HARD Time FOR,
DELIVERY HORSES
Muddy Streets-'-L Long Drives
Quick Service

Although Chanute's delivery
horses are III better condition than
most town horses used for delivery
purposes it is hard for the drivers
10 keep them up in shape, with the
amount of ground they must cover,
the paved streets and hard driving
necessary for quick service. This
season of the year is claimed by de-
livery boys to be the hardest of the
year for their horses. During Feb
ruayy and March much bad weather
with which to contend. although
March is not usually very cold and
has but few billiards, the mud on
the streets that are hot paved pull
the horses hard. 1t is the exper-
fence of delivery boys, or at least
they think it is, that muddy days
are flour days and -four is the bulk
lest article of which they have
much TO deliver. 1t is also the
time when one person gives three
or foug orders in one day and
wants them sent out Immediately
with Immediately spelled with a
capital 81
Of course, this is hard on the
horses But whether the hous: -
wives are more considerate of the
delivery teams in Chanute or
whether their drivers are more care
full, ChaAute's delivery teams are a
good deal above the average in
appearance.
At Independence, according to
the Independence Press the delivery
boys blame the women for the con-
dition of their horses, and say that
though they do not like to drive
such horses they are compelled TO
drive the ones furnished them
They say the housewives have .
ounch of orders every day ano
want them before they get the
phone hnbg up.
Several Of the Chanute GroceTs
are using automobile deliveries am
the purchase of the automobile for
delivery purposes was partly caused
by the effort, trouble and expense
required to keep the horse in ic-
spectacle condition.

Although the James Sanatorum Co
has been in operation in Memphis great
number of years, and thousands have
gone forth from that institution relieved
of all necessity or demand for alcoholic
stimulants, narcotic drugs, cigarette, and
tobacco, restored to good physical con-
dltion, Charles b. James, the originator
of the James Treatment. says There
are still those who are laboring under
the erroneous impression that on enter
ing James Sanatorum the whiskey
patient is deprived of whiskey, and the
drug patient is deprived of drugs when as
a matter of fact the whislIey patient is
given whiskey just as long as he requires
it, and the drug habitue is given morphine
just as long as there is any necessity or
demand for it. The James Treatment Is
not only antidotal, eliminative and recon-
| structive, but is also supportve, and as
| consequence 1t is not long before the
| patient is eating and sleeping well, dis
continues the use of alcoholic stimulants
and narcotic drugs of his own free will,
and from the hour that the use of stimu-
lants is discontinued the patient improves
rapidly and looks upon life as worth liv-
ing. He also states that in a great many
cases the drug patient does not realize
when he gets his last dose of narcotic
| drugs the withdrawal having been made

This will be the second appearance this
season of the two clubs-the Treble Clef
and the Arion-and the third appearance
since the Inauguration of the idea of do
ing joint work. THE Bride of bunker
ron, which will be sung by the clubs
Jointly, will it is believed, delight the
audience.
The tradition of "The Bride of Dunlxer-
ron" the scene of which is the ruined
Castle of Dunkerron on the coast OF
Kerry, has been the subject of ballad
by Crofton Croker. and the argument
| is follows The Lord of Dunkerron
enamoured of a sea maiden, seeks her for
his bride. She has not the power to
quit her element, and he follows her to
her spirit home. The sea maiden leaves
him that she may obtain the sea king 5
sanction to the union, but he, with the
storm spirits, has already doomed her
| to death for loving one of mortal BIRTH
and she reappears to her lover only to
announce her fate. He, for his temerity,
| is driven from the spirit land. and is cast
| back by the tempest to the shores of
| the upper world The sea spirits lament
the loss of the maiden-the serfs, the
death of their Master.

| ganist and composer and abounds in rich
melody and dramatic fire The splendid

quency and contrasts of the solos, duets
and trios are distinguishing characters
ties of this work, and are of such merit
as to place 1t in the select list of great
cantatas which can be truly appreciated
by the cultured musicians and also the
mass of music lovers who are not edu-
Gated to an understanding of the classic
in music. Smart became blind in his later
years. and 1.-THE Bride of Dunkerron"
was composed shortly before his death. In
some of the haunting melodies the keen
ness of his suffering is very vividly pic
tured.
The roles will be taken as follows: The
Lord of Dunkerron by j. d. McGill, the
well known and thoroughly trained tenor;
the Sea Maiden, by Miss Irene Jenkins, a
young soprano who has a voice of great
promise: the Sea King, by J. w. Cox,
the baritone solost at the Church of the
Advent, and a general favorite, Mr..
Dahm-Petersen will preside at the piano
and direct the eantata, and this fact as
sures highly artistic rendition. He
stated to the clubs at the last rehearsal:
Never before during my work in Bir-
mingham have I experienced the satisfac-
ton which l shall feel in directing this
cantata. 1t is the most satisfying music
the clubs have ever attempted.
The seats are now on sale at the box
office, and the price of admission is 90
cents to any part of the house.
