The part Is an interesting study of a type of crook too easily identified to be harmful, too droD to be offensive. The part recalls, in its general out lines, Shakespeare's delightful rogue, Autolycus, in "The Winter's Tale," a character this same Frank Currier took when Viola Allen presented her notable revival of that play some yeara ago. Mr. Currier ha; done good serv ice with Viola Allen in her Shakes pearean revivals, particularly as Sir Andrew Aguecheck in "Twelfth Night." He is also remembered as the original absent-minded professor in "Way Down East." There Is a real insriration In watch ing the development, of the plot of George M.

BRINGING EXHIBITS OF WESTERN LANDS The Burlington exhibit tar is making a number of the towns in Iowa, Mis souri and Illinois this fall with a view of attracting settlers to the now irri gated lands alons the Burlington's new lines of railroad in Wyciuicg and Mon tana, where the government has spent $4,7O0,iro0 in constructing an irrigation system to water l5'.'i,o(r:i acres of choice valley land. The ii'Jgation works In clude, the highest dam in the world, nd a tunnel more than three miles long to carry the wat.-r from the river to the farm land. This car contains samples of the splendid grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables grown In the Big Horn bas in and Yellowstone vaiif y. A view of the exhibit will be helpful to those seeking new locations or investments, an the successful showing made by tettlerg on these irrigated homesteads will be of especial interest to farmers who are tenants but looking forward to proprietorship of farm homes. TAKING THE CURE. Graphic Pen Pirture of Carlsbad and Its Dyspeptics. A city shaped like a cup, a ccp con taining hot water. The sides of the city are clothed with pines, and in the hollow lie the waters where the dys peptics of the world foregather to drink and to be healed. They desire to be freed from excess of fat, from yel low skin?, from pains that catch one ia the small of the back and from the stiff joints that follow hard upon the pleasures of the too abundant board. In Carlsbad you drink often and drink deep.. Drinking is your main occupation. Your drinking glass is strapped over your shoulders as you wander, sipping from spring to spring as assiduously as any one bee, but you do not get boney. Your misery begins at 6. At 6 o'clock they call you. and you are expected to be shaved and decent before you face the world f waters and of miserable sinners at 7 o'clock. If you tad not been a miserable sinner, too. you would not be here, but you have done those things yon ought cot to have done and yon bave left undone those things you ought to have done, and your penalty Is Carlsbad. So you take your place at the end of a queue 300 dyspeptics long and wish you were dead. Yon very nearly are, for no "morning tea" sustains you; they forbid that; it is strictly against th law. Yon take your turn at the "Spru del" spring uncomforted by the cook. Everything contribute to your misery.

You hate him. And every moment you draw nearer to the "Spru del" spring. It leaps from the bowels of the earth toward the roof of the colonnade shrouded In Its own steam, and a girl in waterproof overalls catches you a glassful by means of a long pole. Then you retire to a corner with the evil brew and try to drink it. It tastes of dead rats hot ones, long dead. 1'our character my be divined by your method of dealing with it. It may be faced af one faces a pet beverage, "with an air," or it may be dallied w ith in sips or thrown away. It may beat you altogether. l';t this is rare.

Sixty thousand of the sorrowful sub ject themselves to these penalties year ly every summer. But in spite of the 00,000 you will probably be a lonely soul in Carlsbad. Its dietetic system does not make for sociability or mirth. But as the days go by the pink hues of health begin to return to your cheek, your color ceases to be drab and your temper becomes less vile. You find you can tolerate your fellow man with some degree of courtesy even when he breathes down your neck and clears his throat in the region of your ear. There is less of Hamlet about you and more of Puck, for yonr days are ordered now more in conformity with nature's plan snd yonr reward Is an equabihty that is foreign to the life of broken laws in the place from whence you came. For two or three weeks this quickening pro-os will develop and continue until in the exuberance of health you return to your land. When you are not here Carlsbad puts Its shutters up and goes away to cure Itself of the tedium of having cured you, and by the time it has finished with you its coffers are juite com fortably stocked against a holiday, for you were not a "cureguetst" for noth ing. Still you were cured, and a cure Is always cheap. But en the who'e perhaps it would have been cbesper If you had kept the law. London Mail. - ILL-EBERLE CO.
