@THE TRAFFIC.

~IHE TRAFFIC"
The new four-act drama, by Rachael
Marshall THE Traffic." which is
coming to The Playhouse on October
Is, Is and II, with Bess Sankey in the
leading role, is by all dramatic meas
urements and all stage precedents an
astonishing production. To begin
with, "box-office policies" which re-
quire a conventional happy ending,
have been boldly ignored by both
author and producer The piece itself
is a well knit. properly balanced and
gripping consecutive sequence of ac-
ton. Its dialogue bristles with wit
and humor. it surges with passion,
storms with anger and gloom. with a
pathos as tender as heartache. In
the play, justice to working girls
while they are innocent, is the answer
to the problem, How shall we stop
the rising. tide of white slavery, the
business of cOmmercialized vice?"
Such play as The Traffic" has not
been seen before.
Only two plays running in New York
last season appeared on the Catholic
Theatre movement. One of these was
"Buuty Pulls the Strings" The other
white" play so honored is THE Things
That Count by Laurence Eyre. a
playwright hitherto unknown to fame
which appears at the Playhouse Tues
day and Wednesday with a matinee

THOUGHTS OF YOU

Thinking Of you when the freight
Filings its glow DER wall and floor
Thinking TO you when the faces
Enter the open door,
Wishing you were there among them,
Waiting ah! you little guess
What crowd of tender longings
For my darling's happiness.
Thinking of you in the darkness,
When the Ginning of the bells
Once again the bright beginning,
OF the New Years morning tells;
Wishing for you every blessing,
Breathing many an earnest prayer,
That through all the year oncoming,
God may have you in His care.

And there the girl who pretends

children brats, and declares that the

she boasts that she never puts her

him he's fooled.
He isn't, because no man ever

kitchen. A mans ideal of a wife is |
woman whose heart is bound up in
her own family, who is tender and |
loving to little children and old peo-
pie, and who knows how to do every
thing in house that turns it into
home. Why any girl should be fool

Mrs. s. T. Fletcher, which she
played with virtuosic technic and a
velocity not only brilliant, but deli

to this were the exquisite charm of
individuality and the bold certainty

in the right way a jaunt in the open
air can do him nothing but good and
he will like it and thrive on it.
An extra flannel skirt and long soft
woOlen stockings should be added tC
the clothes he wears in the house
when he is going out at this time OF
the year. His little boots Of yarn are
to be worn over the stockings His
mittens Of silk and wool are knitted
double, and his little cap is very
closely knitted of the softest yarn.
In making the cap it Is not only
closely knitted but made large enough
so that it turns back at the front.
This gives additional warmth, and as
he grows larger rapidly, allows the
cap to be turned back less, SO that he
may wear it for some time. Narrow
ribbon run through it at the nape of
the neck ties in little bow at the
back This allows the cap to be ad.
iusted to the tiny head and let out
afterward as needed. The ties are
either of narrow ribbon or soft null.
A small close,iltting silk cap may be
worn under the knitted cap
His little boots and shoes are often
made Of flannel embroidered with silk
and laced with ribbon They are cut
out of pattern and are soft and
pretty. Knitted or crocheted boots are
made with quite long tops for the
baby's outing, and fastened with soft
crochet cord and small zephyr tassels
at the ankle.
When his head and hands and feet
have been protected, he has the added
comfort Of his coat. Finally he Is
tucked into his carriage under a robe
of fur or eiderdown and the top ad-
justed to protect him from the wind
II there is any.
The baby is sometimes kept too
warm in the house, and is fretful on
this account. In steam heated apart
ments particularly, he will not need a
lot Of flannels. He must always wear
his band over the bowels, but a pin
ming blanket is not needed. He Wears
a flannel petticoat and a light slip. |
But for house not so warm, or when |
he goes out, he must have an ample
supply Of extra clothing.
lis dresses and skirts are not made
as long as they used to be. Twenty
seven inches now is the standard |
length. They ere not much trimmed,
but are made Of very fine materials
and finished with fine lace edgings,
little tucks, small sprays of hand EN-
broidery and scallops Feather stitch
ing is much admired. One who knows
how to sew nicely can make all his be-
longings In the best manner at home.

What a Steer Brings.

A. M. Pryor, of this city, has fur
nished us with some interesting fig
ures as to what a feeder is realizing
from the sale of steer at the present
high prices, and what he received
a few years ago when cattle and corn
were both cheap. Figures will not
lit, and most people have to figure it
out for themselves before they will
believe that Mr.. Pryor's figures are
correct. Taking for example steer
which weighed 1000 pounds and cost
5 cents per pound, the steer would
cost $4,000, he was fed so bushels
Of 25 cent corn, making the total cost
$1,000. He increased in weight 800
pounds and the feeder sold the 1850
pound steer at 6 cents per pound,
receiving $s1O0, and giving him
profit of $11.O0 on the steer.
Now figure again taking the same
steer Weighing 1000 pounds for
which the feeder pays cents, max
ing it cost $4,000. he feeds it 80
bushels of corn at 70 cents, $500,
making the total cost $4,000. The
increase is the same $50 pounds and
he sells, the !, 3355 3350 o pound zsteersat 10
cents per pound, receiving SIS 800,
showing he has lost just one dollar.

Reporter Published 4 Quarter
of a Century Ago.

The big exposition building at St.
Joe. Mo-, was destroyed by fire, in
volving a loss of 100000 on the
night of Sept. 18th, end Capt. John
son Foster, of Leon lost his life in
the borning building. The follow
ing account Of the tragedy is taken
from the St. Joe Daily Gazette: The
fire was discovered by night watch
man, James Grandstaff. He at once
sounded the alarm on tho main
floor and rushed upstairs and shout
ed fire" three or four times to
awaken Capt. Johnson Foster, who
was asleep in the attic or third floor
of the building, just over Art hall.
When watchman Grandstaf reached
Art hall the corn roofing was ablaze
from end to end, and as he describes
it, the blaze swept around the walls
like prairie fire in dead grass.
His calls to Capt. Foster were not
answered, and he was driven down
the stairs by the swiftly advancing
flames. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished all that remained of Capt.
Foster, few charred bones, was re-
covered from the hot embers and
carefully placed on piece of sheet
iron roofing. The deceased was fifty
nine years of age yesterday, and only
recently came from Leon, Iowa, to
accept the position of chief clerk in
the cereal department of which H..
I. Lape is the superintendent. He
had intended to make St. Joe his
home, end had directed his family,
which consists of wife and six chill
dren to come here as soon as they
could arrange matters there to make
the change. He was an educated
gentleman, very courteous, and his
death is deeply regretted by all who
knew him. Yesterday he said he
was afraiu of fire, and had rope
ladder made which he intended to
use rs fire escape. ~ seriouc ac-

Thrilling Rescue of a Team.

Cyrus Holybee and Jack Strange.
of northwest of Leon, had thrilling
adventure during the high waters
Monday. Little river was out of its
banks and team owned by Mr..
Strange were surrounded with six or
seven feet of water. The men tried
to wade out to the Hamilton bridge,
but the driftwood was coming SO fast
they could not make it. so they went
down to the railroad bridge and
crossed and finally reached the pas
ture where the horses were maroon
ed. Here they found they would have
to swim at least 800 yards to reach
them, but undaunted they entered
the water, and after strenuous trip
on account of the driftwood in the
swift waters finally by the aid OF q
wire fence reached the horses, which
were badly tangled in the wire.
They finally succeeded in releasing
the horses and swan with them to
the higher ground and saved the
horses without injury. 1t was a
perilous task but they felt pretty
good over saving the horses.
