New York. Sept 7-Thick and fast
+ have come the theatrical offerings this
week. Up and down its meandering
course. Broadway's nightly glow is re.
enforced by millions of shining electrics
that proclaim the advent Of new shows
and the resurrection of old stars.
More than a casual interest has been
displayed in New York's theatrical chart,
the opening of the Hippodrome, the ad.

Charles Klein. whose stagecraft has
won him a million-dollar summer home
at Rotton Point, Conn, and staged at
the Lyric Theater. this play embodies
all that makes for a winter success

dramatic offering of the Poll Players
next week THE Thief" is the play which
made Margaret Ellington a star, and
which was presented for two seasons In
New York City. with Miss Ellington and
Kyrle Bellew in the leading roles.
The play tells the story of a woman's
love for feminine fnery. and Of her eff
forts to hold the love and admiration of
her husband at every cost. She steals in
order to buy costly materials to adorn
her person, and when she sees that
she is about to be discovered she per-
suades an infatuated youth to shoulder
the blame in order to shield her The
husband discovers the secret IN an IN,
tensely emotional scene, In which the
wife is. forced to confess everything But
the play has a logically happy ending.
1t Is expected that In the equally i'm
portant roles of the wife and the hus-
band. A. H Van Buren, and Miss Jewel
will have unexcelied emotional opportu-
mites.
The play has been pronounced by crit
les all over America and Europe as alb

struction. The elements Of interest and

tive. while the love appeal 10 thoroughly

where for . long time II was the domlnat-
ing thing on the Bowery. BY some
| freak Of fortune the dance was intro
duced into the most exclusive circles
Of New York and obtained much
notoriefy In the newspapers. I believe
now that popular opinion has put II
under the ban.
It would be wise to state that the turkey
trot as performed by the Muruts differs
slightly from the American version Of
u. The natives form themselves IN line
and then form circle about the God of

continues for twenty-four hours at a
time the Rain God is particularly obst-
nate in answering their suppiications-
My friend who was with me the night I
witnessed It says he has known them to
continue II for three days at a time
without once stopping TO eat or drink.
So great Is their religious reverence
for the dance that they will not permit
II to be performed except on the most
solemn occasions. such as the one have
just mentioned. A short while ago

with the idea that the dance IL a source
OF immortality among the Muruts. be-
cause they perform almost naked. This
is certainly a mistake. The Muruts are
among the most moral people IN the
world. They hold this dance IN the deep
est reverence. Every idea Of licentious-
ness or immortality Is entirely ASSOCIATED
with II. They go through all its evolu-
tons with the deepest sense of piety.

SECURING EGGS IN WINTER
Farmer Has. Discovered That 10
Profitable to Have commodIous
and Comfortable Houses.

The farmer has become wise to the
tact that II is possible to have winter
eggs. which no longer Is an Idle dream.
rs was the belief in the days of our
f%orefathers. The farmer, too, has dis
covered that II is economy to have
commodious. comfortable winter
houses, and that for SUGGEST there
must not be q single mongrel per-
mitted on the place. lie has even
gone n step farther, and invested in
~incubators and brooders that he may
devote q part Of the winter months
to profit instead Of comparative idle
ness.
In short. he has in operation a COM
plete poultry plant. and II has proved
to be the best crop on the farm, That
is the revelation OF today, and the
farmer makes the most Of II for the
reason that he has the proper facili-
ties.
The purebreeds OF the present day
are so superior In utility that one sell
dom across a flock OF cross
breeds. and the n that keeps mon.
grels is not OF the class that Ia max
ing a success.
The fanciers OF today deserve the
credit for this change. II was duo to
their skill that health. r%uggedness and
practical qualifications became a part
OF the makeup OF their breeds.
SO sharp has become competition In
this line that the breeders OF differ
ent varieties are working for egg rec.
ords and meat supplies In preference
TO show requirements. Even the Amer
lean Standard OF Perfection has modi.
fed the laws Of breeding 10 that utili-
~ Will not be sacrificed. Truly we
have entered m era when poultry be-
comes the food fowl instead OF the
show bird.
II has been proved that. properly
bred. pure bloods are more prolifi
layers. give q more uniform size and
color to the eggs. and the young stock
mature more uniformly and give bet
ter carcasses. and utilize the food con.
sumed to better advantage. than Ia the
case with either crossbreds or mon
