LOCAL TALENT PLAY
Was A MONEY MAKER

The home talent play at the opera
house on Thursday evening was greeted
with an audience that filled the build
ing and for the most part the efforts of
those who took part in the performance
we're we'll appreciated. In forming
criticism of q home talent play, the
general public ought to remember that
those on the stage are not professionals
there and that much time and effort has
been expended in the hope of pleasing
the people. and increasing the church
funds in this case.
The play was an Irish one in keeping
with the day set aside for honorine the
famous St. Patrick. The scene was laid
in Ireland and the principal characters
were the members of an Irish family
living as tenents on the estate Of a
young lord. the rent agent, who was a
rogue and a scoundrel and Shaun Aroon.
a rowing. happy Irishman. Edward
Bartik as the scoundrel and Ed. Hughes
as Shaun Aroon, portrayed the charac-
teristics of the parts they were assum-
ing, exceptionally fine. and Mary Nolan.
as maid servant to the family and
sweetheart of Shaun Aroon caused many
a laugh with her irish talk and gestures.
Gertrude Haynes. as Mollie. Dr.. Hauser,
as Lord Fermoy. ". D. Kirkman as Dan
O'Grady, the head of the family, and
Annie Cuskelly. his wife. gave their
parts well, as did also. H. A. Bur9eson
as the money lender. Ray Cuskelly. as
Tom O'Grady and Tony Kostelecky as a
servant in the household. On the whole
everything went off splendidly. all knew
their lines we'll and no blunders were
made. and each one taking part deserves
credit.
No part of the entertainment was
enjoyed better than the songs between
the acts. Between the first and second
act Robert Lyons. the Irish tenor. train
ed under vocal masters in England and
singing for years on all parts of the
British Isles, captivated the hearts of
every one in the audience SO much that
he was called back with deafening ap-
plauses for the sixth time, and even
then they were not satisfied.
Between the second and third acts,
Miss Gertrude Haynes rendered q solo
that was no less appreciated by the
audience. She has a rich, sweet voice
and a good stage presence.
The net proceeds to St. Patr ick's
church will probably total nearly $400.

Dear SIR
Replying to your communication of

as the desirability and p~racticability
of them is concerned, I have no hest
fancy in saying that l believe any man
who is milking eight COWS or more
cannot afford to be without them.
put up about 500 tons of ensilage
each year, and am seriously contem-
plating silos for the feeding Of all my
stock. When the corn is once in the
silo there is no more trouble with it,
and I think it makes excellent green
feed for all kinds of stock in winter.
The farmers of North Dakota must sooner
or later come to realization of the fact
that the salvation Of the state is corn
and clover. the good cultivation of
which, with proper rotation will meas
increased production to such an extent
as to raise the value Of North Dakota

Newell Banks OF Detroit, one OF the best
checker players OF the country. is matched
to play against Hugh Henderson. of PITTS.

Banks Is young man. who has not quite
attained his majority. but, nevertheless has
won for himself place in the front ranks
of American checker players. His match
with Henderson Will begin in about a fort
night at the rooms of tho Toledo Chess and
Checker Club.
Henderson. his opponent. came here from
Scotland not long ago. Over there he was
rated among the best dozen players In tho
land OF the Thistle; and had been seriously
considered for place in the international
match, played with America in Boston. In
stead, his place. after much discussion. was
given to Seabrght. a player with longer
record. Henderson coached the late Charles
F. Barker for tho match which the latter
won from Drouillard. of Kansas City. The
match between Banks and Henderson Will
be one OF fifty games on the restricted basis.

At the end of the week Mrs. Rams
dills became a cherished asylum, into
which towards every evening Lucy
Carew crept to dream. to relive the
strange enchantment that was filling
her days. Her room, ander the caves
of a cottage whose date was older
than the history of her own country,
charmed her with its latticed windows
and straight curtains of red-checked
print; the homely pieces of furniture;
the square rag of carpet in the exact
center of the bare floor; the mirror
in its old, quaint frame rejecting q
patch of sky. bit of meadow, and
rejecting as we'll the vase of hot
house flowers that invariably stood
on the low bureau. Old-world and for

ton of those things which are near
enough to fall under the shadow of a
