A little gem of a playlet, the best
seen at the Orpheum for some time,
is Captain Velvet" with Mr.. Ar
den and Miss Olive Templeton as
the leading characters this week. 1t
is a bit Of work by Mr.. Arden him
self and has quite an all-star cast
for a vaudeville attraction. Miss
Templeton spent last season in Bos-
ton stock, and the season before
with Thomas Jefferson You might
naturally presume that the charac-
tiers would be portrayed by western
players-at least players who had
been in the border country, but
such is not the case
Are you westerner?" l asked
Miss Templeton.
ooh, dear no." she replied; I'm
from Boston," and she smiled
amusedly.

Ignorance of the Educated

Charles W. Eliot ought to be the best informed in
the United States yet he charges the high cost OF living
to extavagant wages and wasteu methods imposed upon
the country by labor unions.
The average annual wage of labor in the United States,
including all classes skilled and unsked is rather less
than 5000 per year.
The average cost of maintaining family with no al
lowance for automobiles grand opera travel is $3.50
per year, according to recent government report
Hoes does labor make up the difference between the
average wage and the average household expense?
By sending children to work when they ought to be in
school, and sending to work when they ought to be
at home.
More than 100000 children and 100000 women are
working in mne factory and store to enable their families
to subsist.
If Eliot knows these facts he does not comprehend
their true significance None ignorant the edu-
cated-so ignorant that is to say about the life of the
masses.
With the best intentions in the world they write and
talk nonsense for they live in fool paradise.

the name Poindexter, meaning
Striking right arm"
The POindexters in Jersey, who
spelled their name Poingdestres,
became governors and writer's and
knights, and fought in all the bat
ties there were. When Cromwell
came In they fought for the king,
and when he was defeated they
went ovr to France to fight for the
Protestant HuguenOts.
Four generations of Poindexter
were governors of Jersey, and five
generations were judges.
When America was discovered,
the Poindexters hurried over to
Virginia and settled there. A Geo.
Poindexter, who followed John
Smith to jamestown, was the an
cestOr of Senator Poindexter.
1t is only fair to the insurgent
senator to say that this informa-
ton about his past was not dug UP
by a professional pedigree hunter.

These are DR.. Martins rules
