The Judge of the juvenile court,
leaning forward in his chair, looked
searchingly from the discreet and very
ragged pickaninny before his desk to
the ample and solicitous form of the
culprit's mother, says the Youth S
Companion why do you send him

The careful disciplinarian turned
her broad. shiny countenance reprov-
ingly upon her undisturbed offspring,
but kept conciliatory eye for the
Judge.
You burn the coal he brings, do
you not?" persisted the judge.
Burns it-burns it-cose burns it.
Wy, jedge. has to git it ont OBJ de

Why don't you send him back with

as he rasped out the question.

SUFFRAGETTES

"Vctes for Women Express Opinions

Candidates for political Offices and
their followers in Iowa are not the
only persons now busily campaigning.
Not to be outdone by the politicians
the sleepless enthusiasts for votes
for women" in this state have taken
the warpath on their own account.
Printed circulars asking what is
their attitude toward woman suffrage,
are being sent to candidates for con-
gress. One or two of the nominated
candidates, these being the nominees
on the prohibition and socialist party
tickets, have expressed themselves in
favor of full suffrage for women. One
nominee is not only qualifiedly in
favor of unrestricted suffrage for
women but shows himself we'll versed

RATS CAUSE OF GHOST SCARE
Rodents Pull Electric Wire, Causing
the Light to Rise and Fall and
Frightening Men.

There are probably few persons who
would confess to a belief in ghosts,
spirits, specters, or spoolzs. as told
in stories. But when some mysteri-
Gus circumstance occurs at night time
they are among the first to think of
ghosts as an explanation of the phe-
nomenon.
This, perhaps. was the case with Ell.
mer Sampson and Art Anderson, who
were startled and mystified as they
were sitting in the office of a livery
barn one evening recently when the
electric light hanging from the ceiling
began to rise and fall.
1t Is said that Mr.. Anderson. who
thought ghost was in the attic, sug-
gested that they give chase to it with
a pail Of water. 1t was finally decided
that Mr.. Anderson should get Ian.
tern, while Mr.. Sampson got a ladder,
that they might investigate the attic
for the cause of the disturbance.
The young men felt relieved at find
Ing that two huge rats had been tug
ging away at an old umbrella, the
handle of which had become hooked

While other companies depend on
their established title for patronage,
it was up to this attraction to gain
reputation right off the start when
it opened four years ago. 1t made a
deserving reputation for itself, and
this season the management has eX-
pended a large amount of money,
which was to secure the best of the
very best. This policy has proven a
wise one, and those familiar with af-
fairs are we'll aware of the fact that
this organization this season has sur
passed the keenest anticipations Of
it's management. The company embod-
les a cast almost twice the size Of
the usual attraction 1t was the chief
aim to give the attraction a bright
and brilliant appearance, to which an
abundance of handsome women were
essential. Faded beauties who only
too often make their appearance on

Tuesday, Oct. 4th, when Lew Dock
stader and his Goth Century Min
strels," under the management of the
Messrs. Shubert, come here In their
latest creation of black face comedy.
Lew Dockstader scarcely needs an
introduction to this or any other COM

strel entertainer, and is about the only
man left who has real minstrel show.
There are other burnt cork organiza-

Dockstader and his associates are
the only minstrel performers who get
into tie first class theatres. Dock.
stader has long since established him,
self as q pre-eminent entertainer. He
has true sense of humor, and a
brand of satire that is keen, but yet
kindly. He is always funny, and al
times truly artistic, but though his
name appears in big letters on the
billboard, he doees not try to make
himself the whole show. but has sur.
rounded himself with other comedians
of reputation and genuine merit as
fun makers. He has corps of vocal
soloists who are probably the best
ballad singers to be obtained for this
style of entertainment There are
an,cc~c oalore and an orchestra OF
twenty-one instruments. The enter
