In “A Day at the Ranch,” which will e given in Broadway theater, Friday and Saturday, February 4 and 5, Open House and Haile club will offer to the public a novel and beautiful enter- tainment different from anything ever presented here. The piece was sketched out and the Wild West opening medley of songs and specialtices arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Rodenbaugh, the directors, by, the popular comedian and song and sketch writer, Mr. Frank O. French, whose services are much in demand by publishers and managers of musical eomedies. : The work for the comedians is writ- ten in so that it extends through the whole play, instead of the first half only, as in the “Garden Party” last ence Mes- year. The comedians are jl senger as Ikey Einsteina sporty He- brew; John Stone as Fritz the Ger- man; Leon Young of the Auditorium as Ham Bone, a colored gentleman, Phil Sheridan as Mike Rafferty, the Irishman; and Charles E. Case will make his reappearance on the stage as Du-t.y Rhoades, the seedy but cheer- ful tramp, and. needless to say. the comedy could be in no better hands. Big new ensemble singing and danc- inz specialties will be given in true professional style by the prettiest girls and best dancers and singers among the men, selected for these parts from a membership of 1,000 young people. There will be cowboys cowgirls, In- dian braves and maidens, Tenderfoot visitors, and all sorts of characters, and the show will go with a vim and dash, without a dull moment, Over 125 grown people will a:slst as well as & childrens’ chorus of 175. Among the soloists this season are the Misses Annie O'Brien, Nellie De- laney, Bertha Woodmansee, Ella Kir- by, ollie James, Della Woodmansee, Helen Barber, and Elizabeth Houck, and Messrs. Ravmond Hilton, Harry MacDougal, Edgar Rice,-Leon Young, W, E. Stinson and F. A. Wilson. Dr, Clarence B. Capron will apnear as Colonel Miller, ranch owner, and James Sheridan will be Arizona Pete, the foreman. Capt. Thomas B. Linton will be the Indian chief and Irving Drake as Uncle Qilas Hayseed. BREED THEATER. Brilliant Programme of Exclusive Feature Motion Pictures. Monday evening witnessed the pres- entation of a bill of feature motion pictures of unusual excellence at the Breed theater. and the large audience | was most appreciative and demonstra- tive. While the dramatic portion was especially strong and effective, the feature comedy by the Biograph com- edy came in for all the laughs and applause. This bright story is clearly told on a 1,000 foot film and in the presentation of it utilizes two sisters, whose love affairs become very much tangled, because of the pronounced likeness, and whose delightful com- edy work calls for the highest com- mendation. The story is distinctly rural, and the local color given the picture by the correct accessories is most refreshing. There is also a thrill- ing and educational picture, taken from the turret of a battieship. The magnificent handling of the monster guns, the rapid loading and firing, as well as close views of them, all am- ply repay the patrons for any effort they may have made to see them, A decided musical treat is on for this week, in the shape of the beauti- ' fully rendered “Jewel Song” from | Faust, in which Miss Wolcott sings here with all the artistic excellence and scholarlv mastery befitting her eplendid class of works Home Market Club’s Position. The Ilome Market club naturally is opposed to the income tax. It is op- posed to any effort or plan of the fed- eral government to raise revenue ex- cept by the levying of customs duties and its cardinal principle is that the government should be disarmed as much as possible of all other taxing powers that it may be the more com- pelled to make the utmost use of the customs taxes for high protection pur- poses. Evidently the clup fears -that the revenue yield from an honest im- position of the income tax would be so large that it would force a demand for a real downward revision of the tariff schedules, Evidently the club be- lieves that the tax should be placed upon consumption rather than upon wealth, and for the taxation of con- sumption for the profit of the pro- tected few as well as for the benefit of the public treasury. Those who belleve that President Taft still is in favor of a real downward revision of the tariff may find in his advocacy of the income tax. and the corporation tax the opening wedge for the pro- duction of a revenue that will pro- duee a surplus and force a reduction of the tariff, now so stubbornly op- yosed by the stand-pat forces in both branches of the national legislature.— Haverhill Gazette. Bertha and Roberta. Kansans who have held their heads haughtily high In reading of the es- capade of Roberta De Janon, secure in the knowledge that Kansas heiresses were superjor to that sort of non- sense, may bow a moment at the news that our own Bertha Rose has gone and done likewise. But they jpeedn’t feel so downcast; Kansas is sfill tri- umphant. Bertha selected a farm- hand instead of a waiter. and as she is heiress to the Sunflower ranch in- stead of $10,000,000, perhaps her judg- ment wasn't so bad, Farmhands are hard to get and harder to keep. Mat- rimony is no_ cinch on a man, but it may help a little if Bertha is good- natured. And it also helps the Kansas average that Bertha selected a young ingle man, instead of one who is old married. This is no brief for the interloping farmhand, or a general rec- ommendation that heiresses of Kan- sas limit their choice to that class exclusively. although they might go farther—even to Euroj d fare And_this little comparison of Kansas and Pennsylvania tastes shomld hold the haughty Pennsylvan- ians in check for some time to come.— Atchison Globe. Southington.—It is understood that the Southington Water company will next summer extend its mains to Marion. HOME GARMENT MAKING. The Bulletin’s Pattern Service. 2421 GIRL’S AND CHILD'S UNDERWAIST AND DRAWERS. Paris Pattern No. 2421 — All Seams Allowed. Cambric, lawn, batiste, nainsook or jaconet are all used for garments of this character. The underwaist is made with a round neck, and this and the armholes are trimmed with a narrow edging of fine embroldery; strips of seam tape trim the waist,which fastens at the ce¢hter-back. The drawers are tucked and finished with an edging of deeper embroidery. They are gathered into a wide waistband which is worked with buttonholes, so that the garment may be fastened to the underwaist. The pattern is in six sizes—2 to 12 years. For a child of 6 years the un- derwaist requires % yard of material 27 or 36 inches wide, with 5% yards of bias seam tape and 2 yards of edging; the drawers need 1% yards 27 inches wide or 115 yards 36 inches wide; 2 yards of edging Price of pattern, 10 cents. Order through The Bulletin Company, Pattern Dept., Norwich, Conn. The Issue at the Cotton Mills. It is manifestly a niggardly policy that the cotton mills of New England have adopted in connection with this shortening of the working week by two hours. It is not to be wondered that the operatives are feeling sore, but they are in no position to take any action in resentment as mill con- ditions now are. Strike talk in mid- winter with the mills ready enough for temporatry shutdowns is ill advised. To strike under the present conditions would be suicidal. Strike talk should be discouraged by the Ilevel-headed operators until conditions improve and then the cotton mill workers of New England should have their inning and force the mills to make un the serimping, niggardly policy at present in force.—Biddeford Record. But who cut out the two hours? This experience ought to teach the folly of trying to beat the manufac- turers by getting a statute to prevent work. You can get the(statute; and you can prevent work; perhaps you can handicap the manufacturers: but you cannot get a statute that will compel the manufacturers to pay more than they would be compelled to pay without the statute.—Lewiston (Me.) Sun. Porcupines and Alaskan Trees. Milo.Kelly says that -porcupines kill | more timber on the coast of Alaska than is used for commercial purposes. “Wherever you go along the coast,” id he “you will noti timber. There are whole patches of these in places. In nine cases out of ten the cause can be traced to the work of porcupines. They ring the trees in hunting for the soft bark next the sap. The government is going to lots of trouble and expense to conserve the timber along the west coast but is overlooking the most destructive of all agents. The thing for the government to do if it wants to save the timber is to find some method of killing the por- cupines.”—Cordova North Star.
