broke into the Brickett building, adj

sometime between Tuesday of last
week and Sunday morning.
In the building w. S. Laid has
several automobiles stored for the

tered for the purpose of removing one
or more of the cars to parts unknown
by the burglars. They however dis
covered that the cars We're so an
chored that they could not be moved.
Mr.. Ladd had visited the place OF

Sunday morning, when he made his
discovery. He found nothing of value
removed although there were good
many valuable tools in the cars and
about the place.

Something About the New Farce,
"Stop Thief


farce is a dramatic work rein
forced with absurdities in the matter
of snappy lines and unexpected
laughter, and in presenting Stop
Thief" Conan & Harris believe they
are offering a play that possesses all
of these attributes. 1t will be pre-
sented at the Opera House Saturday
matinee and night, Jan. Sd.
Stop Thief" is from the pen Of
Carlyle Moore, and the story he tells
has to do with two people who, imag-
lining themselves kleptomaniacs, are
continually obsessed with the fear of
being found out. Neither of them is
aware of the others irresistible in
ciination to steal, to check which a
detective Is engaged to watch over
them.
The detective fails to show up, but
real burglar. struggled into the
house by new maid, does, and is i'm
mediately accepted by the klepto-
maniacs as the sleuth who is to guard
their actions.
1t is around this rather unique idea
that the auhtor has woven his play
the plot of which bristles with fun,
punctuated with many thrills that are
materially enhanced by the unusual
spectacle of a light-fingered gentleman
exercising his nefarious calling. while
two members of the home that is be-
ing dismantled imagine that they
themselves are the culprits.

After the Spanish war the famous
cartoonist appeared in southern city.
His subject was Uncle Sans Folks"
and the entertainment was given in
large school auditorium. On the wall
hung a large map of the Eastern ana
Western Hemisphere, and in a mo-
ment of inspiration, Packard stepped
to the map with crayon in hand, and
in a few strokes converted the
hemispheres into the wheels of a BIZ
cycle, upon which he drew Uncle sam
sc6rching down the ages upon the two
hemispheres. This extempore bit OF
pictorial wit scored a big hit. but next
day when Packard came to settle for
the map it cost him $40.
In another city an incident occurred
which was not on the program. The
opera house stage floor was waxed
and slippery. Just as Packard had
completed a beautiful sketch in glow
ing colors of sunset, he slipped and
fell with the picture and easel in
heap on the stage. He sat calmly
smiling while the audience laughed,
then remarked, Il have drawn many
pictures of sunsets. but this is the
first one l ever made so natural that
the sun actually went down."-Adv.
