WELL RECOMMENDED
Famous Troupe Of Negro Jubilee
Singers Coming Due in Dallas
Wednesday, January 8.

An attraction of unusual merit has
been obtained by Dallas College for
the next number Of its Lyceum
course, to be given in Woodman
Hall, Wednesday, January 3, by the
Carter's Virginia Warblers, one of
the oldest companies before the pub
lie. 1t was organized in 1898. II
consists of four male and two female
voices carefully selected, whose abil-
ity has been put to the seyerest
test. All are thorough and accom-
plished musicians who know how to
sing the old plantation melodies and
camp meeting favorites of years ago.
Nolan 7. Washington is at the
head of this famous troup Of jubilee
warblers. As whistler and bird
imitator, he is unexcelled by any one
in either theatrical or vaudeville
circles.
HCarter's Virginia Warblers are
by far the best company of colored
singers that ever visited this city
and will be assured good audience
should they return to give another
concert here. North Dakota Ga

''The Virginia Warblers have the
reputation Of being one OF the fore
most companies of colored artists
in America, and their work here has
certainly been such as to maintain
this reputation, for they have called
forth most enthusiastic applause

Referring to Carter's Virginia
Warblers, the Omaha Bee, Omaha,
Nebraska, says: "The entire COM
pany gave complete satisfaction and
each and every member received
much merited applaus."
"The Virginia Warblers were the
fourth number on the lecture course
and was a complete success. There
may be other warblers but none like

ORCHARD BRINGS BIG PRICE
Portland Parties Pay $4,000 For
Dundee Tract.

The sale is reported of the W. G.
Sanderson prune orchard of 100
acres, on the hills southwest of Dun
dee for 100000, the purchasers be-
ing J. C. CASTILLO and Phillip Philian,
of Portland.
Several years ago this land was
bought from the CRANES heirs by
Seth A. Mills and his brother Dr.
A. Mills, now of Corvallis, both OF
whom built houses on the land and
lived there for several years. They
set most of the land to Italian
prunes and the orchards are now re-
puted to rank with the best in the
country.
Mr.. Sanderson is said to have put
good many improvements on the
land but the increase in price over
what he paid for it shows hand.

not herself that the woman spends with
both hands.
Sometimes a woman Is extravagant
simply because her husband tells her
nothing of his business affairs. and she
spends more than she should because
she hasn't any idea OF what their re-
sources are. How is the woman to
know what she can afford and what
she cannot when she doesn't even know
what their income is?
And sometimes woman is extrava-
CANT because all that her married life
has brought her is the poor things that
money will buy. She knows that her
husband is weary OF her, perhaps that
he is unfaithfuI to her. She is left, lone
and neglected, and she solaces herself
as best she can by spending money
Women take to>that in trouble as men
take to drink. and many a woman piles
silk-velvet and point lace above her
heart to try to stop its aching.
These are, however. abnormal cases,
and do not affect the fact that the
great mass of womanhood are thrifty
and saving when they have a chance to
save anything, and the wisest days
work any man ever does is when he
takes his wife into partnership with
him. and turns over to her keeping his
Rocketbook.
She'll save where he could not, and
he'll never have occasion to blame her
for extravaganza. Remember that
woman started the first savings bank.

Among working women you will also
find that it is the exception, and not
the rule for woman not to have a
savings bank account. On an equal
salary a woman will almost invariably
put away money while a man will be
in debt
Nor is this because the man has more
to support on his wages than the wo-
man has. This is not true. The work
ing woman is just as apt TO have a
family depending on her as man is,
and in the case of daughters and sons.
the girl will divide much more literally
with her parents than the boy will
OF course the explanation is very
simple. Women save because they have
a greater horror of death than men
have, and they are more dependent on
money than men are. A man feels that
if he fails at one thing he can turn his
hand to something else, if he loses one
situation he can get another, If he loses
his last penny he can get along some
how, he can sleep on a park bench If
he has no roof to cover him. On the
other hand, a woman out of work finds
it hard to get other work and without
the protection of decent clothes and of
decent shelter she becomes an outcast,
a mark for outrage and insult. There
fore women are apt to hang on to
money.
Naturally, not being member of the
Ananias club, am not denying that
there are some women who are wildly
and fooIishly extravagant, and who do
ruin their husbands by their insane
waste of money. But before We judge
even these women it would be interest
ing to know how far they are respon-
Nble, and how much Of the fault is
their husbands.
There are men who encourage their
wives to bedeck themselves in fine rai-
ment and jewels, and to give entertain
mentS whose mad extravaganza gets
them into the papers, because all Of
this is an advertisement of the hus-
bands prosperity. Such a man, looking
at his wife trailing French CONNECTIONS
around smart restaurant and plas-
tered over with a quart of diamonds,
sees in her the visible embodiment of
hiS.success, and 1t is to please him and

Two centuries after this Aristotle dis

these comes the Psalter of 1857, the
first volume printed with a date. In
