It is an old farce. but a merry one. that
Is being served at the Burwood for the de-
l~ectation OF the carnival visitors. Director
Bacon has put the spice into the perform
ance, and Manager johnson has trimmed
the front Of the theater in imitation OF a
circus entrance. so as TO create the at
mosphere' for the bill, and from the ex-
trance to the exit the time is spent under
conditions that are conducive to gaiety. II
has been a great nan years since the
Sidney Grundy farce was first offered to
the world. Roland Reed and Alice Hast
ings gave 1t to the west, thirty years ago,
and it has served many times since. al
though the hast time II was presented in
Omaha was by Rose Cughlan ut the old
Boyd theater on Farnam street. Some OF
you may remember when that was. Rose
surely couldn't do the part now. It is a
story that never gets old, and its fun is
just as jolly now as when it was new. A
young husband foollshly goes on an explor-
ing expedition and encounters a young
woman who is connected with the circus.
She learns his name and address and Wis
its him at his home. His watchfuI moth
er-in-law is deluded into the belief that
the girl with the free and easy manner is
the expected niece of the young husband.
and pushes along a marriage between the
interloper and her son. In the meantime
the real niece turns up, and the wife, and
several other things transpire to complicate
matters, so that the curtain goes down on
the second act on a veritable whirlwind of
disaster. In the third act the tangle OF
lies is set Alright and all are made happy
but the mother-in-law.
Miss Elliott, looking unusually pretty and
attractive in her red costume, has the role
of the "clrcus girl" which is not quite in
her line, but she gives 1t an air of fetching
freedom and slangy nonchalance that
makes each point stand clear and sharn
and in every way aids the progress of the
farce from beginning to success. Ii merely
proves that she can do almost anything IL
she only sets her mind to the task.
Mr.. Grew is the husband, who Is Just a
little bit uxorious as we'll as a bit of a pris
and gives a very good imitation of a man
who has gotten into a very unpleasant pre-
dicament. Mr.. Bacon is happy in a comedy
part much to his suiting, and is doing his
usual finished work. Mrs. Bacon is clever
in the role of the meddlesome mother-in-
law, and adds a great deal to the fun of the
piece. Mr.. Todd, Mr.. Connor. Miss Beyers
and Miss Stearns are also in the cast and
doing we'll.
No matinee will be giyensst the Burwood
this week on Tuesday, but beginning with
Wednesday afternoon a matinee perform
ance will be given each afternoon. On
Wednesday evening the curtain will not 20
up till after the electrical parade has
passed.

To a well filled house at the Boyd last
night this striking comedy OF McCutcheon's
was presented by a company which is capa-
BILE Of getting all the fun there il out Of
the perplexities OF Monty Brewster. the
young man whose luck and friends made
It so hard for him to carry out his COM
mission to spend his entire fortune of
one million dollars in one year. The comedy
was witnessed by an ususually large unday
night audience, and II the audience did
not get a fun measure OF fun out of II,
the frequent bursts of applause and the
roars Of laughter that interspersed the four
acts were decidedly misleading.
The humor OF the play is very genuine
and is compellingly laughable without re-
sorting to trickery. The situations the
young millionaire finds himself IN while
trying to get rid OF his wealth, with luck
and friends against him, are novel and are
well worked out.
The general conception Of the play is a
reversal OF the ordinary. Monty Brewster.
just after coming into an estate of a mil
lion, left him by his grandfather, also be-
came heir to an unele's estate worth $1,000
700. But there is an enmity between grand
father and uncle and an unusual provision
is tackled TO the will. Monty is required
By the uncle to get rid of the entire 81, OO0,OOO
left him by his grandfather within one
year in order to become the successor 70
his uncle's wealth. Further. he was to do
his spending discreetly. without furnishing
his good name and without letting anyone
else into his secret. He wins, OF course
but only after difficulties which give the
play its life.
The company is a capable one. Mr..
80
Brewster, gives a genuine presentation OF
the young spender, and brings out the
humor OF the complicated scenes naturally.
He earns praise by resisting the temptation
to overacting which the interpreter Of the
role might easily yield to. Miss Edith

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
IS often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
Il practise from seven to eight hours
a day and study Harmony two hours"
writes a Mich. music student. Last
September | was so nervous l could
only practise a few minutes at a time,
and mother said would have to drop
my music for year.
This was terribly discouraging as
l couldn't bear the thought of losing
whole year of study. Becoming con-
WINGED that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, de.
cided | would test it for while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and l thought I had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
OF coffee, and by November felt more
like myself than for years, and was
ready to resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished l am not any more nervous
than when | began.
Il cannot too highly recommend

FILET NET AND EMBROIDERY.
Combination Just Now the Rage of
the Season in Paris.

Filet net, the rage of the season in
Paris, is an ideal material to elabor.
ate with intricate embroidery. The
square mesh is transparent, so that ii
may be done from a picture taken
from any book or from the design
shown in a newspaper. The net is
basted on the picture and the out
line is made by darning around the
design, using heavy needle and the
new coarse wood fiber. When all the
outlines are in it is easy enough to fill
1t in by darning the net closely with
silk floss or chenille.
If the net is for a waist to be worn
with linen suit the outline is pretty
done in soutache braid, filled in with
coarse linen thread. For dress moth
ing could be more beautiful than q
filet net embroidered in chenille dots,
or If an evening dress is to be made
the dots may be outlined in chenille
and filled in with gold or silk thread
or vice versa. The band to go around
the open neck and over the shoulders
may be band of net about three
inches wide embroidered solid in gold
or silver and chenille.

