Some one who has seen the play has : . . r V - - HOW ABOUT IT? In this drama we have the said: world-wid- e conflict between father and son. Jack Thurlow is a young man who has his own ideas about farming, and machinery. His father, John Thurlow, is the owner of Eng-- . lands largest shipyard, and is a master builder. Naturally, they want very different things, and Inevitably they clash. The trouble with many of us is this, some it may sound queer: Though-tOur appetite calls for the best of wine While our income calls for beer. And many a man in many a town Is now commencing to feel Its a whole lot better to own a home Than to sport an automobile. W. M.

There is Hester and her sweetheart; there is the practical mother, Janet, who would rather be sanitary than inspired. And of course there is the Ship. I Moroni Olson considers The Ship the" most powerful play in the companys repetoire this season. It is intensely dramatic, but a little love story and a great deal of humor enliven it. In the cast this time are Moroni Olson, Janet Young, Dorothy Adams, Leora Thatcher, Byron Foulger, Gordon Nelson and Gean Greenweil, all of whom will be remembered for their splendid work in Pygmalion," given here on November 16th. The rattle, roar and rumbling Noise of the. rushing train, Gives to my mind the impression Of a demon wracked with pain. Then in through the open window The tumultuary swells To the shriek of the locomotive The clang of the brazen bells. Into the gathering darkness Of the fast approaching night, Plunges this iron monster Swift as the eagles flight, While here in the dingy smoker, At peace I sit and dream In clouds of soothing incense Of the Goddes's Nicotine.

She from a firey crucible. He from a cooler mold. - the worries and troubles And cares of the busy day Are mounting the wings of darkness All of j Bess was fond of society. Tom for his fireside craved. She a prodical spender. He his pennies saved. On this and that they differed,. The simple things of life, Until home was a seething qualdron Of bickering and strife. Friends got into the turmoil1 And it was but a little time Until most of the family linen Was draped oh the public line.

The murmur of voices about me As I sit with my eyelids closed, Lulls me into oblivion, Gives to me sweet repose. .

At the door he was confronted by a son of auld Scotland. Five cents worth o bicarbonate of soda for indigestion, if ye please, the latter requested. A nickels worth of bicarbonate of soda at this time of the night, exploded the druggist. Getting me up for that when a glass of hot water would have done just as well. Weel, weel, returned the Scot, pocketing the money. I thank ye for the advice and Ill no bother ye after all. Good nicht.
