Choosing a Christmas Present.

When you make a present of periodical
to friend or family you are really selecting
a companion to influence them for good or
ill during a whole year. If the acquaintauces
of your sons and daughters were to talk to
them aloud as some periodicals talk to them
silently, how quickly you would forbid the
companionship! III the one case as i'll the
other, the best course is to supplant the in
iurions with something equally attractive
and at the same time worth WHILE A food
can be wholesome and utterly distasteful.
Reading can be made so, too. But The
Youths Companion not only nourishes the
mind, but delights it, just like that ideal hu-
man associate whom you would choose. The
Youths Companion fills that place now in
more than half million homes. Can you
not think OF another family in which it is not
now known where it would be Joy fully wei.

THE FLOWER OF THE RANCH

A Performance Somewhat Out Of the
Ordlnary-One OF the Best Attrsc-
tlons We Have ttad-Not SsrosS on
Individual Voices bat Good Chorus
S,0ginK-Jess Harris s'Delivered the
Coods"-Audieuce Well Pleased.
In the stirring Western musical
comedy, 1.-The Flower OF the Ranch"
az presented by LeComte, Fiesher 4
Wade thoee present at the Grand
Treatre last Friday night, were al
forded an entertainment of merit
Astounding in mirth and amusement.
Somewhat out OF the usual order Il
spectacular musical comedies there is
a we'll defined plot in ''The Flower OF
the Ranch" with a pretty love story
running through it-a happy comb
nation OF scenic effects, romance,
comedy, love and treachery. The cos
tunes were pretty and appropriate
and the numbers were strong and
acted with energy and vivacity. In
dividually the voices with few excep-
tions were not up to the mark OF
light opera singers but the choruses
were well done. just say You Care,
The Same Old Story, Dreaming, and
In the Days OF 40 we're the favorite
musical numbers. Miss Nellie Waters
as Little Flower, Miss Ellen James as
Margaret Merron, the school marin,
John E. Frank as Jack Farnum,
owner of the ranch, ]. II. Clayton as
Bob Brandon, the sheriff, Harry Mel
son as Judge Hooper, foster father of
Little Flower. and Al Simms as Dick
Spaulding, a friend OF Farnum's, were
deserving OF special mention, while
the others were very good in their
parts. Jess Harris as
6kivers, ~ tenderfoot, was one of the
best comedians seen on this stage.
He made good at every point-as
singer, dancer and laugh-provoker-
and established himself as a favorite
with the audience.
Judged by the vigorous applause,
amounting almost to uproarousness
at times, and the constant laughter
with which the audience was con-
vulsed from beginning to end it was
a we'll pleased crowd. Although small
in numbers-not what the company
was deserving Oft was q thorough
~ appreciative audience and the per-
Torrance accomplished what it was
desi 9ned to do, entertain and amuse,
please and make one forget dull care.

who never To himself hath said,
my trade of late is getting bad.
I'll try another ten-inch add"
If such there be go mark him WELL
For him no bank account shall swell;
No angel watch the golden stair,
To welcome home millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
by local line or ad displayed.
Cares more for rest than worldly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends. let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies 20 plant him deep
That nought may break his dreamless
sleep;
no clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so we'll;
And that the world may know its
loss,
Place on his grave wreath of moss;
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"
