1.-THE LOTTERY MAN"

After one has seen "The Lottery
Man" it can easily be understood why
the stage is running to comedies. The
Messrs Shubert produced this come
dy early last fall, brought it to New
York after a brief road tour and 1t
has remained on Broadway, at the
Bijou theater, for practically the en-
tire season. Herbert Thayer, who u.s.
ed to play in musical comedy and
later was starred in several well
known dramatic successes, is the
lottery man" in question. He is
surrounded by an excellent cast. The
comedy, which is by Rida Johnson
Young, will be seen for the first time
in this city at the Grand theater,
next Sunday.
The principal figure in the play is
a newspaper reporter, Jack Wright.
He is hard pressed for immediate
cash and appeals to his chief, Foxy
Payton, owner of the paper, to help
him out. Payton makes an advance
and Wright loses all of it on the
stock market. As security he had
pledged to turn in to Payton one of
the biggest scoops" the paper has
ever known. So Wright proceeds to
make good" He announces a lot
terry with himself as the prize.
But" says the cautious newspaper
owner, "a lottery is against the law"
1.-The law says" explains Wright,
that you cannot give away capital
prize. In our case the prize will give
itself away"
The first day the paper makes the
announcement, thousands of old maids
rush the office. Wright is eager to
proceed with the scheme as money
is literally rolling in. Meantime, he
falls in love with Helen Heyer and
the agony he suffers-when as he
explains the first woman he meets
on the street may claim him as her
husband-may be imagined. The plot
is entirely original and is worked Out
in Mrs. Young's most entertaining
style. The New York papers fairly
raved over the bright situations. The
fact that the comedy remained in
New York for so long a time is one
Of its best recommendations.

SYNOPSIS.

Dan Blair, the 22-year-old son OF the
hfty-miliion dollar copper king of Blair
town. Mont, is guest at the English
home of Lady Galorey. Dams father had
been courteous to Lord Galorey during
his visit to the United States and the
courtesy is now being returned to the
young man. The youth has an ideal girl
in his mind. He meets Lily. Duchess of
Breakwater. q beautiful widow, who ts
attracted by his immense fortune and
takes a liking to her. When Dan was a
boy, q girl sang solo at church, and
ne had never forgotten her The Ga
loreys. Lily and Dan attend London
6heater where one Lefty Lane is the star-
Dan recognizes her as the girl from his
town, and going behind the scenes intro
duces himself and she remembers him.
He learns that Prince Poniotowsky Is
suitoI and escort to Lefty. Lord Ca
iorey and a friend named Ruggles detor-
mine to protect the westerner from Lily
and other fortune hunters. Young Blair
goes to see Lily; he can talk of nothing
but Lefty and this angers the Duchess.
The westerner finds Lefty Ill from hard
york, but she recovers and Ruggles and
Dan invite her to supper. She asks Dan
to build home for disappointed the
atrical people. Dan visits Lily. for the
time forgetting Lefty, and later an
pounces his engagement to the duchess.
Lefty refuses to sing for an entertain
nent given by Lily. Galorey tells Dan
that all Lily cares for is his money. and
1t Is disclosed that he and the duchess
have been mutually In love for years.

adopted. We may begin with a few
pure-bred sheep OF the breed selected,
or we may begin with small flock of
common or grade ewes, which should
be mated with purebred ram Of one
of the down breeds. A middle course
may be adopted by buying pure-bred
ram and few purebred ewes, and en-
larging the number by the addition of
as many grade ewes as may be deem
ed expedient Beginning in this way,
flock Of pure-bred sheep may be rap
idly built up, and as the pure-bred
flock increases the grades may be
eliminated
For the man without experience and
who is engaging in the business to sup
ply the butcher market with lambs or
mutton sheep. there is probably no
better way to begin the business than
by buying a small bunch Of good,
sound, healthy young grade ewes and
a pure-bred ram of one Of the down
breeds, and gradually grading up the
flock by selecting the. best eve lambs
every year. The sire is Of primary i'm
portance, and under no circumstances
should anything but pure-bred ram
be used. To avoid in-breeding 1t will
be necessary to change sires frequently,
but while the flock. is small the ram
may be bred to his own offspring with.
out serious risk, but in-breeding
should not go beyond this. When the

it did. from the lips Of popular sin

low with traditions. and the tide Of
fashion poured its stream into the
mushroom to listen to the Sunday
concert. Without, the day was bland
and beautiful, mild spring in the deep
sweet air, and already the bloom lay
over the park and along the turf. Pic
cadilly was ablaze with flowers. and In
the windows and in the fiower-wo-
mems baskets they were so sweet as
to make the heart ache and to make
the senses thrill. Keen to the spring
beauty, the last guest to go into the
drawing-room of the Duchess of Break
water was the young American man
In whom the magic of the season had
stirred the blood. He seemed the
youngest and the brightest guest to
cross the sill of the great house whose
debts he was going to pay. and whose
future he was going to secure with
American money.

her by Dan. She said he was too
