Was attended. not only by Denison
people, but by large number from
the country and surrounding towns.
Everyone was we'll pleased with the
production and some were Of the
opinion that it was the best play ever

en- for his part and the choruses,
ranging in age from little tots six
to eight years of age to eighteen to
twenty, added much to the charm of
the fair. The stage was set In regu.
lar county fair style with the booths
for pop and apples and other refresh
ments, presided over by Miss Verne
Stocking and Jacob Gable: sideshows
with Charles Kemming and Clarence
Schwartzenbach as sideshow barkers.

applause from the audience.

The members of the sideshow pre-
sented themselves In turn outside Of
the booths as they were introduced
by Boss Greene. Mrs. Carl Richard
son, the snake charmer, charmed her
audience and brought horror to their
minds as they pictured the work of
her profession, while Miss Kate Sill
letto made a very pretty and graceful
Japanese performer. Miss Willetta
Strahan attracted q large number to

W0olston appeared as Amy, the fat
wonder of the crazy village" b0wing
ficulty he emerged into view. He was
simply immense and SO jolly and COM
ical that he brought forth peals Of
laughter and hearty applause.
At the opening of the fair amid the
shouts of the barkers, the proprietors
of the fruit stand and the calls Of
Giggling Sal, Mrs. G. L. Caswell ap-
peared on the stage. Mrs. Caswell,
as Mrs. 81 Perkins, played her part
in most realistic manner and In q
motherly way looked after the welfare
Of all the little tots who visited the
grounds. She appeared on the stage
looking anxiously about for her little
girl, Sally, who had become lost in
the crowd. Sally, Mrs. r. p. Conner,
was soon found and proceeded to ex-
claim over the merry-go-round and de-
manded something to eat at once. Mrs.
Conner could not have improved her
portrayal Of Sally in any way and af-
fOrded much amusement throughout
the entire fair.
!, Later Uncle Josiah Virgins (Waldo
Kahler), with his wife, Aunt Sarah
(Mrs. Penney, arrived with their
large pumpkin to put on display and
enjoyed themselves and entertained
everyone else with their questions
concerning the fair. The sympathy Of
everyone was with Aunt Emmeline
(Mrs. Geo. McHenry). when she ap-

no hopes of restoration to his usual

favorable outcome of their renewed

their ability to resume the aggressive
shows strikingly the advantage which
the possession of strategic railroads
gives warning power. 1t is the Opin
ion Of British observers that the Ger
mans are determined to force the In
vaders from East Prussia, and that
they are striking two blows, one from
the north and the other from the north
west, in the general direction Of Plock
and Kutno, with the object of paralyz-
ing the Russian advance along the
southern frontier of East Prussia.
Dispatches from Petrograd, convey
ing Official reports, say that the "bril-
liant and unexpected" seizure of Jo-
harrisburg SO disconnected the Ger
mans that their offensive movement
along the Warthe river was started
prematurely. Russia is reticent re-
garding the success Of these move
ments, while Berlin reports them as
progressing favorably.

Petrograd reports the first Russian
reverse ct the hands OF the Turks by
admitting that superior force Of
heavy artillery compelled the Russian
advance to halt on its march to the
Desebcyun range Of mountains, which
protects the city Of Erzerum in Turk
ish Armenia. Koprukeui, thirty miles
east of Erzerufns which was won by

the Russians.
Bienna announces the continued
advance Of Austrian troops into the
Balkans, with the occupation Of Val
jevo after q stubborn battle.
Paris declares officially that condi-
tions are stationary along the west

es set forth that there has been heavy
fighting around Yypres and renewed
attempts by the Germans to cross the
User between Nteuport and Ypres.
The actual situation in Crac0w is
becoming one of the many enigmas
of the war. One report has the Rus
SLAMS actually investing the town,
which is declared to be in flames,
while several reports have reached
London that the Germans have left
the. defense Of Cracow to the Austri-
ans, who in their turn are expected to
surrender rather than have the city

that in all likelihood Queen Mary viii

The social aides Of the Embassy
have been making regula~ reports to
the English Queen on the state ~

Paris society if its women continued

The early reports, it is understood
