INMATES OF THE HOUSE
 THAT JACK BUILT"

Yesterday afternoon at the Or pheum, Birming gham en masse had its first glimpse of the inmates of the House that Jack Built. All dressed in their best bib and tucker for Jack s birthday party. To be sure, we knew them all before-have known them from earliest childh ood. but only from the printed page. Never before had we seen them in the flesh.
 Each inmate, from Mother Goose and Jack, down to the tiniest little Grass blade, seemed to feel that the success of the whole depended on his or her playing well the allotted part. The cast

A Recipe Which Only Three Men Know

The recirs for Van Camps Spaghetti has never aeen written down.
 Only th~, men know it all.
 The only way to ever get spaghstti like this is to let us cook it for you. And it costs you less than to make 1t your. self, even if we told you how.
 Many have eaten delicious spaghetti. Some have eaten the Italian style as 7 prepared by the chefs of Rome.
 But all will ask, when you serve Van Camps, "What recipe is this?',
 There are IT ingredients used in it, but the art comes in the flavor. The main materials are:
 Durum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese.
 Best creamery butter.
 The same expensive tomato sauce we
 use in Van Camps Pork & Beans. Your grocer now has this new dinner delight, ready cooked for you.
 It is the most popular dish ever pre-. pared in our kitchen.
 Simply heat it or bake it, as you pre- fer. There's nothing else to do. However much you serve you will find, we think, that there's never . mite left over. kTg8

BERT STICKLES
NOT in RIGHT
MIND AT DEATH

Mrs. C. H. Stickles announced at her
home in West Haven. today, that ar
rangements had been compile Led for
the funeral of her husband. Bert
Stickles. whose mysterious death IN
Omaha, early this week. shocked a
large number of acquaintance in this
city, where he was formerly promi-
nent in the mail order business.
The obseQuies will be held at his
late home. 80 Smith street. West Ea-
ven, Tuesday afternoon at $3.50, under
Masonic auspices. Mrs. Stickles is
still in the dark as to the reason
for her husbands strange trip to
Omaha.
Those who knew Stickles best are Of
the opinion that he had not been mem
tally responsible for several weeks.
He was in Bridgeport the day he left
New Haven. started for a train TO
New Haven and missed it. and then
boarded a train for New York. He
wired his wife he was going West, but
assigned no reason for his trip.
One who knew Stickles very well
said today he had been mentally NOR
bid for some weeks. He believed
izing his destination. and that while
s, ill laboring under the stress of mem
tai alteration. had ended his life.
Thus he accounted for Stickles' having
registered under the name of c. H.
Slocum at the hotel he visited. and
for the otherwise seemingly inexplic-
able fact Of his being found in q de-
serted house. with the gas turned on.

CHILDREN PRESENT
MORALITY PLAY

Under the director of Miss Grace
Dalrymple Clarke, the kindergarten
training class of Mis- Fannie A.
Smiths Froebel kindergarten present
ed two plays for children at Warner
hall last evening before a select audi
ence. The success of the plays will
doubtless result in their being made
a part of the regular course of train
ing for the pro pectfve teachers. The
plays were repeated this afternoon.
Miss Smith adopted the scheme of
presenting these plays as a part of
the system for developing the art of
correct speaking. Miss Clarke adopt
ed two simple plays for the first eff
fort. Their presentation was marked
with the careful attention to detail
that characterizes all Miss Clarkes ef-
forts. The naturalness and smooth
ness Of the plays reflected credit alike
upon Miss Clarke and the young play
ers.
The first was q morality play Of
the 14th century, 1.-THE House of the
Heart" admirably staged and effec-
lively played. Even in the minute
detail of staging the play, Miss Clark g
emulated the fashion of the players
of four and five hundred years ago.
Miss Marguerite Bishop sang kinder
garten songs during the entra 'actes.
Bentley's orchestra accompanied and
furnished the incidental music and
concert. "The finder Box" a fairy
tale, was the second played presented
with equally pleasing result.
The casts Of the two plays follows:
"House of the Heart" a morality
play by Constance darcy Mackay.
