on yonder hill is not as tempting as
the straw in the chicken coop was
what horse thought belonging to
Jim Legerwood which entered q
chicken house in the pasture, max

for day and a night. The door
blew shut and confined the animal
with the fowls.
Ray Bobb, deputy county asses

town and during the night the horse
wandered into the chicken house.
Robb thought that the animal had
been stolen and telephoned to the

Legerwood's horse. All day Satur-

the missing horse. Yesterday morn
ing he went out to let the chickens
in the yard. When he opened the
door tho horse came walking out
with the whole flock of chickens
perched upon his back.

Crowell as the professors wife Is a
termagant who rules the little house,
hold with an iron hand. Her will Is law
and when any of the characters attempt
to rise above her they suffer from her
bitter tongue. The part Is very difficult
and one that might easily be overdone,
but Mrs. Crowel manifested an intel
ligent conception of the part and gave
excellent satisfaction. The work of Miss
Mary F. Cox was especially commend
able. Her sly filrtations with the trav-
cling player, Chumley, offered many OPP
portunities to demonstrate her ability as
an actress and she met them with great
credit. Mrs G.. B. Hunter, madly anx-
ious to find out her husbands past
greatly pleased the audience. She had a
charming stage manner and throughout
the play maintained a high quality of
acting.
Miss Daisy Wells appeared In the role
of an Irish servant girl and by her
good -natured manner and attention to
the details of her part won her way in
to the hearts of the audience. The part
could very easily have been spoiled by
a show of buffoonery, but Miss Wells
Is too good an actress to do that. She
was satisfactory in every way and at
times very amusing Mrs. Alice Croll
Coolidge was seen in the second act,
being on the stage only a moment. In
her short appearance, however, she
made the audience wish that her part
was more prominent. Her ability has
been we'll recognized in previous pro-
auctions.
