At THE OREGON THEATRE
"Ihc nOSarN."


At the present day when so many
plays are being presented which deal
with questionable subjects it is a re-
lief to turn to a drama which breath
es purity and good fellowship and
leads the way to brighter view of
life and humanity.
Sush a play is The Rosary" writ
ten by Edward f. Rose, expressly for
Messrs. Rowland and Clifford, and
produced by them.
The theme of the play concerns a
man and a woman happily married
and surrounded with every luxury
that money and culture can secure.
But the husband is an unbeliever, an
atheist. without faith of any kind.
There is Earring note in the
household harmony, personality at
war with the peace and love of its
makers No one notices this until a
friend of the husband comes, Father
Kelly, a priest of the modern world
with a deep insight into human ma
ture and a divine love for his fellow
men. And when stress and trouble
come when the home is wrecked and
husband and wife are brought down
to the depths of suffering agony, it
is the priests calm courage and faith
that saves them, drives away the
clouds of suspicion. doubt, mistrust
and brings them both into the sun

AS if he knew the terrible need
He stretched away with his utmost

With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Still sprung from those swift hoofs,
laundering South,
The dust, like smoke from the can

On the trail of a comet sweeping
faster and faster,
Foreboding to traitors the doom of
disaster.
The heart of the steed and the heart
of the master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting
their walls;
Every nerve of the charger was strain
ed to full play,
With Sheridan only ten miles away.
Under his spurning feet the road,
Like an arrowy Alpine river, flowed,
And the landscape sped away behind
Like an ocean flying before the wind,
And the steed, like a bark fed with
furnace ire,
swept on, with his wild eye full of fire.
But 10! he is nearing his hearts de-
sire.
He is snuffing the smoke of the roar
ing fray,
With Sheridan only five miles away.
Tie first that the general saw were
the groups
Of stragglers, and then the retreating
troops;
What was done? What to do? A
glance told him both;
Then striking his spurs, with ter
rible oath,
He dashed down the line mid storm
of huzzars,
And the wave of retreat checked its
course there because

SHERIDAN'S RIDE.

(By Buchanan Read.)
Up from the South at the break of
day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay.
The affrighted air with a shudder
bore
Like herald in haste to the chief
tain's door.
The terrible grumble. and rumble and
roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider still those pillows of war
Thundered along the horizons bar;
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The war of that red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the listener cold,
AS the thought of the stake in that
fiery fray,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there is a road from Winchester
town.
A good broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush of the
morning light,
A steed as black as the steed of night.
