"sEvEN DAYS"
A Great Comedy Coming to the
Grand Saturday Evening,
Nov: 10Th.

Seven Days." one week of
hilarious fun compressed into two
hours and forty-five minutes of
riotous laughter. That's the play,
and it's coming to the Grand opera
house, Nov. H.
"A veritable conspiracy of fun"
is the way Louis V. De Foe, drama
tic critic of the New York World,
described this comedy. Said he in
bis review, Seven Days is filled
with uproarious fun, with never a
dull second. 1t convulsed its audi
ences. 1t contains every element OF
uncommCnly good entertainment
The wonder of the play is that the
authors, Mary Roberts Rinehart and
Avery Hopwood, could have started
their fun flowing so spontaneously
and kept it going so unflaggingly."
Now in the second year of it's run
at the AstOr Theatre, Seven Days
has kept New York in paroxysms of
merriment since its opening night,
as for six months it created a hurri-
cane of laughter in Chicago. Every
body agrees that it is the best
comedy produced in this country in
decade, and it will be seen here
under exceptionally attractive con-
ditions, for Messrs. Wagenthals &
Kemper are sending a brilliant New
York. cast and gorgeous Aston
Theatre scenic equipment. So get
in training for this comedy, be,
cause, as Harper's Weekly SAID
Seven Days makes one weak
from laughing" Don't miss it.

BACK TO THE FARM.

Back to the farm is the latest
cry. 1t used to be that the beauty
and glory and charm of farm life
was held up as an inducement for
the farmer boy to cling to the pillow
and the cause of agriculture. But
there was no more reason why the
farmer boy should cling to the vo-
cation of his father than that a
lawyers son should adopt the
practice of law, and minister's
son become minister, and so on. 1t
sometimes follows that the son is
fitted to follow his fathers occupa-
ton, but not always so, for what
ever a young mans mental tenden-
cies, that line of endeavor he should
follow, and not until the farm be-
comes universally profitable will the
ulling of the soil increase in popu-
larity And that time seems to
have arrived. In the past there has
been no competition in farm pro-
ducts, for there was not enough of
home consumption to meet the gen.
erous offerings of the earth. Broad
fields Of wheat and corn demanding
little attention produced lavishly
and the wide expanse of prairies
raised cattle and sheep with little
care, SO that prices were uninviting.
But upon the division of the raw
lands into farms and with the in
creasing growth of factories and
the largely increasing centers of
population the tables are being
turned and the demand for pro-
ducts of the farm are rapidly in
creasing on the supply, SO that from
now on we may expect to see a
greater tendency toward farm life;
and this is where the farmer will
become more interested in the tar
iff, for without the tariff Canadian
wheat will flood this country and
reduce prices and Mexican and Ar
gentina cattle and meats will rob
the American farmer of his own
Elk.

CHICAGO. Aug. e.-Passengers trav-
cling over many of the leading railroad
systems may soon be entertained en-
route by dissertations from the con
ductors and other train employees on
the advantages to be derived from al
lowing the roads to advance freight
rates, If the advice of prominent rail-
way executives to their employees is
followed.
1t was learned today that a pamphlet
is circulating now among the 40 300 en-
ployees OF the Illinois Central, appeal
ing to them ito study the railroad rate
question and discuss it among them
selves until they are thoroughly con-
versant with the actual conditions from
the financial point Of view. Having
done this, each employee is urged to
assist in converting the public.

their people from Spain in 1892, when

their freedom.
