HIGH GRADE SHOW.

When Charles Klein wrote "The
Lion and the Mouse" he delved into
great problem, which he solved in a
splendid dramatic way, holding the
GREATNESS interest of his audience
throughout and making of the play a
gigantic success. Since its production
by Henry B. Harris, Mr.. Klein con-
stantly sought a fitting successor
equally as convincing, and his ability
to do so, coupled with his year or so
of inactivity, led to the belief that
"The Lion and the Mouse" would re-
main his masterpiece, but his later
play, "The Third Degree" by its in
Simultaneous popularity and the
amount of publicity it received
through its attacking a vital subject,
proves that his quest was not in vain.
AS the title implies, the play is
founded on the brutal police system
of inauisitorial investigation, some
thing we hear of in mysterious indi-
rect way, but about which few OF Us
ever know anything, at least first
hand. The drama deals with human
emotions and the attitude of the pol
ice toward suspected criminal, and
while it treats honestly of this theme,
it does not reek with crime and Grim
inals, as the title would lead one to
believe. Withal it tells a powerful
story, human, clean and real, and is a
fitting companion to its predecessor,
"The Lion and the Mouse"
The date set for the appearance OF
the "The Third Degree" under the
management of the United Play Co.,
(Inc) at Sank Centre is Saturday,
April 25.

Eugenic
Marriage in
Wisconsin.

On January 1st, the new eug-
enic law went into effect in Mich.
igan. The new law provides that
marriage licences shall be issued
only to those who present certi-
hcates from reliable physicians
testifying that they are sound in
all physical respects. The exam
nations for these certificates are
very rigid. Certain laboratory
tests are required. and some of
these will take up considerable
time to demonstrate thoroughly,
and besides are very expensive
because OF the various reagents,
apparatus and time required.
The State Medical Society of
Wisconsin is opposed to the mea-
sure as the fees allowed are in
adequate. and the tests not prac-
ticable for ordinary use, but we
believe 1t would be a good law
ifpractised throughout the entire
country, and the great benefit
the future genererations would
derive from same,

a crushing defeat upon bis
Italian foes at Adowa. In this
battle, the Italians lost over six
thousand men, while the natives
lost about half that number.

the report on the Carey Act Pro-
Jects OF Idaho made to the State
Board of Land Commissioners by
5. D. Taylor. Carey Act Land
commissioner. 1t is a very
worthy report, and well worth
the reading as it gives very valu
able information regarding the
workings of the farmers Carey
Act within our one state. Very
few even of our own citizens are
cognizant OF the vast irrigation
schemes within our borders, or
OF the unbounded wealth unclos-
ed from barren soil when it is
reclaimed with the life giving
water.
1t is asserted that the Carey
Act has already brought $1OO.
100000 to Idaho; it has add
ed $4,000. to our population; it
has added nearly 5000 new
farms to the state. and has put
nearly $4,000 acres under actu.
al successful cultivation, land
that was previously unproduct-
i've waste land.
Our Gem State has made
more progress in reclaiming
arid lands by irrigation under
Carey Act Projects than all the
other Carey Act states put to-
gether: furthermore they are
nearly all successful. Our per.
centage of failure is the loves
OF all.
Ne have more water available
for irrigation than any other of
the so-called arid States"
The Carey Act has been a boom
to our State, and we are not
slow to admit it.

THEY TWO
(Mr. and Mrs Mecham)
They are left alone in the dear old home
After So many years,
When the house was full of frolie and fun,
Of childish laughter and tears.
They are lief alone, they two-once more
Beginning life over again,
Just as they did in the days of yore,
Before they were nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these days.
The children went one by one
Away from home on their separate ways.
When the childhood days were done.
How healthily hungry they used to bel
What romping they used to dol
And mother-for weep;ng-can hardly see
To set the table for two.
They used to gather around the fire
While someone would read aloud,
But whether at study or work or play
Twas loving and merry crowd,
And now they are two that gather there
At evening to read or sew,
And it seems almost too much to bear
When they think of the long ago.
All, well-ah, well, It's the way of the worldl
Children stay but little while
An then into other scenes are whirled,
Where other homes beguile;
But it matters not how far they roam
Their hearts are fond and true,
And there's never home like the dear
old home,
Where the table is set for two.
