henrietta-A Good show.

On last Tuesday night are OF the best
shows tie visit the south in years was play
ed.
It was a clear, entertaining, well played,
high caste performance. Every actor IN
the play knew his part and played 1t we'll.
The two sons of the great Joseph Jefferson
are chips from the old block.
"Old nick" in the person OF Mr.. Joseph
Jefferson was cit" when it comes to a wall
street broker. He plays the part to per-
lection.
BERTHE 1.-THE Lamb, in the person OF
Mr.. William Jefferson played his part OF
the fop and fool to such a degree that it
seemed real and made n feel like going
upon the stage and taking a stick to it.
Miss Blanche Benton played the part OF
the widow with cunning grace.
A remarkable coincidence finds itself
illustrated in this show. Years ago at the
death of on actor, Mr. Holland by name,
Mr.. Joseph jefferson was consigned the
duty Of funeral arrangements. Mr. Jefferson
went to a minister On Fifth lave. New
York but was rebuffed with the answer
that actors could not be buried from that
church. Mr.. Jefferson then asked where
he could secure the services ola minister
who would help him. He was referred to
"The Little Church Around the Corner" by
the Fifth Ave, minister. To ''The Little
Church around the Corner" Mr.. Jefferson
went and found there a minister with a
heart.
Thus the actors of entire country were
drawn to thelittle church around the
corner and to-day it enjoys the most
enviable place in the galaxy af churches.
A man cannot do anything great unless
he has a great soul in him. The players
who attend the Henrietta must be pretty
good people, for they make q most splen-

We do not care what the world may
say
If those whom we love are true;
We do not mind the toll of the day
If we know in the dusk and the dew
There waits someone who Will wei
: come US
As we come home to rest
Some friend who will say, "Deal
heart, 1 know -,
That today you ha" done your best"
We do not mind if the thorns are
sharp,
Or the pathway is rough and steep;
We do not mind if we plough and
SOW
For others to come and reap,
If we can but hear, when the twilight
comes
And the red in the west grows gray,
Some dear voice whisper the words OF
cheer:
"You have fought a good fight to-
day."
For the heart doesn't care what the
world may say
If those whom it loves are true.
For twas always and ever the hearts
own way
To long for the love and true.
You forget the gain, the loss, and the
pain
That,torture your pulsing breast, :,
If there's u who in sweet, blind
faith,
Can say: "You have done your
best"

P. H. 5. AND NORMAL
 IN MIGHTY STRUGGLE
Jackrabbits and Coyotes Will WaIIop the Ball Over the Diamond in Tempe Today.

The Co-otes and Jackrabbits will come together today for the second time in the series of ball games for the championship of the valley league and The Republican cup. The game will be played in Tempe, and a large con- tingent will % over and see what should be one of the greatest games of the series.
 The game to be played today Is piv- otal. and with only three games re- maining for each nine to play, will have an important bearing on the final possession of the cup. The game to- day will not decide the championship. for the losing team will have an op- portunity to reverse the result in the next and last game between the Nor mals and High Schools Then each team has a game coming with the In- dians with which to bolster up their percentage colupn-if the Redskins let them
 Several have been heard to remark that it is too bad the Indians are out of the contest for the cup. This is misapprehension on the part of many. The Indians are not out of the race for a moment, and still have chance for the cup. If they win the two games remaining for them to play they will come out with an even 300 per cent. It is quite conceivable that the r. H. s. will beat the Normal school once and that the compliment will be returned by that school. In this case every team will be tied with 800 per cent, and additional games will have to be played to determine the victors. From the way the Indians played week ago, when they picked a few laurels from the high school boys, it would be a good one-to-two bet-were betting permissible Tn the territory that the Indians win both Of their scheduled games. In short, there is no "one best bet' in the Valley league series.
 The double umpire system will be put in practice in the game today. They will be Tebben of Phoenix and Todd of Tempe. This little precaution is ob- served so that unseemiy arguments on the part of the players may be dis pensed with.
 If the High school boys win today their percentage will be 750 to the Nor mals' 800 and the Indians 250. The game will be called at ?. m.
