Her Own Money"
Makes Big Hit

An audience that nearly filled the
Colonial theater Friday evening was
deeply indebted to Apollo Lodge, No.
,, Of St. JohnsbuIy for booking so
high class a prod elton as that given
by the Vivian Players of New York,
1t is with eager anticipation that the
large audience looks forward to an
other appearance in st. Johnsbury of
the Vivian Players in February. The
next production will be "The Three
Bears" and this play will be deserV-
ing of a capacity house, The Vivian
Players are also booked for a third
appearance at later date.
Her Own Money" was a rare dra-
matte treat. Every member Of the
company was excellent. The play
brought out in an exceedingly clever
way one Of the great problems of
married lifc-Whether OF not the wife
is entitled to half the family income.
Those in the audience who had par
ticipated in matrimony saw many a
realistic discussion re-enacted upon
the stage, and those who contemp-
late matrimony certainly got a fund
of information on a problem which
they Will be later called upon to solve
in their own life.
The play dealt with a young wife
who by her natural thrift saved
$4,000 out of the family income unbc-
known to her husband Then came a
climax in her husbands business af
fairs and he needed $4,000 for day
to tide him over certain deal. He
was unable to raise the money else
where.
Shortly after marriage his wife had
loaned him $500 which had become
absorbed" in his business and which
he had never found it convenient
to repay. His wife feared the $1,000
which she had saved in the hope of
securing a "little place in the coun-
try" might 90 the same way. So she
loaned the $4,000 to a neighbor and
he loaned the money to her husband.
Then a meddlesome unhappy wife
upset the scheme and after a lively
scene the husband left home. His
faithful wife bought her place in
the country and after year the hus-
band came back, repentant and the
couple lived happy ever after"
1t was a delightful comedy, with
flashes of dramatic intensity and
played with such fine Characterization
that the entire play was one of the
greatest treats that st. Johnsbury has

schools. He thought that possibly
the Capitalization idea had been car
ried too far.
Senator Taylor said that, while his
home is now in Hardwick, he always
felt at home in St. Johnsbury as he
began his business career in the old
Fairbanks store, when John T. Rit-
chic, Harry Carr and w. w. Sprague
were employed there. Senator Tay-
lor is very much in earnest in his
advocacy Of better roads, in fact as
well as in name. He is in favor OF 4
REIMBURSEMENT law so that cars be
rated on power, weight and value.
Senator Taylor admitted that the ru-
raj school question is hard problem
to solve, but it must be solved and
eolved right, for the back farms must
have good schools as well as good
roads. Senator Taylor referred to
the Gladly from Orange in the House
and prophesicd that it would not be
many years before there would be
MANY women in the House as we'll as
in the senate, and no doubt one
of them will be from St. Johnsbury.
Senator Taylor recalled the fact that
he had the honor in the state con-
vention Of nominating Mrs. A. l..

500 Reward, 500

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitut;on and assisting nature in doing its
work. The propretors have so much
faith in the curative power of Hairs

to cure. Send for list OF testimonials.
