stairs, took a last look at the draw

OF course, huddled in the kitchen,
we had heard little or nothing. But
we plainly heard Dal on the first floor
and Flanagan on the second yelling
''fire," and the patter Of feet as the
guards ran to the front of the house.
And at that instant we remembered
Aunt Selma!
That was the cause of the whole
trouble. don't know why they turned
on me; she wasn't my aunt. But by
the time they had got her out Of bed,
and had wrapped her in an eiderdown

II was all well enough for Jim TO

 New York, Dec. 15.-Denouncing the McNamara brothers as "deprav- ed criminals who have on their scar ed souls the murder of many inno- cent souls" Theodore Roosevelt, in an editorial entitled, Murder is murder" gives his views on the fa- nous dynamiting case in the current issue of the Outlook.
 Colonel Roosevelt decries any ex- pression of sympathy for the con fessed dynamiters because they thought they acted in what they re- garded as war on behalf of their class as a plea "monstrous in it's folly and wickedness."
 He says, in part:
 "Phe murders committed by the McNamaras, although nominally in the. interest of organized labor, diff fers not one whit in moral culpabil- ity from those committed by the Blackhand or by any band, of mere cutthroats and are fraught with an infinitely heavier menace to society Yet, great though the menace is to the community, the menace to the cause of honest, organized labor is still. greater"

THE PARK

WILLIAM FAvERSHAM TONIGHT
 William Faversham, who will pre- sent Edward knoblauch's comedy; '.The Faun" at the Park tonight, has proved. since becoming his own man. aeer. that he is not afraid of a dra- matic novelty. It is an axiom of the drama that the public is. slow to ac- cept anything in the theatre that de- parts from the conventions. But the truth of the matter is that while the old and tried win- do very we'll for a tmie. the playgoer finally grows weary and cries out for something new and novel.
 Mir. Knoblauch's comedy, "The Faun'' belongs to the latter category. for it is said to be one of the most unique and original plays that has ever been known to the stage of our time MT. Faversham's impersonation of q faun "is a wide departure from anything that this popular actor-or any other-has attempted in recent years. While a characterization new to the theatre, report credits him with an execution that is capital in it's imagination and effectiveness. "The Faun' is almost an anomoly among plays in that, while it keeps the audi tor in roafs of laughter throughout it's progress, it also causes him to think after he has left the playhouse The play is not of preachment,. yet | out by it's brilliant lines and divert ing situations
 MT Faversham's own highly suc- cessful efforts in this engaging play are supplemented by the clever work Of his company which includes, as it's principal player, Miss Julie Opp.
 The enormous success of moving pictures at the Park theatre the first three days of this week has prompt ed the management to bring here for the first time the life of the famous James Boys of Missouri to the Park tomorrow afternoon and night. The story is told in four reels but will be associated with several other comedy and instructive pictures.
 MT. Peter $. Clark's Runaway Girls Co. will be the attraction at the Park theatre where it comes for three days visit commencing Monday next with the usual daily matinees The Run away Girls from Dixie is the title of the extravaganza.
