TAKE A TIP
AND SEE PEG
D MY HEART

When real human interest, a play
that appeals to the masses as we'll as
the classes, is scheduled for presenta-
ton in this city, it is a pleasure to an
nounce it's coming and encourage our
theatregoers to patronize it. In this
instance the commentator goes for
the engagement of Oliver Morosco's
play of charm, Peg O. My Heart"
which comes to the Opera House to-
night.
Probably no play produced on the
American stage in the past decade has
created so much favorable discussion
from people in all walks of life as the
Manners interesting comedy. This
has been emphasized most conclus-
lively by the large attendance accorded
this attraction everywhere, and by the
glowing tributes in the press reviews.
The action of the play, which takes
place in England, tells of little care
lessly raised Irish girl who, when she
is transplanted into an aristocratic
home of unknown relatives, meets with
chilly reception. She is unwelcome
and tolerated simply for the income
they derive from her, a legacy left her
by the will of a wealthy uncle, she
finally overcomes their dislike and

Peg" has undoubtedly been one OF
the most successful comedies of recent
years. It's great prosperity is attribut-
ed largely to the charming principal
character, which J. Hartley Manners
has created-a native, Irish-American
girl who contrasts so refreshingly
with her convention-bound English
relatives.
Miss Rea Martins charming per-
sonality so naturally fits the part of
Peg, and as a result, the comedy has
had as great a following in the cities
she has played in as it had in New
York during it's phenomenal run.

BETTY GETS A CHANCE.
Red Cross Seals Helped Her to Gel
Well.


She was real pretty and so full Of
fun that the dimples were always
showing In her round, red cheeks. Her
eyes were big and brown, and her nut
colored hair curled naturally In ht:ie
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was lust eighteen when we first
met her and SO neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the we'll to do class Of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
The red in her cheeks was the flush
Of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown eyes
saw only squalor when they were not
fixed upon a typewriting machine or
closed persistently to any view but an
imaginary bright one.
The room we entered was general
living space. used also as an eating,
cooking and sleeping apartment. There
was but one bed, and Betty had to
sleep In 1t with her mother, who was
too weak to sit up. An open cuspidor
sat where It would be conveniently
near the bed. which placed it by the
stove, where their food was cooked.
The mother. who was suffering in an
advanced stage of tuberculosis, did not
like cold air. and her querulous de-
mands caused Betty to keep the door
and windows closed.

laugh, that isn't SO bad as not having

mother died. Is 1t worth while to save

with base on balls and an error
Again in the second inning both

should made mere. In this inning
both clubs got three singles and one
base on balls, but one run was The
best they could do.
Thomasyille was the first club to
tighten up, however, and, after get

pretty support. The Pilots also tight

third to the seventh inning neither
pitcher gave up a hit, and in most

Really, though, isn't it a pleasure
to witness a game so free from
wrangling and scrapping? 1t Is true
the jumps was badly off on balls and
strikes yesterday, but still, the play
ers just gave him credit for having
a bad day and refrained from con-
tlnuous kicking. But, oh, il it had
been Waycross!
The writer OF "sportitorials" has
not yet had one word of criticism
against single umpire that has beer
seen here this season though some
CT them have been badly off. An UNI.
pre-, you know, is Just as liable to
nave bad day as is ball player.
Collins had one yesterday on balls
and strikes. Not one mistake, or two
did he make, but dozen or more,
and, while he appeared to try to be
fair, most of the decisions were
against the Pilots. He called Par
ker out on a third strike in the sixth
inning when the ball missed the
plate by a yard, Dudley having to
make fancy catch in order to even
stop it. Bast either had the umpire
or the grand stand one, badly fooled
with his benders.

Here is a new price on a competent
Adder. On machine that is rapid,
full-size and infallible.
The very latest machine built by
men who know, in one of the largest
Woodworking shops.
1t is an individual Adder, to bo
placed on ones desk, close to ones
books and papers. To take the place
of the central machine requiring
skilled operators.
1t is also intended for offices and
torres where costly machines are a
luxury.
The price is due to utter simplicity,
and to our enormous output. Seven
keys to do all the work.
Each copied number is shown
ep for checking before the ad-
dtion is made.
The machine will add, sub
tract, and multiply. With very
slight practice ayone can COM
pute hundred figures a min

makes mistakes.
Countless offices, lar.-e and
small are getting from these
machines the highest class Of
service.
