'Tell you something about myself?' pretty Miss Morrison said as she began to shed her velvet wrap and bonnet, ready to don her costume for the first act of ."The Bohemian Girl" I'm afraid l don't know where to begin"
 At the beginning, of course I sug gested.
 You mean at the beginning of my mu- sical career? she asked naively. "Yes? Well, that's easy. I have been on the stage only about six years, and the last time I was here I was with Fritzi Scheff. For four years I sang as her understudy and then became the leading soprano of The Aborn Opera Company. am Bos- ton girl-yes-from cold, old intellectual Boston, and never had the slightest idea of going on the stage until MT. McDon- aid of The Bostonians heard me sing = aLlite accidently once. I really had mean to be a concert pianist, and l had lai( no especial stress upon my vocal qualih cations. I went over to New York to pay a little visit and imagine my surprise when I received an offer from MT. Me Donald to sing the role of Maid Marian in Robin Hood Wasn't that just toe lovely? It was really stepping from the drawing room right on the stage.'
 And so different from beginning as a chorus girl and climbing the ladder of fame step by step" I interrupted.
 That was spared me-" said Miss Nor rison. ''It is needless to say that l ac- cepted Mir. McDonalds offer at once. My family was shocked at the very mention of a stage career for me, but I was de- lighted"
 Just at this juncture MT. John R. Phil lips, who sings the role of Thaddeus ir the opera so charmingly, thrust hia head into the dressing room door and asked obout Airline and how she was getting on. which was a delightful di- version to Dolly. who was simply dying to see how he looked of the stage"
 Resumng the conversation Miss Nor. rison sad:
 ''I was with The Bostonians only very short time. when I met the man whC was to make my life very, very happy he was Howard Chambers, whom I after wards married, and by the way MT Chambers succeeded Eugene Cowles witt the Bostonians. He and I then went witt Fritzi Scheff. as I said before, and re maned for four years"
 How do you like the idea of one nigh stands and traveling about as you do?' l asked.
 q like it." said Miss Morrison, who may say en passant, is an optmist iron the heart.
 You are the only person I have eve met, singer or actress, who didn't com plain fearfully of it." I suggested.
 "Oh. am I?" she asked. T don't min 1t at all. Our company is composed o q delightful set of people. and we ar all like one great big family, and I don find it very hard. I am supposed { sing nine or ten times week-besides
 Don't you find that very trying on you yoce?" I asked.
 Not so much as on my nerves, sh replied. But one gets used even to that
 'Is Airline your favorite role?" 1 asked.
 q couldn't say that exactly" said Mis- Morrison. "I am very fond Of it. think the entire opera is lovely. l in clude in my repertoire about 75 roles an of them all l believe l like Mimi in IL Boheme' perhaps best of any, although am considered to be quite soubrettsh l my temperament'
 The call boy announced 'SO minutes, and knew that meant for me to sa good-by, which l did.

TO Remarkable Statement

/ want to tell you what DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root did for my wife. She was
troubled with terrible pains in her back
and they were such that it deprived her
of many nights sleep. There was thick
rcd sediment in her urine like brick dust.
The passage of the urine was very annoy
ing, being of a burning sensation and the
complication was making her very thin
and weak. The medicine which the doc
tor gave her did not seem to help her
and she was finally persuaded to try Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root. | purchased one
bottle Of the large size for her and it helped
ner greatly. After she had taken three
bottles she did not have any more trouble
with her kidneys. 1t has been seven
years since she took Swamp-Root and she
is now we'll and healthy At the time of
her kidney trouble, she weighed l3O pounds,
and she now weighs S5. Ny wife is 80
years of age and cheerfully recommends
DR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to her friends
and feels very thankful that she found a
remedy, with such wonderful merit.

The ladies of Guthrie have been
fortunate in having in their midst
since January j, Mr.. and Mrs w j..
Beman of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who have
been temporarily located at Miss
Shoenhair's Beauty Parors.
These clever people are experts in
the manufacture OF human hair Golf
tiers Of all descriptions. The highly
satisfactory manner Of doing their
work. as well as the rapdity with
which they do it, has resulted in their
doing many pieces of work for many
of the leading ladies' of the city and
vicinity
The continued rush of orders made
it necessary for them to extend their
engagement here for two additional
weeks. ga
They finish their work here today.
These people after experimenting
have found that New Age Hair I'm
guent, is product that is valuable in
deed in giving a desirable dressing
and life lige appearance to their man
ufactured hair products, and do un-
hesitatingly recommend its use in
maintaining such hair at its best.
Any information regarding Mr.. and
Mrs. Beman, as we'll as the merits
of New Age as recommended by them
will be furnished by Miss Snoen hair
at her beauty parlors.
