THE STORY OF THE PLAY
Comedy Cyclone Will Present Many

comedy in two acts, “Mr. Bob.” The

ENTERTAINED THE VISITOR
Miss Elviera Heim of San Antonio
Agreeably - Honored
Miss Elviera Heim of San Antonio,
who was the welcome guest of Miss
Laurg Weber the past week, was the
recipient of very agreeable and pleas-
urable social entertainments, as
honoree, and in which a number of
her friends participated.
Mrs. F. Presun entertained most
charmingly Tuesday afternoon. The
The story of “Mr. Bob” can be told I home was beautifully and artistically |
in a few words: A gentleman who es-
says to represent a firm of lawyers
in the adjustment of a claim, is mis-
taken for a friend of the family and
is ushered in with that hospitality
which creates a lasting and favorable
impression. Being ignorant of the
art of sailing a boat, he is neverthe-
less implored to do the gallant act,
and becomes seasick. Rebecca Luke,
a maiden lady, loves cats, which in-
creases the mirth, and the young man
believes he has unconsciously fallen
into a house of lunatics.
The cats play a good part, Patty,
the maid, in love with the butler,
means well in trying to play a joke
on him, but, unfortunately gives to
Philip instead of the butler, the grip
containing the cats, and—well, the
fun continues. Philip swells up, won’t
witness the yacht race and—you go
out tomorrow night and see it.
Help the scout boys, they want to
raise funds for their hike to Medina
Dam. We are giving this notice with-
out charge, all the show will cost you
is fifty cents for yourself, the same
for your wife, and two bits for each of
the kiddies. Young men and young
men come under the adult class. Help
the boys.

ONE OF THEM.
TEACHERS SELECTED
A young white man, charged with
bigamy, appeared in Justice Barnett’s
rourt Monday morning for a prelim-
inary hearing. He was surprised
when he entered the court room to see
both of his wives. The hearing, how- strong.
«wcr. was delayed while the grandj County
.♦ury is investigating. Lenert.
The young women, wives of the de- County
fendant, met for the first time in the Granville,
court room. They apparently had a County
<T»<>d time discussing their husband. Societies-
“Now aren't you ashamed for mar-
rying such a man,” one of the women
said to the other.
“You married him first; you ought
to be just as ashamed as I,” was her
reply.
About that time Prosecutor Grady
fc'iblo called one of the women aside
for a consultation. This wife, called
Ike other and in introducing her to
Ur. Niblo she said:
“I want you to meet my husband’s
wife.”—Dallas Times-Herald.

Suggestions for a Camping Trip.
Buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy before leaving
home. As a rule it cannot be obtained
when on a hunting, fishing or prs-
pecting trip. Neither can it be ob-
tained while on board the cars or
steamships and at such times and
places it is most likely to be needed.
The safe way is to have it with you.

Do you get up at night? SANOL
i3 surely the best for all kidney or
bladder troubles. SANOL gives re-
lief in 24 hours from all backache
and bladder troubles. SANOL is a
GUARANTEED REMEDY. 50c and
$1.00 a bottle at the drug store.
Will you give orders or take them?
Poverty is no barrier. You can suc-
ceed! And your country needs you
properly trained.
The one thin* absolutely necessary
to success is the rugged determination
that makes one grit his teeth, clinch
his fist and say “I can because I will.”
Y’our place in the world depends not
upon circumstances, but upon you.
Whether or not you will attain a high
position in the work of your choice;
whether you will give orders or take
them; whether your pay will be
“wages” or “salary”—all this depends
upon your determination. First, last
and all the time, he wins who turns
a resolute face to the grim old world
and answers its challenge with an
unflinching, “I can succeed and I will.”
The supply of “average” workmen
is usually greater than the demand.
That is why the unskilled live so often
in dread of idleness, with its specters
of humiliation and discouragement.
The market for untrained help grows
narrower with every invention of a
labor saving machine, and with every
“examination” safeguard adopted by
states or employers. The demand of
today is for business trained men and
women to manage the business affairs
of large commercial houses. “What
Can You Do?” Every office of busi-
ness demands the keeping of books,
| the filling of contracts and other
j legal documents, the use of shorthand
and the typewriter, or the operating
of a telegraph key. Young man,
young woman, can you do these things
that are so much in demand in these
trying times of reconstruction ? Say
to yourself, “I will prepare; I will
succeed,” write for our catalogue to-
day, asking for our credit plan if
necessary. State confidentially your
financial condition, and the course
you are interested in. Make the start.
Do it now. Girls and boys this is
your opportunity. You are needed to
render honorable and efficient service.
Tyler Commercial College, Tyler, Tex-
as, America’s business training Uni-
versity will prepare you. It has help-
ed more than twenty thousand boys,
girls, men and women.

Every druggist in town—your drug-
gist am', everybody's druggist lias noticed
r. great falling off' in the sale of calomel.
Tiioy all give the same reason. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson’c
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs but a few cents, and if it
fails to give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm-
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, Yick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dod-
son’s Liver Tone instead and feel fine,
full of vigor and ambitiou
