THE CANDY KID.

It is seldom that play survives its
second season on the popular priced
circuit, and when it does and goes
the second season one better, it IS a.
sure thing that it is real success
an a play that has caught on greatly
with the theater going public. Such
is the case Of 1.-THE Candy Kid" which
will make its third appearance here
at the Lyceum all next week COM
mencing Sunday matinee. The play
Is said to have made large fortune
for it's producers Kilroy-Britton, and
with: a new bunch Of songs, special
ties and novelties it will undoubtedly
prove as popular as ever. Jack Roll
lens is the bright particular star Of
this seasons production, and he is
said to have proven himself much
moro clever than all his predecessors
in the role of The Candy Kid" There
will be a daily matinee and two per-
formances each night.

A meeting was recently called here
for the purpose Of considering the big

The meeting resulted in a failure
on account Of the proposition SUBJ

bodies were represented by delegates

the meeting, declaring that it was the
purpose to consider plans through
which industrial: disputes in the state
could be solved through boards Of

The coal operators declared they
were unwilling : to participate in

operators in the conference was not

that the political and economic ques-

BOYS ADJUSTMENTS IN CUBA
Spin Tops in Spring Just Like Their
American Cousins-Reason for
Custom Is Problem.

Boys certainly are boys the world
over. and the little Cuban youngster
is as like Young America as two peas
in pod. says Havana correspondent
In the New York Sun. Just why the
Cuban hopeful should resort to the
sport of top spinning in the springttme
and no other is inexplicable. but it is
true here just as it is in the states.
1t Is not remarkable that they should
spin tops. The strange thing about it
Is that they should only take up this
amusement in the spring. In the
United States there is reason for
this. The winter has kept the young
sters more or less bottled up and the
sports he has INDUCED in have had
their reason in cold weather. With
the coming OF the warm spring days
and the disappearance Of snow and
Ice. the top inevitably appears first
Of all and has it's run until super
seeded by marbles. the playing Of which
is better suited to the still warmer
days following.
But In Cuba there Is no such reason.
So far as the climate is concerned the
youngsters can spin tops successfully
from one end of the year to the other.
Why do they do it only in the spring?
That this is fact cannot be contro-
verted, and It is done, too, by boys
who have never set foot on American
soil. Nor has the practice come with
the American flag.
Is It then psychological? Is there
anything in the mental makeup of the
species boy which frresistibly compels
him to seek his top in the months of
March and April? Can It be heredi-
tary. handed down through all the
ages from the days of Noah's ark?
Now II this be not the explanation
of the reason why Yankees in a cold
climate and Cubans in a hot one spin
tops IN the same months of the spring
and at no other time, let some student
OF the race furnish another.

very cynical proverb says that Who

truth concealed in the proverb. when
anybody gets rich the very walls of
