KEENEY PATRONS SEE FINE MUSICAL PLAYLET

Few musical comedy sketches played here could compare with The Little HeircSS,' Johnnie Doves clever creation now holding the boards at Keeneys. It is unQuestionably the most mcritOriOuS act of it's kind to visit the city this season and the pa irons of keoneN's are getting consid- erablc enjoyment out of it. It is a pot pOurri of mirth and melody woven to- gether in splendid fashion and pre- scnted in a most acceptable manner. MT. Dove is q comedian and dancer of exceptional ability and in this offering he has surrounded himself With some clever young ladies.
 The act is well staged and well dressed and the audience like. it inn mensely. Special praise goes to the well drilled and hard working chorus. In the galaxy of pretty girls who ap- pear in the emblcS the Misses Jane Carroll Alice Pascal and Regina Sonz arc prominent. This trio makes H most favorable impression for their singing and dancing. They are grad mates of Broadway companies who have fallen to the lure of vaudeville. The other young ladies also do their work in finished style and assist ma tcrially in making the act a success.
 'Thc Reform candidate. MaclNn Arbuckle's great play, with Arbucklo himself leading the cast is to be shown as the feature of the photOplaN pro- gram tonight and tomorrow. It is q great political play and the actors have big opportunities to display their ability as screen actors. Other numbers are "The Millionaire'S Son" and The Light Bearer two extra attra CtiOnS that are expected tO find favor.

666" AT
 LYCEUM NEXT WEEK

Lovers of meIodrama must needs reNel in the play at the Lyceum this week, Tess of the Storm Country.' just as those who are devoted to clcan-cut comedy will welcome the farce announced for next week, "Officer 666."
 Tess of the storm Country" is pleasing that portion of theater-gocr that likes the snap and vim of dra- matic action, the tense moments when death-bows are liable to be dealt, or when someone emerges the victor in a fight All this is embodied in this play of the open country, the play that contrasts the life of the rich and the life of the poor.
 Little Tess the heroine in the play from the pen of Rupert Hughes is a character that instantly arouses sympathy. In the capable care of Miss Julie Hcrne: the leading lady of the Alfred Cross Players, Tess be- comes a reality, a girl that you might expect to meet in any mountain pass or place where the ultra -conventioii- al methods of society have not been set up.
 Alfred Cross is meeting with great success in his chara acterization of the
 
 love with quaint little 'Tess of the Storm CountrN'' Because Tess is so noble hearted, because she is willing to bear the blame and take punish mcnt for the sins of others she is deprived Of this love; but in the end her sclf-sacrificc comes out all right, she and tn erich young man are brought together, and the play has a happy ending.
 The opening act of Tess of inc storm Country" is a wonderful piece Of realism. a scene in the mountains, with a lake in the background and plenty of trees and foliage in the vicinity. This is the work of the scenic artist, Maurice Futile, and pro- GuCcd under the direction of Kendall West on.

Why the Nurse Proved a Failure.

Why the Nurse Proved a Failure.
 The sound of taXicab's Whir in the street below, d ring at the bell, 1ustle of skirts, as Katie opened the door and my mother-in-laW's nurse confronted me.
 "Wil you kindly pay the taxi Griver? l understood this was hurry call. so I came in a taxi" I sent Katie downstairs with the money. and then turned back to the woman whose appearance and man Ter disliked the moment I saw her.
 She was not standing where l had left her. Indeed she was not in the room at all, but her long cloak and cap lay. across d chair beside which rested her suit case
 I walked to the door of my rlother-in-law's room where Dicl<y had been sitting beside his mothers bed. pr. Petit had been unable to set the nurse he wished. and in the time which intervened before We had secured one I had prepared and put on the mustard plasters which the physician had ordered. and had en- raSed her in the pneumonia jacket he had asked her to get. The nurse was bending over the bed. her hands Iusy with the fastenings of the pneu- monia jacket
 "Win you kindly get me a little warm water and a little olive oil ?' She did not turn her head toward me as she spoke. 'These mustard plas- ters arc not necessary with the jacket. and will get cold soon. Of course, before professional aid ar Iives one naturally wants to try the old rcmedieS.'
 Her tone was insuffcra ble in it's airy patronage. I was inadvertently glad to puncture the balloon of her self conceit.
 pr Petit ordered them to remain until the skin was well reddened." I said smoothly. 'I have only just put them on, so I do not think they can have possibly done what he wished as yet''
 "Oh." The exclamation held @mazement and chagrin, and she changed color, but she recovered her self in moment. With a delft move ment she replaced the covers over Der patient, and then stra ightened herself to her full height.
 Was NIadge "Cattish?"
 T did not know that physician had been called" she said "The nessa ge only gave your name and address,"
 '"That was my fault,' put in Dicky cpOiogotiCally. 'Dr. Pettt gave mo in" names of several nurses he knew. and then was called away. I could not get any of them, and then turned to a nurses agencE, and was given your address,"
 She favored Dicky with a flashing smile and the look of interest which ] have observed many women bestow upon my husband. Then turning to rne she said Curtly:
 T do not know Dr. Petit. Will you kindly give me his telephone rumber?" Her manner showed that she had not forgiven me for the incl dent of the mustard pastcrs.

 She stepped hastily past me on her way to thetelephone. She was rather d handsome woman, of the hOrid type. with an abundance of cllrled blonde hair done high on her head. and she possessed a. superb figure But her manner made her insuffer- able. I had seen her type before. the trained nurse who imagines that her uniform gives her the right to ride rough-shOd over any household she enters.

 The voice, faint and husky. but full of cutting emphasis, came from the sick woman on the bed. started euiltily, and Dicky sprang at once to bis mothers side.
 "I'm so sorry, mothcr." he said earnestly. The new nurses airs have rather upset us.
 They upset me. too" his mother replied grmly. "I took one look at her and kept my eyes shut after that. She won't do at all. Margaret, where's that medicine?''
 'Right here" gave her one of the pellets pr. Petit had left. and put a glass of water to her lips while Dicky raised her gently from her pillows. She drank thirstly. and then lay back on her pillows as if exhausted by the effort
 The nurse appeared at the door way. Her face was flushed with an

But if she had heard she made no sign. I decided that she must have dropped to sleep again.
 As quietly as I could I indicated the medicines and the physicians direc- tons to the nurse and then left the room. She followed me to the door and spoke in a low tone:

There are certain quotations that I find it an excellent thing to cite to myself about once in so often. One is that familiar line of Canon Far Tar, which I have so frequently quot ed to you, The only real failure pos sibe is not to have been true to the best one knows"
 Another is the equally familiar warning from Stevenson, There <: an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neigh bors good. One person l have to make good-myself. But my duty to my ncighbor is much more nearly eX- pressed by saying that I have to make him .happN-'if I may. "

 Again, 1 find myself dreaming of what l would do for some needy pen sioner if I could only sell a certain piece of work. A pleasant glow Of self-approval follows this hypothet- cal charity, and my sense of my ob- ligaton to help now, whether I sell, that work or not. is thereby dimin- iShed.

The sunshine of the last few days
has proved a boon to road improve

county and city.
Taking advantage of the mild
weather, the county commissioners
yesterday inspected roads, recently
completed culverts, sites of proposed
bitches and other improvements in

by automobile. In conjunction with
the Moody county board of commits
