The Missouri Girl.
The MISSOURI GIRL is a
comedy drama that produces
more genuine hearty laughter
than anything yet written. In
connection with the strong and
interesting plot, it contains the
most ludicrous stuations ever
conceived. The company pre¬
senting the play this season is
r pie <o yg^*U!aUwttiM3a in the theatrical profession, ' 1 »*•
who are fully able to extract this
fun and deal it out to the public
in a most satisfactory manner.
Nine of the old favorites remain
in the cast; some of them have
played their respective voles con¬
tinuously for eight seasons. This
guarantees a first class perform¬
ance. The'new people added for
this season were selected for their
peculiar fitness for the roles they
.are to asunie and it is safe to pi'r
di&t that “a better than ever'’
line call safely be added- to the

To Hold Success.
Thirty years ago in a poor
schoolhouse in a back district a
boy at the foot of hig class unex¬
pectedly spelled a word that had
been passed down the entire class.
‘ Go up head,’ said the mas¬
ter, “and see that you stay there.
You can if you work hard.”
The boy hung his head. But
the ney day lie did ju,** a
to get alifend. TfttfTh**.
was not a single one. Dave stay¬
ed at the head. He had been
indifferent speller before, but
now he knew every word.
“Dave, how do you get your
lesson tfo well now?” said the
master.
“I learn every word in the les¬
son, and get my mother to hear
me at night, then I go over them
in the morning before 1 come to
school. And I go over them at
mv seat before the class is called
up.”
“Good boy. Dave!” said the
master. “That’s the wav to have
success: always work that way,
and you’ll do well.”
Dave is today the manager of a
big lumber company, and lie at¬
tributes his start to the words:
“Go-up a head, and see that you
stay there. You can if you work
hard.”—Genesee Courier.
