Anoka, Mimi, June "a, 1908.
DEAR FRIEND:-It is a fine morn
ing up here; the sun is shining
brightly. Last Thursday evening we
had hard rain and wind storm. The
lightning struck one of our neighbor's
barn, but as luck would have it the
man was in the barn and put out the
fire just as he saw the smoke.
The crops are not any farther ahead
than they were last year, even though
the spring is about two weeks earlier.
Yours truly,
GUST. STERN.

THE RIVALS THURSDAY,


The writers Of comedy these days
have not improved upon the work OF
a century and a quarter ago when
Richard Brinsley Sheridan penned
eThe Rivals" The natural and unc-
tious humor in this play is caused BY
the scared bravery Of Bob Acres, the
quaint, infectious manner Of the
prince OF Irish gentlemen, "Sir Lu.
cius O'Trigger," the clustering Sir
Anthony Absolute, and the awful
mutilation Of the Kings English by
Mrs. Maiaprop, while the numerous
complications Of the plot, are as
laughable as they were 40 years ago,
when the iilustrious actor, the late
Joseph Jefferson, first made his fame
as Fighting Bob" in "The Rivals"
Two OF his sons have succeeded him
and are now appearing in this com
edy with phenomenal success. Will
liam w. is the Bob Acres, while 10.
seph appears as Sir Lucius o'Trig-
ger, and the rest Of the parts are
portrayed by most capable artists
and a performance of more than Or
binary interest may be expected
when the Jefferson boys present

told he left and later returned with
the supposed customer who, after
inspecting several watches, selected
one which with chain was priced al

amount, and the customer took the

watch with him when both left the
store. On Saturday Singer returned
to collect his commission but as Mr.
Rost had not as yet cashed the check
he would not pay the commission
and Singer then informed him
that he was not anxious about the
money but wanted another watch foI
prospective purchaser. He picked
out at S33 time-piece to take to the
customer paying for it with check
