seem to prevent the rushing of the
staple to port for export, judging from
the receipts of cotton at Savannah
this season. A year ago Savannah

the season of 1909-10. There had
been recorded the receipt Of 10000

words:
"Ye gods! Daphne Daffington!"
She looked him over coolly, and
said:
"You!"
He nodded his head weakly. Things
had been piling themselves up too rap
idly for him to be able to face the
situation with any assurance what
ever.
"After all these years!" she e1-

"Shabbily?" she shifted. You only

Daphne stopped him with a steely
glance, and demanded:
Where's that hat sent here?
Harry stared at her for the moment
with utter blankness. Then 1t slowly
filtered through his brain that she was
the milliner to whom Mrs. Blazes
had telephoned. Daphne misinter-

the best drawing cards of that associa-
ton and the large auditorium is al
ways packed when this popular COM
pany is on the program. The Chautau-
qua audiences are always appreciative
and the actors are always better able to
do their best with such appreciation.
In the city the people have grown to
expect the local company to do better
than the professionals who make this
section Of the country and unless they
do as well or better, their efforts excite
but little comment. Realizing this the
O'Callaghans work hard and faithful
~ and claim that they are the best
known amateur organization in the
northwest. At present ther are num-
Der of people in the company who could
do well with good professional COM
panies.
During the twelve years of their
existence the local organization have
with their plays made thousands of
dollars for worthy benefits.
AS The World remarked after the
recent performance of "Nirvana," by
the 'Calaghans, the people of Devils
Lake do not always show that they ap.
preciate the efforts of their theatrical
organization to please. Ordinarily the
company is greeted by large houses
but the attendance at "Nirvana' was
disappointing. Nearly any ordinary
play that comes to the local opera
house draws 500 or more people, and
the class of the plays and of the actors
of some Of the companies is far below
that Of the O'Calaghans.

The production of this play will long
De remembered by everyone who saw
it on account of the cloudburst which
visited Chautauqua on this night, dur
ing the performance. The Cbautauqua
railway track was washed out and most
of the people had to walk home. Many
of them slept in the auditorium. Fred
J. Traynor slept on tho scenery on the
stage and thus ended his career as an
actor. The play was really, presented
very well, but most Of the audience
could not hear many Of the lines. The
Sheldon Progress, whose e,litor was
attending the newspaper mems conven-
ton at Chautauaua had this to say:
"For several years past Devils Lake
has had an organization unique in this
part of the world, troupe of amateur
actors, who at intervals stage some of
the popular plays. They are known as
"The O'Callaghans and this year the
visiting newspaper people had the pleas
