THE WEATHER ron 1918.

All the other prophets having taken
a crack at the weather prognostica-
lions for 1918, we venture to present
those of Professor Goosebone, our own
personal prophet who prognosticates
exclusively for this column of up
lift. Professor Goosebone knows as
much about it as do the parties who
make the almanacs! Following are
his predictions:
The weather of February will be
variable. Some days it will be cold
and other days not quite SO cold or
colder, as the case may be. A safe
and sane Washington birthday is ex-
pected.
1t will be quite windy in March.
There will be some rain in April.
In May there may be some rain
and considerable book beer, which is
more to the point.
The weather in June will be just
as disagreeable as possible, as there
will be several weddings during the
month
July and August will, according to
all signs, be some warmer than Janu-
airy. There will be very little snow
during these months.
September and October will be
pleasanter than the same months
last year, because there will be no
presidential campaign in progress.
The weather for November and De-
eember will be about as usual, and
perhaps a little more SO.
Farmers and undertakers and 9th
ers who depend a great deal upon the
weather for a livelihood can rely upon
this prediction absolutely.

"DANDY GIRLS" PUT MINER
PATRONS IN MERRY MOOD

Pretty girls, good songs we'll sung,
and humor and comedy are all in evil
dence at Miners Theatre this week,
where the Dandy Girls are disport-
ing themselves.
Sol Ward and Ed Swartz keep the
audience eonvulsed by their funny
antics and witticisms throughout the
performance. Miss Ray Shirley. who
boasts of having won $1,000 in per-
feet figure contest. proved her right
to the prize by her effective posing in
speciality entitled "Visions dart"
Another feature of the show was
the singing of the Victoria -Four. For
many years these four silvery-No1ced
young men have been the rage on tue
vaudeville stage, and their rendering
of many popular songs of today pro-
cured for them encore after encore,
and they deserved the appreciation of
their efforts.
The scenic effects in the two bur
lettas entitled ut Happened IN Ha-
vana" and 1T Happened in Paris are
wonderful. The funny situations
arising from the bridal tour of Her
man Becker and Marie Becker
through Havana to Paris keep the
audience in good humor.
A new feature has been added TO
the Monday night bill at Miners
Theatre. 1t is called Popularity
Night" and everyone will be given
ballot to cast vote for who is, IN
their opinion, the most popular street.
car conductor in New Jersey. The
conductors contest closes the first
Monday in May Then the tiremen or
policemen will probably be given
chance to win a $500 insurance policy,
paid up for three years, which Will be
offered as the prize.

bouts will take place Wednesday,

Blind Five Years, Now Sees.

Members of the household Of James
Johnson, an aged tailor of Woodbury.,
y. j., were startled to hear him ex-
claim suddenly:
81 can see" With a wild cry of
joy he leaped from chair in which
he had been sitting in apparent deep
thought and for several minutes
danced gleefully about the room. The
delight Of the tailor, who is 10 years
old, was shared by the members of
his family, for he was growing de-
spondent over the loss of his sight,
He was suddenly stricken blind five
years ago and continued medical
treatment had failed to do him any
good Johnson had often said that
some day he would see. and his rela-
tiyes humored him in his hope.-Ex-

RED-RIPE CHERRY OF
LAUGHTER AT PROCTOR'S

A vaudeville cherry tree is chopped
down with Proctor's little Ratchet this
week; but there is nothing Id fear in
emulating the truth-telling sequel of
the Father of His Country, as this
particular chopping provides an en-
tertaining holiday bill. There's a red
ripe cherry of laughter or interest in
each of the acts.
With fun figuring predominantly
the bill is headed by William Fl.
Macart and Ethlynne Bradford in a
Iaughable playlet. 1.-THE Second Cen
eration," in which Irish brogue and
wit mix freely. Another sketch which
provides a generous share of mirth
is 1.-THE Groom Forgot" presented
by Mabel Cameron. Allan Dewitt and
company. There's no dull moment
while Won Hoven, the mad magician,
who combines necromancy and a
whirlwind of nonsense, is on the
stage.
Others on the bill are Frank and
Joe Wilson, in a really humorous
talkfest; Ed F. Reynard, a clever
performer who demonstrates, with
the aid of an elaborate and unusual
setting, what lot of fun there is
in ventriloquism; Arthur, Richards
and Arthur, who provide most sur
prising climax to some pleasing mirth
and melody; Jed and Ethel Dooley,
versatile entertainers, in little bit
of everything; Aubria Rich and Ted

musical comedy to ragtime; Ear

some sensational dancing; eccentric

IMAM FROM HOME" GETS
OVATION AT ORPHEUM

In Booth Harrington and Harry
Leon Wilson's charming four-act
play, 1.-THE Man from Home" at the
Orpheum this week. Daniel Voorhees,
Pike, lawyer, of kokomo, Howard
county, Indiana, the man from
home" wins the sympathies of his
audience from his first appearance in
oil-stained duster to the fall of the
final curtain, applause drowning out
the strains of Sweet Genevieve, "
leaving him happy in anticipation of
the trip back to Indiana with two of
the folks from home" Clifford
Stork played an ideal Daniel Voor-
hees Pike.
The story deals with two young
Americans, son and daughter Of Jet
Simpson, of Kokomo. when he was
alive, q tinsmith. At an early age the
boy and girl, Horace and Ethel
Granger Simpson, are taken to Eng
land. They absorb the prejudices,
manners and predictions of the aris-
toeracy, and at the time at which the
play is laid both are about to marry
titles"
Old Jet Simpson had appointed
Daniel Voorhees, Pike the guardian of
his children. Pike, young. shrewd and
plain, journeys from Indiana to SCR
rento, Italy when he hears of the
proposed wedding. Around his friend

