COMEDY HIT
 AT LYCEUM MONDAY

Enthusiasm has been greatly aroused over the announcement that the Alfred Cross players are to put on musical comedy and that the first ve- hicle in which they will appear will be The Talk of New York" one Of George M. Cohans greatest successes. The many lifting songs contained in this comedy asure it's success. and with the capable chorus that is re- hearsing every morning at the Lvce- um there is no reason to doubt that the play will meet with approval, A big audience is expected to greet this show Monday night.
 ''The Talk of New York" is the se- quel to "FOrty-five Minutes from Broadway the play which first in troduced to theater-gOers that ininhi- table character, Kid Burns" with his quaint brand of humor and his convincing slang. In this later ver- sion of Kid Burns career he is shown in more flowing light than on his first time out. Now, he is the pol ished slang artist, the man who wears good clothes and hob-nobs with the best of society. But as ever he is al- ways master of every situation. Don't let 'em put anything over on yuh, kid", is the way he figures life
 Alfred Cross will assume the role of Kid Burns. Philip Sheffield will have number of songs to sing. Prac- tically the entire company will be re- tained in the production with a change here and there necessity calls Will liam Ennis who has won favor with local theater-gOers for his admirable work is impersonating plain-clothes men will be given a part entirely new to him but one which is calculated to prove him one of the biggest hits of the season. One Tuesday night all the ladies who attend the perform ance will be given a picture, an au- tograph, of Philip Sheffield.

brave people do not seem to have the courage to own that they were wrong. l have known people-mcn especially, I think this is particular ly a masculine fault-who would do almost anything rather than own {; n so many words that they had been wrong. They would try to make up 10 you by being unusually kind aud thoughtful, but when it came to say ing, II was wrong; I am sorry" there they absolutely baked.
 There Are Other People Who Depend | Too Much On Apologies.
 Of course there is another tyne of person who seems to think it doesn't matter what he does if he apologies for it afterwards. Over and over again he will offend in the same way and then expect you to freely forgive him when he says he is sorry. though you know all the time the same thing will happen again.
 People like this have only them selves to blame when penitence wears thin and their apologies are ungraciOuSly received. They know how they can earn a more gracious response.
 But to the person who is apolo- gizing for an offence that one has no reason to think will be repeated, one owes a decent gracious re- sponse for ones own sake. To re- spond ungra ciously is to prove ones self a boor.
 Humble pie is the most disagree able eating in the world. Be sym pathetic enough to help it down with the relish of your gracious re- ception.

WONDER SHOW AT
 GRAND THEATER

The burlesQue season at the Grand Manager Moe Messing has procured a show which is out of the ordinary, as the first attactiOn fO the summer sea- on. It is a mystery show pure and simple and those who like to delve into the mysterious will be baffled to their hearts content by the remark able program which will be offered The visiting attraction consists of a big travelling organization headed by three noted artists in their respective lines and billed as The Three Stars of Mystery"
 The program is divided into three parts. The opening will be by the Great La Toilette, Europc's foremos transformist in a unique imDersona- tion of the worlds leading magi- clans. He will first give his own sleiGht of hand performance then impersonating Beautice De Kolta, he will produce the musical omelet.
 Part two of the program will be in the hands of Eva Fay, whose work is well known to Hartford people al- though it has been five years since she was seen here. Mrs Fay has been called the high priestess of ''Thauma- tursy.' Mrs. Fay in her performance rapidly calls the names of those who have written questions for her to an SWer and in a most tcrse manner sine give@ the desired information.
 The third and last part of the en- tertainment will be provided by Rush Ling Toy and his Oriental wonder workers. The Chinese are said to be the most adept men Of mystery in the world and Rush Ling Toy was for soV- eral years, it is said, Royal entertain CT to the Imperial Court at Pckin. He carries a most beautiful set of Chi nese scenery which is an exact repro ductiOn of the throne room at Pe1ln. Thousands of dollars worth of beaut- fuI imported gowns and tons of bag gage and other equipment is carried. Among the acts of mystery which he will perform are The Burning Sac rifice" and "YOi KOi YOi'', the Chinese immigration mystery.
 The Grand plans this summer to give a series of unusual shows and next weeks attra cton has been booked at a great expense. The usual Grand the ater prices will prevail and, as usual, women will be admitted to the daily matinees for ten cents.

