DAVIS THEATRE.

old-fashioned as Mary may sound this musical comedy produced by Geo. M. Conan. is so speedy that it breaks all records. Mary will be seen at the Davis theatre. Norw.ch, one night only. Thursday, Dec. ?.
 To write in terms of Conan about Conan dancing and singing piece is sl- most impossible. for cold type can't keep up with the pace he sets. Mary goes like a whirlwind and accordingly, scores a whizzing hit. It is amazingly rapid m footwors. with all the members of Geo M Cohan's comeiians-dancing like mad and leaping, romping across the stage with the perpetual motion of youth. In all of it, feet and head. are the marks of a genius grown to one of the biggest men in our theatre.
 The book and lyrics by Otto Harbach and Frank Mandel and the music by Lou Hirsch never fail to be pleasing. In ad- dition to a carefully selected cast Of principals, there are three dancing .teauis' and a remarkably clever and pretty chorus of girls that add to the riotous delight of Mary.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

Thanksgiving day is the day of the ex tra good things for dinner, a real day of feasting, holiday that is always well comed and long anticipated It is a day of family gatherings, where lhe turkey with all the fixings is featured, and hap py reunions result.
 But it is, or should be. more than that. The very name indicates that it is a day for giving thanks, and such thanks are not for the nice things to eat and the pleasant times enjoyed on that day, but for the many blessings that have been received in a countless number of ways throughout the year.
 Just because we are apt to take such blessings without giving much thought to them at the time, except possibly to think that we are lucky, it is well that we should stop and think of the great many things>for which we have reason to be thankful every day and every week, so that it isn't taking very much time or seriously interrupting our pleasures if we devote a day once year to considering our blessings and giving thanks therefor If you don't think there are many things for which to give thanks, just think of how many more advantages comforts and privileges you have today than did those who landed on these shores 300 years ago next month and who as the years went by and the hardships were endured were moved to devote this day to the counting of their blessings. And
 even though We experience them ir greater or less measure, we should nof l forget to show and express our gratitude for the things which have been provided
 for us And as we observe Thanksgiving
 we should not overlook the opportunity
 of making it day of real thanksgiving | for others.

The LittIe Bears pnrt,.

Dear Uncle Jed: There was going to be party at the little bears house. He had a little sister and her name was Mary. The little bears name was Johnny. He asked his mother if he could have a party, but she didn't say anything just then. One day the mother was doing a lot of cooking. That day she sent the little bears out to play. She told JoInny's father to get some ice cream. When he came home the little bears asked him what he had. He only said, T an bringing an old keg to cut up for kindiinE. The old bear put it in the cellar and put the wheelbarrow away. Then the rnoth- CT and father were trying to think who to invite, so they sent word to the rac= coon children and their cousins and the young foxes. to come to the party. All said they would come. That evening after supper their mother told them to wash clean, and put on their Sunday clothes. Soon the guests arrived. They played all kinds of games. Presently they had lunch. There were sandwiches. and jam. cocoa for a drink and ice cream the last thing. All went home happy.
