 The sketch by Henry keane and com pany called .'The Unexpected' heads the vaudeville bill. and it is brimful of entertainment from beginning to end.

"The Beauty Shop"

While Raymond Hitchcock is missing rom The Beauty Shop" this tunefal and amusing musical comedy which opened an engagement at the Jefferson theatre last night, retains it's colorrul settings, bright lines and most of it's entertaining qualities
 The piece wears well, better in fact than the average run of such shows, which deteriorate after one or two sea sons before the public. The action, talk ing place for the most part on the Island of Corsica, with the introduc..on of comic vendetta to help out the fun, permits of picturesque costuming and scenic effects. Musically, it is one of the most delightful of the musical comedies

HEALTH FOUND IN GARDEN

Strength and Vigor Are Certain.

To the man who woos her earnestly
nature offers store of unexpected
gifts. Our thousands of amateur gar
deners who have put in the leisure
hours In their little garden patches
have begun to realize that one Of the
biggest rewards of their hbors may
not be the actual produce they will
obtain, valuable as that may be, but
In the less tangible results on their
own bodily and spiritual welfare
There is health in the soil of Mother
Earth. The perspiration that results
from your labors is carrying away no1
lous elements from your blood
Strength and vigor come from contact
with the soil. In this kinship to the
earth is found one reason that nearly
all Of our greatest men have been
country-bred boys. It is why farmer

able than youths reared in cities. Dc

failures from not knowing the how and
why Of things, but there is Joy which
cannot fail.
The miracle of planting a seed and
seeing the growth, though a common
thing, contains joy and food for the
heart. Gardening not only brings nour
ishment for the body and food for the
mind, but it expands the soul.-AIil.

LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
DinIeult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
English Writer, In Describing the
Aged Queen Alexandra. /

There Is no more difficult lesson for
a woman to learn than that of learning
how to forget that she has been beauti.
full" writes clever English woman.
zone afternoon I saw Queen Alex
andra driving slowly in her open motor
through the gates at Hyde Park cor.
ner. For the first time it occurred to
me that this rarely lovely queen is now
an old woman nearing four-score years
of age. Perhaps she had forgotten to
be alert, as Is her usual custom, or per-
haps the heat Of the day had fatigued
her. But at any rate there was
touch of tragedy In the thought that
Queen Alexandra is learning slowly,
but surely, that extreme beauty can
fade although the charm Of person,
atty can challenge the attack Of time,
II fancy it must have been the queen
mothers costume that brought this
idea most surely before me. She was
wearing mantle or cloak made Of
some material in shade Of iridescent
blue spangles with a close frilling Of
black lace all round the edge. Her hat
or bonnet was Of the usual royal shape
and built of jetted stuff to match her
cloak, with a small white aigrette
standing erect in front.
under ordinary circumstances one
would regard this quaint nineteenth
century toilet Of the queen mothers as
a characteristic conventionahty, but
somehow on this sunny afternoon 1t
represented to me a sacrifice to the In
eYitable."

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
Blamed for Planting Hoofs In Back
Of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made q mistake
In not knowing whom she was kicking
or it was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew Of tobacco,
Fred Wales Of Grass Valley, CAL, who
carried his arm in a sling for some
time as the result of q kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule is known to every en-
ployee Of the mine, $50 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have
wholesome respect for her in spite OF
her contrary disposition. It is a mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, it is Diff
ferent. He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. He excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions of a spoiled child.
It Is merely a matter Of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians Office he took Of
Tense at suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account Of her
viciousness and rushed to her defense.
1T was perhaps my fault; it certain
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did not
know who 1t was when she kicked or
had forgotten to give her the usual
chew Of tobacco. I am willing to take
all the blame"

LEMONS MAKE SKIN

MAKE THIS BEAUTY LOTION FOR A
FEW CENTS AND SEE FOR
YOURSELF.

What gin or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
b emishes: to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty ? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating,
a I'd should be mixed with orchard
white this way. Strain through a
fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons
into bottle containing about three
ounces of orchard white, then shake
well and you have whole quarter
pint of skin and complexion lotion at
about the cost one usually pays for a
small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be
sure to strain the lemon juice so no
pu p gets INTO the bottle, then this
ton will remain pure and fresh for
mont " hen applied daily to the
lace, neck arms and hands it should
neIp to bleach, clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

HE BLAZED NEWSPAPER TRAIL
Young Ohio Printer Established In.
dianapolls' First News Dlssemlna-
tor In 1922, In Log Cabin.

The first newspaper published in
Indianapolis was the indianapolis Ga
zette, started in January, 1922, by Ma
thaniel Bolton. a young printer who
came from Ohio. He was born at
Chillicothe, once an Indian town, and
later for a few years the capital Of
Ohio. He learned the printers trade
there and moved to Indianapolis d
year after the capital was located
there. In reminiscent address many
years later he said:
"The Gazette was established in q
buckeye log cabin Of but one room,
part Of which was occupied for fam
lily residence. 1t was printed on new
type. The ink was put on with balls
made of dressed deer skin stuffed With
wool. The balls, when out of use,
were kept soft by the application Of
raccoon oil. There was no post office
nearer than Connersville, distance OF
60 miles; but a private mail was es.
tablished and person employed to go
to Connersville every four weeks to
bring the letters and newspapers. In
February, 1928, the presidents mes
sage, delivered in December, 1922
came to hand and was published in
the two or three succeeding numbers
Of the Gazette. During the year 1922
a United States mail was established
and in a short time we had our mail
from the East every two weeks, unless
detained by high waters" A year
after starting the Gazette Mr.. Bolton
became mail carrier. In his reminis
cent address he says:
"In 1923, having received a contract
from the postmaster general, pro
ceeded with the first United States
mail north of Indianapolis to the theD
recently deserted village Of Anderson
town. A post Office on the route was
established at the home Of William
Conner, four miles south of Mobiles
VILE, and there was another post Office
at Strawtown, prairie Of consider
able magnitude, where many remains
of the Indian village that had been 10
Gated there were still standing"
