Auditorium.

She is called "A Stubborn Cinder-
ella" but that is as far as it goes. If
holding a pair of puckered lips in the
immediate vicinity of a handsome
young mans mouth is being stubborn,
there is going to be a lively market
for this modern class of Cinderellas,
especially if they resemble to any
great degree the alluring Miss Hazel
Kirk (who did not sit by the fire in
rags, at the Auditorium last evening.
But no one in the great audience,
which filled the "Theater Beautiful, -
objected because the authors had
twisted the plot, left all the fairy tales
to the college hero and caused the
peachy member of royalty to discard
the duke in favor of a clever Yankee.
Much of the fun OF the plot evolved
about this young lady-after Cham
bers-who had been brought up with
out knowing a man outside of the
family. When taken aboard-in the
play-she naturally picked out the
most attractive fellow in sight, tried
to kiss him several times minute
and talked to him of lingerie until
his collar choked him black in the
face.
A seething college campus, train.
bound near the Mexican line and an
orange fete at Coronado, constitute
three long acts of this pleasing musi
cal comedy: A criticism of the pro
duction would be unfair which did not
give a full share of the credit to the
splendid chorus, which holds together
the long-drawn plot. 1t is an unusual
chorus, composed of shapely girls and
manly appearing fellows, all of whom
sing the choruses grandly. 1t is sell
dom that as fine singing aggregation
of the character has been heard here
There is life, snap and constant action
in that chorus and the costumes are
original, thanks be.
LII duullIOA W lulS SOuu6WndI uu
usual chorus, there is petite Lillian
Goldsmith, about as big as minute
with cunning little voice to match
who rahs! rahs! with the college boys
and dances like the fairy she is. She
danced a great deal of applause out
Of the audience, which could not gel
enough of her grace.
OF course, the gay and careless come
dians are there. E. Colt Albertson was
the most frisky of the lot. He is drol
fellow who can get a laugh upon the
| slightest excuse. Cinderella was his
foil and the two end it all by falling
in each others arms. And every wo
man in the audience heaves a huge
sigh of absolute contentment. They
know that woman who can look posi-
lively divine in hobble skirt is toe
good for a duke anyway.
Neal Burns, who is "Skeeter" is {
Cohanese youth, renders his numbers
and disjointed dances with great sue
cess. Bobbie Wagner, the fat boy
adds to the joy of the occasions.

died here today, friendless and penni-
less. The death was due to the in

Some Fine Furs


That all the marten have not
been cleaned out was demonstrated
this week when Frank Adams and
Ted" Cunningham arrived over
from the Bradheld canal country
with as fine little bunch of skins
as has been brought to town for
some time. The skins were dark,
and almost all of them prime, and
brought a good price.

The "Cheshire Cheese.U

We are often told that the Cheshire Cheese was one of 'Johnson's haunts. We are told that Johnson's chair Is preserved in that tavern and that a brass plate marks his favorite seat The stories con- cerning Johnsons association with the Cheshire Cheese are all moonshine There is no reason whatever for believing that he ever entered the door of that tavern. and there Is not a single reference to tho Cheshire Cheese in Boswell or in any volume of Johnsoniana. These fictions really originated some 50 years ago in a joke played off by Albert Smith for the benefit of some creduous Americans and country visitors whom he found at the Cheshire Cheese one day. The then pro- prietor was clever enough to see that the Johnson romance might be profitably util- fzed, and certainly the most has been made of It.

SPY IS CAPTURED.
Makes Attempt To Hoodwink Two
 French Workmen.

Paris, January 22-(special.) )-The in- sight and patriotism of two French work men in a military arsenal near the Ger man frontier have led to the arrest, red handed, of a German spy. The two work men, who had both served in the foreign legion. and had fought in Morocco, were accosted by man who declared that he also had fought in that country.
 The three adjourned to a cafe, where they talked on the subject of German spies. Before they separated the stranger offered the two workmen 5000 If they would enable him to get into the arsenal and have look at the mechanism of the French 75-millimetre gun. The two work men glanced at each other and then agreed to help the stranger. arranging . meeting place for the following day.
 As soon as they parted from him they went to the police and disclosed the plot. The German duly arrived at the meeting place, but instead of finding the two workmen waiting for him he was sur rounded by police, who arrested him.

 The Duke of Westminster has unlimited capital, being one of the richest peers of Great Britain, and is withal a man of fine business judgment He has the rep utation of achieving success in whatever he undertakes and its not at all improb- able that he will make a success of this new venture. It is interesting In this con- nection to note that the British govern ment has decided to grant a bonus of s5O,OO0 year for three years to encour- age the growth of cotton in British ter ritory. It is not improbable that the Duke of Westminster will be one of the beneficiaries of this grant.
 Another peer who is going in for the es- tablisment of a new industry is the Earl of Denbigh. Lord Denbigh is devoting his attention to the growing of sugar beets in England, and has met with a considerable degree of success in his ex- pertinent.
 England now imports practically all of its sugar, and Lord Denbigh sees no req son why this cannot be built up into a profitable industry in England. as 1t has been in France and Germany.
 It is not improbable that government aid will be extended also to this enter prise.
 Two Amer1cans-Dr Prescott of Boston and pr. Owen of Detroit-have been en- gagged in c curious and romantic quest in a cave in the cliffs overlooking the River Wye near Chepstow castle. For long time they delved and dug with pick and shovel, greatly arousing the curiosity of the people of Chepstow, from whom, however, the object of their search was kept a close secret. It has now, how ever been made known that the search CTS were hoping to find some valuable documents possessing a peculiar histori- cal importance, which have been buried for over 300 years. The cave was search ed in every direction, but no papers came to Ngth.

Here's a Weather Prophet
@ New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 T suppose" said Mr. Bliffl1inton. that all greatness has It's penalties, and I don't know of any reason why there should be an exception in my case but the penalty that have to pay does shake me little at times.
 "You see my greatness-let me state 1t as modestly as I can-consists in my abil- ity to prognosticate the weather. Some men, you know, add to their powers of observation an instinctive ability in this direction; they can come pretty close to telling you with accuracy what the weather is going to be for day or two ahead, however things may look at the moment and of such wise men I am one. and dare say that on some occasions, in my human vanity I have let this fact be known, with the result that among my friends as a weather prophet I have achieved fame, and I have to pay the penalty
 T am deeply engrossed in business in my office and I hear the telephone bell ring and I say to myself: Bet that's Jones' going to close the order he was talking about yesterday. But when I take down the receiver it isn't Jones I hear, but my friend Gwilks, and what he says is:
 BllHy, olu boy, what dO you tn1nk the weather is going to be tomorrow? Wife and were thinking of taking a lit- tie run in the country but we don't want to go unless the weather Is going to be right
 And tell him and he hangs up.
 Next morning when I hear the tele- phone think it's Slmby sure, calling me up to say that he'll have that check around before o'clock without fail. but it's my old friend Gorl1s wanting to know for his information and benefit something about the weather, and I tell him. I'm glad to, and it's all right; but you see that in this way I do get good many more or less sharp shocks and jolts.
 ''Still, I am ready to pay the penalty and pay 1t willingly. I don't suppose there ever was a great man yet but what found some drawbacks in the joys of greatness"

 Are you sure that was a correct re- port about the gentleman at the right of the chairman, MT. Scadds, being born with silver spoon in his mouth?" whis- pered one of the diners to his neighbor at a trade banquet in western town.
 Most assuredly he was," replied the in- terrogated party.
 Well, then," said the first speaker, ''he must have lost it-and his fork along with 1t. The only table implement I have noticed in his mouth since we sat down to dine Is his knife"
