Countess of STAFFORD being responsible
for It: THE king was at dinner. Next
TO him was a titled woman whom he
was entertaining with some extraordi-
nary anecdotes, which the lady found
it impossible to believe were true. She
therefore answered. oh. sir, / beg your
pardon, but / really do not think that
can be true To her surprise be in

marin, there is not a word of truth in

Particle Stock-Genpett.

Geo. F. Carroll and Miss Ida Parks
appear at the Gennett theater on Mon
day evening with the Particle Stock
company, in Justin Adams latest play
of college life. The College Girl" a
pretty playlet taken from life at one
of our big colleges, and the plot be-
ing laid around members of the foot
ball team. The story is an ideal one,
blending politics, business. love and In
trigue. The characters are clear and
attractive in many ways. Mr.. Adams
with his adoptiveness in stagecraft
has constructed an attractive drama
which works its way to many interest
ing situations and climaxes. Mr.. Car
roll will have an heroic role of Billie,
coach of the football team, which will
demand some very good acting on his
part. and Miss Ida Parks will be seen
in the role of the girl.

The Main Attraction.


In going through busy street
or down a quiet place
It's nice % meet a pretty girl
Who has a smiling face,
For. though you know your chance IL
nil
To win her as flame.
II sort of brightens up the day
To meet her just the same
There may be pictures on tho wall,
There may be sunsets rare,
There may be landscapes stretching
wide
And TO the eve most fair.
But as for sights that really please
a creature IN a frock
With winning ways has all OF them
Pushed neatly of the block.
See as she trips along the way
With light. elastic tread
She turns the neck OF every man
And likewise turns his head.
Though for appearance sake the stare
Is modified a bit.
They'd like to follow her away
Did custom but permit
There's nothing in the world can lend
Rich color TO the scene
Nor brighten up a dreary day
Like dainty Miss Sixteen.
She comes and tosses back her head
In challenge pert. though prim,
And man confesses 10 himself
That she looks good to him.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

It is never too early in the year TO
begin to make Christmas presents.
and just now there are many new
ideas which may be picked up even
during a mornings walk. Take. for
instance. the matter Of workbags.
They may be made in all shapes and
sizes. they may be fashioned of
almost all materials. and when done
they are always useful
This year cretonne is particularly
desirable and It may be purchased i'm
many delightful designs. There is the
heavy corded variety: there Is the
soft. rather translucent kind of
domestic make and there Is the fas-
cinating shadow cretonne, always so
dainty and pretty.
As TO the bags, there are the ample
ones made to draw up with a ribbon
or those made on a stick These last.
by the way, are worth nothing. Their
contents are unlikely TO get out OF
place, and pockets may be arranged
all around them SO each individual
help to sewing may be quickly and
easily found. Tho sticks on which
they are made are purchased at al
most any hardware store for one cent
apiece. and they may be round or Hat
like those used in the bottoms of win
dow curtains.
Bags strung on ribbons need rings
and the best are OF white bone. The,
are for sale at art needloworb shop.
and they cost little. 1t is a good idea
to give the dainty lady a glove baa
fitted with different colored cottons
needles, scissors and ahimblc.
For the matron what could he nice
than a darning bag with a china eg,
or one OF the patent darners and sew
eral sizes of darning needles?
For the girl a white bag is nice
This may have cottons. fine an,
coarse, and all kinds OF needles with
in.
Bags may be of other materials
than cretonne. Little whit embroid
cred bags are nice and lively one
are made of large silk handkerchief
or bandanas. bright with color.
/ Bags may be round or fiat. som
are built on a foundation of covere
cardboard. and the most beautiful O
all are of pompadour ribbon gathore

THE OYSTER IN DISREPUTE

In all the civilized world, during all
ages. the oyster has been regarded as
a rare morsel OF food, especially priced
by epicures. says What to Eat 1t
has been the favorite dish Of gour-
niands among kings and the nobility,
and almost forever has occupied first
place on every well arranged menu.
1t is only of recent years that it has
begun to sink into disrepute, and now
many people can be found whose ex-
perience has taught them t. beware
OF it, Strange cases Of sickness and
death following Immediately after a
feast on oysters. epidemics of typhoid
fever which have spread consterna-
tlon throughout whole municipalities.
and knowledge of the vile manner in
which oysters and fish arc treated for
the market are responsible for this
sudden reversal Of regard for the tooth
some bivalve.
1t is the greed of the trade which
has brought about this condition of
affairs. 1t took advantage of mans
weakness for the salt water mollusS,
and has stopped at no device TO hurry
the product TO the market. and to
cheaper tho cost Of handling and pro-
duction. The result is embalmed
oysters oysters bleached and sicken-
ed from soaking in fresh water, oysters
spoiled from long refrigeration. and
oysters dangerous from disease germs
impaired by the foul water in which
they are grown. Hence there is rca-
son for the aversion toward oysters
and a certain firm which recently went
into the hands of receivers and which
has enjoyed a monopoly on the fish
and oyster trade in the west is better
able to explain that reason than any
others are.
The people of the West are they
who suffer the greatest impositions
in buying and eating oysters. Far re-
moved from the coast their supply
must be shipped to them from Ions
distances. and the very arrogant trust
which had nearly monopolized The
Western trade, seemed TO think tha
anything was good enough for the
West Hence the West has got tn
refuse from the pickings of the Eas
and the South. Not only this. but th'
Western people have been made I,

treatment to boric acid and othe
harmful preservatives. Excepting fish
there is no food product which suf

dered poisonous.
