THE THEATRES
MUSICAL COMEDY
SCORES HIT

The Spring Chicken, the musical
comedy being presented at the Grano
theatre this week under the dlrectloh
of G. ". Halliday, made a tremendous
hit last evening at both performances:
The play is entirely out OF the usual
line of work presented by the stock
Co, and in the great success OF this
they have shown their ability in the
musical comedy line. The Spring
Chicken is a. near musical comedy IN
three acts and consists Of many
catchy songs and dances.
Miss Daysie Dunno of Minneapolis
who has recently joined the Stock co.
made her initial appearance last eve
ming and won several hearty applaus-
es. Miss Dunno has a most pleasing
personality and a sweet soprano
voice. Her first number. There's a
Girl in the Heart of, Maryland, was
one of the big hits of the evening, as
was her song, The Girl of Arizona.
Other big features Of the bill are You
Made Me Love You, rendered by MISS
Irene Jeavons and with catchy man
nerisms brought down the house. An
other feature was the song and dance
by Miss Eaton and Charles Clynes In
which they dance the turkey trot. Mr..
Cassidv's parody on Break the News
to Mother also made a hit and he re-
sponded to several encores. The duet
by Mr.. Cassidy and Miss Dunno is an
other good number of the bill. =
Special mention should be made of
the scenery and costumes for the bill,
The Spring Chicken. The artists
scenes of the seashore are good, and
add to the bill. The costumes are all
pretty and elaborate, especially one
costume of Miss Eaton's, which Is a
black velvet gown trimmed with 10, 600
b%rililants, all sewed on by hand. The
gown cost $1,000 and weighs fifty-flve
pounds.
The house was packed at both per-
formances last evening n there is a
big seat sale for this evening.

FIRST N. o. HoMEsTEADER.

The newness of North Dakota was
brought to the minds Of the people of
this state in a most prominent man
ner by the death a few days g of
the man who made the first homestead
entry within what is now the bound
aries of North Dakota. 1t was further
emphasized by the statement hat the
man who made the entry was a SOL
dler in the civil war and after that
held federal and civil offices some
years before making the original No.
l homestead entry in what is now
North Dakota.
The entry vas made in 1859, or a
little more han forty-four years ago.
Most remarkable changes have oc-
CURED in this section within the life
of the man who made that entry and
who has just passed away Even his
widest day dreams could not have
pictured tie development of this coun-
try as he was able to actually witness
the reality.
He say the country. then inhabited
by a few fur traders, Indians and
buffalo, develop into one of the great
est agricultural regions on earth. He
saw the wild waste converted into
happy homes, the country populated,
brought under proper government, the
ferritory, after long years Of his resi-
dence here, transformed into a giant
young state, which has made such
rapid progress as to force prominence
and recognition for itself among the
other members Of the union.
In hundreds of ways this man saw
and lived big things and had an ex-
perience SO rich that it even exceeded
the realms of omance and fiction.
What N. e. Nelson in his lifetime in
North Dakota saw and experienced
are hut a mere forecast of the possi-
BILE developments Of the state within
another forty-four-year period. The
edge. the crust of North Dakota. has
merely been scratched. It's wonderful
agricultural possibilities have only
been crudely brought out.
What car be done in all forms of
livestock raising is just now being in
dictated by the Increased interest along
those lines, but the greatest possibilj-
ties Of development in the state lie
within the Ignite and clay forma-
tons of the western half of the state.
which will make this state within the
next half a century the greatest man
ufacturing region for brick, claws,
flour, butter, cheese. potteries, tiles,
and other articles in the entire United
States.

three decades to put down the Daisy
Miller tradition. Ten thousand Amer
lean girls visited Great Britain before
the people of the nation learned that
American girls do not say 'mommer'',

from dining room doors.
The American man has never who'll
ly escaped the odium which attaches
to that class of American men who
offend here at home as they do the
people of distant places by their loud
their boastfulness. their percent
agal intelligences, and their conviction
that everything has it's price.
The American girl has lived down

Puns Of Famous Men.

