Some Evening Reveries.

Why is it that we so easily for
get that the little things in life are
what make it easy or hard? A few
pleasant words, a warm hand clasp,
cordial letter, are simple things,
bnt they are mighty in their in
fuence on the lives of those about
US, adding a ray of hope to many
disconsolate hearts, giving bit of
courage to disappointed, weary
ones, and helping to make our own
lives sweeter at the same time.
Few people realize how much the
little attentions of everyday life
mean to their associates in the
home, the church, the business
place. It is generally lack of
consideration which makes one
forget the tiny pleasantries; but
lack of consideration is really one
form of selfshness. and selfshness
is not considered a desirable
quality. Remember that the little
things of life, either good or bad,
count for more with those we love
than we ever know, and we should
be watchful Of our actions and our
words,

The DeGraW

On Saturday, Oct. l. the De-
Graw theatre will open the theatric-
al season of 191O-1911 with The
Man on the Box" a dramatization
of Harold McGrath's book. The
production has been playing in the
large cities for several years and
has earned the reputation of being
one of the really great plays. Low
ers of the best in high-class drama
should not fail to see it. A not
able company of actors is in the
cast and a performance of much
merit is assured.

Lecture and Entertainment

A lecture and entertainment will
be given at the opera house in La
clede Friday evening, Sept. 30, to
raise the remainder OF the money
needed to pay for the instruments
for the Laclede Concert Band. The
lecture will be given by Rev. G.
F. DeVol, who has lectured success
fully in many cities in many states.
The Guthrie (Okla.) Daily Capital
says of him: REV. DeVol puts
hay in the rack. His logic is COM
pact, his address earnest and grace
full. He flows from fact to eloq-
uence, from condemnation to pa
thos, with an ease and climax
which we think rank him among
the best preachers of this land. ="
OF A. A. DeVol's whistling Sena-
tor Robt. l.. Taylor says: I have
heard A. A. DeVol whistle. | have
never heard his equal. His art
cannot be overshadowed in Amer
ica.' Besides these, Benjamin's s
orchestra, the best in this part of
the state, will render several num-
bers. Altogether this entertain
ment will be as good as one could
find in days journey, and those
who attend will have a treat. Ad-
mission 25 cents to any part of the
house; children 15 cents.

value you ever saw in the way of

All superintendent If depart
ments at the Laclede fair next
Saturday are urged to. be on the
grounds early so that there will be
no delay in getting entries started
and the rush will not be so great
later in the day.
1T gives me great pleasure to
recommend the work of Mr.. Allen
DeVol. He is a young man Of un-
usual talent and worthy a place
among first-class programs. D.
Robert NJ. LaF'ollette. At the

Of course you are going to ex-
hibit something at the Laclede
fair. Get your entries ready today
and th%n when that old COW gets
into the corn field tomorrow you
can chase her out and still get to
the fair early. You might forget it
tomorrow until too late.
Saturday, Sept. "a, is the day of
the big Laclede fair. The children
will be there. Now, Mr.. Parent,
won't that be a good time to have
your child's eyes put in good shape
for the winters school work? You
may save them a lifetime of eye
trouble, DR.. Pratt, tie Brookfeld
optician, will be at the Anderson
house all deg Saturday, Sept. "a,
the day of the fair.
A committee of ladies is visiting
the gardens of the children
who compete for prizes. The
season was so unfavorable when
the seeds were sown that the
showing is not as full as all could
wish. However, special attention
will be given to the exhibition of
the children's flowers at the fair
next Saturday, and each of the
competitors is requested to make
as good a showing as possible from
the seeds distributed, or, if that is
impossible, with other flowers
from their gardens.
Among the special premiums at
the Laclede fair next Saturday is
the premium of one dollar offered
by E. E. Toothaker for the best
ten ears of corn selected by boy
under Is years of age. In the
printed list the prize is offered for
the best ear of corn," but that is
mistake and it will take ten ears
to win the prize. So many of our
boys have studied agriculture in
the past few years that the diaplay
for this premium ought to be a
good one, and the boy who wins
the prize will deserve a great deal
of credit.
The Power of Truth" company
playing the DeGraw at Brookfeld
the first three nights of this week
will be at the Laclede opera house
three nights beginning Thursday
night, Sept. %. This splendid
company comes here by request to
give our people, and especially fair
