''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine' augurated that the play enjoyed long runs in all the principal cities will be seen here November 5.
 The book, which is from the pen of John Fox Jr., the author of "The Lit tie Shepherd of Kingdom Come' was dramatized by Eugene Walter and the wonderful success of the play has marked it as the best effort of this noted playwright. Isabelle Lowe who played the role of June last season, portrays the same character this com ing season surrounded by the same excellent company.

 Another lady who has caused a stir though in quite different way is the beautiful and charming Duchess of Manchester who has given us a new dance which my readers probably know and which isn't doing a thing" lis that right?) to the once almighty Tango.
 The dance, 1 am told, is composed by an. American, Uriel Davis.
 To be able to dance it you must first patiently practice walking up- stairs instead of using the elevator. When you are quite familiar with the movement required to walk from one step to the one above, all you have to do is to repeat this movement in the ball room: steps forward, steps backward raising your knees as much as possible, then you glide sideways as fast as possible and then repeat the first steps each way.
 Without intending to hurt the feel ings of MT. Uriel Davis I venture to say that l find the dance silly and the reason it is so popular is because it is an excellent exercise to take off flesh.

pointment when the regular session ar. rives. About December the. House lead CTS wilf begin to talk, of regulating the truSts and of passing the annual supply bills. There are more than a dozen appropriation bills which must be passed at every regular session of Congress, and inasmuch as these carry in the aggregate of about one million dollars, the house has time for little else unless the session is unusually prolonged.
 The appropriation bills are sand wiched between such important leg islation as trust reform, conservation and interstate commerce legislation and pet bills of a new member has precious little show The new mem Der doesn't know this when he first reaches the halls of Congress, but he
 gradually arrives at this conclusion as the days and weeks go by and his bills still remain in the committee room
 Even if the bills are reported out of the committee, that may remain upon the calendar for weeks without being actioned The less important the bill, the more the House seems inclined to talk about it and calender has been blocked for days by some little pesky bill standing at the head of the list which affords members for congress an excellent opportunity to talk for home consumption. While all this is going on the statesmen who has a measure further down in the calender is busily engaged writing to his con- stituents that "our bill is now on the calender but unfortunately has not yet been reached. I am in l.opes of putting this bill through neyt We'd nesday." By and by he discovers that the house has little time for private bills and that they are considered only at odd times when the big com mittees have nothing to present. His letters become pessimistic as the session draws near to a close and he finally admits that there is a pros- pect that his bills will not be reached during the session.
 A sadder but wiser man the new member returns home to enter the campaign for re-electiln. tometimes his constituents fall for" his ex- cuses; again they want results and not words and they send up another recruit-and the endless chain of new members continues while about one bill out of one hundred gets on the sta- tute books.

increase results from the fact that the deep blowing afforded a better re- servoir for soil water, and dry wealth CT did not delay the growth. In the deeper blowing larger supply of moisture came in contact with more soil particles and dissolved more plant food. There was also more space for root development, and the larger root development was enabled to secure more moisture and more plant food.

and will materially help the ladies of
the public library board In carrying
out their one fond desire Of completing
building, and musically the entertain

be called an artistic success.

so much sung by children years ago,
I Think When I Read the Sweet Story
of Old. written by Jemima Luke in
1S41, was sung as a solo and sweetly
interpreted by Miss Frances Tillotson.
Other solo numbers, the compositions
being very carefully selected and dis
tinctively appropriate for the occasion,
were given by Mrs. Kalgren of Fargo,
Miss Edythe H. ,Grasse. Oscar Martin
