Ail event of the Uieiil.ri.cnl season

magnificent production, to lie seen nl

wholesonio and simple story Is one of
the most dollBhtrul plays of recent
years. It would be difficult to imag
ino a prettier scene than that with
which the first act of "roily" closes,
it Is there that the young girl of the
circus world sets her first Inskht into
things that are .higher and better
when, as she regains consciousness
niu! realizes her helplessness, the
minister reads to her, at her reiiuest.
those memorable lines from the book
of Ruth: "Knlreat me not to leave

play with no less excellent humor
than Polly's slang, when sho first con
verses with the minister about his peo
ple. Sho eals him a "sky pilot" and,
talking of her business as compared
with his ministerial duties, says:
"One year you give them the rotten
est kind of a show and they eat It up:
the neNt year you give 'em a knockout
and it's a frost," Those arc but ran
dom examples. The circus scenes of
tho third act are revelations of stage
craft. It's all there, the rings, the
horses, elephants, the clowns and aero
bats and everything and everybody ;
else. The setting of the last scene of
the third act Is as wonder-j

offers more pure fun and wholesome
entertainment than any play lias bad
in a long time, hence its success.

one 15 years ago, and have been much
interested in the rapid progress of
scientific farming. When I was at
Agricultural college teaching was just
coming into vogue, and consisted
merely of the analysis of soils and
cereals. It was considered a great ;
waste of time and great follishness to ,
