THE ANNUAL SCARE.

It's just about the time of year for
the pessimist to begin his annual
crouch about the failure of the fruit
crop. With the fruit trees heavily
laden with spurs and the most fav-
orable outlook we ever had there
are those that will dismally groan an
foretell absolute destruction by the
late spring frosts. The trees never
wintered better than the past season
and despite the prophesy of the pes
simist the Payette Valley will roll
up the biggest fruit crop in it's
history this year and with the gen.
eral outlook in the middle west for
fruit this year, the grower should
receive a good price for all his fan
cy fruit.

Charles Kingsley was at a dinner

shortly after Coxwell and Il companion
had made a fight in which they had
risen so high that CoxwelPs hands
were frozen and he had time only TO

ATTRACTIONS
 1.-THE THEATRES
POLI'S THEATRE

With Sidney Grundy's absorbingly interesting drama. Sowing the Wind as the vehicle the Poi stock company is scoring another well defined hit this week. and several of the principals of the company are doing what is gen. orally conceded to be their best work this season. The management made a happy selection in choosing the play inasnuch as it is recognized as one of the great dramas Of the decade and it also affords an excellent opening ing woman. Miss Clifton has become an immediate favorite with the Poli clientele, her splendid acting abilities coupled with her charm of grace and netism winning for her the enthusi- astic appreciation of her audiences.
 The play Is forcefu1 in theme and treatment and picturesque in atnaos- phere. The scenes are laid in Eng land a century ago and the quaint costumes and manners of the charac- the modern plays which have been the rule at the popular playhouse for seF- eral weeks. As Thomas Brabazon, the English gentleman who finds his younger days he deceived and desert ed, A. H. Van Beuren is demonstrat- ing his talent for character acting as well juvenile parts. and the lead ing mans work is fau1t1esS.
 MT. Kent has another eccentric char acter role in Robert Watkin, crusty bachelor friend of BrabaZon's and as usual his conception of the character is work of art. Miss Starr, Miss Pringle, MT. Wil1farus, MT. Fox, MT. Fischer, Miss Bernard and others who have grown so popular during the past few months all have good acting parts. The play is handsomely stag ed and every attention has been given to detail in the production sowing will appeal strongly to every lover of the thea tre.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
Don't Try to Be Too "Smart"-A Favorite Word for Freak Man neEs-and Dress-Study In-
 dfviduaIity, Not Ec-
 centrfcity
ceDtrici

Do you remember how we used to qualify a disagreeably bright child as together in the childhood games Of m emory?
 Just so it appears to me that the adjective smart has by evolution come to be applied to an overzealous fashion type. You go to buy a hat. and something absolutely absurd in its freaked ''out of the ordinariness" is brought out and commended to your favorable attentions by being dubbed smart
 If you wish to describe a circle of entertaining, fads, fancies, etc, you speak of it as "The Smart Set" Anything crazy or unusual indulged in by it is condoned because it is smart Some people even go so far as to dub gowns "cIever." This be- ing the synonym of smart. Certainly nothing sounds more fdiotic than the description of a coat or costume as clever It is a complete misuse of the word. Smart, equally so in it's | real meaning, is. similarly excused by | usage.
 The "smartness" iIluded to, is, how ever, very apt to cross the line and get into the realm of freakishness. woman, longing to be considered smart. buys unbecorning clothes be- cause they are not what every one elss Is wearing.
 I heartily approve of Individuality But individuality to excess, lacking the qualities of good taste and becou- ingness. is as much a breach Of eti- Quette as loud laughter. You may attract attention, but 1t Is not always of the kind that woman should seek. To study a distinctive style ts com mendable. It will make even a plain woman more attractive than tho pretty one who wears just the ordin- ary things that any one can buy or make. A study of ones own style in dress, in speech, in manner is worth while. But ''sTnartness" as repre- sented by an extreme aecentuation of anything proclaims a desire to attract undue attention, which in Itself is breach of good form.

