THE TWO NEIGHBoRs.

While Reddy Woodpecker and his cousin were getting acquainted, their wives became quite friendly Living as they did, each in an old apple tree at the lower end of the orchard, they often met. And since their doorways were almost opposite each other. Mrs. Wsodpecker and Mrs. Flicker didn't even have to leave their homes to en- joy T neighborly chat.
 Ii one of them had something Gpe- cially interesting to say, all she had to do was to stick her he'd out of the hole in the trunk of her tree and call. And if the other happened to be at home, if was never more than sec ond before her head popped forth from her doorway. It was all very simple and most convenient.
 Everything was pleasant until one day something happened. Something changed the friendly feelings between the two ladies. When Reddy Wood- becker peeped out of his doorway one morning. Mrs. Flicker called to him, Good morning, my dear!"
 He was so surprised he didn't know what to say.
 But Mrs. Woodpecker know what to say. It chanced that she was clinging to a limb above their home. so screened by some leaves that Mrs. Flicker couldn't see her. She quickly made known her presence. And che said so much that Mrs. Flicker soon withdrew her head. She hadn't an- 5wered Mrs Woodpecker. Indeed she had had no opportunity, for Mrs. Woodpecker talked fast and furiously.
 Its no wonder she lides." Mrs. Woodpecker sputtered 'I'd like to know what she means by calling my husband her 'dear,'.'
 Well. Reddy Woodpecker felt just as uncomfortable as Mrs. Flicker

'SMILIN THROUGH
 PLEASES AUDIENCE
Cormican Players Do We'll in Jane COWpS Success
(By Herald Reviewer.) )

(By Herald Reviewer) | A splendid production of "Smilln' Through" was presented by the Cor micah Players at the Lyceum theater last evening, The performance was the best that the players have as yet given, on an opening night. and every member of the cast did justice to his or her part.
 The stage settings were good and drew forth much applause from the | first nighters. Applause for a stage setting is seldom forthcoming in New
 Britain. The drop used in the pro- logue to depict a scene outside of a garden gate was very fine piece of work and furnished an impressive opening to the production.
 Miss Edna Archer Crawford. despite the fact that she has been playing character parts since her appearance in New Britain, gave a finished per formance, first as Moonyeen, who was killed on her wedding day by a jealous suitor. and then as the young Kathleen, who is the image of her de- ceased aunt, Moonyeen. Miss Craw- ford should be praised for the splen- did manner in which she portrays her dual roles.
 Lynn starling so finely interpreted the role he characterized that one could almost feel with him the love he possessed for Moonyeen and later for Kathleen, her niece. and the sen- |timent of friendship he had for Dr. Owen Harding his most ardent friend The makeup of MT. Startling. first as John Carteret of late years. then as the young Carteret, fifty years ago and again as John Carteret would appear in 1919. was very fine.
 Playing opposite MT. starling as Dr. Owen Harding was Horace James. who gave an excellent characterization of the beloved doctor always advising John Carteret to change his views on life and forget what happened fifty years ago. Mr. James was seen at his best.
 Rexford Kendrick provided excel lent support in the dual role of Ken meth Wayne and Jeremiah Wayne He might have, however, improved on his acting as drunkard in the second love of Moonyeen.
 MduS III the duulenCe TeCOgnlZed Desmond Gallagher in the role of Willie Ainey,~ although he was billed as Jack Courtney on the program Others in the cast whose work con- tributed to the success of the per formance are. George Campbell, Mar celle Nelkin, Thomas Meegan, Der nard Grogan, Mary Moore, Jane Smith and Catherine Merrideth
 The story is simple and well told. l Fifty years after the killing of her aunt Moonyeen, Kathleen falls in love with Kenneth Wayne, son of the man who killed Moonyeen. The obstacles | placed in the way of the young lovers by John Carteret who was to have been married to Moonyeen the night | she was killed, form the foundation of a very pretty story and romance.

PARIS GASOLINE WAR
American Concessions With New Pumps Give Old Frenchies Stiff Battle of Prices.

Paris. May 23.-The war of the pump and can which has been send ing the price of gasoline down sharply during the past three months has end ed in a treaty of peace between the rivals.
