Within Two Hours After
wards Company Well Es-
tablished for Visit.

"Ben-Hur," accompanied by his
mother, his sister Tirzah and his
sweetheart Esther, as well as a large
sala, his enemy, and his followers,
were all landed safely from their spe-
cial train at the Union depot at IL
o'clock noon. The makeup of the spe-
cial train. which brought the company
from Logansport, included ten bag
gage cars, two cars of horses and
camels, six Pullman sleepers. four day
coaches, one smoking car and two din
ing cars.
The company lost no time on arri-
val in canyassing the various hotels to
secure satisfactory lodging during
their stay in the city. A stage staff
of nearly one hundred men were divid-
ed between the baggage cars at the
depot and the stage in unloading. haul

ton in the theater. 1t was sight to
behold the manner in which every
thing moved. Every available en-
trance to the Gennett was seized by
the stage hands to get the effects into

the most remarkable handling of seem
ic. paraphernalia that ever took place
in this city. Quietness and dispatch
marked the whole scene. for the sim
pie reason that the "Ben-Hur" organ
ization is the best handled company
that tours America. 1t is divided into
departments, each with a superior Of
ficer, who is answerable to Mr. Char
les F. Towle the manager, for what he
superintends.
An interesting sight was promised
by Davis Towle, representative of the
company, IL visit ito the depot was
made when the company arrived, and
then to return to the theater, and
watch the adjustment of effects. Fill
ed with curiosity the writer was in
waiting at the Union depot when the
special carrying the company, pulled
in from Logansport. To say that the
depot presented an exciting scene
would only mildly express 1t. For a
few secvonds a rush, that would make
a Yale-Harvard football game look
tame, took place. Each member SEEM
ed bent on making quitck time to ho-
tel, in order to secure proper accom-
modations. The special carrying the
company had hardly been switched out
of the way, when the one carrying the
stage Equipment arrived. The working
force of the organization, numbering
80 odd, aided by about SO local stage
hands. amptied the cars SO rapidly
and piled wagons mountain high with
scenery, that on-lookers looked on
with wonder and amazement. Reach

Hunger reused everybody early the
next morning. Friday. Leila Mercer
had discovered a box OF bonbons that
she had forgotten, and we divided
them around. Aunt Selma asked for
the candled fruit and got it--Quite q

Mr.. HARRISON, will you-can you

was strained. almost reedy. and her
lips were white.
Mr. HARRISON stared up at her, with
the telephone box In his hands.
"Why-er-certainly. he said. but
unless It's very important, I'd like to
nix this talking machine. We want to
make food record"
I'D like TO break a food record"
Max put In. but Bella created d.

the stair just above us, and burying
her face in her handkerchief.
