Of the old Fifth regiment, Cleveland's
own infantry unit, :ow the 145th regi-

General Mike saw service on the
Mexican border and to the delight of
tho enlisted men of the las, she Is

Sheridan.
Mrs. Zimmerman goes out to the
camp every day and mingles with the
men OF the regiment to their great
joy. She possesses a gentle, motherly
nature and is ever ready with sympa-

Mrs. Zimmerman would not let them
call a doctor, but hurried into Mont

her own electric heater, and with that
a little medicine, and her own sunny
presence, the soldier was soon himself
again.
Recently, when young lieutenant

tees and applied them herself. When
still another lieutenant was i'll with
neuralgia, she procured simple rem

sought his commanding officer and
had him excused from duty. These
are only few specific instances, but
these men could tell you of scores of
similar ones, for she is only happy
when helping Others She always en-
courages the men to write to the folks

horsewoman.
Mrs. Zimmerman is an ideal wife and

Indeed, there were so many attributes
combined in this new-found Experience

personality and talent will, feel sure.

story with this statement, because If it
hadn't been for my work in stock l
should never have been able to meet the
emergency which threw me without a

the first time, 1 observed to myself:

come to Birmingham when George ".
Hobarts marvellous play, Experience,
is in our midst?'
AS a non-sectarian revival movement,
Experience" to my mind, is the most
wonderful thing 1 have ever witnessed.
1t is the Billy Sunday of the stage, if L
might so mention. Great moral max

and epigrams perform on bromide stills

that The Old Homestead used to give.
This adorable, sweet, wholesome play,
which was presented before the day of
the movies and even before the day
OF the "back-stag illusions. wrought
of screens, nets, and soft lights: and yet
tucked away into that bucolic drama
was one brief scene which was almost
modern. 1t showed the foreground of
Trinity church, you recall, when old
Josh Whitcomb came along and hoard
the dulcet notes of the organ, murmur-
ing a soft tune. Josh, you remember,
was seeking his son in the great city.
From the 1917 model point, we also know
very well that poor old Josh was way
off the track to find his boy down by
Trinity church at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, about three miles north; UP along
Forty-secon street, in THE Great White
Way" was where he would most likely
have found him. ordering a perfectly
good Manhattan cocktail, red as muir

clever, moral, new Experience I'M
