sincerity in the serious moments de-
veloped through his love affair with
Cinderella is unquestioned But, on
the other hand, his comedy is equally
as earnest and equally capable. The
sentiment of clean manliness of the
impresnated instinct of the decency
and class which is imbued among ali
the young college boys and girls who
are the heroes and heroines of the
play is shown most attractively by this
instance. There are 30 song hits III
a Stubborn Cinderella and beauty

edy comes to the Illinois tomorrow ev.

personal direction of Mort II. Singer
of the Princess theater. Chicago.

The Supreme Gift.

Man has no wings, and yet he can
soar above the clouds. He is not
swift Of foot, and yet he can outspeed
the fleetest hound or horse. He has
but feeble weapons in his organization,
and yet he can STAY oF<smaster all the
great beasts. His eye is not so sharp
rs that of the eagle or the vulture
and yet he can see into the farthest
depths of sidereal space. He has only
very feeble occult powers of commune
cation with his fellows, and yet he
can talk around the world and send
his voice across mountains and deserts.
BIS hands are weak things beside a
lions paw or an elephants trunk, and
yet he can move mountains and stay
rivers and set bounds to the widest
'eas. His dog can outsmelI him and
rutrun him and outbite him, and vet
his dog looks up to him as to a god.
de has erring reasons in place Of I'M
erring instinct. and yet he has changed
the face of the planet.
Without the specialization of the
lower animals-their wonderful adap-
tation to particular ends. their tools.
their weapons. their strength. their
speed-man yet makes them all his
servants. His brain is more than
match for all the special advantages
nature has given them The one gift
of reason makes him supreme In the
world.-John Burroughs in Atlantic.

Five years ago a stonecutter wanted
to buy farm near enough to Barre so
he could drive in to the city and work
a part of the time. He had nothing with
which to make payment, consequently
could not get a start. His wife attended
an auction sale of lots, purchasing two
lots at $4,000 making a payment of
$1,000 and agreeing to pay the balance
monthly. They made only the drst pay
ment, however, when they traded the
two lots toward farm at S450.00, which
price gave them an equity in the lets
Of s330.00 and the farm owner considered
this amount satisfactory as d first pay
ment. IN this way they got their farm
and to-day are easily worth $4,000 to
81, 10000. They would have had nothing
except rent receipts if they had not made
start. There are hundreds who have
started in this way. You can. Attend
the auction sale at Goldsbury Park this
afternoon and tomorrow.
