1.-THE Third Degree"

Undoubtedly the play Of the year Is
Charles Kleins sensational success,
1.-THE Third Degree" which Henry B.
Harris has scheduled for presentation
here at the Auditorium on Tuesday,
September IA.
1t is strikingly illuminative Of the
vicissitudes of life in the crowded and
crime-sodden city of New York. 1t
challenges the vicious police methods
Of extorting derogatory confessions
from poor and unprotected victims Of
their relentless Observation-Disclosures they
be guilty or not. A confession once
made, regardless OF the suspects inno-
cense, often leads to a gross miscar-
riage Of justice. Herein lies the au-
thor's claim to recognition. His story
has real basis. While he was on the
quay at Marseilles, France, waiting
for the steamer to carry him to Egypt
he read an account of case in New
York paper that furnished him his in
spiration for THE Third Degree" In
the original case the principal actor
suffered the extreme penalty in Joliet
prison De1Or9 lne real CTllllludl "ds
apprehended and voluntarily confessed
to the crime, which the innocent man
| had paid with his life. From social
and psychological point of view 1.-THE
Third Degree" commands close atten
ton. 1t unfolds a romance of poor
and yirtuous girl with the scion OF ar
old and well-to-do Knickerbocker fam
lily. The son of this family married
the girl while he was student al
Yale, and was consequently disinherit
ed by his proud and aristocratic ia
Their.

Looks Like Murder.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE tragedy
brought to light yesterday is still a
mystery.
The body was taken to an undertak-
er's establishment in the city of Wyan-
dotte. A preliminary examination dis
closed that the head and limbs had
been severed by sharp instrument.
The care with which the body was Sc.
creted apparently disposed of the pos
sibility that the torso might have been
discarded by some physician or stu
dent who had been using the body fol-
experimental purposes

Norfolk Juniors Take the Game, score
10 to 2.
About 200 fans witnessed the game
between the Norfolk juniors and the
Stanton juniors on the local diamond
yesterday afternoon in which the Nor
folk youngsters pulled out a victory
by the score of 10 to 2.
Keleher pitched good game and
held down the visitors for zero In
many tight places. The batting OF
PLANT and Lucas was good.
The features of the game were the
high jump and catch of fly by Dig
nan and the running catch of foul
by Wetzel.
Owing to the fact that many of the
baseball enthusiasts refused to pay
the admission fee of Is cents, the
young players only accounted for 81

Bcuesteel, S. D., Sept, 6.-This com

created by the service of a summons
and complaint in $4,000 damage suit
instituted by Councilman w. p. Steb'

The suit, 1t is said, is the culmina'

The Current of Life.
Don't look for flaws as you go through
And even when you find them q
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of
light
Somewhere in it's shadows hiding;
1t is better by far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current Of life runs ever away
To the bosom Of Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course
And think to alter it's motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe
Remember it lived before you.
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
But bend and let it go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your within to the letter.
Some things must so wrong your
whole life long.
And the sooner you know it the bet
ter.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite.
And go under at last in the wrestle,
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into a vessel.

Yet on tho Soggarth presses, and close

Still wrapped in dream and sumber

There in the solemn moonlight he

He's knelt a knave-he rises to do a

There's many heart that never again

But darkness VOC and sorrow for him,

Who on the Saxon scaffold that day

Well shrine his name and story-bright

Till hope has reached its haven-tll

Till Freedoms hands may fashion

OF all who trod that pathway and

Monkey ana ooat.

Monkeys are more renowned for
mischief than for kindness, but even
monkeys can be benevolent. NJ. Mou-
ton records the doings Of one in
Guadeloupe that surely seemed to
merit that reputation. The monkey
had a friend in a goat that went daily
to the pasture. Every night the mon
key would pick out the burrs and
thorns. sometimes to the number Of
1000 or 1900, from the goats fleece
In order that the animal might lie
down in peace. On coming In from
the pasture the goat regularly went in
search of his light-handed friend
and submitted himself to the opera
ton. Strange to say. the tricky in
stincts Of the monkey reasserted
themselves after the pricks we're re-
moved. He would tease the poor goat
numerically, plucking his beard. pok-
ing him in the eys and pulling out his
hairs. The goat bore It all with pa
tience. perhaps regarding It as only a
fair price to be paid for the removal
Of the thorns.-London Standard.
