LEON EVANS IS
GOING To SELL
HOUSE OUT SURE
Treasurer of Miners Empire
Theatre Will Raise $4,000
for Wilson Benefit.

Leon Evans, treasurer of Miners EN-
pire Theatre, has undertaken something
which to anyone else would keep him
going day and night for a long time
the selling of So 900 worth of tickets be-
tween now and March IA for the benefit
performance to be given that night for
Manager Fred Wilson.
But those who know the remarkable
popularity of Evans and have observed
the really wonderful skill he displays In
a theatre b~ox-office believe that he will
succeed. He has never yet failed in
anything he has undertaken.
Evans enjoys h reputation of being
able to sell the seats of an entire house
within forty minutes of the time the
curtain is scheduled to rise. OF course
many ~treasurers can sell out a complete
house in that time, but he is perhaps
the only n who can do it and satisfy
every purchaser, moving them along
quickly and having them well pleased
with their treatment.
Evans says he will not only sell the
$4,000 worth of tickets for the Wilson
benefit, but will sell out Miners twice
a day from now until then.

Something was wrong with Lily:
she was not happy, and it crept out In
the sorrowful tone of her letters. So
mother came on from Chicago to see
about it. When mother started out
to see" about anything, something
was bound to happen.
Mother was majestic lady, with q
high white pompadour and impressive
embonpoint. She had great executive
ability and prided herself upon her
win power. Lily was the apple of her
eye, and Lily was unhappy, she meant

Gus, to his own great disgust, always

but he met her at the station and
kissed her on the cheek that she Of
fered him with all the warmth that
he could muster.
Mother, after laying aside her wraps
and without stopping to unpack her
capacious trunk, made tour of the
house from garnet to cellar.
She was not long in arriving at q
conclusion. Whipple was growing
stingy-in fact. he was stingy. The
sheets were patched, the stockings
were darned oftener than should be,
Lily needed new clothes, and there
was nothing in her purse but small
change. For these and other reasons
she was convinced that her surmise
was correct.
She confronted Lily with the evil
dence she had secured, but Lily. like
q dutiful wife. insisted that poor,
dear Gaspard had a struggle to get
along.
"On 5000 a year." replied mother,
with naughty snif.
, Mother probed like congressional
investigating committee, and under
eross-examination Lily finally broke
down and confessed that Gaspard's
generosity had been chiefly confined to

are of French pottery.
The soup plate has medallioned
border and also bears the seal of the
United States. This seal not only
adds to the beauty and interest of the
plates. but adds infinitely to their
value historically, as the upper part
of the escutcheon bears % stars, and
therefore must have been made in

admitted to the union, and was the
only year that the flag, or the seal,
could have borne the 20 stars, as Wis

While Capt Butt was gasping for
breath and trying to understand the

trial the Waterman got a look at

stopped talking and began wondering
what to do next Then the president
told him they would quit their tres
