By far the largest audience since
the appearance of Coburn's Minstrels,
gathered at the opera house last night
to witness the production Of Meadow

Lou Streeter, as 81 Holden, was a
strong character in his depletion Of
the joyial, easy going old farmer,
with a fine touch Of sentiment in his
makeup and he was we'll supported
by the other members of the troupe.
There were a number Of thrilling dra-

Some slight confusion in the seating

Heart toHeart
Talks.
100 LATE.
By EDWIN A. .NYB

You MAJ look through the letter
printed below as through a window
and see q naked soul, remorsefuI and
despairiDc.
The letter was written by Mrs.
Charles y. Rhodes Of Denver to her
husband in Chicago and was used by
Mr. Rhodes as an exhibit in securing
a divorce from the woman.
Mrs. Rhodes became fascinated with
one Harry Nilsted. who was already
married, and The two ran away to-
gether.
1t was three months before Mr..
Rhodes heard from his wife, and it
was through this letter:
Dear Dave-Oh, what shall l do? I am
so unhappy. ! cry awhile and pray
awhile. ] want TO see YOU and Buster 50
much, l ran across his little rings in
my trunk today, and YOU know the rest.
Oh Dave, how I love you, II We could
only blot out the past, Darling, If ] could
only see YOU, Tell me, what shall / do:
This parting is not what il is cracked
up to be. honey. II you had just killed
me and spared me the misery, l guess

and pray God to make me happy again.

tears Of repentance on this letter.
EDNA.
Ye1Tning, hapless soul.
Many a woman has gone that way,
yielding to the impulse Of captivation.
hypnotized into going away from a
man she loved with a man whom she
did not love.
Never loved her husband?
Yes, she did That IS very plain from
the tear blotteC human document filed
by the husband in the divorce court.
But she woke up to the fact too late.
Poor woman,
The husband is like flint toward her
and she has learned she cannot depend
on her paramount If he has not al
ready abandoned her he will soon
tire. And probably he will leave her
helpless and 80 back to the bosom Of
his family That is the man Of it.
1t is easy to predict the poor things
fnish-either by the carbolic acid route
or by slowly. slowly sinking into the
mire, where she was lured by the false
light.
There's a grim warning in that letter
10 the married woman who hesitates.
