PLAYS COMING NEXT WEEK

a very. timely drama is promised al
the BelaSco Monday night in Tho
Story OF the Rosary" by Walter How
ard The play has excited unusual in
tes-esE because it's plot and characters
are so suggestive OF the war now raging
ON the continent. 1t tells Of the Red
Dragcons' call to the front, the hastS
marriage Of Capt. Paul Ronlain and
Eenetta Won Sabran, the clash of arms,
the disappearance Of Paul, the artlf1ces
of his rival and the return Of the hero
as his bride is about to take the veil.
Mr.. Howard and his company produced
the play with great success in London
then. in August, brought 1t to New
York. where its staging as the mrs:
war play of the season aroused en-
thrsiasm. The company includes Mr
Chris Walker. George Desmond and
Marjorie Day and others.

Of an amused and interested public IN
The Dummy" which is coming to the
Columbia Theater next week. RarneS
Cook is Western. Union messenger
boy, whose eager dream of life Is TO
be "detectuY." He has the wisdom
of the streets. the loyalty OF a hero
worshfper, a Rowery VOCABULARY. and
the heart Of a gentleman-and he is Just
fourteen.
The likes Of him answers when you
ring in q call for a district messenger
or q Western Union boy. Therefore, Is
Barney significant beyond the play and
the theatrical season III which he ap-
pears, or the magazine serial in which
he first came into being. or the book
in which his creator, Harvey ol1ig-
gins. Is Just now putting out. For, like
Nick Carter and Huckleberry Finn.

strongest and most vtrile that has come
from the pen of Mr.. Klein, who has

have been produced in this country,
Coupled with this is the fact that
Charles Mackey and Lillian Kemble. the
were especially selected to play the
principals in the big drama during its
production on the road after it's long
New York run. 1t will be seen, there
fore. that the two leading parts are in
the hands of people who are able to get
the very best out Of them. The other
members of the company are also as
happily cast. as most of them are thor
oughly familiar with the parts they are

With the Invalid.

A nursery ice box in the sick room
is a convenience not only to the in
valid but to the nurse. A bottle OF wa
ter can always be kept there on hand
for drinking. Milk, too, can be kept
on tap, and otherrfood can be stored
there from day to day. Any tin box
can be made to serve as nursery
ice box. If you have an old bread box,
use that. Put pan in the bottom Of
it, and lay wire cake tray, the sort
that you put in the oven to hold cake
or bread tins, over the pan. Put the
ice on the tray, and the melting water
will drain into the pan. This, of
course, must be emptied whenever it
is full. Put milk and water in the
bottom of the box, and put other
things around the ice, on the wire

Governor-elect Stuart of Virginia,
who was at the Raleigh, has travelled
in every nook and corner of the Old
Dominion, and he knows thousands OF
voters we'll enough to call them by
their first names, says the Washing
ton Post. The governor was down in
one of the southern counties not long
ago. He has lot of friends in that
section, and one Of his particular hob
bies is the promotion Of the social
welfare of the negroes. A prosperous
looking darkey ventured to shake
hands with the governor-elect. where
upon Governor Stuart remarked:

Growth of Libraries.

The multiplication of public free
libraries in recent years has convert
ed the annual meeting of the Library
association from an enjoyable family
party into an immense and formal
conference. The change Is not exact
ly of yesterday, but it comedies more
or less with the burst OF library build
ing stimulated by the munificence of
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. Judged by the
amount of public money expended
upon them, Libraries take rank now
among our leading public services.
Whether the good that they do is a
fair return for the expenditure upon
them is more open TO doubt. It is
= sound ideal, and indispensable to a
real national culture. that every con-
siderable town should possess a CEN
trail reference library, at which would
be scholars and students of any sub
ject may, as far as possible, have &C.
cess TO all books Of serious value.
