When "a Modern Eve" the Berlin
offering now enjoying an unprecedent-
ed popularity, is presented by Mort
H, Singer and Martin Beck at the
opera house, Saturday, January 4,
there will be seen the most perfectly
trained chorus that ever embellished
musical comedy. During the $50
performances Of "a Modern Eve" in
Chicago, the clever aggregation of
girls, with only two or three eXCep-
tions, have been a feature since the
opening night. The operetta was
staged by the celebrated director,
Frank SmithsOn, who has no equal in
the exploitation of a chorus. There
are many song hits to be heard in "A
Modern Eve" among them Goodbye,

daintiness that has not been eQualed
for popularity since Every Little
Movement Has Meaning of its own"

MORE FREE EGGS
FOR THE CHILDREN

George II. Graves, Of Black Rock,
falls in line with the idea Of helping
the children get started in the poultry
contest at the state fair this year by
offering two FREQ settings of eggs of
his White Indian Runner ducks He
offers these on the same terms as
Messrs, Kaplinger and McCauley
which was announced recently. He
.also gives one pair Of White Indian
ducks to the children exhibiting the
best pair Of ducks at the fair next fall.
All children applying to Mr.. Graves
fer eggs by February will have their
names deposited at the office of State
Superintendent L. r. Alderman and
WI be in on the drawing on that day
and the first two lucky ones will each
receive u free setting of eggs from
Mr.. Graves prize winning White In
dian Runner ducks.
This makes nine settings Of eggs
that have been donated to the chill
dren who enter the contest at the state
fair the coming year, and It is help
that is very much appreciated by
those in charge Of the children indus
trial contest work. When the breed
ers furnish eggs from first class stock
the child getting them has better
chance to win, it is said, and gets
more encouragement and profit from
the contest and is more likely to go on

the night he kissed his mothers wrin-

Several days afterward, when the
new year was yet young, Jonadab's
Uncle Simon Hopkins wrote and offer
ed Jonadab a job in the city.
The consequence of this letter was
that Mrs Hopkins went to spend the
winter with her married daughter in
Big River, while Jonadab sold the cows
and chickens and hired out his horses
and closed the farm.
As the months passed by and he
became interested in his new work
he grew to detest the thought Of re-
turning to the farm. So when the
spring came he remained in New York,
toiling all through the hot summer days
until the splendid color left his face
, and his brown hands grew quite pale.

A S he tramped away from the Webb
~ homestead that New Years
4 n eve JOnadab Hopkins viciOusly
kicked the light, dry snow into
miniature tlurries Of sparkling dia-
mond dust. He had told himself that
when the New Year dawned he would
be che promised husband of Miriam
Webb, and he had proved himself a
false prophet
Jonadab's deafness was the cause Of
the bitter perpleXity that now assailed
him. The night before he had asked
Miriam Webb to marry him after sew
eral years of diflident courting, and
even now, twelve hours afterward he
did not know his fate. Miriam had
bmshed warmly and said something
very shyly, but all the sound that
Jonadab caught was the final vowel
"o," and it was an easy matter for his
modest heart to interpret it as NO"
He had cupped his hand about his
ear and bent his handsome head to-
ward her golden one. what do you
say, Miriam"
Miriam had blushed more beautifully
than ever and had laid sun Drowned
little hand on his arm with timld
gesture that thrilled bin through.
She lifted her head with a quick, bird
like movement and spoke close to his
ear
"-ow was all Jonadab heard.
He had arisen to his feet and STUN
bled toward the door. "Im sorry" he
said gently. 1--WE made a mistake, l
guess. Good night"
Miriam Webb had made no reply,
She had merely retained her seat on
the sofa and stared at him with fright
ened eyes from which all the timid
happiness had fed. A long time after
Jonadab had waded away through the
piling snowdrlfts Miriam sat there un-
til her mother poked an inquiring head
through the doorway.

Webb? Here you are sitting while that

you'd turned the draft on and forgot
to shut 'em off. There-you're such a

Mrs. Webb opened the door Of the
cylinder stove and closed the draft
tightly. Then she sat down in her
trailing flannel wrapper and looked In
qulringly at her daughter.
"Has he asked you yet, Mlriam2"
Miriam blushed and nodded her head.
