BREED THEATER. “A Vein of Gold,” Thrilling Western Story. has opened of The feature picture of the Breed the- ter for today is entitled A Vein of Gold, and is a thrilling story of a con- vict who is granted a release for sev- eral days to.see his sick mother, and, séeing the necessity of funds and hav- none, he robs the old grocery store, and returns with the money to the mother. Two years later he is re- leased from the penitentiary and starts immediately for the west as a pros- pector. . He is highly successful and returns to the old home town in time %o save the foreclosure of the mort- gage on the old grocery store that he robbed to save his mother. This is a thoroughly western story and is con- vincingly told. There is a very strcng Biograph pic- ture entitled The Impalement, and is one of the newest and best of the company’s offerings. Miss Kada Clark, dramatic soprano, is the new singer who comes to the Breed theater to- day from a successful season in the Jarger theaters in Boston, where she has worked this last season. She will &ing the latest in the illustrated song tine, and songs of the higher class. THE AUDITORIUM. "he management of the Auditorium promises a well balanced and pleasing bill for the first three days of this week, consisting of a little music, a little singing and a little good, clean comedy. Clara Rogers, the well known girl ‘cellist, will render several selec- tions on this tuneful instrument over which she is the complete master, Back Home, a rural comedy present- ed by Mr. Harry D. Crosby, assisted by Miss Anna Lee, promises to be one of the best comedy sketches seen here in a long time. The scene is laid in the village postoffice and the act is a real old fashioned rural comedy. An act which is espceially appro- priate just at this time is the twenty- minute skit presented by Berwick and Hart, depicting fun in a pugilist's training quarters. As a special feature for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week the management has se- cured the original and only Jack John- son training pictures. This picture was taken at very close range and is #0 clear that one can even see John- son’s muscles move as he works. A hard six-round bout is also shown with one of his trainers. Goldfish Died of Fright. A woman who nursed three goldfish @ a small aguarium tank graced with agquatic plants thought she would add ® bizarre touch to her water garden by dropping into the tank a gayly oalored celluloid alligator she had picked up at a ten cent counter. She dropped the alligator. One of the goldfish instantly leaped several inch- es above the water, flopped back inert and never moved again. The mistress of the goldfish was sure her darling Bad died of fright. Worry Habit. ‘The worry habit is one that grows vapidly. The more it is indulged in the stronger it becomes. When you discover that you are its victim, just wtop and comsider: What do I gain Wy it? If so, what is the gain? What do I lose by it? Health, strength, cheerfulness, the power. of helping ethers. Whatever you do, don’t say | *1 can’t help it.” The worry habit e GLEANINGS. statistics of Turkey for 'orwarded Financial ple, show that the revenue of the gov- ernment was $8,501,091, an increase of $1,579,297 over the same month in 1909.

News. From its original home as a native, wild growth in Western Asia and ad- joining Europe the cultivated pea has been taken by man to all civilized countries. It has been cultivated for thousands of years, for dried peas have been found in Egyptian tombs. . One planter near Tuxpan is pre- paring to plant 1,000 acres in or— anges and grape frui There are also a number of sudcessful orange growers in the vieinity of Tampico, and it is expected that, in the near future, considerable quantites of this fruit will be shipped to the United States. Consul H. Albert Johnson, in a re- port from Liege, gives the details of the progress of a number of companies opening up <oal mines in the Belgian province of Limburg. These are the Limburg Meuse company, Charbon- nage des Liegeois, Societe Dumont, Charmonnages de Resaiz and Char- monnages de Beerington. Deputy Consul Albert S. Troughton of Malaga furnishes a detailed de- scription of a Spanish invention for producing matrix sheets for stereotypes The inventor, whose address may be obtained from the bureau of maufac- tures, desires to enter into corespond- ence with parties who might be inter- ested in perfecting or developing the apparatus. The growing impeortance of the port of Tampice is vy recognized by the Mexican government. Plans are con- tinually -being made and money liber- ally spent for the betterment of this grand natural harbor. In February a dredge was purchased and has already begun the work of cleaning out the harbor and the channel of the Pan- uco river to the custom house wharves. The channel w be made 23 feet deep.

ERE The Savages. T == All men have a working knowledge of duty. A savage is a man who hasn’t cultivated the art of making & great deal of talk about it.—Puck.

His neigh- ®or interfered with: “I think it right to inform you, sir that I am Sir George's brother.” “His brother? Oh, 1 know mothing about his brother, per- sonally, but I am told he is even a greater blackguard than Sir George.” - Equality. There should subsist a great degree of equality between the rank and for- tune of individuals; without which there cannot exist long any equality between them in point of right or au- thority. There should be little or no luxury; for luxury must either be the effects of wealth, or it must make it mecessary.—Rousseau. What an Inch of Rainfall Means. An acre is 6,272,640 square inches. An Inch of water on an acre is, there- fore, 6,272,640 cubic inches. That amount, at 277 cubic inches to the gal- dom, equals 22,000 gallons, or 230,000 ‘pounds, or 100 tons. An inch of rain 1s, in other word), rain falling at the Fate of 100 tons’to the acre. kS Tolstoy’s Rules for Life. Never justify yourself.
