The RICH little girl who has
servants to wait upon her,
nurses to take her walking, heaps
of clothes, fine home to live In
and plenty of money to spend is
only a POOR little girl If her faith
er is too busy making money to
notice her and her mother is too
busy having parties and going
visiting to love her.
These are the things everybody
has chance to learn in the won
derful new play called "The Poor
Little Rich Girl" which hundreds
of people go to see every night in
New York this winter. It's all
about little girl named Gwen
dolyn. She's only eight years old.
She lives in splendid house on
Riverside Drive in New York city.
Her father is a busy, business
man. And her mother wants to
be a great society lady. They
both think the only thing little
Gwendolyn needs is a high posi-
ton in the world and lots of
money to spend. But what Gwen
dolyn REALLY wants is what all
little girls and boys want most;
the loving thought and attention
and companionship of her par
ents.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-05-07

They neglect her and leave her
to the care of servants. One
night the maid wants to go out
with some friends. She gives
Gwendo1yn an overdose of sleep
ing medicine. The little girl
grows delirious and Is ill many,
many days. While she is out Of
her mind she has a beautiful
dream. She thinks, she is just a
poor, little girl dressed In O ging-
ham dress and going barefoot.
She lives in the big, open coun-
try. She has real playmates and
a father and mother who CARE
for her. She feels so happy and
contented.
While she dreams, her own
father and mother learn how ter
ribly i'll she is and understand
for the first time how dear their
little girl is to them. They see
they have done very, very wrong
to neglect her and promise each
other to do differently if she
only gets well.
At last after many weary days
and nights of watching, little
Gwendolyn gets better. One
morning she opens her eyes and
sees her father leaning over her
On one side of the bed, the doc
tor at the foot, and the mother
on the other side. She thinks
it's too good to be true and sup
poses 1t only part Of her dream.
She looks again and finds it is
REALLY real. After that her
father and mother always find
time for her.
Your know, children, how
happy she Is then. She's no
longer a POOR, little, rich girl,
She's rich because her parents
love her

AMATEUR NIGHT

Loud their derision If their de-
cision
Isn't in praise of the quavering
wight;
Yet If they favor the act and is
flavor,
People will show it on amateur
night!
Scared little grille scampers on
early,
Nobody jeers her, she's "only a
kid"
Next comes a fat guy-they hanl
it to THAT guy,
Out comes the hook and it's
him for the skid!

Most of them "beat it" in hasu-
est flight;

kinks in your eyebrow
You can find surcease in anna

already described These boxes may
be piled one above tue other.
When the hens are let off the nests
to feed. the doors of the nest boxes
should be closed, which compels the
hens to remain on the floor until theS
have had a chance to feed. The hens
will not return to the same nests, but
this is rather likely to be of benehl
than otherwise All hens do not sci
at exactly the same temperature, ana
an occasional change averages up the
Temperature for all the settings OF
eggs.
No hen should be allowed to set. I'M
less she is free from lice. The mac
ton OF the bird is conducive to rapid
multiplication of any lice there may De
on her. These will make her irri-
table and a poor setter. In addition.
should she bring off hatch in such
condition. the chicks will be open TO
Infection. Dust the hen well with
flowers of sulphur or some other in
sect powder before setting, and again
q day or two before the hatch fin
ishes.
About the seventh day the eggs
should be tested, the infertile ones re-
moved. and the balance put hack IN
the nests. After testing IL is usually
found that the eggs from four hens
can be put under three. This leaves
one hen with no eggs, and new sci
ting can be put under her.
When the chicks arrive two or three
patches can be put with one ben
which leaves more hens at liberty tc
sit. or If there is no more Matching
to be done they can be put back in the
laying pens.

Poetic Justice in France.

The following is a case Of poetic
Justice as melted out in France:
A well-known Partisan architect
was sitting in his Office when he heard
knock at the door. AS he wished to
be alone, he took no notice OF the
knock but went on with his work A
few minutes later he heard a key
moving in the lock. Not doubling that
his visitor was a burglar, the archi.
tect armed himself with a revolver
and quietly hid behind some curtains
Presently the thief entered and pro-
ceeded to rife the place. Then sud-
denly he started and grew pale. In
a mirror he had seen a revolver lev
eled at his head from behind the cur
tains.

chitect, and shout 'Police!'"

mistress and maid were on terms OF
affectionate intimacy and the progress
Of the toilet was generally enlivened
by gossip and laughter. Tonight the
girl was singularly silent, responding
with monosyllables and sometimes not
at all to the remarks of her assistant
As the woman drew the fastenings OF
the dress together, she could feel that
the body the gown clipped so closely
quivered like the casing Of machinery,
vibrating to powerful conclusions
within.
The silence that continued to hold
her throughout dinner passed unno-
ticed, as Gene was there and enlivened
the passage Of the meal by contrib
uting an almost unbroken stream Of
talk. The night before he had been to
a play, the plot Of which, and its de-
velopment in four acts, he now related
with a fullness of detail which testf-
fed to the closeness Of his attention
and the accuracy of his memory. AS
each course was removed from the
table. and the young man could once
more give his undivided attention to
| the matter of discourse. he leaned
back in his chair and took up the
dropped thread with a fresh zest and
some such remarks as:
IN the beginning OF the next act,
the hero comes in with his hat on,
and first he says"-and so on.
With each Of these renewals OF the
narrative the Bonanza King subsided
against his chair-back in a limp att
tude, staring with gloomy fixity at his
boy, and expelling his breath in long
audible rush of air, which was some
times a sigh and sometimes ap
preached the proportions Of groan.
At the end Of dinner, when Gene
announced his intention of leaving as
he was to attend a vaudeville perform
ance, the old man began to show signs
of reviving animation, going so far a:
politely to ask his son where he wa:
going and with whom. His manner
was marked by a warm, hearty encour
agement, as he said:
Get the whole vaudeville program
down by heart, Gene, and you can tel
1t to US tomorrow night. There'll b.
about twelve parts to 1t, and Rose cal
order two extra courses for dinner
and we might hire some men will

paniment."
Gene, with innocent good>humor. re
sponded gaily:
"All right, father. I'll give 1t my bes
attention, and II there's anything es
pecially good, I'll report to you. Yo

Rosey who's saying that, and who's SO

Rose turned from the fire. He
noted an expression almost of auster-
ity on her face that was as new TO
him as the revelation of obstinacy and
indifference to his will she had shown
tonight.

The old man was silent. He bad
presented his case as strongly and per
suasively as he knew how, and he had
