MAGICIAN WORKS

DeOdati, at Opera House, De-

Those who have witnessed the per-
Torrance OF Deodanti, the magician,
who is on the present bill at the Grand
Opera House, have noticed one pecul-
iarity about his performance. He says
From the time that he comes
upon the stage until he leaves IL he
does not speak a word. What little
talking is necessary is done by his
assistant.
All Of the really great magicians who
have been seen in Wilmington have
been takers As a matter of fact their
talk was used to interest the audience
and, keeping minds on the talk instead
Of the trick, astonish it tho more with
the magic. Some Of the greatest men
in the business have relied upon their
talk as much as upon their tricks to
amuse and have been conversational
comedians in a way Being used to
this. Grand Opera House audiences
have been surprised at the silent man
who has been amusing them since

It at all. For this reason he does not

The present bill will conclude it's en-

will be offered at the matinee on Mon

acts which are expected to prove most

Dawson Co. Review:

osition to segregate twenty one
full and fractional townships from
eastern Dawson county, together
with a somewhat less area from
northeastern Custer. in order to
form the new county OF WlbauX,
with Wibaux as the county seat

ing of the Glendive Com mercial
Club on Tuesday evening, though
10 definite action was then taken
except to determine to put it up to
the business men Of Glendive di-
rect, asking them to sign cards for
or against county division.
A committee from Wibaux was
present consisting Of Fl. K. Schus-
ter. Attorney E. f. Fisher, Al
Davis, J. G. Kinney, W. H. Rue
ker and S. B. Chappell.

selyer to be bunch of live ones,

The Terry Tribune:

Just as we go to press we learn
that the county division scheme is
being roused-that a conference is
today being held in Glendive by
these secret agents Of Baker, lsmay
and Eka,aka for the purpose Of de
vising some way in which Custer
county can be divided and each
made a county seat. In the face
Of the pledge made by Geo. w.
Burt when candidate for repre-
sentative and the platform upon
which MIR. Terrett ran for the leg
lslature, we feel that these schem-
Is will be Of no avail. The legis-
Iators are men of honor men who
could not be persuaded to 60 back
on their pledges and we have no
l,,.. that Custer county will be d.
vided.

The following quotations from

Wibaux has q live bunch hustllng

There are few counter moves on

gagged in secret seances, but even
there, there is division III the camp;
"A house divided against itself

very largely upon the Hedges of

THOUGHT THACKERAY A sN0B
the Irony In Retort Made by tho
Great Novelist.

Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions of himself by often in
dulging in irony in the presence OF
people incapable Of understanding
it. One curious instance is this: He
had been dining at the Garrick and
was talking in the smoking room
after dinner with various club ac-'
quaintances. One of them happen
ing to have left his cigar case at
home, Thackeray, though dislihng
the man, who was a notorious tuft
hunter, good naturedly offered him
one of his cigars. The man accept
ed the cigar, but, not finding it to
his liking, had the bad taste to say:
81 say, Thackeray, you won't mind
my saying don't think much OF
this cigar" Thackeray, no doubt
irritated at the mans ungracious-
ness, quietly responded: "You ought
to, my good fellow, for it was given
me by a lord" Instead, however,
of detecting the irony, the dolt I'M
mediately attributed the remark to
snobbishness on Thackeray's part,
and went about declaring that
"Thackeray had boasted that he had
been given a cigar by a lord. Ions
