They Lacked Team Work,

There was small respect in Captain
Maybury's mind for the brains of the
artists whom he and his wife harbor-
ed and fed during the summer They
are well meaning lot of folks as
ever liyed,' he said confdentially to a
neighbor, "but when it comes to COM
mon sense every last living one of 'em
needs guardeen."
"Act kind O. crazy, l. reckon" said
the neighbor.
well, faint so much that" admit
ted Captain Maybury, "as it's that they
lack gumption and sprawl. Two Of
'em were talking to me about the
sunset light last night. We work
fast as we can, but we can't ketch it,
they told me. 1t fades so fast, and
before you know it the glow is dead

talk, but that did seem plumb foolish.
If two of you can't ketch It, l says,
why in tunket don't the whole eight
OF yon set to work together, same as
If you had fence to paint?' But If
you'll believe me, l could tell by their
looks they'd never thought of such a
thing before. They're simple, that's
what they are."-Youth's Companion

The Old Time Almanac.

ut is astonishing what faith the old
school farmer used to put in his al
manac," said a farmer of the new
school, Il graduate of an agricultural
college.
My father was an old school farm
er, and in June he would consult his
almanac to see if we were going to
have a clear Christmas What though
the almanac usually went back on
him? Sometimes its predictions were
true, and one accurate prophecy coun-
terbalanced in my fathers mind fifty
miscures.
'sOnce l crossed the ocean with the
old man. We sat at the captains table,
and the first night out my father, lay
ing down his spoon, said anxiously:
Captain, hev We got an almanac
on board!
NO the captain answered
"The old man frowned and shook his
head.

Weeds Worth Millions.

New Zealand fax is one Of a mum.
Der of wild weeds that yield their
gatherers great wealth. The fax. the
strongest known, grows Wild in
marshes. When 1t is cultivated it
dwindles and its fbers become brittle
and valueless.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out of
it hasheesh, or keef, Is made. Keef
looks like fakes Of chopped straw. 1t
is smoked in pipe; it is eaten on
liver; it Is drunk in water; it produces
an intense, delirious happiness, and
among orientals 1t takes the place Of
beer and whisky.
The most valuable weed Of all the
wild growths Is the seaweed. The

yield something like $65, 1000 900 year.

Ono to Three at Whist.

The late Senator Hoar was extreme
~ fond of whist, which he played with
remarkable skill.
A friend says that the only time he
ever knew the usually placid and genial
man from Massachusetts, to be abso-
lutely impatient was when on one occa-
sion at whist the senator had an unusu-
ally stupid partner. Notwithstanding
this handicap, the pair were winning
right along even against good players.
In the middle Of one game some one
paused behind the senator's chair and
asked. "Well, senator. how are you get

BEN HENDRICKS IN
YoN YoNSoN TOMORROW.

Amusement lovers are awaiting the
appearance of our old and tried Swed-
ish friend, lyon Yonson," at the Opera
House tomorrow. Ben Hendricks is ad-
vertised as the actor that has made
millions laugh, and in the character of
"Yon" he is destined to make those
same millions laugh again, and also
shed a few tears, as there are many
pathetic touches in this big, good ma
tured, lovable Swede. lyon Yonson''
is a comedy drama of the polite kind,
containing nothing in the least sug.
gestive. Mr.. Hendricks singing spe.
cialties are original and will doubtless
prove an especially enjoyable feature.
This actor has been identified with
Swedish plays for many years. His
representations embrace "Ole Oleson''
and a "Yenuine Yentleman," but in
neither of these has the public shown
the interest that has always been man.
ifest in his first real success, lyon
Yonson," which he has this season re.
vived on a more elaborate scale than
ever, and in which he will be seen at
the Opera House Thursday evening.

ing keenly and Score Expected to
Be to the Good at End.

Tonight the celebrated Muscatine

the gymnasium and the locals are do
ing some great work. There is every
reason to expect that the game will
be replete with mrilliant playing. The
visiting team Is making a tour of the
country from coast to coast, n the
article of ball that is played by them
will enthuse the blood Of the most
sluggish. The game itself requires no
technical knowledge TO appreciate, as
It is the case with many of the college
games. Anyone al grasp the idea OF
the game without previous knowledge.
and no one can witness it without be-
coming wonderfully interested.
Local Team in Fine Form.
Our local team has made wonderful
Improvement within the last two weeks
and their friends look for a continu'
ance of the form recently shown in
their practice games. Last evening
the score was rs to so and the game
was a hummer. The lineup Of the 10
cal team will be as follows: Center
wheeler; guards, Moir and Thompson
forwards, Hunton and Corthell.
This may be the next to the las
game played by the university team in
this city this season, and it will be ar
opportunity for the friends Of the team
to give them encouragement. TheiI
Text game will be with the C. B. G
team at Cheyenne.
Good Work BY Locals.
Wheeler as center is doing excellen'
work in shooting goals from the field
and from the foul line. Corthell has
devoted time to shooting field goals
and will do some excellent work to
night. Moir and Thomson will be ex
pected to keep the visitors score dowr
and NOR is making some really phe
romenal shots from the field. Hunter
is playing his usual game. His friend:
are hoping that he will show the won
derful form displayed by him so Otter
in practice. If so, the chances of thu
local team are better than at any tint
this year.

THE GIRL AND THE STAMPEDE
AT OPERA HOUSE SATURDAY

'The Girl and the Stampede" might
justly be termed 1.-THE Girl from the
Golden West" as the scenes are laid
in that same atmosphere, breathing
that natural simplicity that wins and
holds ones admiration. At the Opera
House next Saturday night, February
s. In "The Girl and the Stampede
Miss Hayes Lambert has found a We
hicle well worth her talent. In the
first act of 1.-THE Girl and the STAN
pede" Miss Lambert wins your admi-
ration. In the second act she simply
intensifes and thrills one with her
wonderful personality and admirable
acting. The second act would be
termed the stronger of the four great
acts, yet in the writer's opinion the
third act brings Miss Lambert nearer
to the audience. In her simple girl
ishness she cleverly brings forth
cheers of approval by her excellent.
clever intensity by which she compels
her uncle to produce the evidence of
her fathers forgery. Prices to this
entertainment are 70 and so cents.
