Was Fine Show.

The next time The Sunny -ide Of
Broadway comes to Keokuk, and ev-
eryone who saw it Friday night will
hope that the time will be soon, it
will attract a packed house at the
Grand, for it is the most lively thing
which has been in Keokuk this sea
son. For some reason or other, the
public had wrong impression of the
coming attraction and many people
missed what was one of the most en-
joyable evenings ever spent at the
opera house.
There was nothing deep in the en-
tertainment and no attempt to teach
great moral lesson or to regenerate
the theatre going public. The show
was merely for the purpose of anus
ling the people and it certainly did it.
! It is not stretching matters to say
| that it was the real thing in musical
i comedy.
! The secret of the success of The
! Sunny Side of Broadway, lies possibly,
| in the fact that all members of the
company are young people. The male
chorus Was especially attractive, be-
| ing composed of a splendid LOOKING
lot of young fellows who took the
part of college boys. The girls were
/ youthful and lively and there was not
a fright In the company. The com
edians were the equal to some of the
old comic opera stars who have made
such hits with Keokuk people and
/ they knew how TO make the audience
laugh. The theatre was in a roar
most of the evening over the comical
actions OF the play.
i There were several novelties which
were good. The motor boat song. the
/ garden OF love song and the college
song we're extra special numbers. The
nurserF rhyme song was another
catchy and attractive number and
the comic song Under the Pazaza

The Secret Of Happlne IS.

The secret of happiness in every
life is to be doing what you feel you
can do best, and to have your own

best includes the entire gamut, from
housekeeper to social queen, though I
should like to turn the gamut upside
down by putting the homemaker at
the top instead Of the bottom of the
scale. Your own inglenook you must

Cued by Life Savers.
ONE SWEPT FROM RAFT TO DIE
Thrilling Scenes Witnessed by
Cheering Hotel Guests at Long
Beach While Wind and
Waves Are High.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Long Island
life savers after a six hours battle
added another victory against the sea-
to their longAist of remarkable rescues
when they brought safely to land the
captain and crew of the three masted
schooner Arlington of Boston, which
went ashore in the driving rain and
fog off Long Beach, on the south
shore Of Long Island.
One member Of the crew, Madden
Pierson, Swede, put off from the
schooner on raft, with the hope of
reaching shore with line, was swept
out to sea by the tide and perished.
1t was at first reported that Pierson
had been picked up five miles to the
south of Rockaway Beach, but this
was not borne out.
The rescue from the schooner was
witnessed by cheering guests Of the
Nassau hotel at Long Beach and by
hundreds of cottagers. And, strangely.
the hotel was indirectly responsible for
the vessels plight, for Captain Irn
Small after having lost his bearings
mistook the glimmering lights in the
structure for those Of liner in mid
ocean and thus misled ran aground.
The schooner, heavily laden with an
thracite, bound from this port for
Mayport, Fla, struck sand bar 800

climbed out on the slender bowsprit,
where they were discovered an hour
later by the beach patrol.
The life savers of the Long Beach
and Point Lookout stations worked
frantically, but in vain, trying to shoot

clinging desperately to the rocking

made this impossible, but persever-
ance won the day.
After six futile attempts they sue

the breakers to the lee of the wreck
Then, while four of the life savers tug

in position, Il line was thrown to the
men on the bowsprit and all seven

Five minutes after the rescue had

The Arlington, according to Captain
Small, will be at total loss.

Answers to Correspondents.

There are many people who seem
to think that a newspaper editor is
a foolish institution. There are
others who, evidently, are of the
opinion that he is a lineal descend
ant of the wise Solomon. The latter
class plies us with queries, some of
which we can answer, and most of
which we can't. However, just
now, we have few in stock which
these consultations.
Laura asks: us it against the
law to spit on Honesdale's side
walks? If so, what is the penalty?"
We haven't copy of the borough
laws at hand, but we think it is.
In most places the penalty is death
Or, if it isn't, it should be.
Ezekiel-"Is there any penalty
prescribed by the stattoos, if you
swa'ar at yer mother-in-law?"
None that we are aware of, yet
we would advise you to think the
matter carefully over beforehand,
then perhaps you won't do it.
What is your weight and general
health?
Mabel-Is it true that Madame
Besant is going to kill trusts by
means of spirits?'
She says so but we think, upon
reflection, she will use other means.
Many of the spirits" are already
controlled by the trusts.

Now, really, that's sad. We
should advise you, however, to for
get, as soon as possible, that you
were ever such blamed old fool
if you can.

Herbert-Yes, the planet Mars

it's name if they hadn't told us.
Julia-"Our dog Hero, was killed
by stones thrown by five people.
He bit one of the folks who SHE'D

We have no means of knowing

the most entrancing and impressive
of any view we saw in Southern

Friends Persuade Aviator
Not to Fly Until Sunday.
DAMAGED AEROPLANE REPAIRED
Three French Experts In Wright
and Bleriot Machines Make
Successful Tours of the
Field at Rheims.

Rheims, Aug. 1S.-Leaning heavily
on a cane and suffering from bruise
on his right leg sustained when his
aeroplane fell during practice spin,
Glenn II. Curtiss, the American avia-
tor, superintended the repairs to his
damaged machine and had the salts
faction of seeing it entirely restored
and ready for fight.
Mr.. Curtiss is eager to start imme-
diately with the trials but his friends
are endcavoring to dissuade him from
taking any chances, declaring that he
is likely to augment his injury, which
would entirely disable him and pre-
vent his participation in the races,
which begin next Sunday.
Mr.. Curtiss reluctantly acQuiesced to
the entreaties Of his physicians and
friends and made no attempt to fly.
Mr.. Curtiss describes the accident as
being primarily due to a leak in the
gasoline tank which caused the motor
to stop. After this cross currents of
air forced him heavily to the ground.
The eagerness of Mr.. Curtiss to re-
sumo his tuning up trips was all the
greater when he saw number of the
French entrants for the aviation week
races perfecting themselves in practice
flights. Three thousand spectators
were at the aerodrome to witness the
flights.
NJ. Tissandier in a Wright machine
flew for three minutes and was fol-
| lowed Immediately by NJ. Lefevre, also
in Il Wright biplane, who rose in the
air without the use Of derrick and
spun around the field for twelve min
utes. This performance was greeted
with rounds Of cheers from the specta-
tors. NJ. Dclagrange with Il Bleriot
monoplane also succeeded in making a
brief flight after having made false
start. The average altitude reached by
the aeroplanists in their. tests here was
between ten and twenty meters.
Mr.. CurtiSs in an interview said that
the contest for the international cup
will be most keen, but that he has
every confidence of his ability to win
it. He has decided TO participate in
all the events on the program.
The American aviator has abandon
ed the house he rented in the village
of Betheny in favor Of sleeping quar-
ters back Of the shed in which his
aeroplane is kept. He is loud in his
praise Of the arrangements for avatic
week.
"Everythng here appears to have
/
Gus scale" said Mr. CurtisS. 1T is diff
ficult to believe that this huge wooden
city is only Il temporary affair"
