the male sex and all things mascul- inc Dolly has been secretly mar ried and her attempts to hide the fact causes a train of amusing incl dents that furnish unlimited material for continuous laughter
 During the action of the play Dolly puts on mans attire in order to visit her husband at his bachelor apart ments, but is seen by an officious po- liceman and a gambler who with the janitor and his slavey" daughter, complicate matters still further and the unravelling of the difficulty pre- sents many ludicrous situations.
 The play is furnished principally for laughing purposes and is said to be an admirable vehicle for the dis play of Miss Della Fox's versatile talents. The supporting company is one of excellence and the scenes, electrical effects and costuming pro- mise a production, pleasing and high ly interesting Curtain at 8:15.

IS GREAT ANIMAL
 IMPERSONATOR
&Tige" in Buster Browns Show Ways His Tail, Licks His Chops and Plays ''Dog'' to
 Perfection.

With the Buster Brown" company which comes to the Elks theater on Thursday, March g, with special matinee at p. m, we are promised among other improvements in the cast, the best animal impersonater who has ever essayed to play the difficult part of "Tige,' Busters faithful canine companion. The ad- vance representatives while mention ing the many improvements in the cast this season said Alfred Brady, . man who has made himself fam ous playing dog. is playing the part o6 "Tige."
 Buster Brown" with Tige, would be like home without mother. MT. Grady certainly knows dogs. His re- construction of Tige's Quizzical couutenance is a masterpiece in paint, papier-mache and canvas. Fer ,ocity, amiability( curiosity; even that peculiarly subtle and illusive "doggish" emotion called humor is fitted clearly and easily across his canine mask. He wags his tail, licks his chops, tracks footprints with 8 tremendous energy, worries the tramp's boots, and just plays dog
 There are great many people in the audience who wait to see him assume his expression of pleasant preoccupation which is peculiar tc the dog, when he stretches out his neck, crooks his hind leg or left ear.

The U. s. Government in it's "Pure Food Law" does not "fndorse' or guarantee" any preparation, as some manufacturers in their advertisements would make it appear.

Ely's Cream Balm, the we'll known family remedy flor cold in the head, hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain single in- furious drug. so the makers have sim- lily to print the fact that it complies fully with all the requirements of the law.

sQuicksani.


Quicksand differs from beach and
other sand IN that the Individual
grains have become worn by water
or wind until the normal facets and
angles have been abraded and each
grain has become more or less spher-
ical. The coeficient Of friction is thus
reduced to the minimum and the bed
does not pack when dry and when wet
behaves like q fluid. The depth of
quicksand is condi toned by the depth
Of the hardpan or other compact ma
terial upon which the sand rests. In
building operations on the lower end
Of Manhattan island quicksands are
encountered more than 100 feet in
depth. Near Pueblo, Colo, in 1875, a
train was drawn BY a derailed loco
motive into a quicksand and was swa1-
lowed up beyond discovery, although
probed for to a depth Of fifty feet.
In certain smaller littoral quicksand J.
bodies which have been engulfed are
In time brought to the surface at the
edge Of the shivering sands. This is
due to the structure Of the containing
bowl Of rock which permits a sluggish
circulatory movement Of the plastic
mass.

Rulers of ENGLAND.

The first to rule over all England was
Egbert, king of Wessex, who united
all the various petty Kingdoms and be-
came king of England in 827. The
greater kingdom was disrupted from
S78 to 958, when the Danes ruled north
Of the Thames. In the latter year King
Edgar reunited the kingdom, and since
that time it has never been partitloned,
Between Edmund Ironside Q0l0 and
Edward the .Confessor (1042) three
Danish kings ruled all England-Ca-
mute, Harold l. and Hardicanute. The
first king of Great Britain was James
1. Q6O3). The first king Of the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland
was George III. From the conquest Of
Ireland in 1172 by Henry III. the kings
of England were styled Lord of Ireland
until the assumption of the title king
Of Ireland by Henry Will, and there
after this title was used until the act
