"The-the people seem quite angry,
Mr.. Keenan," she said.
"They have right to be-" answered.

A NEW COMEDY AT APOLLO.
"ohl Imogen" With Marie Nordstrom In
The Leading Role.

STEPPED in the flower of Old New York
when romance was the first consideration
of mankind is the new comedy in three
acts by Harry James Smith which the
Messrs. Shubert offer at NiXon's Apollo
Theatre, this Friday and Saturday eve
nlngs and Saturday matinee, with Marie
Nordstrom in the title role.
Mr.. Smith, who has furnished the stage
the best there has been in drama for the
last decade, having supplied Mrs. Fiske
with Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh" the most
successful vehicle of her career, brings
now to the stage a fresh theme in his
unique story of the daughter of a retired
actor of a yesteryear,-a girl SO shell
tered from the actualities of life that she
lives in a dream world of her own Gre
alton until forced into realities by a sue
cession of amusing situations evolved out
of her ignorance.
The play is an absorbing love story
presenting also the interesting study of a
woman's development into her highest
fulfllment and affording in her metamor-
phosis unparalleled comedy situations.
Surrounding Miss Nordstrom is a cast
of specially selected players including
Wyndham Standing. Charles E. Werner.
Ralph VI. Remley. Kate Mayhem. Elene
Foster, Catherine Webb, and Eleanor
Brady.
The play is staged by Frank McCor-
mack who has transferred to the boards
the charm of atmosphere and quaintness
of sartorial effects of the mid-Victorian
period.

occupied by a family named Adams. The
other house was occupied by Mrs. Ire
land, but she was not in it at the time.
Philip N. Bessor, cashier of the Chelsea
National Bank, iving in an adjacent
house, saw smoke curling from under the
caves of the Adams house as he was
dressing for the day. This was at seven
o'clock. He hurried to the street and
turned in an alarm, to which the Pleas
antville Fire Company responded. Bessor
then notified the Adams family that the
house was on fire. BY this time the
flames had spread to all parts of the up
per story of the house, and the occupants
were unable to save any of their belong

When the fremen arrived both dwell

was discovered that no water was avail
able, and the chemical apparatus was put

the iremen turned their attention to the

HERE'S A NUT TO CRACK;
TRY YOUR HAND ON CONTEST
THIS IS THIRD INSTALLMENT

The Missing Word Contest, Pages 4 and 5,
appear for the third time today. We have
the biggest job on our hands that we have
ever had. 1t has reached mammoth proper
tions, and SO much so that We have been
compelled to get assistance. The mail man
says it looks as though Christmas is starting
early, because of the vast amount of mail he
has to deliver to this office. These are the
letters, or answers, to the missing word con-
tests.
People in all walks of life are after the
elusive words and the $4,000 in gold. Then
there are hundreds and hundreds who find it
real enjoyment looking for and finding the
words who do not want the money. But on
the other hand there are just quadruple the
number who want the long green, or the real
gold. Many of the merchants who7have ads
on the pages are after the words and gold
too. Their children and wives think so much
of the proposition that they are on the hunt
for the elusive word every night. It's the
missing word contest wherever one goes. It's
great and getting greater. Don't take our
word for it, just ask your neighbor.
Some are asking the question. rs it too
late to enter the contest?" We positively
answer, no. The reason we say this is be-
cause every one is about even up, finding one
week and losing the other. You see, too,
that there are eight gold awards or prizes on

in gold. If you should fail on the first prize,
then you have a chance for the second, or
third, fourth, fifth. sixth, seventh or eighth,
and so on. Be a good winner and see how
much better you will feel. You can win, but
you must get right down to work.
The missing word last week taken out of
a certain advertisement in Contest Page 1
was DEAL, and was omitted from the ad-
vertisement of Lake & Risley Co, taken from
between the words square" and to. This
week we have put the word back. Look up
the ad and see whether or not you were
right. The missing word removed from an
ad on Contest Page 2 was GET and was TAX

The word missing from Contest Page 1
this week begins with w and ends with NJ.
The word from Contest Page 2 begins with
W and ends with L.
Now then you have it, so off you go again
on another hunt for the next week.
If you want to win a gold prize, you had
better do so, as scores of others have done,
fill out and cut out the subscription blank
found on another page and send it to this
office, then you will get The Pleasantville
Press regularly with both contests in.

THE WAY TO

In the days of the old stage coaches the
Rev. Peter Mackenzie had an appointment TO
preach one Sunday in a village called Even
wood, in the county of Durham, about three
miles from the village of Gainford where
the coach stopped. Arriving late one Sat
urday night, he asked someone to carry his
bag and show him the way. A man named
Bobby, the half-wit of the village, was sent
with him to show the way and carry his
bag When they got so far on the road,
Bobby, a man rather troubled with asthma,
asked to sit down and rest. Whilst he was
resting Mr.. Mackenzie asked him what he did
for a living. The man replied that he groom
ed the coach horses and cleaned the harness
Bobby then said, And may I ask what you
do for a living, for you look in good condi-
ton. You do not work much to all appear
ances." oh, said the Rev. gentleman, u
am a preacher of the Gospel, to teach sin
ners the way to heaven - to which Bobby
replied. a nice fellow you are TO teach
anybody the way 10 heaven and don't know
the way to Evenwood."
The good Peter Mackenzie has long since
gone to his rest. Thomas Buffers, of thi,
city. has heard him preach many times.
