The Cbanute Times A K WRNER, Editor and Proprlet Entered in the Chanute Postoffice at Ghanirta, Kansas, as Second Class Miil Matter. Safoecr$pfion Rates - $i Per Year New BuiMing Material is on the ground to commence the preliminary work of the new East Main street theatre buildirjg which is being built ou the site of the Air Dome. D. D. Johnson, the builder and owner, said this morning that the building was to be absolutely fire proof and would seat between 12 and 13 hundred people. It is to be con structed with brick walls and cement floors. Both front and rear will be so built as to allow their being thrown open during the summer weather. It will be used for the first time this summer, as the building is scheduled to be completed by May 20th. A feature of the building is that there will be four isles, and for each isle there will be an exit so as to do away nearly altogether with the congestion that results from insufficient exitstn times of crowds. The building will be 50 by 135 feet and will have a horse shoe bal ccnythat will come within twenty feet of the stage on each side. The stage itself will be large enough to accomodate stock companies, or any company not having an ex Ueiuely large' number in their casts. Upon the completion of the new theatre, the owner will remove his picture show from its present loca Jion to the new fire proof building. Mr. Johnson is planning somewhat on becoming a member of the Air Ddme circuit. In case he does not he will book the larger attrations ex lusively. Remodeling Hetrick I.

' Americans sometimes think that It is only our country that Is troubled with crude art In the form of grace less statues of publlo men. But occa sionally, at least, Europeans are mov ed to protest against similar affllo ttons. The statues: of Bjornson and Ibsen In Chrlstianla have evoked strong protest, and a movement baa been started for their removal. BJorn son's eon declares that the statues "look like cheesemongers who have climbed up on a pile of their wares." Worth Knowing. Never throw away pieces of lemon after they have been equeezed with the lemon squeezer, for they come la handy,. for removing stains from the handa'and elsewhere. Dipped into salt they will scour copper kettles nicely and remove stains from brass work. Lemon like this will take stains, dirt and odor from pans and kettles as nothing else will. The odors of fish and onions can thus be easily removed. "Hems-Grown' Jardiniere. A gourd vine of the sugar-trough va riety growing on our garden rsnoe produced a goodly number of large gourds.

English Humor. He who laughs last is an English man. Princeton Tiger. That Occasional Chord. There are chords in the human heart, strange, varying things, which are only struck, by accident; which will remain mute' and senseless to ap peals the most passionate and earnest, and roepond at' last to the slightest casual touch. In- the- most Insensible or childish minds there' Is some train of reflection which art can seldom lead, or skill assist, but which will re veal Itself, as great truths have done, by chance, and when the discoverer has the plainest and simplest end la view.
