BREED THEATER.

Again, the Breed theater offers all exceptionally strong and brilliant bill for its patrons today, and last even- ing it was shown to 8 packed house.
 The tremendously thrilling and in- teresting story of the plains entitled The Sheepnans Triumph, has be- sides a splendid plot, the added at- traction of a marvellous collection of views of sheep raising and herding as 1t is done on the great prairies, of the middle and far west. A spectacu- lar scene is where the rival cattlemen attempt to rustic the cattle over the immense flock of grazing sheep. The ranch owners daughter is overtaken by the crazed cattle during this great scene and is only saved from death by the prompt arrival of a young sheep- man, who. despite the rival conditions sees her peril. and rushes to her res- cue. Her father, a cattleman, at first refuses to recognize him, but after wards repents, and sees in him, the saviour of his daughter, and the whole ends happily.
 The Express Package, another pict- ure success, is a wonderful rail- road picture and presents the thrilling situations in rapid succession, carrying the audience with 1t, to the great finish. Miss Day sings, the pretty il- lustrated songs, Canoeing" and Roses Will Tell.'

AT POLPS.

That the time was ripe for a good ru- ral play has been plainly shown already by the advance interest in the Poli Players production of sky Farm which is scheduled for next week.
 There is but one drawback, and that is the limited number of matinees. As there are but three given regularly by the company now, it would seem by the demand that has already been shown that these three will not be enough to accommodate all those who will want to come in the afternoons.
 On Monday night for the opening performance a handsome set of post card souvenirs of Tom Moore, the pop ular leading man, will be presented to each lady attending. There are three different styles to the set, and as they are particularly attractive an extra number has been ordered, sd that ev- cry lady will be sure to get one.
 Sky Farm is dramatized simplicity, together with a happy blending of pa thos, comedy and drama The village gossip, the minister, the widow post mistress. the miser. the hackman, the tomboy-all are here, and all do their utmost to make everything enjoyable. There is a. barn dance, of course, and it is on Christmas eve too. Nothing has been omitted that has been found pleasing to lovers of this style of play. The scenery is of itself a feature, and while it has been considerable of a task to complete it in one week. 8 time, still it is ready and is worthy of pride too.
 For the following week the stock company will present the most sensa- ticnal play ever written, Clyde Fitch's last and greatest play, "The City," This is a play the equal of which has never been seen here, and should be a positive sensation.

EFFICIENCY How Many Men Know How To
 Keep It At Par

Thousands; yes tens of thousands of men, grow old 10 years too soon.
 If you are man and realize that your efficiency is on the wane and that you are losing money and happiness in consequence, get a 50 cent box Of MEDINA stomach tablets today and take two after or with each meal for three days; then take one with each meal regularly until you feel well and vigorous.
 MI-O-NA stomach tablets disinfect, tone up, restore elasticity to the stom- ach and intestinal canal and end 1ndl-7 gestion. They do more: they increase the nutrition of the body and in case of nerve exhaustion, sleeplessness, night sweats, bad dreams or any con dition that requires g restorative they act with astonishing rapidity. They can be found at The Lee & Osgood Co. and helpful druggists the world over

Stadium Trio At The Auditorium.

There will be 8 very interesting set Of motion pictures for the children to see at the matinee today. Lockinrear the Scotch poem by Walter Scott has been put into picture form and will be shown to the interest of all. There is also a good comedy Bison film which will please the children and several other interesting photoplays will be shown.
 On Monday an exceptionally clever act has been secured in the Stadium Trio of sterling athletes who have an act which is startling in every de- tail. John Rucker, the Alabama Blos- som will put over a side splitting monologue in his own original way and will no doubt make a record breaking hit here as he has done in other theaters who have been able to se- cure him. A singing and pianoIogue act will be introduced by Bother & Anthony which looks very promising. An especially good picture bill is look ed for Monday to carry out the vaude- vile show in A l shape.

 But then we do not dare. We'd like to walk in garments gay, And oft the point discuss; We know we could. but if we should Folk might make fun of us! The hero in the checkered sock We secretly look up to, But say he's Crude and call him
