AMUSEM ENTS.
DeadWood Dicks Last Shot"

The third of the series of thrillars
which Charles H. Wuerz is sending out
this season, ''Deadwood Dicks Last
Shot" was presented at the Augusta
Opera house Friday evening. Like its
two predecessors, which have already
visited this city, Billy the Kid" and
The Yankee Doodle Detective" the
plot is of the dime novel character ana
blood flows freely, with the women,
both good and bad, sheriff, judge and
clerk Of courts, all showing a propen-
sity to kill that almost puts the out
law hero in the shade. The galleries
applauded loudly in the last act when
Judge Martin of Larrabee court, after
becoming incensed at the persecution
of the outlaw hero by Buck F'arren,
sheriff of Montery, rushed across the
stage with a siX-shooter in either hand
exclaming: Then damn the law, I'll
kill the sheriff.
"DeadWOod Dicks Last Shot" has u
redeeming feature, however, which was
lacking in its predecessors and that is
the comedy. Nellie d. Moran as Molly
Mcneil, proprietor of the Palace hotel,
Max Fields as Loco Levy, the laundry
man and Lem WEIGH as Fritz Stahl,
the Dutch storekeeper, both in their
character parts and the specialties
which they introduce are a show in
themselves Independent of the main
plot, and they all do their work finely.
H. F. Mcdonald in the title role of
Deadwood Dick is the same type Of
pale and interesting young outlaw as
Billy the Kid" in the previous play.
Mayme Zorb takes the part of Madge
Fulton, the girl from the East very
effectively and Olga Graham as Black
Bess, the Faro Queen, takes proper de-
light in the carrying out of the crimes,
which she instigates

Bearing fire that would scare a poor

With your rows of great teeth grinning

And your loose-ginging gown, Tapping

In the orchard out thereof, know
how you're made,
And the youngsters who made you, so
I'm not afraid.
Ohio, Mr. Ghost, am waiting for you:
You're an old friend of mine, botn
trustworthy and true:
For, that big head of yours that near
gave NE fright,
Was in somebody's pumpkin patch
only last night.
And out of my window not two hours
ago,
I saw your head scooped out by Bill,
Jack and Joe;
And saw you stuck upon the end Of a

And the candle that burned in the
kitchen last night
Lights those cavernous eyes that near

Society, whate'er be said, is not a
thing apart,
And It's pleasing duty to defend it,
Since here and there a person touched

Will turn upon and do her (his) best
to rend it,
Even women of intellect today as
sumo a certain patronizing attitude
toward society, when they don't open
ly toss up their scornful heads in con-
tempt of it's quality. And yet, as a
fact. whatever its faults and frailities,
society is the most important factor
in modern civilization, and should so
continue, if our civilization is to stand
for morality, decency. refinement, ira.
ldition, good breeding and the ameni-
ties of life. Without society to set the
pace, the sources of commercial pros
perity must soon dry up. And even
though. this perhaps might not be an
unmitgated evil for humnity, from the
philosophers standpoint, it would put
too many persons out of a job to be
wholly desirable. Moreover, without
Society where would the arts be?
And then, does not Society, even at
its worst, uphold certain standards of
breeding, If not of morals. which COM
pei candidates for its honors and priv.
ilegs to control their varied and multi

admitted to its fold?
Indeed, Society, says an exchange IS
