THE TWO ORPHANS

"The Two Orphans D'Ennery's
wonderful old masterpiece, play
made famous throughout the length
and breadth of the land by Kate
Claxton will be the Offering of The
Lyceum Stock Company next week.
For a good many years the 1.-TWO
Orphans" has been the most success
full drama before the public, having
been played for years by Miss Clax-
ton and number of lesser lights.
Some two years ago, William A.
Brady, the well known New York
Manager, made a sumptuous revival
of the piece with an all-star cast.
This revival was wonderful success
both in New York and the larger
cities in the United States.
It's presentation by that company
has been the only one seen for a
number of years in Toledo and re-
quests have been so numerous that
the company has decided to revive
THIS magnlncenC old play Tor the
pleasure of his patrons 1t has Sc
cured the original ClaXton version
and will give it a gorgeous produc.
ton, one seldom made by any stock
company. The costumes will be from
the same plates as used by the all
star cast and scenically the piece will
lack for nothing. The seven beauti
full scenes offer exceptional opportu
mites to the scenic artists and beau
tiful pictures of the old Paris will re
suite.
The story of "The Two Orphans
is too well known to require mucl
comment. The heart interest in thi
grand old play has never been equal
led and the love stories of Henriett
and the Chevalier and Louise an,
Pierre have never been duplicated il
modern drama or fiction.

latest new that cheers comes from
Alabama, where lives man, 81 years
old who says he has eaten hot biscuits
regularly all his life, and never exper
fenced Inconvenience except when they
we're scarce. This corroborates the
statement of the Secretary of Agricul'

DENYING OUR MOODS
SOMETHING THAT EVEN TIE
MOST HONEST WILL DO.
With the Return of Sanity Comes o
Doubt of Ones Having Been
Possessed of Any Extrem-
ity of Sensation.

When mood has gone the most
honest of us deny that we ever har.
bored it. Sanity has returned to us,
and nothing is as improbable as our
ever having admired a certain type,
been angry at particular person, OF
gone through any other extremity OF
sensation. We begin by not liking the
idea of our late mood, and after
weeks discomfort with the memory
we arrive at soothing disbelief of the
sensations ever having existed in us
Blandly we deny passed madness
and there is so much to be said fol
our stand. A prisoner in the dock IL
all likelihood feels in much the same
way. He no longer is in a rage with
the person he murdered, which makes
him doubt strongly whether he com
mitted the murder at all; so that. ow
ing to this indecision and his suspi
cion that he is innocent, he denies al
knowledge of the crime. 1t is only
when he has heard sufficient evidence
to connect his present calm self With
the emotional performer in the dis.
cussed incident that he breaks dowr
and confesses his guilt 1t is in all
probability the first time that he las
himself believed it.
On milder and less tragic scale we
act in much the same way regarding
our own emotional excursions. 1t is Sc
easy to imagine how a divorced won.
an, who has married the second trI .e
with harmonious results, can look at
her first husband and say; Il realize
that to other people there is certain
justice in this mans claim that he
was once my husband, but as for me
l can give no weight to his clearly
ridiculous statement for the simple
TACT that 1t does not stand to reason
Would l. as you, ever have married
such man? is it likely that |, with
the discrimination which led me tc
choose my present husband, would
ever have had so much as .. passing
fancy for this improbable, this posi-
lively fictitious locking person? You
can see for yourself that the facts dis
prove his absurd statements. He may
appear to be my former husband, but
|, with my knowledge of myself and
my distinct recollection of the past
know him for .delusion on the par
OF the world in general, permissible
mistake, | admit, but nevertheless &
mere mirage, and nothing more"

1t is said that this is the year that
the seyenteen year locust is due again,
and In few weeks he will make his
appearance on the farms of the mid
die west. At least the authorities on
locust lore and superstition are sure
he will. No one seems to know exact
ly where seven year locust comesfrom,
but it is matter of record that he
shows up regularly. However, if they
are no more dangerous than Halley's
rs year old comet, there need be lit
tie alarm felt on their account

II expect to make a clean sweep in
Paris, meeting Willie Lewis first. Later
I may go to England and try to get
Tom Thomas to meet me- The middle
weight limit in England is higher than

Thomas away.

SPORTING NOTES
GIVE CUB RECRUITS
TRIAL, SAYS CHANCE
Manager Advises Murphy
to Hold Onto New
Men.

Give the recruits a chance IS the
principle upon which Chance is work
ing. In a letter which Murphy has
received from the manager, Chance
advises him to keep them all until
the yget trial on the spring trip.
Every day Murphy gets requests for
players. Yesterday Bill Anthony of AL
bany asked for Pitchers Cole, Willis
Geist and Woods, First Baseman Luder-
us and Outfielder Davidson. In his let
ter to Murphy he said he would be
pleased to get one or all of them. The
Cub boss. however. will hold onto his
new men for a while at least
Chance hopes to bolster up the Cubs
by the infusion of a little new recruit
blood and also by getting one or two
star pitchers by the exchange route.
Pitcher Mordecai Brown left for his
Ros edale. Ind. home yesterday without
signing a contract. 1t is believed that
he will talk over the whole proposition
with Murphy when he returns next
week.

both men and think he should make
a good referee, being our nations chief
leader, and a great leader was he.
