Spencer and Mason Emerson. It's a
nice little plot that the authors have
woven into their story of 1T Pays to
Advertise" A wealthy father has
wagered $4,000 that his son can make
more money working at a regular
Job" than can the son of another
wealthy man. Both fathers are in the
soap business. Father No. l succeeds,
with the assistance of his pretty sec
rotary, in getting his son to 60 to work.
She is to be the inspiration because

Then the Cossacks were ordered to
charge down the street. Most of the
East Side actors" were ignorant of
what to expect, and when they saw
this troop of their ancient enemies
swarming down upon them with drawn
swords their terror was unassumed.
Women who had been separated from
their children in arranging the scene
screamed and tainted, and the action
of the episode was SO realistic as to
require no rehearsal. Even after it
was all over the directors had diff

Siders and two of the "Cossacks" were
roughly handled by mob of excited
men and women for having pretended
to knock down and stab some of the

A swift moving bill has been gotten
together for the new show at the Co.

Manager Blanchard has his finger on
the pulse of the public. Vaudeville

Americans of note were ever more

These facts are a matter Of history
and were related very generally at the
time by members of the staff of both
of the great generals. General Grant
was too much of a soldier not to ac-
cept General Lees surrender when
ever or wherever it might be tender
ed, and his high instincts as gen.
tleman would not permit him to do
otherwise, although he may not be ap-
pareled according TO strict military
regulations Everybody knows that

in his manners, and at the same time
adhered when possible to the strictest

of his rank properly but modestly dis
played. There is a reason for this, as
shown in the pageantry, and all the
more so, because it is in accordance
with history. General Grant did not
expect General Lee to surrender until
the day after the confederate leader
presented himself at the union COM
mander's headquarters. In other
words, General Lee took Geral
Grant somewhat by surprise, and this
accounts for the difference in dress of
the two commanders on that historic
day in April, 1865, which brought to
