ters seemed peculiarly adapted 10 her
personality.
This year she is said to be capturing
the hearts OF theater-gOers by assuming
the role Of a young girl, the daughter
Of a wealthy Texas Cattleman, who,
when visiting in England, is COaXed into
an alliance with the Hon. Warren Bar

by chance. she hears him tell in the
most cold blooded and calculating man
ner that il was merely her wealth that
attracted him. That moment makes her
a woman with but one aim in lite-to
make her husband repent OF his bar
gain. She hides her hatred with con-
sunmate art and takes her sweet re-
venge by keeping firm hand on the
financial affairs of the family, paying
OF his debts in such a manner that he
is made ridiculous in the eyes OF his

President Roosevelt, head Of the

man had gone in his attack upon
the courts. In Il public statement
he said. "There is absolutely no
question as to the guilt of the de-
tendant, or the exceptionally grave
character Of the Offcnse,' and that
he would regard it as gross mis-
carriage Of Justice if. through tech
nicalities of any kind, the defendant
escaped the punishment which
would nnquestionably have been

who had been guilty of any such

AS to the feeding Pedro's Estella
was not fed an excessively high
grain ration at any time during the
year. The average amount of grain
fed per day was about II pounds,
which consisted of corn. oats, bran,
and oil meal; during the winter
alfalfa hay and ensilage were fed.
She was mill1ed three times a day,
and record Of the amount Of milk
was kept. Two days out of each
month the milk was tested by men

Food commission. This test was
! used to estimate the total amount OF
butter in the milk.
