"Henpecked Henry" at the cOIoni a
Theatre.

"rhe funniest show in the world" IS
the way the Milwaukee Sentinel ex-
pressed itself regarding the famous
musical comedy, "Henpecked Henry"
which will be given at the Colonial
Theatre tonight
Henry is one Of the most original
characters ever presented upon the
stag. You see him in the placid hu-
mility of domineered husband one
moment. and The gay and festive fol-
lower of chorus girls and buyer of
champagne suppers the next. He Of
ten breaks into a song, as do his COM
panions. and there IS not dull mo-
ment in the entire entertainment.
One scene in particular is claimed
by the management to be the most
amusing ever conceived. 1t is where
the shrewish wife finds the old sport
in gross iniquity and a funeral pro-
cession around him in the music of a
dirge. The chorus is claimed to be
one of unusual ability end good locks.

With regard tc operations on the

In connection with the higher oper-

5tateG that this increase was uue tc

WARNING ON BIRD LAW.

With the approach of the open sea-
son for shooting wild fowl, the United
States department of agriculture is
warming sportsmen that the federal
regulations as amended October l,
1914, will be strictly enforced. Some
misunderstanding has arisen from the
fact that the various state laws DO
not always conform to the federal
regulations. This is regarded as un-
fortunate, but in such cases the de-
partment must insist upon the OBJ
servance of the federal regulations.
The regulations prescribe seasons as
follows:
Open season for migatory birds in
1915 under the federal regulations.
Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Sept.
7-Dec. l.
Rails, Coots, Gallinules-Minne-
sofa, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Wisconsin, Sept. 7-Dec. l.
Shore Birds, Black Breasted and
Golden Plover, Jacksnipe, Yellowlegs
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Sept. 7 Dec. l.
Insectivorous birds protected inde-
fnitely. Band-tailed pigeons, cranes,
swans, curlew, smaller shore birds,
and wood ducks protected until Sep
tember l, 1918.
Shooting prohibited between sun
| set and sunrise.
