PACKED To The DOORS
LATE coMERs HAD TO STAND AT:
THE GEM LAST NIGHT UNTIL
THE FIRST PERFo RMANcE WAS,
OVER, SO GREAT WAS THE At
TENDANCE.

I. In all the. weeks that the Gem the
atre has been running here it has not
put up better bills than those of the
past week, and the appreciation of this
fact was found in the large audiences
nightly.
The bill for this week is equally
good, and big audiences are predicted
for it. The new schedule will begin
this afternoon and evening, and will
consist of the pictures, 'Circumstan-
tial Evidence" aThe Messengers
Mistake and the feature drama,
Held by Bandits ct
Percy Moore has a new and fetching
song entitled where the Moon Shines
on the Pennsylvania Hills and those
who have heard him rehearse say it
is fine. 5}
"Silent TAFT and Amee'' are the
vaudeville features of the week. They
are known as the European Eccentric
Wizards, direct from ''The Moss, Stoll,
Brill, and Grandon and Livermore
Tour and London Halls" presenting
an entirely new and original act con-
sisting of novelty tricks and comedy
effects.
SILENT TAFT should be featured as
the eighth wonder of the world. "a
magician who knows enough to keep
his mouth closed" Mr.. TAFT makes
+, people laugh in spite Of themselves
by smart magic and eccentric bust
ness, and he is known as one of the
best palmists on the stage today. The
comedy portion of his act is entirely
different from anything seen here or
of any act on the American or English
stage. ....-... ...E.
Noel and Thomas, the very clever
and popular vaudeville team, which
has been playing to capacity at the
Gem the past week, will leave tonight
for Fargo, where they go to open the
new vaudeville house, the Bijou, o.
that city. This team, which has beer
the hit of the season, has made them
selves very popular in this city BY
their very clever work. :.

CHOICE OF A BRlAR PIPE.

Oct One Which Is Smoota Inside the
. Bowl, Says the celleeian. N
A collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color of his briar-
wood pipes and pretends to know q
lot more about them than any ordi.
nary smoker spent half an hour In q
tobacco shop a few afternoons ago
making an addition to his already
large collection. ID: . i ~%-z.s- ~
Some pipes he discarded because Of
the grain in the wood; there was too
much stripe or too much birds eye,
he remarked. When, he found one
which suited him he put it aside until
he, had gathered three or four which
apparently were all right, ard then
came his final test to pick out the
best Of them all. -. 81, -. :
!. He held each with the howl toward
the light, then slowly rubbed his little
finger inside. Two he, discarded, then
repeated the operation with the 9th

out, her hat blew off, and Mr.. Hutch
inson stopped the team and got out
to chase the headgear. Without a
word, and apparently as If suddenly
siezed with a sportfve idea, the girl
grabbed the whip, dashed the horses
and drove on, leaving Hutchinson on
the prairie in state hard to be de-
scribed. He at first thought it was.
some joke, but soon found it was not,
for the girl went on ait top speed and
he was left to foot it to the nearest
farm house, where he made inquiries
and got saddle horse to follow his
team. &s .sz:5.t, ,,.@F :...ry.s.,>,
The first place the girl stopped at
was L. S. Langedahl's where she -,-ove
in with such speed as to Cause the be-
lief that the team was running away.
Here she told a shasty tale of having
been pursued by crowd Of men who
were bent on killing or,harmiang her.
At once horses were gottens and the
men started out on the trail to hunt
up the malefactors. The girl did not
stop long after telling her tale. but
turned the team out to the road. and
went on. As soon as Mr.. Hutchinson
arrived and explained matters, he was
given a horse and went on. but, sup,
posing the team had been driven
along the regular road, he followed
the hoMeward route, al though tl3n girl
never had been over the course belize.
Arriving at Sorenson's, he learned she
had no. e.yiyed, and the next thina
was to start hunt. This was at once
done, and continued 4 all night and
through Friday, with no results ul
to nightfall. :.c ..,. .e,-

driven through stout wire fence at q
pasture, and out again, land again
through, the fence having been, broken
in four places. But no rig was visible
although it would seem that the team
must have been cut to pieces by thai
time.
Saturday night, however, the youns
woman was brought to town, and i
was learned that she had been wander
ing around the prairie some twenty
miles northwest Of Steele, and sons
miles from where she had first take1
charge of the team. She was in a sat
condition Of almost total COLLAPSE

Russian farmer about nine miles from

Did you ever give thought to
the fact that it is largely due
to the material aid and en-
couragement given by banks
and bankers that this is coun-
try of homes and home own

Do you realize that this aid
and encouragement, which has
been such a help In making inn
provements and advancing
property values, was possible
only because many people de-
posted in banks their surplus
money, the money for which
they had no immediate use?