New York Tribune: The pun as a
form of wit holds no very. high posi-
ton in the estimation of most writer's
and -humorisrs. Nevertheless, many
outstanding figures in the history of
English literature have not refrained
on occasions from turning punster.
Theodore Hook nee Dragged that
he could make a pun on any subject.
"Well, then" said a friend. make
one on the king" i t.
THE king is no. subject" replied the
wit.
To al similar boast Douglas Jerrold.
a fellow clubman replied: Gan you
make a pun on the signs Of the
Zodiac?" ID
BY Gemini, I can, sir!" was the
doubled-barreled retort. .
DR.. John Watson, better known as
Ian Maclaren, was. another wag who
boasted of his facility for punning. At
a dinner in London. where many lit
erary men were present. he asserted
that he could make as good a pun as
any one in the room. The challenge
was accepted. Thereupon, DR.. Watson
assumed a serious mien and appeared
lost in thought.
Come now, Watson!" exclaimed
Hall Caine. 1--WE are all waiting"
quite So" flashed back the other,
"but please don't be in such a hurry,

work properly, the other organs cannot
readily be brought back to health and
strength.

sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten Thousand
deaths in 1912, in the state OF New
York alone. Therefore, 1t behooyes us
to pay more attention to the health OF
these most important organs.

Mexico, relying on her enormous
superiority in armament, has chosen
to interfere in our time-honored meth

Ihere was a tense silence. Then the
secretary Of the interior, who was
known as a peace-loving man, said
earnestly: ~

country into a disastrous war-disas-

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Officials Who Never Learn.

Philadelphia Record: What a pure
nation we would be If the public
morals were regulated by the Ellis
Island officials No e~scapades for
grown men and women under pain of
exile from the country, suffragettes
silenced, and all political suspects
from other lands denied admission to
the United States. There is something
humorous. but doubtless also very ir-
ritating in their latest performance in
barring out the Hungarian emigration
commissioner in America because,
while on a visit to Budapest, he
fought a duel with a compatriot. For
years there has been a sad lack Of
common sense among u immigration
officials, leading to constant appeals to
Washington. In the case of Mrs.
Pankhurst, President Wilson had to
exercise his authority in order to pre-
vent the nation from appearing in a
ridiculous light. These examples Of
executive good sense ought to have
some effect at Ellis Island, but they
never seem to.

This Is Barbarism.

Detroit Free Press: For days re-
ports have been coming from the Mex
lean border that the American COM
manders at Preside have been dis
arming fcderalist army refugees from
Ojinaga and have been driving them
back across the Rio Grande in q de-
fenseless condition to become the prey
Of their own enraged officers or Of
Villas rebels. The latest statement is
that 800 rifles have been coutiscated
in his manner
Since there has been neither denial
nor explanation Of the charges. it is
no more than fair to assume that they
have a substantial foundation in fact.
The conduct of the American troops
toward Huerta's soldiers demands
prompt investigation. The country
wants to know who is responsible for
the orders which permit such barbara
ties and what eXcuses these persons
can possibly offer for their course.

An Anti Russian Premier.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: CASTOR
Doumergue, the new French premier,
is not known outside of his own ma
ton. He has no noteworthy achieve
ments to his credit, and his personality
is neither picturesque o striking.
Doumergue has two claims to dis
tinction. In the first place he has sue
ceeded in building a cabinet out of
wholly radical material. Owing to
the multiplicity of parties in France
such a ask is extremely. difficult, and
a cabinet thus formed gives small
promise of durability. The new pre-
mier's second claim to fame is his out
spoken opposition to the Russian alli-
ance to which official France is COM
mitted.
He is undoubtedly the spokesman of
a large section Of the French people
when he intimates that the alliance
with the Russian ~despotism is no
credit to the French republic.
On the whole, one must admire M.
Doumergue's position. The Russo
French entente may be desirable to
maintain the balance of power in Eur
ope, but it is by no creditable to
France. 1t is not creditable to any
,liberty-loving nation to be the stated
friend and ally Of the nation which is
at present the worlds greatest foe of
popular liberty.
