A Big Success.

A big success for a quarter of CEN
tury and still one OF the most popular
plays eyer written is the 1.-TWO Or
phans," and IL bids fair TO live tri-
umphantly through the twentieth
century, while meretriciOuS melo-
dramas, vicious musical comedies and
Suggestive problem plays die like
weeds. The great old play is TO have
a fine presentation here at an early
date, Manager Loveday having been
fortunate enough TO secure the Fred

thorized Kate Claxton version, The
company has been receiving high
praise all along its route and evident

which they are now Il yiag in the
1.-TWO Orphans" having had long ex-
perience in other productions OF the
play, Kate Claxtion's celebrated part
Of the blind girl will be played with
all the telling detail which her dram
attic genius and years Of experience
have supplied. The terrible haggish
woman monster, La Frochard, will be
paWerfully played and the crippled
PIERRE will be brilliant emotional
achievement to compare with the
pathetic appealing blind girl. The
beautiful and well known stage pic
lures of the 1.-TWO Orphans" will be
supplied adequately out of the es-
pecisl equipment Of scenery which
the Conrad company carries. 1t is no
exaggeration To say that the 1.-Two
Orphans" presented by such an excel
lent company is an event of the seas
on ia any community. The play is
classic. and an example Of the dram
atist's aud che. actors art at its best.
Like all the greatest plays it appeals
to all kinds and all ages. 1t has
thrills of the right sort, more heart

Pontiac's Trail.
WARREN W. LAMPoRT.

WARREN W. LAMPoRr
Through the forests dark and deep
Where the gloomy shadows creep
And the night winds wall.
Deep in dust aud leafy mold,
Worn by countless feet Of old,
Stretches Pontiac's Trail.
O'er 1t onetime wolf and bear,
Skulking from the forest lair,
Wandered to aud fro;
And from out the stormy cloud
Screamed the eagle, shrill and loud,
To his mate below.
Here the wounded, frightened prey
In the thicket hid away
From the hunter bold;
Here, beneath the pine trees shade,
OFT the lover to his maid
Loves sweet story told.
And tall, painted forms swept by,
With the dreadful battle cry
Sounding through the gloom,
Painted forms that came again
Proudly bearing captive men
To captive's doom.
Comes no more the captive train;
Swells no more the warlike strain
Through the solitude;
Vanished every living trace
OF the oldcn, primal race,
Children Of the wood.
Yet, methinks, when pale moonbean
Fall upon world at dreams
And the night winds wall,
Dusky forms in single file
Still sweep through the forest aisle,
Over Pontiac's trail.

A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged i'm his work. So
In treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
great mistake TO lash It with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication Of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by its wonderful control OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity Of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, clcanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon 1t by
the detection OF other organs.
