WATCH OUR INFLUENCE.
Rev. F. w. Coleman Spoke at Y. M.
 c. A. Shop Meeting.

Rev. F. w. Coleman spoke on In- huence at the Y. M. c. A. meeting at the Crescent Fire Arms plant Thurs day noon, emphasizing three points: First, what we are has g. great in fuence on those with whom we come in eontact-our real character is a power in the world. Second, what we say makes an impression for good or evil and therefore we should weigh our words very carefully for a word may be a means of Encouragement or of encouragement to those who hear them, Third, what we do counts much among those with whom we mingle- our words are important but unless our deeds comply our influence for good is practically lest, How atten- tive then should we be te the kind of deeds we perform, Our lives have these three outlets. What we are, what we say and what we do, and the dues- ton for us to think about is on. which side is our influence, on the side of good or evil, fer God or the devil. I pray your Influence may always be on the right side and that you will be a blessing to those about you

 w. S. FLETcHER's BIRTHDAY
Veteran Grocer of The Falls Is e1
 Years Old,

Thursday William s. Fletcher, the veteran grocer of the Falls, was S1 years of age and the event was noted by a family gathering at his home on Oneco street in the evening.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
May Robson in The Clever Woman.

May Robson in The Clever Woman.
 The new three-act comedy The Clever Woman, with May Robson in the premier part, kept a big house, at the Davis theatre on Thursday even ing bubbIing over with enjoyment and at the work of Miss Robson and equal ly with the intelligent interpretations given by the well chosen support with which she was surrounded. At the end of every act the curtain calls brought the principals out to acknowledge the favor of the house.
 In the part of Mrs Matthew Lam son, formerly of Omaha, but now of New York, inclined to a comfortable, if stout, middle age, and rebellion against the social career to which her husbands millions would force her, Miss Robson had a character which she assumed with perfect understand ing, while Burr Caruth was impress siVe as Matthew Lamson, the forceful man of millions. who finds that it takes the wit of the clever woman af- ter all to bring out the right solution when the son of the family clashes in his love affair with the career that his father had marked out for him through marriage.
 In the choosing of the cast there was a nice adaptation, facially and temperamentally, to the parts, and this was particularly noticeable in the case of Catherine Claredon, Ann MacDon- aid and Paul Decker. As the "nirty society f1uff'' whom Pater Lamson de- sired Lamson Junior to marry, but the latter scorned, Miss Claredon was vivaciously charming, and Miss Mac Donald was equally capable as the self possessed and efficient stenogra- pher and private secretary whose charms make an inroad upor Son Lamsonis heart. Paul Decker was the breezy, easy spending college youth just breaking into business and he captured the house with life and verve which he put into his lines and acting. The cast also included Edith Conrad, John Rowe, Chauncey Smyth. Phil Bishop. Geraldine Griffith, Roy Ardmore and s. w. McElroy.
