where the stage manager comes before
the footlights without coat and waist

up to the elbows to announce the next
number of the programme.

the stage manager, appearing in one
of the interludes, who has entranced
two hemispheres with her wonderful
vocal powers, will now render in her
inimitable style that exquisite vocal
selection entitled Down In the Val

4 gentleman in red flannel shirt
rose in the midst of the audience and
exclaimed in an impressive bass voice:
"Oh, thunder. BERTHE Allendale cant
sing for green apples"
The manager. who had started to
leave the stage, halted and turned. An
ugly light flashed from his eye. He
came down from the stage. walked
slowly up to the man in the red shirt
and said, You'll git out of here" This
Invitation being declined, combat fol-

Chairs were broken, and both combat
ants were bruised and battered Final.
~ the man in the red shirt was elected,
and the manager walked back to the
stage and faced the audience with q
bloody face and clothing torn and tat

for breath, and then announced in
pressively:
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding.
Miss BERTHE Allendale will now sing
her exquisite vocal selection entitled

And she sang it with great applause
and an encore.

God of our fathers. known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumuit and the shouting dies.
The captains and the kings depart.
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest We forget-lest we forget,
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire.
Lo. all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the nations. spare us yet,
Lest we forget-leSt We forget.
If, drunk with sight of power, we looss
Wild tongues that have not thee in
awe
Such Boosting as the gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-leSt we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And, guarding, calls not thee to
guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord!
Amen.

The Western Union Life COM
pany's record, both for profits and
for insurance written during it's
first year of business, has never be-
fore been equaled, and exceeds the
record made in 1907 by the Guardian
Life of Seattle, and the Oregon Life
of Portland combined. Each of the
coast companies is slightly older
than the Spokane company, and each
has done a business of which it may
be proud.
Fred D. Culver, formerly manager
for the Mutual Life in Idaho, and
prior to that manager for the same
company for North Dakota, has been
made agency manager for the Spo-
kane company, which has now more
than so agents in the field in Wash
ington and Idaho
The business of the company is
growing rapidly and during 1908 it
will enter Montana, Oregon and
probably British Columbia, and dur
ing 1909 will put agents in the state
of California.

The fight fans of Tonopah were
treated to two scraps last evening at
the Big Casino. The first was a six
round go between Spider WEIGH and
Young Joe Cans. The rounds were
full of picturesque lighting and the
wonderful foot work of Spider saved
him from injury time after time. The
affair was called a draw.
The second fight was between Sid
Humphreys and Howard Troutman
In this the audience was treated to
the genuine article and in every
round great number of vicious
blows were exchanged. At the end
OF the fourth round both men were
nearly allsin; with Troutman having
the best of 1t. At the end of the
nth Humphreys again was nearly all
in and was unable to stop the blows
of the colored lad. At this point

ed this question:
| did Judge Bartine agree to post
pone the Reno rate case until after a
decision was rendered by Judge Far

Mr.. Shaughnessy replied: Judge
Bartine made no agreement upon
that point. His suggestion was that
the hearing be set for some time near
the holidays, and his reason was that
It would take that long properly to
assemble the proofs for the presen-

commissioners, is involved In the
