it needs to be born again.
The play has beautiful little plot,
dealing with the son of a wealthy Aus
trian gentleman, Rudolph Stoeger' a
constant visitor at the "Blue Paradise
Inn" who falls in love with Mizzi, Il
flower girl. and has promised to re-
turn and marry her after he accom-
plishes his purpose in America. Twen'

married one of his boon companions.
Rudolph consoles himself by marrying

''KAT|NKA" NEXT
ATTRACTION IN
...... CAPITAL CITY
Fascinating Musical Comedy to Be
Offering at Auditorium on
February 81

"Katinka," collaboration of Otto
Hauerbach and Rudolph Friml, is the
next attraction for the Bismarck aud
itori.um The date of the production
is Wednesday evening, February 81.
Press comments speak of it as a mus
ical comedy of irresistible charm.
There is a Tilt in its measures and
subtle fascination in its song hits
that leave haunting memory. There
is an instant temptation to whistle
its engaging "Rackety Coo" It is
tuneful from the opening to the clos
ing lines and it's presentation by the
company is said to be we'll night per-
lection.
It's musical numbers throughout
recall such past favorites as Mad
anne Sherry" The play has a swing
and naivette which make it doubly
pleasing. In stage.craft and costum-
ing it leaves little to be described. 1t
has a rather stately chorus that is
able to sing and is heard to never
failing advantage.
The story of ''Katinka'' is built up
on the old Russian proverb that
"When December marries May, the
love birds fly away" ''Katinka," the
heroine is forced to give her hand in
marriage to the statesman "Borgis,"
already married. Intrigue in her fam
lily has halted her romance with Ivan,
a young officer in the Russian army.
She believes him faithless and only
after her marriage to Boris and the
ceremony of the whip, symbalic of
her abject slavery to her lord and
master do the lovers learn that they
have been tricked. Ivan and his
friend, Mr.. Hopper. a regular Amer
lean boy" abduct "Katinka" and spir-
it her away to Stamboul. where the
first Mrs. Boris is located in the har-
EN- of Abdul Pasha. Hopper's efforts
on behalf of Ivan and his sweetheart
estrange him from his wife. The eli
max to all this is staged in Vienna,
when Boris first wife denounces him,
the Hoppers are reunited and the dis
comiture Of Boris is complete.
"Rackety Coo" and "Katinka" lead
the list Of song hits. STEAMBOAT" is

st. Valentine was Christian mar
tyr He was never the patron saint Of
love. His name day, February IA, just
happens to fall on a pagan feast day
when the youths and girls of ancient
Rome drew lots as true lovers. ,a
1t was their custom to place the
names Of the young men and maids in
a box and to draw them out in pairs.
Those whose names were drawn to-
gether became valentines for year
and exchanged presents as pledges.
Later, only the men made the gifts.
But now, once more, the earlier
pagan rite of exchanging gifts is high
ly popular, as this modern fete day az
fords one of the few occasions when a
fair maid may send a present to a
man to whom she is not engaged
without breaking the conventions.
AS usually celebrated, St. Valen-
tines day is also a variant of an old
English custom which was based on
the legend that the birds choose their
mates on February IA. ....t t..
For this reason, turtle doves figure
conspicuosly in the finest of the old
valentines-and not because .'dove"
rhymes so conveniently with Glove"
The, old fashioned lace paper ele-
gancies were deliberately and artist
cally decorated with pink robed Gu
pids, hearts and darts, and true lovers
knots of pale blue ribbon; and they
contained verses of extraordinary
sweet sentimentality.
But realism has invaded-some say
has spoiled-the valentine of today.

SOUTH PROUD OF SUPREMACY.

One Missouri democrat who has become irri-
tated by the discussion of the unequal power en-
ioyed by the Southern States in congress has
thrown defiance at the republicans of the COM
try. He admits the power the Southern States
WELD not only in congress but in the democratic
national conventions. and boldly asserts that
they propose not only 10 hold but To increase that
power. Moreover. he broadly hints that the
South not only possesses the power but the
brains necessary for government and attempts
to support his claim by showing that the South
not only controls the principal committees of
congress. has one of It's natives in the White
House and has a majority of the cabinet. but also
has It's sons in high state offices throughout the
North.
I'VE have too much self respect 10 let n Nor
them republican even make political speech in
the South" he declares in effect, but our Sou
thern democrats are of such superior ability that
they readily command leading place in Nor
them campaigns and are chosen 10 the highest
positions of public trust"
| He also admits that the South secures more
than its proportion of federal appropriations
based upon ratio of either population or wealth
but asserts that the South has the power in con-
gress and proposes 20 get what il wants. now
and hereafter
/ But what particularly agtates the mind of
this particular son of Mississippi is that Calfor-
mia claims the credit for electing Woodrow vii.
son. He angrily denies the business of the claim
and asserts that the Southern States gave Will
son their votes without even pretense of a cam,
paign. while neither California nor any other
Northern state can be induced to cast its cleo
toral vote for a democrat without the eXpendi,
ture Of large campaign fund. The South, he
asserts, elected one Of her own sons 10 the Presi
lency, elected the men who control both houses
Of congress, and is entitled to and expects TO re-
ceive the rewards of victory. And he would lik,
10 know what the North either republican on
democratic can do about IT,
\ AT least he has the courage of his convictions
\ which can't be said for some Northerners
