exist is not known. Mr.. Mason, bust

Joseph Manning, who took the title
role, met with instant favor with the
audience and he put the character
through it's theatric PAGES with verve.
He was not so convincing as a lover
as he was in his aspect of the clever
and INSCRIPTIONS adventurer, and the
chief criticism to be passed upon his
presentation was his intimacy with
the audience.
This is common fault with actors
and the wonder is why they do it.
Manning was constantly taking the All.
dience into his confidence. His robust.
ness nullified this to a certain extent
but it Is the thing that often entirely
spoils an effect.

DON'T BE THIN
No Need of Being Scrawny, Weak,
and Emaciated.

In these days of physical culture
and health foods, one would hardly
expect to see any thin. weak, enact
ated people, but in spite of all this,
nearly every person you meet is thin
and scrawny.
Good healthy flesh can only be
gained by the use of the proper food
with thorough assimilation of the fat
giving elements. Nine people out of
ten in order to weigh as much as they
ought and be perfectly healthy. should
use Samose. the great f1esh-forming
food. Weigh yourself before COM
mencing to use these little tablets,
and see how your weight increases.
Samose has valuable hesh-forming g
and tissue building properties, and
when II is assimilated with the food
1t causes the flesh-making elements to
be retained and the weight is natur-
ally increased.
James ODonnell, the popular drug
gist, has sold in the last few weeks a
great many packages of Samose, every
one with his personal guarantee to
refund the money II 1t did not give
satisfaction and has had but one per-
son to ask for the money back. Just
think of IL: only one who used Samose
found that II failed to give satisfac-
tory increase in flesh and plumpness
You run no risk whatever in buying
Samose. II you are not perfectly sat
isfied with the results James O'Don-
nell will return your money.

PROPENSITY OF CRIMINALS
TO CONVICT THEMSELVES

Why do people engaged in criminal
operations keep a documentary record
of their crimes?
The question was asked, or rather
suggested, by United States District
Attorney h. w Breckons this morn
ing in connection with the case of Lee
Wa Chung, the Chinese arrested last
Thursday on a charge of smuggling
opium.
1T is a curious fact" commented
Mr.. Breckons, that almost all per.
sons engaged in smuggling or similar
lines of criminal operation almost al
ways keep written proof of their guilt.
They keep set OF books for IN
stance, slightly disguised but always
intelligible to a man of common sense,
that set forth in detail what they
have been doing. Or they write let.
ters or keep those they receive Al
most always they make some sucn
slip by which it is fairly easy to trace
their movements and determine with
fair degree of accuracy just what
they have been doing. 1t would be Il
pretty difficult matter to obtain con
yictions in the majority of cases if f.
were not for this mental weakness on
the part of violators of the law.
If it were not for my official posi-
ton ! could tell some things that
would create sensation in this com
munity, things in some cases that
place some prominent citizens in a
mighty bad light But, of course, I
never use for private purposes any.
