BREED THEATRE
HThe Tide ot Battle" The Intensely Dramatic Civil War Drama Today.


 A drama teemlng with the enthusi- Rstic antieipaFiens of 6nepnling battles, with all their uncertainties, have always followed such events, is the feature at the Breed today, It is entitled ''The Tide of Battle" and opens with a stupendeus reception glven in honor of the Confederate volunteers, at which Hardee, sturdy young lieutenant, bids good bye to his sweetheart, Alisia, elder daughter of John Stafford, representative southern gentleman, Alisia is a coquette, and does not take the lieut. chants attentions seriously but when he leaves for the front, Mystic the younger daughter, finds her heart has fallen for him, but this fact Is quite unknown to him,
 Later, while the B'ederais are pU- cupying the Stafford estate as head quarters, Hardee, anxious to visit Alisia, volunteers to act as spy, and learn the plans of the federals. He succeeds in penetrating the enemy s line, but his hopes are shattered when he ga9es through a window, only to see Alisia in the arms of a Federal officAr. His jealousy aroused, Hardee iS about to shoot the Federal when Mystic appears and speaks his name. He then remembers his duty, and Mystic relates the account of the pro posed attack He starts back for camp to warn his comrades, when he is discovered by a sentry and severely wounded
 How Mystic saves the object of her 5ecret love and how the intrepid girl brings victory to the Confederates by Der daring and her stratergy, make 8 happy conclusion to this strikingly 4g1ginal dramatic story.

MiIk,veed as spr;nq Beans.

In western Connecticut the milk weed is valuable addition to the re- sources of the housezeeper in the spring, It may be served as greens only, being boiled with a piece of salt pork, and chopped fine with the pork when cooked. Many New England farm women, however, make two dishes from one gathering of the milk weed. It should be cut when about six or eight inches high.S The leaves and tops are then boiled for greens, and the tender stems sliced diagonal ly into bits about an inch long, cook ed and served with a milk and butter dressing like string beans. Spring beans the dish is called The large stems, about the first of Junes often figure on the table as summer aspar- aguS They must be gathered before the blossoms form, and all leaves pinciled off except the four folded to- gether at the end of the steam. Tied in punches and boiled, and served on toast win melted butter, pepper and salt, they would deceive anyone who did not notice the hollow stems.-Con- necticut Farmer.
