LIFE'S COMBAT

It's fun to fight when you know you
are right
And your heart is in il, too
Tho the fray may be long and the foe
be strong
And the comrades you have are few
Tho the battle heat bring but defeat,
And WEAKNESS makes you reel.
There's a joy in life that can know
such strife
And the glory and thrill you feel.
When the wise ones pant that you
simply can't.
It's fun for fighting man
To laugh and try with a daring eye.
And prove TO the world that he can.
And If you stick till your heart is sick,
And lose when the game Is done,
It's fun TO know that the weary foe
Paid dearly for what they won.
It's fun to dare, in the face OF despair,
When the last lone chance seems
gone.
And to see hope rise in the angry
skies,
Like a promise of rosy dawn:
For victory's sweet when il crowns
defeat.
And you learn this much is true
It's fun to fight when you know you're
right,
And your heart is in it, too
--Berton BralCy.

MYSTERY Wells
WOMAN'S DEATH

4 veil OF mystery still continues to
shroud the killing of Mrs. Kelly
which occurred at Rawhidc two weeks
ago. Notwithstanding the effort 0f
those connected with the occurrence
to minimize the reports that have
leaked out. the impression gains force
that there Is considerably more behind

one OF the participants in the affair
was in Fallon last week and when
questioned stated that thcr" was

ever. the character OF the numerous
wounds on the woman's head and body
as disclosed at the corOner's inyestiga-

ton that an attempt is being made to
cover up the real facts.
From all accounts that bay,
reached the outside il Is very appnr-
ent that there exists in Rawhidc a
strong pro-Gcrman sentiment that il,
this case has boon given fOrCiblc cX-
preston. Whatever may be said OF
the private character or habits OF
the dead woman. there is every rca.
son for believing that she was the vic

"Everywoman' is not sermon in dis guisey It is not a quixotic effort to elevate the stage. It's intent is to furnish pleasure and entertainment to all classes of playgoers-hence the music, the songs, the choruses, the dances, the spectacular and scenic effects and the realism of ev- everyday life. The play is fascinating blend of drama. comedy, opera. ballet, and spectacle The costumes were made from original drawings by Fly. Mayer, the cartoonist and magazine. illustrator The company is large one, 150 people being required to give versimilitude to the many big scenes.
 When President Wilson witnessed Turn to the Right at the New Ma tional theatre in Washington last Jan uary, he sent for John L. Golden, one of the producers, after the second act and complimented him upon the play Mrs. Wilson likewise expressed her ap- .preeiation. Others in the audience were Secretary and Mrs McAdoo. Miss Mar garet Wilson. Secretary of War Baker, Gen. and Mrs. Mann and Dudley Field Malone. The company that appeared in Washington opened at George M. Cohans Grand Opera house.

 One of the appealing features of Klaw & Erlanger's production of Miss Spring time,' the one big musical comedy triumph of the past theatrical season in New York and Boston. is the series of stage settings designed and painted by Joseph Urban. This master artist of the theatre is said to have surpassed in bril- liancy and effectiveness, in this instance, all of his previous efforts. The coming of Miss Springtime'' to the Jefferson will give our theatregoers their third opportunity of viewing an Urban produc- tion.
