1.-THE GOOSE GIRL"
At the New Odeon Tuesday Evening


At the New Odeon Tuesday Evening,
May 7.
The Goose Girl" the dramatized YER
sion Of the popular novel, by Harold
MacGrath, which Is to be the current
attraction at the New Odeon Tuesday
evening, is one of the most pleasing and
attractive plays that will be presented
at this theater during the season. In
like other dramatizations Of popular
novels none Of the effectiveness OF the
story is lost in the efforts to faithfully
carry out the story Of the book.
To those who have read and enjoyed
the novel it is all the more pleasing
as a play. None Of the heroics are
lost, none Of its romance curtatled and
little Of the higher qualities missing.
From a dramatic standpoint, The
Goose Girl" easily takes it's place with
the best offerings placed before ,heater-
goers. The play is consistently writ
ten and revels in thrilling dramatic
scenes and situations, which are not
confined 20 one or two particular acts,
but which are spread thruout the en-
tire four acts Of the play. The dramatic
cation of the book is an admirable one,
far in excess Of what Is usually pre-
sented

Extension OF Service.
Two petitions. both OF which were
a request for an extension Of sewer
mains, were filed with the city council
this forenoon. Thirty-seven property
owners on South Center and Arson
streets petitioned that sewer be laid
on Arson street to connect with the
sewer at the intersection Of Arson and
Third avenue, thence west to Center
street and south on Center street to
South street Councilman Lamb said
the sewer extension was badly need
ed. The petition was placed on file.
Property owners on North Third
avenue ask for an extension of the
sanitary sewer from the end Of the
present sewer north. These property
owners. it is claimed. thought they
would have the right to connect with
the flood water sewer that was partly
destroyed last fall.

johnny-cake and corn mush. We ate it
with thick cream and butter. We had
our own maple sugar and syrup; we had
cellars full of apples and barrels of our
own pork. We had lambs in season and
fowls and eggs always. We never
telephoned to the grocery store to send
us out pound of bacon at Is cents per
pound. We would have been ashamed
to buy a pound of bacon, or of anything,
for we bought things in quantity salt
for year, sugar for a year land then
not much), and while we had enough of
everything that anyone in the world
needs, we spent little money because we
did not have money to spend.
Everything was on different scale
in those days. The essentials were, it
seems to me, more apt to give joy than
the luxuries do now. Your grandfather
had his degree from college, but l have
an idea that it all cost less in actual
cash than one year for boy in college
today. We all worked in those days.
Your grandfather with his little wooden
mill did not always have an assistant,
or your grandmother often a servant.
l think would be glad to return to the
old days, if only could carry with me
the cheap and abundant literature of
these days. The literature and the
pictures of today are good, if we choose
them wisely, but you must remember
that while we had few books then, we
choose them as we choose our friends,
for life. We did not read to kill time as
people do today. We had no time to kill
in those days; minutes were precious.
We read as we gathered treasures,
hoping to retain forever.
"And we had so great an equality in
those good old departed days. There
We're men wiser than others then, men
better than others, as always has
been and always will be, but we all
stood on the same footing, more than
we do now. We all met in the same
church and in town meeting. There
was not then the dividing of people into
social classes that we see today.
"Will cut out and make you a suit
of clothes this year? No, no, son; run
along and quit your foolshness. You
would not like the cut your poor old
mother would give you and you know it.
You can sell one fat pig and buy with
the money a better looking suit of
clothes. so far as fit goes, than ever we
could make. The clothes will not last
so long, but you would not want them
to last so long today, and you know it.
l guess man can earn suit of clothes
today with far fewer hours of labor
than he could in my girlhood or in my
young wfehood.
Thus spoke that dear old mother of
mine: God bless her.
