of Christmas trees and bob slelghs is
existing here. 4 Farmers daily report

Theatrical
SHEPHERD KING"
IS VERY GOOD

"The Shepherd King" played
last night at the Auditorium, was a
big success, although the audience
was a very small one. The story
is founded upon the biblical one of
David and his annointment as king
of Israel. 1t is full of dramatic
climaxs and is teeming with human
interest and excitement. The
scenic effects are magnificent. The
third act is laid in the palace Of
Saul and the scenery here is SUI
perb. All throuh the production
there is the feeling of the master
hand, even to the smallest detail.
The parts are all we'll chosen.
Wright Lorimer as David was ex-
cellent. His climax, in the third
act, showed his fine histrionic abil-
ity. His costumes we're rich. King
Saul, as portrayed by Brigham
Royce, was as heartily received as
David. The role, though a hard one,
was masterfully handled. The
kings daughters, Princess Michael
by Frederick Young, and Princess
Merab by Helen Dinger, were fine.
Differing widely in character and
disposition, these parts were well
played. It will play again and for
the last time here tonight.

CHICAGO, Oct. with a de-

says she is living, Miss Elizabeth
Magic, 1.-The girl with gray-green
eyes," who three years ag oattract
ed nationwide attention by offering
herself for sale to the highest
bidder as young American slave,
issued new declaration today in
which she pictures the servitude in
which she says the masses of the
American people are living.
In a sociological dissertation en-
titled "A graphic description of he'll

Magic tells of the suffering, hard
ships, embarrassments and unpleas-
antnesses she has endured because
she is self-sustaining.
Here are ONE of the epigrams
from the young woman's state
ment:
ut is hell to have superior edu
cation and to have to work for and
obey the commands of ignorance.
ITO have a sensitive and refined
nature and have to be forever
brushing up against pigs.
ITO have an ear for fine music
and have to be tortured by street
organs.
ITO know that you can do some
things better than other people
and never have an opportunity to
prove 1t.
ITO hitch your wagon to star
and then have the darned star
start off before you can get into
the wagon.
ITO long for little home where
you can plant and tend a few
flowers and have to live in a little
8x10 hall bedroom.
ITO hang on to street car strap,
with IL bundles under your other
arm, and see silver-harnessed bull
dogs riding by In automobiles.

WOMEN KNIGHTS
 OF THE GARTER

There were once women members or the English Order of the Garter. Eacn lady of the order wore garter on her left arm Among these members were Joan Plantagenet, the fair maid of Kent, widow Of the Black Prince, and many other royal ladies. besides num- erous ladies of noble and gentle birth. The last lady Knight of the Garter was Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Rich mond, mother of Henry VII, and after ward wife of the first Early of Derby but in the next reign a change came over the scene. With Henry VIII on the throne there was no longer de- votion> to women of king and knight. and woman's rights were forgotten Henry dlscountenanced female associa- tion with the chivalry of St. George, and the orders brilliancy was dimmed. Attempts have been made to repair Henrys deed. but nothing came of them Effigies may be seen of two of these members. One is at Ewelme Church, in Oxfordshtre. where is the tomb of the Countess of Suffolk. daughter of Sir Thomas Chaucer and granddaughter of the poet, with her left arm encirc1ed with the garter. In the same country, at Stanton Harcourt, the ancient seat of the Harcourt family. six miles west of Oxford, the effigy of Lady Harcourt, daughter of Sir John Byron, of Clayton. and wife of Sir Robert Harcourt. who was elected a knight of the garter in 1461. is also represented with the garter on her left arm.
