OTHER PEOPLES IDEAS
~~~o~~

On the morning after her nieces
wedding Miss Kitteredge put on her
rubbers and walked over to add few
finishing touches to the daintily fur
nished apartment in Indiana avenue,
which was awaiting the return of the
happy pair from their bridal trip.
She was surprised, on entering, to
find the groom's Uncle Horace survey
Ing the place with evident satisfaction
There was. however. nothing strange
about this, for 1t was well understood,
in both families. that 1t was due to
Uncle Horace's liberality that Robert
and Dorothy were beginning life with
two sets Of draperies at every window
and real Circassian walnut furniture
in the reception room.
Pretty complete outfit. chr" he
observed.
ooh, It's perfectly beautiful" re-
piled Miss Kitteredge. None of the
others have had anything so fine. You
see," she explained Dorothy is the
fourth one of my nieces to be married
and I've helped each one of EN- to fix
up her home"
1--WE noticed that you were doing
your full share toward fixing up this
one," said Roberts Uncle Horace. "Did
they turn all the hard jobs over to
you?"
"Old-maid aunts come In handy at
weddings" said Miss Kitteredge. But
I've injoyed it, even though | did get
tired"
Better sit down and rest while"
suggested Roberts Uncle Horace.
These things" indicating by ges-
ture the furniture of the reception
room. don't look as though they were
made to sit on. suppose. though, that
they're the proper caper."
Yes" she replied. Dorothy says
they're excellent examples of the style
of Louis-something- can't pro-
nounce it-and that the lines are ex-
tremely good. If you know what that
means!"
II don't" he said. But I think I'd
prefer the lines of these big leather
chairs in the den."
He settled his portly frame in one
of them and Miss kitteredge perched
herself flutteringly on the edge of the
couch
Il mustn't sit but a minute" she
said. II promised Dorothy that I'd
arrange the things in her kitchen cup
boards. It's funny" she continued,
reminiscently. what different ideas
people have about fixing up houses.
Now. when Emma, my Oldest niece,
was married. she was crazy to have
everything oriental. There was big
Japanese umbrella hung from the cell
ing and things embroidered with
scratchy gold thread and big vases
with dragons on 'em and little bamboo
tables scattered around TIL you
couldn't walk through the rooms.

NJ Is not stationary but continually changes,
~ moves on and perfects itself. the life of
all mankind Is increasingly changing,
/ II Ing on and perfectng itself. AS each indi-
IN vidual once played with toys, learned the

children, gained wisdom with age, the life of
lions also changes and perfecs ITSELF only not like
individual in few years, but in the Of
turtles and ages. And for the chief changes
in the invisible spiritual sphere of his religious
consciousness.
People who. owing to the existence of government
organizations. have advantageous positions, picture to
themselves the life Of people deprived Of
authority wild disorder struggle Of all against
all, just as II we were speaking, not of the life of ami
mals for animals live peacefully without governmental
violence, but of terrible creatures prompted in
their activity solely by hatred and madness But they
imagine to be such merely because they attribute
to them qualities contrary to human nature but which
have been perverted by that organza-

which in spite Of the fact that it evidently
sary and merely harmful they continue to uphold.
And therefore, to the question What would life be
without government? there would be but answer
namely: that there would certainly all the evil

THE Cow Puncher at the Avenue.

Despite the fact that Lent has inaug-
urated self-denial, there was a crowd
at both performances of The Cow
Puncher" at the Avenue Theatre yester-
day to make the enjoyment of melo-
drama their particular method of pen
ance. And those that still reveled in
this pleasure enjoyed the picturesque
Cow Puncher" to the fullest degree.
Tom Lawton, the diamond in-the-rough
hero who manages the ranch of the
young Eastern iheiress, who comes to
Arizona to see her own property, is
played by Louie Ramsdell in manner
that makes anyone wonder why Gerald
inc Graham hesitates for even one act
in acknowledging her love for him.
Ramsdell has an ideal personality and a
voice of magnetic resonance. Although
leader of the outlaws, Black Hawk is a
bandit" of such squareness and high
principles that he shares honors with
the hero in the admiration of the gal
lery." All the opprobium that could
possibly be expressed in Kisses, ieers and
cat-calls, however, is deservedly heaped
upon Carlos Mendoza, the mahogany
colored embodiment of evil who hounds
the heroine through three and half
acts. The fact that William F. Pfar is
so bad" argues that he is good" as
an actor.
Frances Shafer as the Bowery girl
and Bonnie Gould as witty Irish boy
were characters that appealed strongly
to the admiration and risibilities of the
audience. Louisville Post.

and sickly. She had no appetite and
no ambition.
We tried various medicines, but