big-heartedness Of Pike in aiding a
convict to escape his pursuers, tie

poor, large families abound. The
Beers are well-to-do, but they are
very illiterate and unprogressive-and
prolific. The French Canadians are
not poor in the slum sense. perhaps,
but they are not strivers after wealth
as a race, still maintaining the happy
go-lueky attitude toward the rearing
of children which we Yankees main
tanned when we had, as they have, a
wilderness at our doors in which we
might freely live. They are illiterate,
and very prolific. The Russians and
the Central European peasantry gen
orally, are both poor and ignorant.
The rule is this. The simple life
produces large families. The COM
pick life cuts down the birth rate.
AS the Good Ship Earth spins for
ever down tho ringing grooves of
change if human beings are not
to make their lives on her decks a
hell through the miseries of poverty.
they must live more and more the
complex life, and less and less the
simple life. This is the solution OF
the riddle of population.
There must be no poverty. Some
way must be found to eliminate the
injustices which make. the inequali-
ties that doom so many millions even
in our sparsely- peopled land. to lives
of simple, stark, dead struggle for
existence. Such a. state of freedom
from poverty is possible in the
western world for ages to come, and
if attained before the people are
ground down into "the simple life,
will forever save us from a swarm
ing existence of poverty from which
once completely plunged into i we
shall have no way of escaping-ful-
filling the sordid law of Nautilus, and
carrying US down into that Amor
phous gulf" that gulf of Anarchy
whose pit is He'll" There must be
a way found through which all men
may escape from poverty.
The case of the Simple Life VS.
the Complex Life is another way OF
stating the old struggle which Spen-
Ger describes of Individuation vs.
Genesis. The complete, perfect, ano
complex Individual does not multi
ply as does the simple, small. and
limited individual. The housefiy Is

fact of size carries with it the gift
of more complex life. The elephant

vital force to multiply like the house

Way Down East" EnthraIIs
Shubert Audience With Fun
and Pathos.
REALISTIC SNOW STORM
PUTS NATURE TO BLUSH
n. H. Forsman, as Absent,
minded Professor, Wins In
stinted PIaudits.

Way Down East" with all the aids
to Elusive effect that have made
previous representations of it here
enjoyable, was ushered In for a
weeks stay at the Shubert Theatre
last night. Certainly the play, de-
spite its seventeen years of usage. has
lost none of its charm and natural
ness. 1t was greeted last night by q
capacity audience, who attested its
entertaining qualities by continued
rounds of applause
This play, depicting life in a rural
section Down East, enjoys the dis
tinction of few plays-it has been
witnessed by the average theatre
goer not once, but many times. For
this reason the story around which it
is woven is too well known to be re-
counted here.
Portrays simple Life Effectively.
The characters around which Lottie
Blair Parker has written her play are
residents of a New England country
side. They are plain people, and the
story written around them becomes
everyday life must have given the
author her theme. II portrays the
simplicity, comedy and tragedy of the
community, the purity and sweetness
which might run uninterrupted for
ever but for the casting of the
shadows of the wicked city.
This comes in the form of a cult
waited city man with more money
than morals, who has betrayed "A con-
fiding country lass under the guise
Of a mock marriage.
Homeless, she seeks shelter in the
home of country squire. Here she
is sent out in the world after her
shame is known so that she may not
contaminate the squire's son, to
whom the sins of the world are un-
known. The latter loves her, how
ever. and follows her out in a blind
ing snow-storm and finally rescues
her from death in the storm.
Lesson Sinks Deep Into the Heart.
While the lesson sinks deep in ones
heart there are variations of a re-
freshing nature and comedy relieves
the play of a sombre setting and
son is being administered in pleasing
doses.
OF more than usual interest to the
spectator is the ow-storm in the
third act Outide the squire's home,
seen through the kitchen window. a
binding storm RACES. 1t is so realis-
tic, in fact, that the spectator feels
a cold chill shiver up his or her back
every time the kitchen door is opened
and it likewise makes natures efforts
hereabouts in regard TO snow look
extremely niggard.
Mr.. Brady has chosen his cast With
care, and the result is a praisewortliy
performance by a painstaking COM
pany. Stellar honors, however, fail
to II. II. Forsman, as the absent
minded professor.
Mr.. Forsman throws his own per-
sonality into the character he por-
trays, rather than acts the part, with
the result that his Characterization is
almost perfect. The other members
of the company were also well cast
in their respective parts.

oPrIMIsr AND rEssIMIsT

The optimist says Go ahead
there's not chance to lose;
The time is now, and. on the dead
you really cant refuse
The pessimist says: wait a bit, and
look before you leap;
If there is any good in it, the chance
will surely keep"
The optimist sees but the sun, the
pessimist the rain.
The optimist prepares for fun, the
pessimist for pain.
The optimist pulls forward, and the
pessimist pulls back:
The one throws wide the throttle and
the other sands the track.
This world would be monotonous il
folks were all the same.
With no one round to raise fuss
'twould be a tiresome game.
The optmist with his glad song, the
pessimist so blue;
We really couldn't get along unless
we had the two.
