PLAY A GREAT SUCCESS
Louisiana Lou" Scored a Big
Triumph at Charleston.

Louisiana Lou" one of the
cleverest comic operas ever put
together in this country, was pre-
sented at the Academy last night to
an audience that encored almost
everything that happened. No 'ex-
tended review of the play is pos
sible. 1t may be sufficient to say
that sit has everything" The
music is swaying, the girls are
pretty, the principals show to splen-
did advantage, the scenes are ac-
curate and beautiful, the dances
are appealing, the costumlng Is
rich and artistic, the humor is in
fictitious and the situations are true.
Comic operas of this type can
never fail to win enthusiastic ap-
plause. II Louisiana Lou" does
not play to packed houses all
along the line it will be because
the people have no warning OF bow
good it is. The best thing that
ever came out of Chicago.

He turned suddenly and none pre-

ran to the outer door; as he did so
his hand snatched something that lay
on the chest of drawers. There was
a fash of light as he drew in his arm
but none saw what it was. In few
seconds he was outside the door. The
table was between old Kirkby and the
exit; Maitland and Newbold were
nearest. The old man came to his
senses first.

The family with young children
that is without sickness in the house

portant that the head of the house

emergencies that arise. A child with
a serious ailment needs a doctor, it is
true, but in the majority OF instances,

from some intestinal trouble, usually
constipation.
There is no sense in giving it pill

membering the struggle; you fought

Singular perversion of language and

wild beasts that was fighting like men!
'But let that pass" continued the
woman. Il don't deny your physical
courage, but 1 am going to appeal to
another kind Of courage which be-
lieve you possess. You have showed
your evil side here in this room, but
/ don't believe that's the only side you
have, else couldn't have liked you in
the past. You have made charge
against two women; one dead and one
living. It makes little difference what
you say about me. l need no defense
and no justification in the eyes of
those here who love me, and for the
rest of the world don't care. But you
have slain this mans confidence in a
woman he once loved, and who he
thought loved him. AS you are man,

was innocent Of anything else although
she did love you"
