POLES

The Three Twins opened most aus piciously at PolFs this week and is proving one of the greatest successes of any stock play that has ever been produced in this city and is estA blish- ing every player more strongly in the public's good graces than anything before attempted. The Three Twins is a rollicking good farce, even with out the music and with the tuneful music of Karl Hoschna, who was also responsible for the music of Madame Sherry, added it is doubly interesting. Mr. Melrose and Miss Starr are both showing true ability in the handling of musical numbers entrusted to them and Miss Cliffes hypnotic waltz is d delight to watch. Such grace and poetry of motion is seldom expected, except in a musical comedy star. MT. -Poli has spared no expense to make this one of the banner attractions of the season and besides securing, ali the original scenery and electrical eff fects, he has also brought on a chorus of twenty sprightly, comedy young girls who have been playing together all season, and who are. recruited from the original New York Com pany. The story of the Three Twins is built on the old story I.'Incog," whose broad humor has convulsed audiences in all parts of the civilized globe. .s

WHO WOULDN'T BE TEACHER7
Here ls a Schedule Of Her Daily Tasks,
With an Estimate Of
Her Pay.

A school teacher is a person who
teaches things to people when they
are young.
The teacher comes to school at $3.50
O'Clock. and when she has gotten
enough children for mess In her
room, she teaches them reading. writ
ing. geography. grammar. arithmetic,
music. drawing, cooking. board saw
ing. crocheting. deep breathing. bird
calls. scientific eating. patriotism,
plain and fancy bathing. forestry. CIV
les and other scienVs too numerous
TO mention. When school is out she
stays behind with five or six OF her
worst scholars and tries TO save the
state job Of reforming them later
on. After that she hurrles home to
make herself new dress and snatch
a hasty supper before going back TO
attend a lecture by an imported spe-
cialist on the history of tribal law In
Patagonia. which the superintendent
thinks may give her some information
which may be useful In her school
work some day. A great many lee
turers roam the country preying on
school teachers and some OF them are
very cruel. talking to them so long
that the poor things have 10 sit up
til morning. when they get home. TO
get their daily test papers corrected.
School teachers salaries range from
$50 month up-but not far enough
up TO make them dizzy. On her salary
the teacher must dress nicely, buy her.
self things for her work which the
city is too poor TO get. go to twenty
nine lectures and concerts year, buy
helpful books on pedagogy. pay her
way TO district. county and state in
stitutes. and enjoy herself during a
three months vacation which her SAL
airy takes every year. In addition the
teacher is supposed 10 hoard away
vast sums of money. so that when she
becomes too nervous and cross to
teach. at the age OF fifty or there
abouts. she can retire and live happily
ever after on her income.-Philadel

Considering the fact that these writ

er of any prominence has ever been
able to escape borrowing from the
Bible. The reading of II has affected
the style of writers like Ruskin and
Browning and Milton. Gladstone re-

Charles Fox said more than once that
he owed to the perusal OF the Bible
his vocabulary. The variety OF ex.

In large part to the fact that all OF

Remember this about Fels-Naptha
Soap: It's not only distinct from other
soaps in name but different in action.
Most soaps have the distinction with
out the difference
But Fels-Naptha is different in this
it's totally new way of washing.
Fels-Naptha is the only soap that will
satisfactorily wash clothes in cool or luke
warm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing
That's the difference.
No boiling scalding clothes to
weaken them, no back-breaking rubbing
over nauseous hot suds
Washing done in one-half the time
with one-fourth the labor; clothes last
longer and are cleaner and sweeter than any
other method of washing will make them.
