The hostess kept up rapid fire OF
bright talk to cover the hiatus in the
service until the maid appeared with
the desired dish.
"What an addition is little sprin-
kle of nutmeg.'' said the bishop.
"What fine relish it gives"

Teach Pupils to Scale Ladders and

the Collinwood school disaster is like

from fires is changed. ''The children
of the Collnwood school," said he,
"according to what hear, lacked the
proper training. In my time the cap

land schools once Il week during re-

down scaling ladders and ropes, and
this method was reduced to a science

tising.
From the Bellows Falls Times.

i'hi Wv bFlttNN IallN ! lllltNs
Not SO many years ago it was almost
as unprofesSoual for bank to advertise
as for doctor. OF late banks have be.
come more sensible but doctors remain
AS hidebound as ever.
The man who has done more to popu-
J larize bank advertising in Vermont than
any dozen other men is Hon. Carroll =.
Page of HYDE Park. Ia fact he has ad-
vertised the Hyde Park Savings Bank so
l~rsistently that other banks, particu-
larly those in the northern part of the
State, have been forced to advertise for
self protection. Bank advertising i
Vermont is low considered quite the
proper thing
Keep Vermont money in Vermont for
the development of Vermont is good
rule for banking conduct and no doubt
most Vermont banks would like to fol-
low the rule if they could. 1t is simply
impossible for all the banks oi the State
to keep all Vermont money in Vermont
The Hyde Park bank is more fortunate
than others in being able to invest its
money in the State.
What appeals to the newspapers of the
State is Mr., Pages abounding faith in
the efficacy of advertising and his per
Sistency in carrying out his convictions.
That he pays his bills promptly and is no
kicker are also points Sn his favor.
Through practical business methods
and sensible publicity he has built up
in little one horse town a hide bust
ness that leads the world His ambition
seems to be to make his bank as famous
as his hide business.

DE WOLF HOPPER IN chap
PYLAND." .i.


has come from the management OF
the Salt Lake theatre than that Of the
engagement of De Wolf Hopper at
that theatre next Thursday, Friday
and Saturday with SATURDAY. matinee
in the conspicuous musical success
Of the present seanson, "Happyland,"
the comic opera which Frederic
Ranken wrote and Reginald De Koven
composed expressly for the big conn
edian. "Happyland" ran for the first
half of last season at the Lyric thea
tire, New York City, and might have
continued indefinitely but for the
fact that the Messrs. Shubert requir-
ed the theatre for the New York en-
gagement of Nine. Bernhard.
When the New York reviewers are
unanimous in praising musical show
from the standpoints of both libretto
and music, it argues exceptional mer-
its for the attraction. This was the
verdict upon "Happyland" which was
proclaimed return to the standards
of real comic opera as it existed be-
fore the day of the ragtime compos-
er and the machine musical comedy
builder. "Happyland' has been adj
mirably described as a comic OPP
era de luxe" for it represents the
very best quality of literary and
musicianly workmanship in its con-
struction, the highest forms of artis
tic development in stage productions
in its equipment of scenery and cos
tunes, and in the legitimate and c?a-
sistently artistic performance which
is given by he superior company of
singers and players with whom
Messrs. Shubert have surrounded
Mr.. Hopper.
In his libretto Mr.. Ranken started
with an ingenious idea which he Ella
borated with skill and humor. The
scene is laid in Elysia, mythical
kingdom where the people know
aught but happiness and punishment
is meted out in the form of Danish
ment to the Elysian Fields of De-
light. Ecstaticus, the King (Mr
Hopper has contracted by treaty,
eighteen years before the story OPP
ems, to marry his son to the daughter
of King Altimus of Altruria. But
Altimus has no child and the off
spring of Ecstaticus is a girl and not
boy. A double deception is under
taken by the two monarchs. Sylvia,
the Elysian princess, has been brot
up in ignorance of the difference in
sexes, but she promptly falls in love
with the Crown Prince of Fortuna
(another and rival kingdom) and the
complications are eventually straight
ened out to the satisfaction of all
concerned
Mr.. De Koven has been equally
happy in supplying dainty and eff
fective musical setting to Mr.. Rank
ems whimsical story. No composer

Man, Thief" in which Mr.. Steven
son plays four different roles. Bar
ry and Halverson have a comedy
stunt that takes we'll, as does the act
of Kronemann Bros, comedy aero
bats. Carroll and Cook, singers and
comedians, some good kinodrome
pictures and couple of pleasing Sc
lections by the orchestra complete
the bill.
That pretty little rural drama
"Way Down East" never fails to draw
a crowd, and the recent appearances
at the Salt Lake theatre Of the old
favorite found a goodly number who
had before witnessed this play, as
well as many who had never had the
opportunity, ready to laugh at the
antics of Hi Holler, Seth Holcomb,
with his life long bitters," and the
constable; to sympathze with home
less Anna Moore, and roundly ap-
plaud the sterling and upright David.
In fact "Way Down East" is drama
in which one can not help but lose
ones self, for the time being. The
company this year Is an able one,
the singing is good, the famed snow
storm is as realistic as ever, and
there was no cause for dissatisfaction
with the show.
The Utahna Stock company's pre-
sentation of Grip Van Wrinkle" at
the Lyric the fore part of the week,
proved to be one of the greatest sue
cesses of the stock company since
the beginning of its engagement a,

ed houses greeted each performance,
and everyone seemed pleased with
the performance. On Wednesday a
war drama, "a Daughter of Virginia"
was put on, and has been playing to
good business. In this clever dra-

mond have the leading parts, and are
given excellent support.
A. Baldwin Sloane, composer of
the Coming Thro' the Rye score
achieved his first success in Boston.
In 1906, the Cadet corps of that city
produced an extravaganza, called
Jack and the Beanstalk," of which
r. A. Barnet wrote the libretto and
Mr. Sloane the music. He was then
not over 22 years of age, but his
music caught the popular fancy,
strongly, and he was instantly sought
by the producers of musical comedy
and kindred works. Coming Thro'
the Rye" is now playing at the Salt
Lake theatre. There will be a matt
nee this afternoon and a performance
tonight
