They are to build good roads through the

the estate. In their spare time they may
even become sportsmen. for there are
good trout streams running through the
property.
This plan has been tried elsewhere,
though We doubt If anything on quite SO

that where it has been tried it has proved
successful. The authorities have found
that 1t is not necessary to maintain a

The Rosary

"Better than a sermon" is the com
ment of the theatre-gowers who have
attended the performances of Rosary
during it's three months engagement
in Chicago and its two months run in
New York City, to see this wonderful
play. 1t treats great and powerful
subject graphically and in such a way
as to grip the atteltion every minute
of the performance.
The play is built upon thoroughly
modern theme, viz: the inf1uene of
thought npon the lives and we'll being
of the men and woman of our present
day.
Mingled with the darker colors OF
human tragedy is vein of natural
comedy evolved from the events which
occur during the action.
The stage settings are unique in
their way; first act occnrs in a wonder
fully beautiful grape arbor, the second
and third acts are laid in a charming
interior, showing the atmosphere of Sc
rene home life, while the fourth is q
new church built by the unbelieving
husband for his friend, the priest.
After all the discussion of the play
during four acts, a wonderful effect is
obtained by the serene quiet of the
church, where the man and woman
who have suffered come at last to lay
their burden down and find peace.
