Big Show Promised Soon.

Final arrangements have been com
pleted for the appearance of Milton
Schuster and the Graces of Musical
Comedy in this city. The date is Mon
day, Nov. 9Th. The local engagement
will be at the G. A. R. Opera House. A
scale of prices never before approached
for smallness considering the size, merit
and reputation of the attraction, will
prevail during the stay of the company
here. In explaining the extremely
moderate scale the proprietors of the
attraction declare that big Shows at
Little Prices" is at present the dollar
making byword in the amusement bust
ness.
The fact that the company remains
several days in one city means an elm
nation of ,sixty-five per cent of the ad-
vertising and railroad charges attendant
on the usual one night stand attraction
This fact alone enables the management
to offer the usual dollar and a half at
traction at radical cut. The Girl from
Brighton will be the first of the graces
to be offered On succeeding nights

Equals a Pound Of Beef.

Those who wish to substitute otheE
foods for meat often desire to know
how much of the substitute is neces-
sary to replace a given amount of
meat. If only the proteins of the meat
are considered the following will give
a general idea: Two and one-half
quarts milk, one and one-fourths pound
fresh lean fish, three-fourths pound
dried fish, two-thirds pound ordinary
cheese, somewhat less than a pound
of mixed nut meats, nine eggs, one-half
pound shelled peanuts, or two-thirds
pint dry beans, peas. or lentils is equal
to a pound Of beef of average COM
position.

'EGreat is mans skill in handling en-
gines of force; marvellous mans control
of winds and rivers; wondrous the mas
terry of engines and ideas. But man
himself IS greater than the tools he in
vents, and man stands forth clothed
with power to control and influence his
fellows, in that he can sweeten their
bitterness, allay their conflicts, bear
their burdens and surround them with
the atmosphere of hope and sympathy.
Just in proportion as men have capacity,
talent and genius, are they to be guard
ians, teachers and nurses for men, bear
ing themselves tenderly and sympathet-
ically toward ignorance, poverty and
weakness. All the majesty of the sum
mer, all the glory of the storms, ali the
beauty>of the galleries is as nothing
compared to the majesty and beauty of
a fullorbed and symmetrical manhood.
Should there be In every village or city
a conspiracy of a few persons toward
this refinement and culture, this beauty
of living, the mere presence of such
persons would transform any com
munity. -Newall Dwight Hilles.

OBITUARY

Yocemento, Kans., Nov: 4, 1914.
Another great bereavement has come
to US in the:death at Newago, Michigan,
Oct. 26, of Mrs. o. E. Atwood, dearly
beloved mother of Frank H. Atwood of
this place, and widow of the late lament
ed o. E. Atwood whose demise occur
red four years ago.
Mrs. Atwood will be well remember
ed by all early settlers of Ellis County,
having lived on the Atwood ranch sew
eral years and for seven years made
her home with Frank Atwood at their
present home. Several months pre-
vious to her death she made her home
with Orville Atwood at Newago, Michi-
gan.
Mrs. Atwood has been member of
the Baptist church since girlhood and
lived a devout christian life. Though
deeply afflicted she was ever patient
sufferer. She was one of those sweet
motherly characters whose very pres
ence seemed to breathe benediction
and blessed are they who fell under the
influence of her gracious inspiration.
To know her was to love her and to
know her better was to love her more
Among those left to mourn her death
are her sons, Frank H. Atwood of-Ellis,
Kansas, Harry F. Atwood of Chicago,
H., and Orville E. Atwood of Newago,
Michigan; two sisters, one brother, two
grand-daughters and many cousins, be
sides host of admiring friends.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Oct. 81, the body was then
taken to Chicago and services were held
at the Baptist church where she attend
edimany years, and interment was made
at Mount Greenwood cemetery where
her husband, daughter, son and other
relatives are laid to rest.
There is no death, what seems so is
transition,
This life of mortal breath elysian
Is but the suburb of the life
Whose portal we call death.

BeHmOn-WaSng.

Fair skies looked down upon q merry
wedding party In Russell, Kansas, at
high noon on Wednesday last. Mr..
William BeIlman of Hays, and Miss
Katheryne Wagner of Russell, were
married at the brides home. Miss
Carrie Wagner, the brides sister, as
sisted as maid of honor, while Mr.. Ed
Wurtz assisted as best man to the
groom. The stately measures of Lob
engren's wedding march, played by
Mrs. West, accompanied the bridal
party into prepared apartment where
the beautiful ring service was perform
ed by Rev. West, the brides pastor.
A royal banquet had been prepared
and was spred before the fifty or
more guests who were present, many
of whom remained for the day. 1t was
a delightful gathering, full of good
cheer and hearty congratulations for
the happy couple.
Many beautiful and useful presents
were received.
The young people are well known in
Hays and have many friends and we'll
wishers. We add our heartiest con-
gratulations to those already received
and prophesy that happiness viii pur-
sue them when they take up their home
in their country residence north of
Hays.
Now is the time to buy nice hat on

Comedy Element Strong in the Girl
from Brighton.
It is asserted that the comedy element
in the Girl from Brighton which will be
seen at the Opera House on Monday,
Nov. 9, is by far the most ludicrous
boasted by any musical comedy of re-
cent seasons. Milton Schuster, the star
and principal comique, is recognized as
being on q par with either Barney Ber-
nard or Alex Carr when it comes to
butchering the English language and
numbering melancholy. Schuster is
especially funny in his scene with his
''prop" cab horse and when he attempts
to impersonate dying Roman gladia-
tor. Schuster is ably assisted by four
other comedians who, were their lustre
now dimmed by the presence of the star
himself, would each shine with an efful-
gence of no mean magnitude.

MANY BEAUTIES WITH GRACEs

Big Musical Comedy Company has

as that promised with The Graces of
Musical Comedy, an impending attrac-
ton at the Opera House, Monday, Nov
9Th. The Graces have long boasted a
handsome gathering of dancing girls
and from advance pictorial information
it would seem that this season the man
agement has outshone itself.
