At the Steward Thursday, December 17. . Thev Pastime.. Though there was only a medium sized crowd out to see the new change at the Pastime last evening, Is only to say that there were a great many who missed the best program put on for some time. ' The picture, "A Dusl Life," is one of the best of Its kind ever put on a curtain. This subject was taken from life, and Is one that points a strong moral and cannot fall to ap peal to every honest man and woman. A Ragged Hero Is a real drama, Vith a hero. This picture surrounds the beautiful -daughter of a millionaire, who has befriended a poor little wolf In time of need and who In his turn has a chance to prove" his gratitude. The villain plays a prominent part, but :. -t last outwitted. The Football .nd recounts the adventures of an enthusiastic football rooter Iri-hls ef forts to see a big game of football viv idly slvon' in a whirlwind of con:.!: situations. Don't fall to see this pro gram tonight. Remember, all next iveek the famous quartet at the Pastime. MORE FAKK MONEY. Next Buxkctball Game and Skating ltinli Receipts for l'ark Fund. There is evidence of boost for the park fund from every corner. Next Friday night the second game of the high school basketball series will be given with the understanding that half the proceeds go to the park. Abcve that, the managers of the skating rink are r'ng to donate half the skating receipts after the game, for the same purpose. If the same class of basket ball is put up next Friday night that was seen last evening, the public will help a geod cause along, and In turn receive some value for their liberality. Cai of Tlianks.