High Water Drives
GOphers Into Fight
Of determination

The report was brought to this city
today that the high waters which have
inundated the lands along the river
bottoms have drowned thousands of
gophers and moles and driven others to
the higher grounds. A farmer who was
in this city today tells of one instance
where the rising water drove all Of the
gophers and mOles toward a knoll in
the field and as the water closed in
around the knoll the rodents came out
Of the ground and the top Of the knoll
was alive with them. AS the water
cut down the area of ground the little
animals began to fight among them
selves and $50 dead ones were found
who had died from the wounds in
flicted by their fellow flood victims.
II was not stated how the fight
started but the war of determination
began as suddenly as the battle of
ancient mythology among the soldiers
who sprang from the Dragon s teeth
sown by Jason. 1t will be remem-
bered that the last man to stand up
cried "yictory" before he succumbed
to his wounds but it appears that a
man in a boat ended the Battle of the
Gopher hill with a club and did not
wait for them to kill themselves.
The Marion county court has of
fered a reward Of $25 for information
leading to the arrest of any parties
convicted Of importing gopher and
mole skins from Polk county where
the animals are seeking new quarters
on account of the floods.

GETS MORE
SYMPATHY THAN EX-
CONVICT SAYS DAVEY
Prisoners at State Penitenti-
airy Count Officials As
Natural Enemies

"There is plenty of sympathy for
the man inside the state prison, but
very little after he once gets out, -
said Frank Davey, clerk of the Ore
gon state penitentilry, last evening in
an address before the Pilgrim S club
of the First Congregational church.
Mr.. Davey is of the opinion that no
prison in the United States is far
ther advanced along the lines of pris-
on reform than our home institution.
In fact, the word 'cOnvict" is never
uttered. The correct word is "prison-
err. No bad language is allowed.
At present the penitentiary is TAX
ing care of j4S men and six women. In
stead of feeling a friendship for the
Officers, Mr.. Davey thought that fully
95 per cent of the prisoners were in
sympathy with any prisoner who vic.
lates the rules, or attempted to escape
or endeavOred to circumvent the man
agement of the prison. No prisoner
who values his life will give infOrma-
tion regarding another inmate.
The present penitentiary has many
bad features, and one of the worst, ac-
cording to Mr.. Davey, is the fact that
/ prisoners have 10 employment. With
the present state laws, the state can
not compete with free labor, although
the products of eastern penitentiaries
are scli here.
"NO management can be successful,
unless employment is given the pris-
oners. Idleness makes them hard to
handle, said Mr.. Davey. "We should
provide some kind of mlnufacturing to
pay its way and keep the men busy
Regarding the privileges of the pris-
opers the speaker said that the mar
ried men were permitted to write once
a week and the single men once a
month, and even Oftener, but there was
J no argument in favor of the unlimited
writing privilege.
The dungeon in the prison is used
only in cases of murderous assaults
within the prison walls and is merely a
dark room. The Saltwater, Minnesota
prison, said to be the best equipped
penitentiary in the country also pos
sesses a dungeon, and is regarded as a
necessary part of any state prison.
"Not one out of 40 of the prisoners
believe the officers are their friends, "
said Mr.. Davey, "They nate the
guards more than others as they come
in contact with the guards"
The school question came up thls
month, and Mr.. Davey told how 500
cards were printed and given to the
prisoners, asking whether they would
like to attend a school. OF this mum.
Der, only 200 of the 554 prisoners took
the trouble to make a reply of any
kind. But with this start of 200, the
prison authorities hoped to soon estab-
lish a school, and nave taken room
in the old foundry shop and fitted it
up. The best educated prisoners will
become the teachers and later on Ward
en- Minto expected to call on some of
the principals of the city schools TO
see that things were started right.
"Our prisons are filling with young
men between the ages of % and 30
and these are mostly under sentence
for obtaining money under false pre-
tnses," said Mr. Davey. "The de-
sire to get something for nothing, is
filling our prisons"
