A Letter from Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
DeCoW


panied by Miss Alice Allen,
daughter of Geo. B. Allen of
Meade, and are now the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Foster
our old Meade county neighbors.
With them and their friends we
are having a royal time, enjoying
the fine climate, eating tropical
fruit and enjoying free grazing
which we can appreciate having
been held up to the tune of from
$500 to 5000 per day while at
Seattle, where we spent the time
pleasantly in sight seeing. Here
where they have to depend on ir-
rigation entirely for crops the
fruit is fine, melons, canteloupes,
deciduous and tropical fruits
seem to flourish to perfection.
Lemons and oranges have ripe
fruit, green and bloom on the
same tree at once, but the next
years crop of oranges will be a
failure for there are few or no
green fruit on the trees.
We as all tourists do, made the
trip to Catalina Island and took
in the sights there, on the way,
the sea gardens, the seals, and
whale. The trip was delightful
and thoroughly appreciated by
each of our party. When we
have been here as long as our
itenery permits with our friends
we will go down to San Diego
then back to San Franciscowhere
we strike the home trail. We
will stop at Ogden, Salt Lake
City and Pueblo on the home
stretch. To their many friends
at home, say that our genial
hosts are enjoying life to the
full and are very strong and
hearty for people of their age.
With best wishes to all and
hoping to soon be back among
the friends in Meade we are
Truly Yours
Mr.. AND Mrs. GEO. DECow.

 This is the opinion of John Webb, business man of Spokane. until re- gently of Butte and before that a resi- dent of Los Angeles, who claims to be the pugilistic father of the ex-boiler- maker.
 Jeff demurred at first when we in- vited him to the boxing club for a try put with some of the boys" Webb con tinued. ''but he was finally prevailed upon for go and won easily. He put his opponent out in short order in the second fight, and 1t took more than ten minutes to revive the loser His work became the talk Of the town and soon got to the boys family, who, though poor, were proud and did no, relish the idea of developing a fighter
 "One pf his two sisters, now mar. ried to business men of Los Angeles. came to my store short time after the second fight and drove me out of the back door with broom, saying that her family resented our activi- ties in trying to make pugilist out of the boy. But when we became bet ter acquainted there was many a hearty laugh over our first meeting.
 When Corbet and Fitzsimmons were matched, Jeff was taken on as a sparring partner by the former on my recommendation. In the first round Jeff knocked Corbet down and then jumped through the ropes, saying he might kill the champion. However, he went back when it was explained that he was to let Corbet do the punching, saying: I can whip Corbet now and I'll be able to lick Fitz in two years The rest is history"

The wolf.

One of the most striking features Of .The Wolf" Eugene Walters great play. which will he presented at the Auditorium Sunday and Monday, is said to be the finale of the third act. which is played on dark stage with the moon hiding behind dense clouds. The fight between the two principal characters Is not clearly seen Dy the audience. but the exchange of den- ance. the scuffle with the sound of a falling body al last, are heard, and until the winner in the fight reveals his face by the glare of match with which he is calmly lighting cigar cite. the audience is in doubt as to the outcome *The Wolf is a drama of the Canadian backwoods and when presented here, will have an excep- tionallv strong cast headed by And rev Robson. the actor who succeeded Charles Coghlan as the star in The Royal Box and later took James K.

 MT Grapewin's new play, Above the Limit" is the funniest he has ever had. The principal character is Jim my Hick, poor boy of the slums, with an incessant flow of slang. He meets wealthy girl and falls in love with her, but realising the difference between them, makes up his mind to gain an education. He goes abroad in the capacity of manager for his brother, who Is jockey, for mil licnaire turfman and devotes his time and efforts to uplifting himself. Five years elapse and during that time Jimmy succeeds in accomplishing his object, He returns to America, a pol ished gentleman, meets the woman who has been the inspiration of all his labor and ambition and presses his suit for her hand She, realizing the innate strength and manhood of the man, falls in love with hlm and all ends happily There is a strong plot and Jimmy proves himself hero and diplomat on several occasions.
