the plate for
strike. The headliner is Bert Leslie,
who modestly claims to be the King
of Slang. He carries his own com
pany Of five people with him and pre-
sents the comedy oddly, "Hogan's
Visit" which, in the language of the
press agent is "a scream"
Mary Dupont and company have
"comedylet" called "A Leap Year
Leap" which illustrates how feminine
persistence conquers masculine OBJ
stinacy. Daisy at times comes so
near proposing to George as to cause
chills to run up and down the spines
of the feminine members of the att
dience.
The O'Kito family of musicians
will produce "A Chinese House Of
Mystery" which they build upon the
stage, in full view of the audience.
The act is said to be startling and one
of the puzzles which the Oriental
mind frames for the amusement of
the Occident.
A novel act is that OF Adolph link,
very small man with very large
knob of ability. link impersonates
different characters, and while max
ing up for them picture machine
shows him in his dressing room with
valet preparing him for the turn.
Not only is his act unique but link
does his limitations well.
The chief fun promoters will be
Carlin and Otto, top notch German
comedians, who have budget OF wit
and parodies.
Here is what a critic on the Min
neapolis News says of the monologue
turn "Tompkins' topical talks touch
the tenderest throbs that traverse
thoughtland. Thousands testify that
those terse truths, lastly told, take
talent" What else can be said?

committee have engaged one of the

across the arroyo from the railway

the party headquarters until after

WHIMS IN WILLS.
Curious Desires Have Actuated Many
Testators.

The dryness Of the law is sometimes
alleviated by the freaks and whims
that appear In wills.
Some persons have used their wills
as means of paying off old scores. In
ITO Stephan Swain Of the parish Of
st. Olaves, London, left John Abbott
and Mary, his wife, shillings each
for halter for fear the sheriff should
not be provided" In 1898 Philip
Thickness willed that his right hand
be cut off and sent to his son lin hopes
that such sight may remind him Of
his duty to God after having so long
neglected the duty he owed to a father
who once affectionately loved him."

He left his servant an old valise. stat
ing that it contained something that
would enable him to drink. When the
valise was opened it was found to con-
tain only a red herring.
Occasionally a testator exhibits an
original idea as to the disposition Of
his body. Sieur Benoit. whose will was
probated in Paris in 1877. ordered that
he be buried in his old trunk to save
the expense Of coffin. He added that
he was attached to the trunk. 1t having

living for number of years in Paris
and was known to be very wealthy.
He was great art collector and filled
his houses with valuable works. When
he died a number IF nephews and
grand nephews turned up and contest
ed the will. They alleged that the
person known as Mr.. Rubens was
false Rubens. that his real name was
Samuel Woog and thta he had chang
ed 1t in America to escape charge
of theft preferred against him as far
back as 1876 for which he was SEN
fenced by default to six years impris-
onment. He had, it is alleged. escap-
ed to America, where he made a for
tune in the pearl trade and after be-
coming an American citizen had re-
turned to Paris to enjoy his wealth.
The court declared that under the cir
cumstances it had no jurisdiction
anent the alleged false Rubens" and
the suit will have to be decided in
America. AS to whether the allega-
ton is true or not nothing can be
known as the archives of the Palais
de Justice were destroyed by fire af-
ter 1916. Perhaps Samuel Woog was
aware Of this and therefore felt per-
fectly safe in returning to Paris.

While as matter of fact Harrison and
Mckinley had discovered Taft before
Roosevelt was much heard Of. Taft
is Roosevelt man. but he has done
more for Roosevelt than Roosevelt has
done for him. In other quarters Taft's
splendid record on the bench is held
against him by democrats in the hopes
of prejudicing labor. With Taft on
the stump, so that Americans can get
a look at the real Taft and have to
rely on fragmentary press dispatches
TAFT will gain immensely in personal
popularity.
Taft is man Of such splendid parts,
such clearness Of Judgment and such
evident sincerity, fairness and justice
that no man can see him without re-
cognizing these qualities.

story that Taft is mere fat man in
stead of the giant he is will be answer

TEDDY AND NICHOLAS,

President Roosevelt is in constant
danger from cranks. Only yesterday
the reports show that he was shot at
What did Roosevelt do? Spur his
horse and run? No. He wanted to get
out and search the bushes. Such a
spirit, admirable as it is in itself is
nothing more nor less than foolhardi-
ness in the chic executive, and still
1t is this very quality which in it's es-
sence has endeared him to the Ameri-
can people. They like it because it is
American. Can anyone for a moment
entertain the idea that the Gear Of all
the Russias, the little blood bespat-
tered While Father would have want
ed to search the bushes" for his would
be assassin
Nicholas would have beat it and
quickly, too.
1t is this element of disregard of per-
sonal danger which has been so con-
spicuous in everything that Roosevelt
has done. 1t made him the idol of the
soldiers, the hero Of the New York
City police force, and finally won him
among other things the regard of the
whole people.
In a speech in this city, Roosevelt
said. IF a man shoots another, find
that man and turn him over to the au.
thorities." That was Roosevelt's at
titude then.
1t is the same Roosevelt.
