 The play abounds in stirring scenes, particularly one in which Maxim si1encer'' attachment is used on pistol, completely mystifying the police seeking the solution of a strange homicide. There is an abundance of bright lines and amusing situations, and with the excellent company at the Park theatre there Is a wealth of character drawing that cannot fail to interest the student of human nature.
 Catherine Tower imparts convinc- ing earnestness to the role of Mary Turner, leader of the band of crirni- nals. An excellent characterization IS that of "Aggie" given by Beatrice Moves. Joseph Raw1ey as Joe Carson, Sidney Booth in the role of Richard Glider. Howard Gould as Edward Glider lend strength to a we'll selected cast.
 The play will be seen tonight and tomorrow with Wednesday matinee and from the reception extended It's opening performance it may be ex- pected that big audiences will be the rule.

Never, if you would giraffe gallop in
the way you should go, will you permit
less room to intervene between your
partner and yourself than eight or ten
inches-an entire foot is better.
The giraffe gallOp is said to be the
entering wedge wherewith turkey trot-
ting and bunny hugging are to be put
off the social cards entirely.
Fashions in dances are to change-so
they say"-and the giraffe gaIlop is
the first wide departure from the pres
ent order of things.
Whether the giraffe gallop is to be-
come Immediately popular--or ever
we'll, that, to be sure, is another story,
and very much yet to be told.
The new dance is not easily learned
1t requires considerable practice to put
it through gracefully, and no small
amount of agility and nimbleness of
foot However, once mastered, it is
said to be extremely pretty and fasci-
ma ting

business since last March with
George G. Winter as manager Mr..
Winter is an experienced land

CONTINUE ANOTHER WEEK
A. G. Rankin To Remain In Bemidji
Longer-Wiu Lecture at Metho- p.
dist Church-More Take Pledge
TOTAL NOW NUMBERS 100

1t has been announced that A. G..
Rankin, the temperance advocate,
who has been drawing crowds to the
Presbyterian church during the last
week because of his temperance lee
lures will remain in the city an
other week. The lectures next week
will take place at the Methodist
church. T..'
Including those who took the
pledge at last evenings meeting, 16O
have resolved to refrain from par
taking of Intoxicating liquors since
Mr.. Rankin began his lectures in Be
midi. ~ ..sy
In his lecture last evening Mr..
Rakin told of the Secrets of the
Liquor Traffic's Power He brought
out in a forcible way that there were
two distinct reasons for that power
one of them being the profit secured
by it's sale and the other being the
appetite it cause the drinker to form.
Mr.. Rankin said that the Socialists
were wrong in their belief that their
platform would remedy the evil. It is
the opinion of Socialists, according to
Mr.. Rankin, that if the saloons are
owned by the government that it
would have the right effect. This the
lecturer said would be found to be
untrue for while it would do away
with the profit it would not effect
the appetite. ..
The topic for this evening is "The
Unanswered and the Unanswerable.
There will be no lecture tomorrow
night. --r.r s#v ...a
