ssTHE ONLY GIRL
At Baker Grand, Natchez, Monday,
October 3Oth, 1910.

Joe Weber offers the charming mu'
steal comedy, "The Only Girl" which
ran one year in New York, being one
of the very few big hits of the Metro
politan season.
"The Only Girl" lie primarily play
In three acts by. Henry Blossom to
which he has added some brilliant and
sparkling lyrics which have been set
to music by Victor Herbert, the grest-
est of American composers. 1t was
produced under the stsge direction of
Fred G. Latham. 1t was Herbert and
Blossom who together wrote "Hlle.
Modiste" and "The Red Mill" and the
combination of these two men has
been singularly productive of worthy
musical plays.
In 1.-THE Only Girl" Mr.. Blossom has
provided a book which contains q con-
sistent and we'll told story with char
acters that are drawn true to life and
constructed not at all along the lines
Ut conventional comic opera. There
is young librettist hero of the story
who is at work on new book, but
who lacks composer to collaborate
with him. He hears q strain of music
c)ming through the open window of
his apartment and at once feels that
it would be just the theme for his new
comic opera. He hastily sends for the
player whom he discovers is located
in the apartment just above his own,
out to his surprise and dismay the
musician is q young girl and he il q
woman hater.
IN sheer desperation, however, he
oranges with her to write the music
for his new opera, but only after All
agreement that their dealings shall be
wholly of . business nature and that
the young lady is to be treated just as
G rough SIZE were . man. OF course,
this arrangement does not work out
and the young author winds up by
falling desperately in love with his
fair collaboration. This IL but faint
idea of what is contained in Mr.. Bios.
som's book and to this has been ADDED
a musical score composed in Victor
Herbert's very best vein.
Some of the numbers which have
proven most attractive are, "When
You're Away" "Personality" and
"Tell It All Over Again." A brilliant
caste will be seen here. and chorus
Of stunning show girls arrayed in ex.
pensi. e and gorgeous gowns.
A special orchestra Is carried by the
Company, the members of which have
been selected by the composer, Victor
Herbert.
Seats ordered by mail of Manager
e. M. Clarke will get prompt atten'
ton.

AMERICA SOON TO
LEAD WHOLE WORLD

1T seems to me that the OUT
standing feature OF the Euro
pean war is that at the end of
the war America will stand
without a rival as the richest
nation in the world, the only
really great nation whose won
erful resources will remain I'M
impaired and which has not
been robbed of millions of its
best youth. The centers o I
power will be in America. the
financial capital OF the world
will no longer be London but
New York, and it is likely that
here the great steamship lines
will be owned, il our capitalists
are given the right kidd of en-
couragement by the govern
ment. 1t is our greatest OPP
portunity to re-establlsh the
American merchant marine.
The streams Of European
immigration will largely cease,
because Europe will need her
own boys and girls and will
hold them. Our own population
will become consolidated and
thoroughly American. w e
may not increase in numbers
so rapidly as we have been
doing but our population will
be an American-horn n d
American-e educated opu-
lation. The twentieth century
will be the great American cen-
fury, IN which American art
and literature and American
business will lead the world.

lMPORTAN t THINGS
GIRLS SHOULD KNO "

There are some things not
always taught in schools that
every girl should know. One
Of the most important is to be
careful what kind OF company
she keeps. The size of the
bank account has nothing to
do with the character. A man
may be a millionaire, yet be
unfit to associate with a pure.
minded woman, while the poor
mans son who has worked
with his hands and brain to pay
his way through college, and
who is honorable in all his
dealings. is worthy f t b e
friendship and esteem OF any
woman, no matter what is her
position in society.
She should know that one
hundred cents makes a dollar
and'learn to keep her expen-
ses within her income. even if
the income be small. This is a
business principle that is con-
ducive to happiness and peace
OF mind all through life.
She should know how to
make her own clothes. sew on
buttons and darn or mend any
thing that needs it. This know
ledge will be more useful than
the ability to do fancywork.
She should know that a plain
dress that is neat and becom :
ing is more ladylike in appear
ance than one Of expensive
material that is not we'll cared
Tor.
She should knoM how %
care for q house from cellar to
attic, whatevea may b e her
station in life. The wheel Of
fortune makes some rapid rev.
olutions, and the rich man Of
today may be the poor man of
tomorrow.
Ia demeanor she should be
modest and ladylike. quiet of
speech. yet with a hrmness
that will enable her to say yes
and meen it. or no and stick
to it. These are a few of the
many lessons learned in the
great school of-humanity.

THE EMPTY LETTER BOX

On a certain morning every
week in thousands of homes,
mother says, "Hurry off to the
post office; father! This is letter
day. A n d father doesn't
need to be told twlce-he goes.
Mother stands in the door
way. watching for him as he
comes into view at the bend of
the road, waving an envelope
above his head. Her eyes are
luminous-love. joy. eagerness
all are there. She straightens
her apron a bit aud runs to
meet him.
The letter may be addressed
to both, but does father open
it? Never! Smillngly he hands
1T over to mother Why? Fa-
ther always does that. He can
not get it out Of his dear old
head that mother should have
