that is not now presented by any other

spectacular performance was not
considered complete without its final

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT the Grand.

There is a bit of interesting fact
submerged within the fiction that
comprises the new Booth Harrington
Harry Leon Wilson play, The Man
From Home, and this surrounds the
character of Ivanoff, the Russian
convict of the play who has managed
to escape from Siberia, a political
play to be making his way to the
Mediterranean seaboard for the pur-
pose of getting aboard a British ship.
Ivanoff came into the play by
accident. He was not included in the
original scheme of things by any
means, and his injection into it was
the result of an automobile tour that
Messrs. Harrington and Wilson made
during the spring they were writing
their headquarters in Rome for some
weeks, when an American friend ar
rived with big touring car, and in
vited them to run down to Athens
with him. They accepted and in the
course of their ride reached Thessaly
Arriving at a small village that is
known as TheagineS they met the

his escape from Siberia. The hard
ships he had undergone had left their
effect upon him. Harrington and
Wilson took his case under their own
supervision with the result that two
days later the car arrived at a Greek
seaport and the refugee sailed at in
the morning for Egypt. 1t was
week later that the character of

opens at the Grand Wednesday and
will be repeated Thursday at the
matinee and night performances.

act, Frederick v. Bowers is the prin-

which he is the author. He is a good
singer and has an exceptionally strong
and pleasing voice.
Mrs. Jules Levy and family consisting
of her son and daughter have an inter
esting musical melange. in which the
piano, cornet and violin play the leading
parts. Mrs. Levy is also a vocalist of
no mean ability. Carl Herbert, a mag

At the Novelty.


The Novelty management made the
hit of the season when the famous
Tyrolean quintette was booked as the
headline act of this weeks bill. This
aggregation of singers certainly fulfill
every advance notice and claim that is
made for their work. The quintette is
composed of the Otto F'iechtel family,
who are Germans. Herr and frau
Feichtel have strong voices of a pleas
ing quality while the three daughters
have apparently inherited their talent
The quintette appear in Alpine costume
but they sing in English as well as the
German. They make their greatest hit
however. in warbling and yodelling.
The entire bill at the Novelty this
week is a strong one, especially the
musical feature. Yorke and Crawford
are team of blackface comedians who
star in singing and have good line OF
new jokes which take well. Yorke has
a high tenor voice while Crawford is
baritone, and their duets are pleasing
William FIeme and Laura Roth have an
interesting little act in which the petty
quarrels frequently appearing in DO
nestle life between husband and wife
are aired in an amusing manner. The
Rellmontes have a stunt in Roman
rings and hand balancing which Is far
above the average. Last but not least
is the act of the Musical Pixies, who
not only play weird instruments but
are good performers on the violin
tuba. and xylophone.

Lindsey and the Boys.

Lowell Courier Citizen The secret of the sue
cess of Judge Lindsey in Denver and OF the failure
of the juvenile court laws in this State seems to be
the very simple fact that Judge Lindsey has knack
of dealing with boys and making them look upon him
as friend who is Mt out to punish, so much to
help, Them whereas the ordinary judge has no such
remarkable gift. The result is that Judge Lindsey
can do things that almost other judge finds him
self able to do. Nor is it the fault of the other
judges, since talent of Judge Lindseys order is
rare innate gift, and is not acquisition. 1t is
pity of course because the penal system as common
" applied to our younger criminals simply con-
firms them in crime and has reformat1ve tendency
in the average case. Judge Lindseys method is to
snatch brands from the burning, by picking out the
good in such boys nature and making the appeal to
that 1t implies womany intuition, coupled with
a convincing manly sincerity and frmnesS-quall-
ties which seldom Co-eXist in such proportion as is
found in Judge Lindsey. If every city could only
find his like, and him to deal with juvenile often
ders much good would be done that cannot be ac-
complshed by prisons and ails and truant schools.
The great trouble is that such men are extremely
rare-and when found often in the schools
than the benches. In Massachusetts,, where for
two or three years have been trying sort of jul
venile court idea based moral suason rather than
punishment the cry is that it "does Mt work. and
that further decay of youthful respect for authority
is seriously threatened. How far this is due to
the system or to the lack of personal tact and under
standing of hayward children to the eXtraordln-
airy depravity of the Massachusetts children them
selves is the question. We suspect the latter ee
ment may be left out The children of Denver are
probably quite as bad those of any Massachusetts
city, when they are bad at all. The failure in this
state is probably due the lack of really extraordin
airy men like Judge Lndsey-for which lack Of tenn
permanent nobody is responsible but Dame Nature
1t takes most remarkable talent to do what the
Denver judge has done, and the men who can do it
are seldom found serving in that particular line
More's the pity We should young men
if we had more such extraordinarily gifted boy
managers the Denver has shown himself

Ruth.

She stood breast high amid the corn,
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many a glowing kiss had won.
On her cheek an autumn flush,
Deeply ripened-such blush
In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell,
Which were blacklist none could tell;
But long lashes yelled a light
That had else been all too bright.
And her hat, with shady brim,
Made her tressy forehead DIM
Thus she stood among the stocks,
Praising God with sweetest looks.

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children.

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
OF Ripley, w. Va, says: II have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &
