when Miss Bainter acted with that company
 At last the courageous little girl got an engagement with Mrs. Fiske, and after that Miss Bainter's art be- came recognized and she was given a regular part. She played in several Broadway plays, among them The Willow Tree" The Kiss Burglar" and her latest. East Is West" Her days of struggle are over.
 FIVE FORTUNES
 Five separate fortunes have been made of the play. "Forty-Five Min utes From Broadway" First the au- thor, George M. Cohan made more than 100, 900 in the first nine months out of the play at the New Amster- dam Theatre in New York, and mora than that on the road with it. Second, the play has made another tidy sum since it's release for use by stock companies. Third. Charles Ray paid Cohan s50.000 cash for picture rights. Fourth. Ray will make a neat fortune himself by filming and selling it. Fifth, the First National Exhibitors Circuit which will release 1t. will make fortune selling the use of it to the theatres.

ton TO the bridge players from this
vicinity, there were several guests

Bob Wilkinson has come back from
the poor-hOuse. He pinned for Shep-
herdstown, and so he has made his
way back home, and having recovered
his saw-buck and axe he is again
ready for business. We suspect that
he is like the grounding, however
has come out little too soon.
We call attention to the advertise.
ment this week Of the Hurwitz Cream

is a thoroughly reliable concern. and

great deal to the dairy and farm in

II may prosper.
We direct especial attention to the
public sale OF A. D. Groves prop
