mer'' stay at home. Those who enjoy
the farcica1 nonsense type of show, give
up at the box office and laugh heartily.
The show is of the kind where the tall
comedian slaps the short comedian in
the face in reply to a civil question,
and the third comedian falls over every
obstruction. The second comedian tears
a scrap from piece of stage money to
make change. The jokes are rather
old, but they get the hand, just as they
did in their youth. Murray and Mack
are rather old, but until old age drives
them from the boards, they will con-
tinue to slap each other on the face
and say 'begorry." Meanwhile, thou
sands of seat holders will laugh at the
jokes of 20 years ago.

The famous old slap-stickers, Murray
and Mack, make no pretensions for their
show. THE Sunny Side of Broadway
but it must be said in justice to them
that in its class, this show is above the
average. The cast is not stinted in the
way of glad garments, the girls are
fairly good looking, and the old team,
sadfaced Murray and his telescoped
partner. continue to get the glad hand.
Max Bloom, the Hans Nix-ian Dutch

THE NEW POsTOFF1CE.

News of the selection of site for
Greeley's new federal building was
received with considerable satisfac-
ton by most of the business men
Monday. While there were several
locations that aspired to the honor,
the site chosen will give general sat
isfaction, If for no other reason than
that it will do away with the un-
slightly shacks that have so long
stood on the corner of Eighth av-
enue and Eighth street.
1t is now up to Greeley, the site
having been selected, to get the
building. 1t is said that "all things
come to him who waits" but If he
keeps hustling they will come a
whole lot quicker. No matter where
you wanted the postoffice located,
that part Is settled, and II you all
pull together, using every influence
and every bit of pull you have with
the powers at Washington, it is pos
sible to have the new building COM
plete In three years. If we sit down
and wait the convenience of the de-
partment we will be buying stamps
from a rented building for the next
ten years.
Get busy!

BUILD MORE HOUSES.

1t is said that there has been no
better time to build homes than the
present, for several years. Lumber
and labor will be higher next year
than this. Money is comparatively
easy for building purposes. This be-
ing true. why wait? Greeley's cry
ing need is more moderate-cost
houses, for rent and for homes Rents
are high enough to give an excellent
return for the investment, and it is
safe to say that at this time tenants
could be found for 100 fiveroom
houses at $50 to S25 per month
within the limits of Greeley. Let
our local capitalists get busy at once
and prepare to meet the need.

tisement of book on cancer, ad-
vising the reader to send for ii, and
see If he had IA cancer, as all the
signs and symptoms were given,
with the added information that
more than half the people were SO
afflicted without knowing it. Surely
when ignorance is bliss, 'twould be
folly To purchase wisdom ut the eX-

investigated his symptoms by the

covered that he was afflicted with

advanced that death could be cX-
pected ut any time. His sole cN-
ccption was "hOusc-maid's knee, ~

stunts in which we are obliged to
indulge in the spring, hanging cur
tains, polishing floors, climbing up
and down stcp-Iadder and carry
ing To- and from the attic. Forum
ately, the "housc-naid' knee" is
only n temporary ailment but the
impression that you have some Of
the more serious diseases might
cause great deal Of unhappiness
for the mind, and that is IA wonder

And cheer her heart with words OF sweet

May never know that you so kindly meant
