Everybody chuckles in Mrs. Dot" The
little bubbling laugh that Miss Billie Burke
is blessed with is only one of the things
that make her so charming, but 1t is the
one quality which she has made most catch
ing, and everybody else in the play has
caught It. Somerset Vaughan was not
laboring with theory when he wrote the
comedy, but he was we'll convinced of the
fact that nothing is so intensely interesting
to an audience as to see an actress with
winsome personality throw herself sue
cessively at the heads OF two or three
men, and Of course It is both thrilling and
funny when one of them happens to take
| 1t distastefully.

for such purpose. the settlement COM

settlement to die there with them.
Then. too. by degrees there grew up
the belief emong the natives that ter
rible mistakes OF diagnosis by the
physicians were consigning innocent
and helpless people to the living sepul-
cher. And as each year failed to eradi-
cate the disease as had been represent
ed. but still claimed It's toll, the belief
became almost universal that a larger
proportion OF those committed were
sacrifices to the despotism and ig-

science that boasted but could not

BY degrees. as the government real

care for themselves. conditions were

took entire charge of the lepers, and

most generous and exceed 1925. 900 an

MERE MAN oUTBID BY WOMAN.
Los Angelo. widow Win. Earn

Los Angeles Widow Wins Farm
from Wyoming Man at Auction.
Outbid by a woman. This was the
experience Of Edward B. Miner from
the PAIRS Of Wyoming, in the contest
for Yuma farm unit G 33, which was
auctioned at the United States land
Office. says the Los Angeles Express.
Mrs. Mary E. Delo, widow, residing
In this city. was the woman who re-
fused to be outdone by mere man.
The price paid was 1901.
The land for which Mrs. Delo and
Mr.. Miner were bidding was a farm
unit which went by default, the sue
cessful applicant in the drawing hav-
Ing failed to make the first payment
within the ten-day period.
When Receiver Robinson offered this
strip OF land at auction a contest for
the farm was begun
1t did not require the perception of
sage to see that the land was want
ed by both Mr.. Miner and Mrs. Delo.
AS quickly as one bid, the price
was raised by the other contestant for
the farm. Rapidly the price was bid
up to 800. and then increased stead
lily until 1t had scared to 5000. At
this figure, friend of Miner per-
suaded him to withdraw from the bid
ding, and no person seemed willing to
raise the price of 1901 bid by Mrs.
Delo.
Receiver Robinson declared that
Mrs. Delo had purchased the first
right to file an entry on farm unit
G 3S of the Yuma land project for
1901. In addition to this amount. II

HOBO HELD. FOR CRIME.

Police Suspect Ifinernnt Umbrella
Meader Of Completely In Murder.
John Edwards, aged "a years, trav-
cling umbrella member, is being held
by the police in connection with the
murder of the stranger at Hobo grove,
near Madison. Edwards was the last
known man to be seen on the streets
with the man who was killed. He was
summoned before the coroner's jury
and told a practically straight story.
The police, however, cling to the be-
lief that Edwards was an eyewitness to
the crime and is keeping silent be-
cause of fear of violence on the part
of others there. 1t is now thought the
murder was committed during quar-
rel with drunken hoboes.
