and TO restore once more concord

throughout the world; praying
also to this end that He forgive
us our sins. our Willfulness and
our many errors. and lead US in
paths OF obedience, to places of

from the north have come in

most part the duck hunting is
confined to scattering fochs
which have been hatched in this
section.

THE Price She Paid"
Coming Next Monday

The attraction at the Opera
House on September l4th viii be-
nothing less than the remarkable
story dramatized. The Price
She Paid, - which comes direct
from its triumphant appearance
in all the larger cities The play
has been a veritabIe sensation on
the road, and the management,
knowing the Importance of pre-
Sentlng a competent company
has surrounded Mr.. Tom Lennon
with the best players available.
David Graham Phillips book
has been widely read and com
mented on, but for genuine
thrills and gripping characteris-
tics, does not begin to equal this
wonderful play. The story Of
the play shows definately W hat a
girl can do unassisted if she only
sets her mind on it and is built
of the proper stuff. The drama
deals with an employee of
jeWeIler, who steals
some diamonds to make good his
specializing losses, and is detect
ed in his thievery. The thief's
sister, who has long been admir-
ed by the wealthy jeweller. is
approached by him with a propo-
sition of love, her reward being
the freedom Of the brother and
ease and luxurious surroundings
for the rest of her life. She has
a scene with the jeweller in
which he tells her that he is sep
arated but not divorced from his
wife in the West, hence cannot
marry the girl, provided she
gives her consent.
He proposes that they unite
without the f)rmality Of a mar
riage ceremony, defining his po-
sltion as that Of a gentleman de-
Tending his proposition by say
ing that a few mumbled words
Of a clergyman made no differ
ence in the sight Of Heaven. |
He contends that if there is true |
love and respect, two people can |
live together just as respectfully |
as if there had been a wedding. |
Naturally she spurns the propo-
sition and is shocked and horri-
fed by the brazeness of the man
who makes it.
The play has been very care
fully written, and the characters
that one would expect to be re-
Voting in the ordinary state
offering have been considerably
'oftened. For instance, the
jeweIler is not the cold
calculating villain that he might
lave been made. Instead, he is
'ather an agreeable business
nan filled with false notions Of
marriage. He is an honest man
With distorted ideas and the con-
is that nothing is re-
,elling about HIM. Even the
dishonest brother of the girl has
.dmlrable qualities, and when
he final curtain falls on the play,
here is his sweet face left that

fleet produced by many Of the /
