DAVIS THEATRE.
Real Treat All Next Week.


 Opening plays at the Davis theatre by Whiteside Strauss company, Paying the Penalty and The Parish Priest
 Patrons of the Davis theatre will be favored with one of the biggest and most complete stock organizations next week that has ever' visited this city. The acting company is unusually strong and it is necessary that it should be, as the plays presented dur ing the week will require capable act ing people. Each play presented is staged in the most complete manner possible, and on Monday evening all who see it will wonder that such 8 production can be presented in a. high class manner at popular prices. Long continued success is not VOuched to be dependent on popular favor unless un- doubted merit lies behind all ones eff forts. This is proven by the ephemeral character of the success attained by stage favorites. The public is a tickle mistress and will not stand for medic crity or monotony and it is only Nthe unprecedented genius and the variety of constant change that will retain public favor for any length of time.
 The success for a number of years of the Whiteside Strauss company is the strongest proof of Dan Babcock as a manager.
 Perfect productions are given of the latest and most popular metropolitan productions, with a first class com pany and a scenic and property dress ing not equally given to plays except when special productions are made
 The repertoire of plays includes Paying the Penalty, For Old Times Sake, Northern Lights, The Shadow Behind the Throne, The Girl from the Ranch Just Plain Molly, The Cowboy Millionaire and the great Japanese play, The Typhoon. Paying the Pen alty will be the bill for Monday night Seats on sale at the box office Satur- day morning.

POETRY
A LOOK AHEAD.

 She had captured the ballot at last, Had the militant damosel fair, But when votes were about to be cast Was the seminine suffragist there! Nay; she stayed in her flat, Softly weeping: This hat Is a thing that's too ancient to
 wear!" T am freeY' was the cry of the dame. And her husband said; Isn't it
 fine?' So she asked for for tt fifty. the s,,t;ag same But he hadn't the coin.
 So his wife couldn't join In the feminine balloung line. "Oh, our yoke has been lifted, in
 truthw
 Twas a woman reforner who spoke; But she didn't appear at booth And we learned from her family folk That she stayed In the house Just because her new blouse Was very bad 1t In tho yoke. 1T will strike for the life of my sexT- Said the spinster with optics aE4ow; But she didn't appear with her specs In the waiting electorate row; She had stayed from the polls Cause her tootsicums soles Were a Trifie too big at the toe. At the polls I'll be glad to appear. Said the woman as red a,s a roseS But the truth of the matter is clear I've forgotten to powder my nose; And I'll also adduce
 As an extra excuse There's the tiniest hole in my hose" Mir Anti your victory's plain At the balloting time in the town; Do not order your wife to refrain: You may keep her with grace From the ballotlng place By refusing to buy new gown! John O'Keefe, in the New York WOTlH

Faulty Digestion
-Immediate Action Necessary Try Mi-o-na.

When you feel irritable, tired and espondent-when you have nervous twitchings, specks before the eyes, headaches, sour stomach, heartburn, indigestion and pains in thescolon and bowels-you suffer from indigestion, which soon develops into dyspepsia the chief cause of nerve exhaustion you need Mi-o-na at once.
 Mi-o-na is a specific for stomach weakness-it goes to the seat of your trouble and quickly and surely ends stomach misery. It builds up and strengthens the stomach walls and glands, improves quickly the digestive system, then the vital force and nerve energy are restored and strength and good spirits come to the discouraged, rundown and weak.
 Do not suffer another day. Get a fifty cent box of Mi-o-na Tablets at your nearest drug store-keep them with you constantly, for this treat ment will help you get we'll and strong and immediate relief is sure. Do not delay-delays are not only dangerous but needless. If not benefited Mi-o-na costs nothing. Sold by The Lee & Osgood Co. and all druggists

COLONIAL THEATRE.
The Sacrifice at the SpiIIway, Written
 by H. o. Hoyt, Norwich, Ct.

It is not often that Norwich has the opportunity to witness the perform ance of motion picture drama writ ten by one of its citizens, but today the Colonial will present The Sacrifice at the Spillway, written by H. o. Hoyt of this city. This thrilling story of life along the canal, presented in two reels, is but one of his many successful un- dertakings, and the Kalem company, having previously presented others of his writings, were not slow to grasp this story, which tells a story fraught with splendid attention to detail, over flowing with thrills and scenic beauty. It is to be seen in all it's perfection for today and tomorrow only at the Colo nia1 and reflects great credit upon this local writer of motion picture hits IowIin' Jones, showing how an Eng Tshman becomes westernized is an other feature, while there are three other stirring films on the programme today.
