"The Thief" Thursday, Jan. q.

"The Thief" Thursday, Jan. 81.
Charles Frohman has produced a
play called 1.-THE Thief" translated
from the French Of Henri Bernstein.
"The Thief tells the story Of a
woman who steals in order to have
money for clothes to win her husbands
admiration. That, to begin with, is a
change from the average play in which
we find a husband or wife trying to
get as far away as possible from the
life partner. trying to drown a past,
polish up present or do something
along the lines of the divorce courts.
The Thief is a woman deeply in
love with her husband, and tortured by
his Indifference. She notices that he
has no eyes for her in the simple
clothes she can afford. She knows
that she would be as interesting as
others if she possessed their various
fancy trimmings, and she is deter
mined that she will be trimmed and
decorated as they are, to win her hus-
bands attention. Prices soc. Use. $1O0
and $3.50.

Two large audiences greeted

sketch which they formerly presented
on the vaudeville stage has been
elaborated into the play which was
presented Saturday at the jefferson.

constantly on the stage, for the role Of

IF YOU WISH FLOWERS.

Work every day to keep the plants
comfortable. They are like children
don't let them get lousy if you love
them.
All non-bloomers should be stored
in the cellar or other suitable place
in order to give room to the Towering
and foliage plants.
Evaporation takes place slowly from
tin cans and glazed pots, and these
may be used with advantage in the
hot, dry air of the living room.
Azaleas object to lime water in any
form or quantity. Try some other in
secticide for Kidding the soil of worms
for this plant.
Look at the stored roots and bulbs
If there is any sign of decay remove
the rotten spot and cover thickly with
powered charcoal.
Give plenty of sunshine these days.
Curtains do not belong to windows
where plants are kept. Roll up the
shades; wash the glass.
At night draw the shades down be-
tween the plants and the window
glass. On very cold nights wrap a
blanket of papers around the plants.
Shower, spray, dip, wash, scrub. Do
any and all these things to keep down
the insect enemies. Don't let bugs
pasture on your plants.

BIG LAMBERT SWEET CHERRY
Large Size and Fine Color of This
Fruit Grown in Oregon Attracts
Attention of Growers.

The large size and fine color of the
sweet cherries grown in the William
cite and Columbia river valleys in
Oregon have for many years attracted
the attention of cherry growers and
users to those sections, which seem
peculiarly adapted to the production
of this fruit. Fortunately for the reputa-
ton of the Willamette valley, the earli-
est introduction of cherries there
Tin 1848 by Henderson Lewelling, at
Milwaukee, Ore.) appears to have in
cluded some of the choicest varieties,
so that the planters of that district
were not compelled to go through the
long and trying experience with seed
lings of Indifferent quality that is COM
mon in newly settled regions. At the
same time some very promising seed
lings from these older sorts have in
recent years come to light, some of
which, such as Republican, Bing, and
Hoskins, have attained considerable
commercial importance.
One of the most promising of these
new sorts is the Lambert. This va
riety appears to have originated as a

owned by Mr.. J. H. Lambert, at Mil
waukee, Greg, which was planted by
the late Henderson Lewelling during
and shortly after 1S4S. This Seeding
tree, which is supposed to have been
a cross of Black Heart on Napoleon,
was grated to May Duke before it
reached bearing age and transplanted
to location at one end of the old or
chard. About 1880 the May Duke top
was broken off or died, and sprout
from the Seeding stock was permitted
to form a new top to the tree. When
it came into bearing its fruit attracted
Mr.. Lambert's attention, and shortly
after 1890 small shipments of it sent
to Boston and other eastern markets

varieties shipped at the same time.
