ing, comical acts that followed.
One of the leading characters,
Manuel Snyder, in the role of Ben
jamin Btittercom, was a new man with
the company, taking well with the
audience in the capable handling of
his part. Mr. Grew as Doublenlot,
and Miss Pettcs, as Diana, played
in their usual attractive and pleasant
manner. 'I he talented young lady,
Miss Edna Sevier, as Josephine,
could hardly have been surpassed in
her presentation of Doubledot's af
fectionate wife number two. The
minor part of the Swedish house maid,
Amy Eliza, was a difficult one to im
personate and at times seemed a little
over drawn.
The play is of French origH, and pre
sents a promising young musician,
Doubledot, falling in love and marry
ing a fair young lady who has a dear
mother of the Battling Nelson type.
After a few days of married life, with
the mother in law as a body guard,
and following an exciting encounter
with the charming old lady, the
young people agree to disagree and
seperate . w ith the mother in law in
a horrible flurry.
Two years later, Doubledot, again
loses his heart, this time to the only
daughter of an old widower, and the
elderly gentleman, while away for his
health, meets and marries Double-
dot's former wife, whom he brings
home, accompanied by her parasite
mother. Oh, ye gods and little fishes!
but the times that follow are stienous
and the circumstances are trying! The
same separation stunt is again pulled
off by the bull dog mother and her
gifted daughter, after they have se
cured enough of the filthy lucre from
the old gentleman to last them for
the rest of their natural existence,
and an old friend of the young lady's
is roped in for the next performance.
But here the curtain prevents the fur
ther routine of the affair, and there you
are! and you find yourself asking
"Is Marriage a Failure "
The next week's appearance of the
company will be the strong play,
hardly to be judged by it's title, "Way
Out West."

Written by "Our Devil" with the mallet)
Weeping Water is on the boom;
the Republican states that a new ce
ment walk will be Lid there this
spring.
The editor of the Republican over
at Weeping Wuter, a wiiy station on
a branch of the Missouri Pacific about
five miles south of Manley, has an
editorial in his last ' itwue te'ling the
IHHiple about this seed corn business.
He says that Franklin B. Clorea of
Indiana, the corn specialist who has
spent a lifetime in the study of this
subject is nutty and that Mr. Clores
advice to "test your seed corn" is
about as sensible as ' editing a weekly
journal at Weeping Water. Now
boys, forget this foolish talk about
peior seed com, listen, to Olive, he
knows about as much about the grow
ing of corn as a porcupine knows
about the manufacture of Lydia Pink
ham's compound and he could as easily
raise corn as he could the price of the
Hubsc.'ption to his weekly joke book.
We expect tha the nex thing he will
spring will be a bill before the house
at Washington trying to reeluce the
tariff on button holca or promoting
an electric light system over in his
home town so that Steve Orton's
lantern can get a v;ll earned vacation.