"SINNER" CAN COME AGAIN.
Thiefs Visit Resulted in Nice Margin
of Profit to Farmer.

If there are any more chicken
thieves like the one who entered his
hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In
graham Of Park Mills, N. Y, will glad
ly furnish chart of the grounds and
guarantee to tie up the dog. A few
mornings ago Mr.. Ingraham entered
the hennery, and to his amazement
found dozen fowls in place of the
ones that he had missed after the
visit of the thief. He also found hang
ing to nail in the building a scrawl
which said: Mister Farmer, | was
wicked when | stole them chicks of
you, but wringed their necks when I
hooked 'em from the roost, so could
not put 'em back. Am awful sorry
done it, and will prove what l say by
bringing you other chickens which I
never stole. Them l took were COM
mon chicks, these are blooded. Never
will / steal any more. Sinner" With
such a conscience, the sinners resolu-
ton is evidence of good business judg.
ment, for Mr.. Ingraham says the
fowls he received are worth at least
twice as much as the ones whose
necks were "wringed" when they
were hooked"

SAFETY FOR CHILDREN.
Warning to Boards Of Education, Sup
erintendents and Educators.

erintendents and Eoucators.
The following circular has been sent
out by State Superintendent McBrlen
and Labor Commissioner Ryder:
Owing to the recent calamity at Col
linwood, n suburb of Cleveland, o., we
deem It our duty to call the attention
Of boards of education, city superin-
tondents, high school and village prin.
cipals, teachers and other officials
throughout the state who are respon-
sible for the lives of the school chill
dren entrusted to their care to the law
regulating fire escapes and egress from
public buildings.
TO guard against loss of life in this
state we urge upon all officials whose
duty II Is to enforce the aforesaid acts
to see that the provisions of these laws
are strictly observed. We regret to
say that there are at least 300 public
school buildings in villages, towns and
cities in Nebraska where existing ar.
rangements fail to meet the require
ments Of the law. In many places the
situation is criminal.
II is the small details that are too
often overlooked or entirely neglect
ed, which in the event of great emer-
gencies would be the line between
safety and danger. All doors should
swing outward. Windows should never
be allowed to become bound or neg
lected to that extent that they Will
not work with touch of the finger.
Escapes of noncombustibe material
should be erected where needed. The
need should be regarded as immediate
rather than in the distant future.
We offer the suggestion that in addi-
ton to exits and fire escapes provided
for by law there should be on every
floor OF school building two or more
stories In height supply of ropes in
every room, knotted and securely fas-
tened to the walls ready for immediate
use. The boys should be required to
practice descending these ropes occa-
sionally and the girls should be re.
CURED to watch the boys at practice.
There should be frequent fire drills
in every school, but 1t should be re-
membered that in fire drill 1t is as
important to see in how orderly
manner the pupils can leave the build
ing, as well as how quickly it can be
done.

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test, it Is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
helated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor Of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it Is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow.

DIVORCE AT STOCK YARDS.
Transportation and Yards to Be Han.
died bv Separate Corporatiops


Lincoln-After consultation of
members of the State Railway com
mission and Frank Ransom represent
Ing the Union Stock Yards company
OF South Omaha, it was decided that
the company would organize new
company which will manage and con-
troll the transportation facilities of the
old company. This new company will
then make its report to the railway
commission in accordance with the de-
cision of the supreme court which held
the stock yards common carrier.
The railway commission holds it has
nothing to do with the price paid for
feed stuff by shippers because the
business of transportation ceases when
the cattle are unloaded into pens and
therefore its jurisdiction ceases at the
time.

John Lawrence Toole, the most pop.
ular low comedian of his day, once
gave a supper to so of his friends, and
wrote a note to each of them privately
beforehand, asking him whether he
would be so good as to say grace, as
no clergyman would be present. 1t is
said that the faces of those so men

tapped on the table, as a signal for
grace, was a sight which will never

USE CARE IN SELECTING BELT
Good Idea for Large Women to Avoid
1t Entirely.

A belt should not be too deep, and a
tall, slender person is usually long
wasted and the deep belt gives a
sort of grotesque length to the waist
line. A small person cannot wear the
deep girdle belt, for the dividiSg line
is completely out of harmony with the
rest of the costume. About the only
time a deep belt can be worn is when
soft dress of chiffon is worn and
the girdle belt has the appearance of
being part of the costume and no
harsh outlines are shown. A one and
one-halt inch belt is neatest and some
can wear the one-inch belt Very
large women should avoid a belt en-
tirely, when possible, having the waist
made to come over the skirt. This is
only possible when one is wearing a
costume. If shirt waist is worn the
belt should be narrow and well drawn
down in front. The large woman will
find the belt pin more to her advan
tage than belt buckle, for with it
she can adjust the belt in the exact
place where wanted. A large woman
can wear the hip-length coat and it
is always dressy, much more SO than
many of the longer coats.

AS TO OPERATING EXPENSES.
Reports for Seven Months of Nebraska
Railroads.

The excess of operating revenues
over operating expenses has been de-
creased during the last seven months,
according to the reports of seven rail.
roads to the interstate commerce com
mission. The only exception is the
Burlington, which reports it's operating
expenses for the last seven months as
being 6S per cent of it's revenues, while
for two years before its operating ex.
penses were 71.21 per cent of It's rev.
enue. The following table shows the
relative percentage OF income required
during the last seven months and the
