But when he smiled l knew that he is
all sorts of good fellow and that he

nearly drive me wild. Why, in Okla

taken from the house.
There were several in the theater,
but these two were raising-er-Cain!
One was in the balcony and the other
was in the parquet and they were
talking to each other. Just as / came
to a tender, melting part, the one in
the balcony said:
"'Wahl'

older child. l paused and started

that? the other wanted to know. 1t Is
unnecessary to add that my tender,
melting part fell fiat as a pancake.
When the curtain went down on
that act / called the manager OF the
house and told him that if those chill
dren were there during the next act
would ring the curtain down. SO he
had them taken away.
1T seems too bad that mothers with
children whom they cannot leave at
home, must forego enjoying the the

there should be nurseries run In con-

Of the neighborhood theaters do have

he was terribly interested.
When / asked him how his family
liked his going on the stage he laugh

MY father before he died, was al
ways much interested IN my plays and
often went to the theater with me to
see them acted. But l have brother,
pastor of a church in this city, who Is
convinced that / am on the broad and
fowery road to destruction. He thinks
that the theater and all that pertains
to it is of the devil, and you couldn't
drag him into a playhouse. That Is,
unless he went there to preach"
Didn't he ever go to play?" l ask

Never in his life" he said.
Then how does he know what he's
talking about?" l wanted to know.
He doesn't" Mr.. Dixon laughed

don't you, that really the drama
reaches more people and does more
good than any preaching possibly

CHICAGO, Jan. ALI the Mid
die West is in the grip of a blizzard,
and already reports are coming in of
suffering and loss Of life all along a
score of lines. The wires are down
in number Of directions, and the
news is being brought from districts
out CT touch with the railroads by
carrier and telephone.
The terrific storm swooped down
out Of the Northwest today and by
last night traffic was demoralized and
on number of branch lines is Alto
gether suspended From Minnesota
and the pakotas come stories of
trains stalled, and rescue crews have
been sent out to clear the tracks
enough to bring them in
Short of Necessities.
Shortage of provisions and fuel on
trains showed up and in a number
of towns, is reported, and as soon as
possible relief trains will be sent
cut loaded with coal and provisions.
The heavy snow which accompa-
MES the blizzard makes the work of
rescue in many instances dangerous
to the rescuers, and in some cases it
is possible that the relief crews will,
in their turn, have to be rescued.
Mountain SGowslides.
From the mountain districts are re-
ports CT a number of snowslides, but
no repetition Of the Washington cat
of last winter, when a train
was dashed over a precipice, is re-
ported.
Chicago itself is in bad shape, the
heavy snowfall blocking street traf-
flc breaking wires and interfering
with business. All trains arriving
from the West are late, and at this
time there is apparently no relief in
sight.

much depends upon the care exer-

for much Improvement. The chief
points, for success in the dairy
business are, a dairyman with
brains. tact, fitness and ability to
do dairy work Profitable dairy
cows must be selected and they
must be fed and cared for prop

COW and advised the farmers to
cooperate in shipping in car loads
of dairy cattle. In this way the
cost of transportation will be re-
duced from SIS to SIS on each
animal. II believe that for the
next 80 years the young men who
select dairying. as their business
are assured of nice profit be-
cause of the great demand for
dairy stock and the increased con-
sumption of dairy products.
