A war drama in which a. whole fleet

At The Grand.

An Orpheum act. Law G. Keith, a
very classy musical singing act, pre-
senting a scene in metropolitan mu-
sic store, opened last night for three
days only. Their act is entirely out
Of the ordinary. Mr.. Keith (the sweet
melodious singer had the audience
spellbound. He had to answer to
several encores. Miss Law, the ac-
complished piano player, made a de-
cided hit with her clever accmpani-
ments swhile her musical number
we'll received. The finish with their
mysterious dance, although not quite
new, was very pleasing.
This is a very classy act and one of
the best seen here for quite a long
while. Don't miss 1t, only here three
days. Since only one act Is on the
bill the price of admission is 15c.
Don't miss II.

At THE OREGON THEATRE

The Oregon theatre will house for
Friday night that clever comedian,
Harry Bulger. in his newest edition
of the musical success, THE Flirting
Princess This is a musical comedy
of the latter day period and marks a
new departure of the Clever Bulger,
who was last seen in as Blue Jay in
Henry W. Savage5s wonderful pro-
duction Of Woodland" It is said
that Bulger has never had a part that
fits him to such a nicely as in The
Flirting Princess" which is styled a
nonsense farce"
The Princess" is a disguised
Egyptian girl with just enough of an
adventurous spirit to enjoy the fir
tations of her would d-be-wooers, while
she is seeking for the man she would
care to kiss for the second time. Her
experience proves the first kiss is
disastrous to any further enchant-
ment. She surrounds herself with an
atmosphere Of mystery, and finds en-
joyiable recreation among the guests
OF the Hotel Claremont, where the
authors. Adams. Hough and Howard,
see fit to let everything happen. Sew
eral things do happen, and in rapid
succession between six o'clock on
summers evening and the wee small
hours Of the next morning. The time
allotted proves sufficient to bring
forth seventeen musical numbers Of
the whistleable variety, and gives Mr.
Bulgar opportunity for three hours of
his inimitable style Of fun-making.
Mr. Bulger is surrounded by an ex-
ceptional cast, including Helen Darling
Eileen Sheridan, Dale Fuller and the
prettiest and most vivacious chorus
that has come out Of the east in many
a day. THE Flirting Princess might
aptly be styled a terpsichoroean car
nival. as II simply teens with unique
dances in the presentation Of the
"Oogie" and Gloomy Glooms'
dances, and the latest sensation which
society is only now taking up, styled
the Egyptian Turkey Trot."
THE Flirting Princess" is under
the able direction Of Mort H. Singer,

performed by an indianapolis mayor.

know what they want; they insist on
seeing you and / can't find out what
its about"

The Pastime.

The home of good pictures. Tues
days change of program.
The Nagabonds," Selig. Adapted
from Trowbridge's famous poem of
the same title. Among sentimental
heart stories perhaps none is more
widely known than that told in "The
Vagabonds a wandering violinist
enters a bar room followed by his
canine companion Roger. He enter
tains the company with Roger
tricks and tells his story of dear
girls love- and of how the wine
went round and OF the blasted home
and broken heart that followed his
taking to drink. He relates how,
years after when a wanderer, he saw
her and how she little dreamed he had
kissed the coin she had dropped to
him. This picture will please the most
fastidious audience.
The Man Under the Bed" Vita
graph. Practical jokes are dangerous
playthings. They often become seri-
Gus realities. This shows how a lit
tie chap frightened his sister and got
a real scare himself.
After the Reward" Essany. 4
typical Essany comedy hit, abounding
in screaming situations and clean
cut fun; which will add a fresher
bloom to the cheek Of youth, and
sparkles to the age-dimmed eye.
"The Convict's Parole" Edison. A
dramam in which a kindly and pro-
gressive governor figures as the "God
from the machine" to show UP the
evil deeds of grating, villainous po-
liticians and to make a good heroine
and hero triumphant. 1t tells a good
story full of humanity and very pleas
ing.

CURING THE CAT.

That even a cat may experience sud-
den reformation is proved by the expert
ment thus reported by Mrs. Gray:
l had been missing young chickens,
one or two at time, from the brood we
were raising in the back yard. At last
discovered that our neighbours cat was
the thief. He was a big black fellow
with yellow stripe round his neck, and
did not want to cause his death, but |
did desire very much to effect his refor-
nation.
l watched him until l found out the
time he usually slipped through the cross
fence and came over for his supper of
spring chicken. Then l brought large
cannon firecracker and sat down by an
upstairs window that overlooked the
chicken yard to wait for him.
Directly he appeared, cautiously look
ing to the right and left waving his tail
in anticipation. He picked out his prey
and crouched. lighted the fuse of the
cracker and held it as long as it was
safe. Just as he was ready to spring
pitched it to the ground.
1t struck not foot behind him and ex-
ploded as it struck.
That cat went into the air almost two
feet, with blood-curdling squat, and
alighted running. 1t never came back.
1t lives to good old age in the house
next door, but it never came into my
yard again, and do not believe plate
of cream would have tempted it six
inches beyond the fence. -Youth's Com
panion.

Wednesday evening, Oct. Both was the
83d anniversary of Grandma Cries birth
day, the people of Criehaven from East
ern End to Sunset Point united in giving
her genuine birthday surprise party.
Sitting in her favorite arm chair she had

to the number of "a, who came to wish
her all the happiness and blessings posi-
BILE, and to bring her gifts to attest their
love and respect. Besides gifts they
brought treat of candy, nuts and lem

profusion of beautiful garden flowers,
untouched by frost, were brought to
grace the occasion. A bunch of rasp-
berry twigs bearing blossoms, green and
ripened fruit, was among the offerings.
Post cards and gifts from friends and
relatives from Seattle on the Pacific to
Castine on the Atlantic were received by
Grandma. The school children recited
poems about Grandma, the young peo-
pie sang, and altogether it was most
enjoyable occasion, and Crandma's heart
is full of thankfulness for such demon
stration of love and good will.
