At the Grand

Three large audiences Xmas saw
the Austin Musical Comedy company
present THE New Judge" comedy
full of continual laughs. The differ
ent performers in this bill play their
parts to perfection and we could give
each a personal writeup. 1t is
enough to say that the cast cannot be
improved upon and the management
can be congratulated on selecting as
high class a company as now repre-
sents the Grand. A number of catchy
song and dance numbers are put over
which draw big encores. Sunday
n ght after the last snow, the COM
pany and the comrades of Malaban
Camp No. 6, Veterans of the Spanish
American war, presented the manag-
er, Mr.. Bert Longenecker with a
beautiful souvenir Malabon blanket
and congregational badge. The cur
tain rose, showing the blanket and
the stars and stripes above it. 1t
was almost a silent presentation as all
present were deeply touched and
could not say a word if they wanted.
Mr.. Longenecker was greatly surpris-
ed and responded briefly thanking
all. A touching scene was when "Old
Dad Taylor" a veteran of the civil
war and Mr.. Longenecker, veteran of
the Spanish American war, crossed
hands in front of the Malabon en-
blem with the stars and stripes above
them.
Malabon camp expects to put on a
special entertainment at the Grand
theater January 13, IA and Is. The
Austin company is now preparing a
war drama for these dates. After
each show slides and special films
will be shown, showing our local boys
at different places from the time
they embarked for the islands until
they returned. Nothing has been
spared to make this a success. On
account Of the holidays a special mat
inee will be run for ladies and chill.
dren Wednesday afternoon Thurs
day night the company will present
one of the best comedy dramas ever
seen in Pendleton, "The Good ShiI
Nancy Lee"

Says Soul Not Immortal.

Philadelphia.-"There is no life in
a different form after death; the in
dividual soul is no more immortal
than the individual body. There are
the striking assertions of Professor
Wax verworn Of the University of
Bonn, Germany. made at the medical
school of the University Of Pennsy'-
vania.
"AAt all times" he said, "and in all
places life and death go hand IN
hand. What, then, is immortal life?
At most there is only a continuity OF
living substance. But this also has
a beginning and an end. Dust thou
are and until thou shalt return This
IL true of all living substance from
the one -celled amoeba to the mos
gifted man. And our individual sou
is no more immortal than our indi'
vidual body.
