the menu, toy with it for minute or
two, and then lay it down in front of
her without so much as a pretense of
having read it, leaving the actual or

like Charles B. Hanford would do much
to elevate the American stage and make
the American people feel better and
consequently better Americans.
Mr.. Hanford is supported this year,
as in the past, by Miss Maria Drofnah
as leading woman, and a company of
capable performers. Miss Drofnah has
a light coedy role that she handles most
cleverly- After seeing her in such
heavy roles as she has taken in the past
when she divided hOnors with Mr.. Han
ford in Shaksperean productions, it Is
as much of a pleasant surprise TO see
her in her delightful new creation as it
is to see Mr.. Hanford in his new role
Her delicious brogue as the Irish widow
is most exhilirating and her work
throughout the play is splendid.
Of the supporting cast it is unneces-
sary TO dwell on details, as all are fully
competent. but two of the characters de-
serve special mention Harrison Croft

hear him say it.
It may be regretable and all that
about losing such an actor as Mr.. Han
ford from the Shak sperean school-but
1t Is a subject of as much congratula-
ton that the American stage has won
Mr. Hanford into comedy role He
is making people laugh, and in these
, busy times Of busy America with the
rush for the dollar and the close listed
business dealings, the man who makes
his audience laugh the real, true mirth-
ful laugh with wholesome comedy and
sends the people home feeling like they
have an appetite worth calling an appe-
tite, Is a man who deserves a lot of
praise And not only that, but when he
makes the blood Jingle with patriotism
at the same time, he is deserving of dou-
BILE congrafulation.
1t may sound like sacrilege in some
quarters to offer congratulations to Mr..
HanfOrd in his new role-on his tenn
porary abandonment of Shakspere-but
his field Is SO great in the pure whole
some American play that he is trying
out this year, that he will be able TO
make up any regret that may be felt
over Shakspere, in the laughter he
throws into the souls of Americans 4
laugh is worth more to the soul-phys-
isally spiritually and mentally-than
half q dozen quotations about a dead
Caesar or the ghost of a king-and
Hanford is making the laughs this year;
there is no room for debate on this
scope.
In his role of the red blooded Amer
lean who emigrated from Virginia after
his father had lost his fortune in the
civil war and has made his own fortune
as a ranchman in North Dakota, Charles
HaRford fills the bill as perfectly as a
glove models dainty hand fills a pair
of French kids. He is the true blooded
western American citizen from the tip
of his American toes TO the very top Of
his equally American though partially
bald head; every word he breathes is
natural; every gesture is full of mean-/
ing and perfect His dress is the right
sort, typical, and-well, if anybody can
find fault with Hanford in his new
role, the discoverer deserves a medal.
Even after he is informed that he is the
direct descendant of an English lord he
is the same American, so much so that
he takes possession Of the estate just TO
show the English how an American
would run things. He broadens and be-
comes a greater man and q greater
American, SO broad and so great that he
can even see his own faults and the
good points of a Britisher. broadens so
much that he actually helps his own

DISCOVER GEMS
ON MAINE FARM
TOuTmaIine Crystals Worth
100000 Found.

A notable discovery OF gems was
made at the old Brown farm on the
road from MarstOn's Corner to Minoi
about six miles out of Auburn, Ne.
In one pocket in a tOurmaline mine
on that farm. uncovered by a single
blast. were found 5000 carats of the
finest tourmaline. As they are worth
SIS a carat cut, this means that the
pocket contained from $4,000 to s75.-
900 worth of the gems.
Two weeks ago two other pockets
were struck in the same mine which
yielded not less than 1000 carats of
rough crystals. so that in the last two
weeks gems which will run up over
the 100000 mark have been taken out
OF this mine.
The owner of the mine is Forest L.
Havey. of Ash street. Lewiston BY
curious coincidence Mr. Harrington,
collector for the Field museum in Chi.
cago. was present when the pocket
was opened. and the figures given are
made up on his estimates.
