I'm Old Kentucky

The story of "In Old Kentucky"
which comes to the Opera House
on Monday, March IL, concerns
the fortunes of an interesting
group of people representative of
the mountain and bluegrass re-
gions of Kentucky. The lonely
nountaineers, with their strong
loves and stronger hates, their
bitter feuds rivalling in vindic-
.tiveness the Corsican vendetta, yet
elevated above bloodthirstiness
by a sense of religious duty, is
clearly set forth and seems all the
more unique and strange in con-
trast with the peaceful, pastoral
characteristics of the bluegrass
country.
About the fortunes of the hero,
a handsome, chivalrous young
Kentuckian, is woven web of
love, treachery, hate and revenge,
from which escape seems impossi.
BILE. There is the ever-fascinat-
ing story of the man whose past
is Swallowed by great crime and
whose after life is struggle to
evade the pursuing Nemesis.
Many scenes of Kentucky life are
: introduced, genuine echoes from
The plantation--the play, the frolic
and the music of the darkies-the
throng, the excitement and the ac-
claim that attend the close of a
famous race, which is represented
in an entirely different manner
from any other race known to the
stage.

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain said Sir Walter Scott's
heroes didn't seem human-were hard
to get acquainted with, much less to
chum around with. There was no
warmth or companionship In the Wav-
erly clique. And yet, when Mark
Twain was in King Arthur's court, he
ran around mostly with the younger,
impressionable set, and about all he
had to do with Launcelot and Gnlahad
was to get into quarrels with them.
And after Mark rescued King Arthur
from slavery and death. they seemed
MS cool toward each other as If they
had merely been out on three weeks
fishing trip together. One begins to
wonder, says the Kansas City Star,
If Mark met Ivanhoe and the Waver-
ly boys half way when they were In.
troduced. or If he merely put on those
uppish airs which he showed so brazen-
ly in the Vatican and at the tomb OF
Abelard and Heloise.

Interesting Letter
From ChaS. Coleman

Jan. %, 1918.
To the Idaho Springs Red Cross,
My very good friends:
Many are the trials of soldier
ing, yet there are pleasant moments
such as mail call. especially when
our name is called, and in answer
to it an unexpected gift is received,
such as yours to me.
II. is these remembrances that
put heart in we fellows over here.
We are assured that our fighting
is for a good cause.
Up to- the present we have not
seen the result of the work being
done by the Red Cross society, but
if their work is as efficient for the
wounded and sick as is the work
being done by the Y. M. g. A.
our praise of the Red Cross will
always be our topic of conversa-
ton on our return home.
Altho the unit of measurement
here is the metre, ] have seen
quite a lot of France by feet, and
taking into consideration the
many modern conveniences,
George Washington at Valley
Forge had nothing, as we marched
where the wind and snow combined
with icy roads made it quite task.
Our canteens froze solid and we
ate frozen corn-beef SANDWICHES
for dinner. However, we are all
thriving and growing fat.
We are and have been billited in
barn lofts most of the time. 1t is
surprising how easily we fellows
adopt ourselves to each surround
ing condition. There is a general
grumbling each time we move, as
we become quite attached to our
homes, for it Is as the old song
goes, there is no place like home,
be it ever SO humble.
To describe to you everything
would be impossible. 1t is just as
the movies show you.
The church in this village was
built in 1874, before nails were in
use. the rafters are interlocked
and pegged with wooden pegs.
The roof is of tile and ordinary
fiat rock.
The wagons here are high
wheeled carts or long narrow
wagons with the horses hitched
tandem fashion. Sometimes a
horse and milk COW are hitched
together
The roads here are very good
and we'll kept, usually with trees
on each side. Fences are notice.

Beer, white and red wines can
be bought at any place and in

such as candies, pies and cakes;

others, turning out to Reveille with
full packs. This is a penalty for
being late to drill one morning.
This will last for one week. We
sure have to work fast not to be
late.

broken. Am writing this by can
