and ostracism. Affected by this pos
ture are the relations of a woman and
her proud, hard-headed husband, the
love affair of the self-sacrificing man
and his fancee, the sister of the
tempted woman, the attitude towards
the morally justified husband Of the
wife's honest, frank but blinded par
entS, the personal, social and military
reputation of the man who assumed
the guilt, and the vengeance sought
on the tempter by the lover of a girl
whom the former had ruined before
turning his attentions to the wife.
To all Of this, there is a POLITICALLY
just denoueMent, for husband and
wife are reunited in the discovery of
her love for him, the lovers find mlI-
tual- happiness in the explanation that
clears the youth of all guilt and dis
honor in the eyes of his sweetheart,
her parents. his comrades and the
world and the tempter is killed by the
lover of his victim, the instrument of
revenge, obtaining immunity from
punishment through the operations OF
the unwritten statutes that are termed
Arizona justice" Mr.. Thomas has
handled these attendant circums tances
with a great deal sOf technical skill
and has been successful in imparting
to his play a quality of atmosphere

The plot is the simplest and most
direct. While it is broadly farcical, its
novelty cannot be denied. 1t fairly
scintilates with brightness of dialogue
and keenneSs of satire upon human
motives and society manners. 1t is not
often that the nasty ways of nice peo-
pie are so wildly, scathingly, and yet
so good humoredly set forth. The
text is abundantly supplied with pithy
wit and biting satire, inSomuch. in

the audience. was not laughing aloud !"
The principals in the story are The
Duke and Lady Henrietta Addison.
although there is another pair, Henry
Pitt-Welby and Mrs. MulhoIland, who
have quite as much TO do and to say.
The Duke has proposed to Lady
Henrietta several times, unsuccessful

ceives the idea of abducting the lady,
and holding her a prisoner in his cas-
tie until she consents to marry him.
To save appearances. Mrs. Mulhol-
land is decoyed there to act as chap

the adventure becomes a scandal in
the press, much to the evaporation
of all, especially to Mrs. Mulholland
who reads:

to escape have so far proved unsuc-

COUGH REMEDY
A MEDICINE OF REAL WORTH
AND MERIT.
It Not Only Cures Colds and Grip
But Prevents Them From Re-
sulting in Pneumonia.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy il intended
especially for acute throat and lung diseases,
Of which colds, Group and whooping cough
are the most common. Those who have
used 1t for years and are in position 70
know its real value, assert that It is with
out an equal for the treatment of these dis
eases. 1t not only cures colds and grip, but
counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
1t has come into almost universal use - :
preventiveand cure for Group, and has never
been known to fail.
In cases Of whooping cough it keeps the
cough loose, expectoration easy and renders
the paroxysms Of coughing less frequent and
less severe, depriving that disease Of all dam
gerous consequences.
It is pleasant to take, which is Of much
importance when the medicine must b given
to small children.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance, and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult.
II is an ideal remedy both for adults and
children, and we think the most perfect and
most efectual yet produced in any country.

that should be clearly understood, not
only by the members Of the general
assembly and by the educators OF the
state, but by the public generally. A
