all. The piece was seething with sa-
tire, wit and humor, there being at
least half dozen characters who
could provoke a laugh with ease. The
chorus was one of the best heard
here for a long time, both in voice
and action, and most of their dances
got away from the old conventional
lines. Incidentally the staging was
splendid, the scenic effects being un-
usually good and the costumes ele-
giant, these latter relying more upon
their beauty, novelty and freshness
than upon brevity and scantiness to
excite the interest of the audience.
Zoe Barnett, the star of the cast,
proved her right to the distinction
given her. She is not exactly beau
tiful and her voice is coarse, but he
had captivating look and way of
saying things that made one forget
her shortcomings And then she has
grace that made her dancing some
thing to be admired and applauded.
Finally, she has the art of acting as
the emotional finale of Act fully
proved, for in one moment she had
her audience choking with tears and
in the next convulsed with laughter.
Among the funmakers were Walter
L. Catlett, whose eccentric dancing
was something of show in itself.
Charles Clear, whose takeoff on Eng
lish affectation has never been equal
led here. William II. Conley, who took
the part of a gouty, wheezy million
aire, and Maurice Darcy as the rival
millionaire. Russell Lennon, as the
models artist, was very good, while

noon for his home in Black Rock.
John H. Page, his successor rs com
missioner of mines, manufactures and
agriculture, took the oath Of office this
morning and started off with practic-
ally the same working force as had
been with Commissioner Sloan. The
retiring official was appointed to the
office by Governor Donaghey upon the
death Of Fred II. Phillips over year
ago, and has made record in the
office of which he can well afford to be
proud.

preme court, expired last night also,
but his successor, Judge Frank Smith,
will not qualify until Monday.

NORTHERN CAPITALISTS
INTERESTED IN STATE

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-Two striking
examples of the interest which is be-
ing taken in Arkansas by capitalists
of the northern states, presented
themselves in the department of agri-
culture Thursday A letter was re-
ceived from r F. McMulin, a Chi
cago banker who visited Arkansas
several months ago in company with
other northern bankers, stating that
he had become intensely interested in
the rice lands of Arkansas, and want
ed all the information he could secure,
as he intended to invest heavily in
lands of that nature.
Another letter came from Colum-
bus, O., asking for information con-
cerning large bodies of land in the
state. The capitalist want 100000 or
100000 acres of land in one tract,
within Is miles of the Rock Island
railroad.

There is no place on earth for the
man who doesn't take sides. Exist
ence is a struggle and men naturally
array themselves in parties, factions,
groups and cabals for the serving OF
theft own interests. He who is most
successful is he who knits the strong
est men to his side and makes best
use of their assistance. The fight
nally and question comes: 'On which
side shall 1 fight?' There is no other
question in life.
You may not like the condition, but
you cannot escape it. If you falter
you fall behind and finally pay the

idler merit and have the contempt OF
their associates. The neutral is right

The neutral in politics is branded
a spiritless apology for citizenship
and is given no consideration when
policies affecting. his welfare are

society in concerned. The man who
attempts to live off business, either
hustling right belligerently, is at
once a negligible quantity. Unless
you do your part you are only in
the way and are made to feel the
bitterness of your position
The one thing that makes this
Garth a good place to live, instead of
