At the Opera House Monday

Along the kennebec, New England comedy with fine band, comes to the Flagstaff opera house next Monday evening January 30. The piece is now in its third suc- cessful season and has met with popular approval wherever pre- scented, and has been used as text by two ministers in their ser mons. The play is full of comedy hits, comedy that girl or woman can laugh at and not blush at the same time. The burlesque scene in the third act between Zeke Daiher and Bunlick Tubbs is said to be one scream from start to finish, and five other comedy characters keep the audience in a happy frame of mind.
 All special scenery is carried for the production and it is said to be strictly scenic production from the first act to the last.
 Some pleasing singing and char acter specialties are introduced during the action of the piece and Along the Kennebec" sends it's audience home feeling pleased and satisfied that "Along the Kenne- bee" has been in town. Band and street parade at noon.

CHAPTER |.

THE warden's Office In Sing Sing
prison Is not pleasant spot in
which to linger, whether you
may be innocent or whether
guilty Of crime. And no more reas-
suring could be termed the abrupt,
dominating parsonage who presided
over the dismal destlnles of the office
and institution when occurred the
events chronicled in this narrative.
That man fated by his choice of
occupation to daily associate intimate
ly with criminals of high and low de-
gree and to come constantly in per
sonal contact with all the misery and
depravity going to form the life of a
states prison-that a man so fated
should find exquisite enjoyment In ac-
centuating these depressing conditions
Is surely contradiction of what ordi-
narlly would be expected Humans Of
normal mold are generally occupied III
ameiorating the evils and annoyances
of their surroundings That Is natures
way. Not SO with Warden Handler.
That which Is bad can be made to be
worse. Innocence can be shown to be
guilt-with the aid Of trained wit
nesses, dependence Is always lnsin-
cere, and II 1t Is not II can be made
30, A murderer should be made to re-
member always his lgnominy. A thief
should be reminded OF his amateurlsh
clumsiness which led him into the
clutches Of the central office men,
That was Handlers philosophy. That
was Handlers way.
And underlying all his petty oppres.
sion and gross lnhumanity was a
cause. deep rooted In a system of his
own and Of race OF jail keepers that
went before him. Exposure? Re
movnl? Bah, He had considered all
that, And, II worse came to worse,
had he not friends in the state senate?
Was there not governor who would
need his assistance In the state con.
ventIon when 1t came to a question of
delegates? Clearly the possibility OF
removal was the least OF his worries.
Warden Handler sat at his polished
oak desk in the middle OF his office.
AT his left was another desk used by
Smith. his secretary At his back the
