the local bank to issue him a bank

been an exceptionally able man
in the position ho has held dur

placed the county farm on a much
higher standard than ever before,
and his able management has
aved the county thousands of
dollars in the handling of the
farm and in making it self-
sustaining. In the years gone
by the farm was allowed to run
in a very unbusiness-like man
ner, but these conditions have
been greatly changed and now
the farm is self-sustaining.

LITTLE ACTRESS
Alice Dovey, Born and Reared to
Womanhood in Plattsmouth,
Proud of Nebraska Home.
The Omaha Daily News of yes
terday contained an extensive
write-up of Miss Alice Dovey and
her very successful career on the
stage and was illustrated with
several portraits of Miss Dovey
and her sister, Mrs. Klhel Trues
dell, who for a number of years
appeared with her in the differ
ent musical comedies that have
made such splendid successes in
recent years. The article in pari
was as follows:
A pretty little Nebraska girl
brought, enthusiastic words to the
lips of the usually sedate and itn
penlrable James M. Barrie when
he saw her from his ho in a
London theater.
'"Perfectly charming." mur

Twelve Pound Look," as little

"perfect ly charming"
was no news lo Nebraska. Down
in Plattsmouth they were using
thai term some years ago, when
this small person was running
about with her hair in a long,
brown pigtail. Mr. IJarrie only
corroborated the already linnly
fixed opinion of the home folks,
and Ihe latter eo'"ider Mr. Barrie
a man of good taste no mure
and no less.
Miss Dovey's recent visit to the
Hrandeis in "The Pink Lady"
brought Plallsmouth to the thea
ter in large numbers. And Platts
mouth exclaimed, just as did
Omaha, I lint Miss Dovey w as not
only charming, but talented as
well, and that sharing star honors
as she did in "The Pink Lady"
was only lo be expected of this
young woman.
And Miss Dovey is a real
daughter of Nebraska. Her
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.)
(ieorge K. Dovey, were married
in Plnllsmouth, and Miss Dovey's
grandfather, Charles D. Dawson,
was a pioneer who camo to this
slate in 187 1, and also lived in
Plattsmouth.
Miss Dovey was Iti when she
and her sister, Ethel, who is one
year older, first looked at an audi
ence from the professional stand
point. They made their start to
gether in the chorus of "The
Strollers," in which Margaret
Sylvu was starring. Heforo Ibis
they were called the "Nebraska
Sisters" when they appeared in
amateur performances.
Omaha saw Miss Dovey in "The
Land of Nod" some years ago, and
after the star, the late Miss Har
rison, dropped out. Miss Dovey
had the lending part.
Then I here were important
roles in "The Girl and the Han
dit." ' Woodland," which on ae
con'ii of illness she never tilled:,
in "The Vanderbilt Cup," "Old
Dutch," "Summer Widower's" and
"A Stubborn Cinderella."
I'nr the latter piece Miss Dovey
was summoned by cable from
Europe, where she had gone for
a year's study, believing that her
voice was not quife as good as it
had bern.
All CHARMING
In the meantime Ethel Dovey
has married an actor, Frederick
Trnesdell, and finds the care of
an infant aged several months so
absorbing that she has left the
stage. She now lives in New
York, where another sister,
Eslelle, is studying, ami will keep
the Dovey name in musical
circles.
Hut with all the success and
praise there is no self-satisfied
germ lurking in Alice Dovey's
pretty and natural manners. She
looks at life and at her career
with wise eyes, even if she is
still in the early twenties.
"Will I continue on the stage?
II all depends. I must do some
thing much greater or I cannot
be satisfied. You see, we all grow
old some day. For instance,
mere is , naming an opera
star who was recently in Omaha.
"Already they are tired of her in
New York. Perhaps she hasn't
progressed, hut, anyway, she is
looked upon as a hit passe, al
though she cannot be forty yet.
"1 cannot be contented to drib
ble along that way and then be
shoved oil"." And little Miss
Dovey folded a pair of small arms
demurely, and looked into space
:i Miousand miles olT.
"I am not infatuated with the
stage, bv any means. Sometimes
1 feel I wouldn't, mind leaving it
nil. And at these times I think
thai it is belter to do as three of
my sisters have done, marry a
man I love and have a home.
