The Story when the Harvest
Days are OV r

Days are OV +
At the Washburn Opera house
July 26th.,
us one of the strongest
and most interesting rural
comedy dramas ever written"
is the verdict Of press and
public alike regarding "When
the Harvest days are Over, =
which G. Herbert Perry and
his company of talented play
ers are presenting this season.
Rural dramas as a rule de-
pend upon widely Over-drawn
''rube' characters for their
comedy element, and utterly
impossible sensational situa-
tions for their thrills. When
the Harvest Days are Over IS
IN exception to the Eule, for
in the writing Of this novel
and up-to- date comedy drama
natural tl pes we're studied,
and the mirror held up to ma
ture. 1t is a sweet and whole
some play, with pathos and
comedy so cleycrly blended,
that interest never wanes, and
you follow the action of the
the play with varied emotions.
The story in brief is as fol-
lows: Tom Johnson leaves
his estate and only daughter
in charge of Robert Travers,
a protege of his, and GEES
west to protect his mining in
terests, declaring that if alive
he will return within Eve
years. Ten years elapse and
he does not return, SO it is
supposed that he is dead.
Travers loves Jessie, but has
a rival in the person of Arthur
Johnson, a scheming nephew
of JohnsOn's who tried to
claim the estate and make
Jessie his wife by means Of a
forged will. He is about to
turn TraverS out when the
owner of the estate suddenly
returns. The rascally ne
phew, however, sticks TO his
purpose and insinuateS to
johnson that Travers has
been using money belonging
to the estate for his own ends.
johnson examines his books,
finds q deficiency of $1,000,
and demands an explanation.
Travers confesses to having
used the money, refuses to
explain, and is driven from
the house by Johnson. Ira
vers obtains a position as
clerk at the village hotel, bug
his rival follows him, and
by circulating the story of the
missing $4,000 causes him to
be discharged as a thief. In
the last act a letter arrives
from Paul Trdvers (Robert's
father, in which the missing
money is accounted for, the
deceitful nephew is exposed,
and the sun shines once again
for Robert and Jessie. The
play derives its name from the
two principal comedy char
acters Reuben the chOre boy,
and Sal, his little sweetheart,
who cling to Robert and Jes-
sic through all their trouble.
When Travers is turned out
Reuben goes with him and is
given a position as bell-boy at
the village hotel, and the
manner in which he fills that
position is original, though
excruciatingly funny. Sal is
a quaint and lovable little

Both France and England seem tc
have gone nearly into Mysteries over the
feat Of Louis Bleriot in flying across the
English Channel in monoplane, and the
performance is really epoehal in an
transportation. Although Bleriot an
nouncod that he should not make an
other trial, there will be plenty Of other
experimenters who will not only perform
the same feat but viii improve upon it.
Bleriot's performance is just the thing

Latham, another Frenchman, will be the

the various rewards that are being Of
fered in London for strictly English
performance win undoubtedly spur some

HEAIr,H n LIE oouNTRY.

Perhaps the cities wouldn't like to
move into the country during the ter.
ribly hot and oppressive months Of the
summer. Then again perhaps they
would. Whether they would or not, the
New York Globe IS endeavoring to make
the people Of New York satisfied with
their lot, for, says the contemporary.
ethe world may be searched in vain for
metropolis Of great size and density
which possesses as many advantages as
our own for the july and August resi-
dent" Furthermore, the globular con-
temporary tries to sop the Disconnected
ones with the fears that If they were
to 60 to the country they might have
bad water, poor food and generally I'M
satisfactory sanitary conditions All
this goes very well if temporarily trying
to stem the tide Of discontent which
makes city life almost unbearable in the
midst Of the summer months, but
brought down to close scrutiny All Of it
will not stand inspection.
Where in the world do you find so
plain, wholesome, and Therefore pure and
nutritious, food as on the farm or in
the rural districtsY with fresh milk,
fresh eggs, fresh produce direct from
the garden, fresh fruit, in fact, every
thing Of the best quality, how can you
beat it in the city where the food ma

Again would the people in tho country
swap the clear, pure water which wells
up from the bosom Of the earth or runs
in limpid streams down the mountain
side for all the Croton water which New
City boasts2 Country people are more
careful, too. than the city thinks about
keeping communicating influences from
their water supplies The country has
the advantage over the city IN natural
water-suppHes.
The only possible advantage in the
three things mentioned BY the contem-
porarv is to be found in the more i'm
proved sanitary arrangements which are
to be found IN the cities. Admittedly.
the country is behind the city in modern
appliances Of this sort, but the back
wardness il not due to lack Of inelna-
tion but rather to lack Of facilities for
the introduction Of modern appliances
And knowing their limitations in this
respect, the people Of the country are
more careful With such provisions az
they do have,
But The city people who may come
to the country need have no fear Of loss
Of life Or health through whatever erude /
sanitary arrangements there may be in
