OF the Week


The Travelling Salesman" by
James Forbes. author Of THE Choir
us Lady" will be the offering al
shelton theatre soon The story
OF Tho Travelling Salesman"
concerns Bob Blake. low
ial drummer. who is compelled to
spend his Christmas bay in a lonely
village of the middle west. and on
arrival finds in the presence OF
Beth Elliott the ticket agent al the
depot, r most oongenial person
They strike up an acquaintance
which soon ripens into affection.
and for the first time in his life, the
young, well-meant drummer discov-
ers that he is enthralled with the
sweetness and beauty OF charming
young lady Through her he learns
that she Is about to lose a tract OF
land, and he at once takes steps to
protect her rights. and thereby runs
counter to his employer. who has
laid plans to obtain what the girl
thinks is worthless piece of real
estate, but which suddenly has as
sumed considerable value, as II is
needed by the railroad company TO
complete some improvements they
have in view. Blake jeopardizes his
own position in espousing the rights
of the girl, and this leads TO man,
interesting complications. The com
cdy of the play is of the most de-
licious character, and never before
in the history of the stage has there
been a play which includes so many
laughs as does THE Travelling
Salesman" So well does it depict the
life of the drummer on the road
that 1t has won the endorsement of
the United Commercial Travellers of
America and the Travellers Protec-
tive Association. If the success at
tanned by this play in New York and
Chicago is any criterion, crowded
houses should await its advent in
this city.

NEWS OF DEATH

The report that J. R. Walker, a wealthy farmer of Casas Grandes, Mex icO was murdered at his ranch home in that locality sometime early in the month has reached Tempe. The fact that MT. Walker spent sometime in Tempe during the past summer pur- chasing saddle horses and other ma terial for use on the ranch makes the news of his death of exceptional in- terest to Tempe citizens. It seems that he ventured into the country in the hopes of securing a bunch of cat tie, it being his intention to drive them out of the danger zone. Evi- dently his plan fell through, for about the tenth of this month, his body was found suspended from a tree about two hundred yards from his home, almost riddled beyond recognition with twenty four bullet shots. Mex ican revolutiOnists are suspected of doing the dastardly deed.

CHRISTMAS DAY IN TEMPE

Peace on Earth and Good Will to all Men" was the prevailing spirit found in all Tempe citizens Christmas eve and during the course of the day, yesterday. Not so much as one oc- casiOn presented itself during those thirty-siX hours to mar the enjoyment and pleasure of the annual holiday Christmas eve the various Tempe churches claimed the larger share of the church going element of this city, and in many instances even others were induced to attend and be in fected with a@ touch of Christmas spirit. Special children's exercises were conducted at the Methodist Episcopal Congregational, Christian and St. Mary's church Tuesday night. At the three former places of wor- ship the time honored Christmas tree and even more time honOred Santa Claus were in evidence Yesterday there being no general public attrac- ton was spent at home by a greater portion of the Tempe populace Last evening the younger set of the town enjoyed a Christmas dance given in the Cosmopolitan hall.

A NEW MANSFIELD STORY.
Sheridan Block Relates a Tale of the
 Unreasonable Great Actor.

Sheridan Block is thoroughly inn mune to the slings and arrows oi outrageous fortune and there's a reason" for five years he was lead ing man for the late Richard Mans field, for whom, though unblinded to his shortcomings, he had the greatest admiration.
 Mansfield was peculiar, if we be- lieve half the things we have heard about him, but he was appreciative of favOrs, though he had a queer way of showing it.
 One had to be careful about helping him." MT. Block recalls. When I joined his company the stage manager told me to get up in Mansfield's lines so to be able to prompt him if he forgot. He did one night in Cyrano' and I gave him the word when he was floundering around He took it and went on. terrible scOIding. Never in his life had he been so insulted. Was I an actor? Did I know the ethics of the business that I mere support, should give the word to the star?
 'T said nothing, but waited. The very next night in the same play and almost the same scene he went up again. I stood still. He looked at me, but I said nothing. In some way he got through, and when he came off I got it again. Never had he been so insulted. One of his

CHRISTMAS DAY OBSERVED
 BY COAWC1S AT TEMPE
Made to Enjoy the Day as Others at
 Liberty Did, Suspension of work

Candy, nuts, oranges, apples cigars some of the luXuries which the con- viCts employed on the new state high way bridge being constructed across the Salt river at this place were per mitted to enjoy yesterday as their Christmas gift. It is barely possible that any convict being guarded by the state for committing some crime, enjoyed a better Christmas day yes terday, than did the siXty-seven men which are located in Tempe. A sus- pension of work of every variety was made Christmas eve and from then until this morning everything has borne the atmosphere of pleasure and rest in the local stOckade.
 Bright and early yesterday morn ing the thirty pounds of candy which was given to the local men by Ward en Sims of the State Pententiary at Florence as his Christmas gift to the unfortunates was issued, it being dis tributed equally to all.
 Later in the forenoon an exception ally good boxing match was witnessed between two men representing the contrasting American and Mexican races. Through the effective use of nerve and grit the former proved to be the better man.
 At noon the turkey dinner, annual since the stockade has been located in Tempe was set upon the table Eleven large fat turkeys had been prepared for the occasion which combined with the other attending dehcacies provided just as good a dinner if not better for the convicts as could have been found in many of the restaurants or private homes on yesterday.
 Last evening the remaining luXuries of cigars, nuts and fruit. were dis tributed. These were provided by the guards and other employees connected with the stockade and the work at the bridge.
 In providing for the unfortunate located in Tempe the local merchants contributed literally in making up the various packages containing the pre- viously mentioned delicacies. Last evening Teeter Bros, meat market with whom the stockada authorities do the bulk of their meat trading were making preparations to give the men a large beef which has been | hanging for the past few days on eX- hibition in the shop window.
 It was said by the various em- ployees connected with the stockade in any way, and who had occasion
 to witness the passing of the day at 1 that place, that without doubt nine tenths of the men spent a more en- | joyable Christmas day than they would, had they been at liberty.A

CHRISTMAS AT THE NORMAL

Living apparently in a community by themselves the remainder of the students at the normal celebrated the anniversary O. Christ's birth in just such way as a large settlement would be likely to do. Christmas eve a tree was in evidence at the young ladies' dormitory attended by a small Christmas program rendered by var iOus students of the school. Yester- day, those living in the dormitories were permitted to enjoy a Christmas turkey dinner. Under the circum- stances those in charge did every thing in their power to make things as pleasant as possible for the re- maining students who live so far from the institution that they were unable to spend Christmas with par ents or relatives.
