JIGGS COMEDY COMING
HERE DECEMBER Is is
BEST OF THE SERIES

According to the consensus of criti-
cism, the latest stage version of the
ever popular comics of George Nc
Manus' cartoon comedy entitled "Jiggs,
Maggie and Dinty" is the best of the
series thus far. Meaning that the mill
lions of followers of the well known
trinity of beloved characters from the
comic supplement are in for an anus
ing and hilarious time at the Grand
theatre, Douglas, for one performance
only, on Wednesday night, December
Is, where this superfine and stellar
offering is to be the next attraction.
Maggie, as heretofore, is still the
termangant, shrewish wife. Neverthe-
less, the real helpmate and PAL espe-
cially when her bettr half gets into
trouble, which he invariably does
through this laugh compelling and rip
roaring contribution. The costuming
is new, the girls pretty, the songs tune
full and the fun rampant from start to
finish. What more can be asked?

OUTGOING MAIL
M US T BE IN BY
4 IN AFTERNOON

Officials of the Douglas postoffice
report that in spite of all the notices,
advertisements, warnings and advices,
to say nothing of tears and perhaps
worse, the public still persists in mail
ing their letters after the last mail
train has left each afternoon. This
means a delay of at least "a hours in
the time letters get away from Doug
las.
The last train out each day is at 4;53
in the afternoon and mail should be in
the postoffice before o'clock in order
to make this train. The postal au-
thorities state that the bulk of the
mail outgoing from this city is still
mailed between and o'clock each
afternoon, which means that it does
not leave the city until noon of the
next day.

The meteor which fell southwest

walking just ahead of him, but the
other man did not understand the
purpose of the call in time to see
the meteor.

and larger as it came closer to the