DECISION MAY,
 HIT NEW HAVEN
BRANDEIS SAYS HARTMAN AfER. GER RULING APPLIES EXACT LY TO BOSTON & MAINE
 DEAL

Boston, Dec 4ENowhere in the united States has the decision of the supreme 9I court, upsetting the Harri- man man merger, aroused more interest than in New England, for it applies exactly to the merger of the New Ha- ven and Boston and Maine roads, which Massachusetts, has been trying Tor years to have abolished. Concern Ing this application of the decision to New England, Louis D. Brandeis, lead Charles $. Mellen says: ---e
 The decision of the United States supreme court, declaring invalid the Energer of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, is of particular in terest to New England at this time. It will be remembered that President Roosevelt in 1908 caused proceedings to be instituted to dissolve the New Haven and Boston & Maine merger on grounds similar to those on which the proceedings against the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were based.t Early in the Taft administration, Attbrney- General WiekeTzham sia1a r., disisse3 the Boston and Maine, and President Taft, in a letter to MT. Norman H. White, recently. published, explained the dis the decision of the lower court in the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific case, a Justification for the course pur- sued.
 The reversal Monday by the su- prene court of the action of the lower court will undoubtedly lead Attorney
 
 ation of the New England situation, which has been generally regarded as being in all respects similar t4 that on the Pacific coast
 "One of the reasons urged for a dis missa1 by the Taft administration of the proceedings commenced against the New Haven and Boston & Maine by President Roosevelt was that there was no substantial competition be- tween the two systems, and that they really supplemented one. another. This contention was based upon a misap- prehension in fact. There we're, of course, large parts of the system of each not competitive locally with the other, but on a large part Of the in teretate traffic of the New York, New and Maine. particularly that traffic with the great cities of the middle west, there was thorough-gofng Gpmpe- tition. The supreme court has now held, in the Union Pacific case, that similar competition. comprising but a relatively small part of the total bus mess of the two lines, is sufficient to form the basis for proceedings for dis solution under the Sherman antitrust law.
 Attorney General Wickersham of the proceedings commenced by his pre- decessorss the monopolistic position of the New Haven was further strength ened by it's partnership agreement with the Boston and Albany railroad, in the New Haven has wa half interest The Boston and Albany had thereto fore been competitive line with the Fftchburg div ision of the. Boston and Maine. Indeed, the ~Hoosac tunnel was constructed at the expense of the state for the express purpose of pro- viding such competition with the Bos- ton and Albany"

LYRIC THEATRE

As the attraction extraordinary for next week, Karkunoff & Schrock, Miss Ernest Denny's sparkling comedy. All of Sudden Peggy the play in which Henrietta Crosman was seen for several seasons with tremendous success. This wonderfully clever play can best be compared to The Mar r1age of Kitty in which Miss CleVe- land made her greatest hit last season It is a charming English comedy, in three acts, and tells one of the most delightful stories heard on the stage in a long time.
 @All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" is given in response to extensive requests by the patrons of the Lyric theatre, over seven hundred letters having been re- ceived by the management naming this play as the first preference. They are desirous of keeping their promise to give the plays most desired by their friends, and their selection of this play is in answer to that demand. It is a most excellent plan, as it will bring to this city even a stronger and more popular line of plays than have yet been given, and the e. terprise of the nanageme ent is open to universal commendation. In this play, the pa irons of the Lyric theatre will wit ness a play which has been one of the reigning successes of the stage for several seasons, and which will be es- pecially welcome because 1t will pre- sent Miss Cleveland and her company in play which will not only be de- cided dram atic success, but which will give her that very atmosphere which her ability most demands.
 An especially handsome and effec- tive stage production will be made of this play, and the Eleanor Cleveland company will surely attract the thea tregoers of the city in great numbers during the week to come. Seats are now on sale for 'Al1-of-a-Sudden Peg gy.'' and with the mere announcement it is anticipated that the demand will be far above the ordinary.
