QRNIQuS OLIVER

'I have always been taught, de- clared Obvious Oliver to The Pessl- mist. ito get ample change before l visited a circus. When I was a small boy the coming of circus was the sign for the distribution of halves. quarters. dimes and nickles among the merchants; for we didn't believe in taking any chances with the show sharks.
 "I followed this course when. Sells Floto came to Bisbee. At the ticket wagon put up my fifty cents and got a pasteboard for it. At the reserved seat box l did the same thing and sometime during the afternoon l lost a dime. What I meant to tell you, though. was about two gentlemen from Cananea, John Beckham and Martin Cannon No circus man has anything on them.
 "Beckham and Cannon were just ahead of me in the line at the ticket. window. John reached into his pocket and pulled out dobe dollar. Two, he said to the man at the window. He received two tickets. l followed the pair to the reserved seat wagon and the performance was repeated. An other Mexican dollar, worth about fifty cents in gold and nothing in Ar1- Zona except for souvenir, bought two reserved seats at fifty cents each.
 q didn't say anything to either of the men but followed them into the i big top and, as luck would have it, sat immediately next to them. pea nut butcher crawled over me and in vited Beckham to buy pack of his wares. Beckham brought forth Mex ican nickle. which looks like an Am erican dime, and bought two sacks of the gubers. Next an ice cream cone man spilled the contents of a contain CT on my foot trying to get into the danger zone. He succeeded, however, | and gave up two bits of ice cream for ! another Mexican five cent piece. The balloon man was around by this time and Beckham bought two balloons. By this time they were announcing the appearance of Jess Willard. Beck ham whispered to Cannon that he would like to bet little (MeX) on the champ but l was on to him and pretended I didn't hear The seller of ! tickets. at 25 cents each. for the big athletic after show. overheard the re mark and hastened to our side.
 "1 don't want to bet said Beck ham, but I will buy some tickets He handed the salesman another dollar | (Mex) and took three tickets and two bits in change. He gave me one of the tickets and I thanked him. On ! our way out of the tents Beckhan
 found he had another Mexican five cent piece and seeing a child on the shoulders of one of the animal care takers, Beckham asked if the youngs
 ter didn't belong to the circus. HC was told that the small boy was the managers son. The Cananeaite pull
 ed out his remaining Mexican coil and handed it to the urchin. oh lookie,' squealed the kid. That man gave me a dime.
 Tt was too much though, and
 went over to look at the monk cage
 to see if that portion of the circu:
 had any savee about it. l figured |
 out what Beckman made the circus
 for-$136 gold. l would hate to tel
 you that I paid more for my owr

PLAY OF CHILDHOOD AT LYCEUM NEXT WEEK

mere are four acts in Kate Douglas Wlggin's wonderful drama of Maine life, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" which will be presented at the Lyceum next week by the Alferd Cross Play CTS and in each one of the scenes pre- Sented there is some one particular feature that appeals to the heart of every true and loyal New Englander.
 The first act depicts the brick house at Riverboro, where little Re- becca is brought by the old stage. driver and given in care of the two old spinsters. It is at having time and there is liberal opportunity to ge, the atmosphere of the countryside The second act shows garden and wonderful. little cottage belonging to becca, but who cannot pursue his sen tments because of her youth. Then in the third act comes the famous barn scene with the horses and the cattle and the poultry. To make things realistic the Cross players have arranged for a real Dobbin who will be among those present on the stage. The fourth and last act is a beautiful front door setting showing the steps of the old red brick house.
 When the curtain goes up on the first act Monday night New Britain theatergoers will see a rejuvenated company. There will be many new faces among the players, a notable addition to be little Janet Hubbard. the young daughter of Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard. Miss Hubbard will be cast Clara Bell Simpson, one of the play mates of Rebecca. Mrs. Spissell, mother of the little girl who won such favor by her portrayal of the five year-old child in The Prince Chap" will play opposite to Mrs Hubbard as one of Rebecca's maiden aunts. Flor ence Hart will be cast as Mrs. Per kins, the wife of the village black smith. She it is who furnishes most of the gossip of the play. Miss Julie Herne will play the beautiful charac- ter of Rebecca. The new second man who will take the place of Eugene Webbcr who goes to Hartford this week, has been announced as Fred erick Smith of New York. MT. Smith will play Abner Simpson, and William Ennis will be cast as Jeremiah Cobb, the old stage driver. Philip Sheffield will be seen as the chore boy. Miss Munigle and Miss Bray will be cast as two of the children in the play, and Alfred Cross will have the one best chance of his career here as Adam Ladd who, to Rebecca, is MT. AL ladin." The play abounds in all the little sympathies and sentiments of childhood.

Judge Not

On tho trolley the other day I was the interested audience of a rather peculiar little drama.
 A woman in a very pretty coat of some rich, soft stuff trimmed, got on the car and sat down beside me. I noticed that as she sat down, she arranged her coat with the greatest care.
 At the next stop a woman with a little boy got on and sat down be- side the lady of the lovely coat. She Was Afraid the Little Boy Would
 Touch Her Coat.
 The little boy wanted to kneel on the seat and look out of the win dow, it was one of the oldfashioned cars). His mother permitted 1t, and l saw the lady of the lovely coat glance at his rusty feet nervously and draw her coat closer about her. See ing this, the mother laid her hand over the child's shoes and held them away from the coat. So they rode for d few blocks until something excited the little boy and he gave q Wriggle which brought his shoes almost into contact with the coat.
 The lady of the lovely coat could stand it no longer. but rose to her feet. The mother of the little fellow at once made him sit down, grown-up fashion. He didn't like 1t, and his lip uuivered. He was an engaging little fellow, and it was plain the sym pathy of the car was with him. ..Stuck Up People Shouldn't Ride On
 The Trolley
 People that are so terribly stuck up shouldn't ride in the trolley car, | heard tho woman on the other side of the mother remark.
 "Yos,' sighed the mother; people that have plenty of money and fine clothes don't seem to have much use for children. I suppose she has a lap dog instead of d baby in her home.'

HOLIDAY FEATURES KEENEY'S TONIGHT

The big photodramas, both ap- propriate for Holy week presentation. are prominent on the program at keeney's for tonight and Saturday. Better selections for features for this season could hardly be made and the general merit of the films should be recognized by capacity houses on both days.
 One of the principal numbers in the Lasky version of Temptation as interpreted by Geraldine Farrar and a select company. The film tells the story of some of the prima don- mas personal experiences in her climb towards the top of the operatlc ladder. It is a big attraction and it commands attention.
 Dividing the top position with it is the Knickerbocker contribution to the program, "When Might is Right" with Henry King, the popular star, heading the company. There will also be the Essanay drama, "Her Naked Soul' and some good double reel attra ctions.
 One of the best musical specialtie> offered here in months is the act ot the Five flarmoniStS, playing at Neeheys this week. These people are skilled musicians and their play ing of brass instruments is particu- lariy fine. They have been finding great favor every day.
 Mccarthy and O'Neill also offor on act that is worthy of attention Thov are capable entertainers and inc kecney patrons like them. Tho HalIidays colored entertainers. arc also among those present" lbi.. week.
