MRS. WIGGS OF THE
CABBAGE PATCH
Baker Players to Present Famous
Comedy Next Week Beginning
Sunday
A play that arouses the sweetest
thoughts in the seeing of it and the
sweetest memories in the thinking of
it after one has seen it is Mrs. Wiggs
of the Cabbage Patch, which The
Baker Players will delight Portland
audiences with all next week begin
ning with the usual matinee Sunday.
It is just the simple stoYy of a neigh
borhood of rather unusual people.
They are all poor folks and simple
folks and dwell in a dingy section of
Louisville, Ky., known as The Cab
bage Patch.
The action centers around the guar
dian angel of the patch, Mrs. Wiggs,
known as the very spirit of optimism
a wonderful character, to whom
everyone else comes with joys and
troubles, sure of finding one who
knows how to sympathize in the way
that comforts and cheers; who can
always find a path that leads to
brighter places, and who is blessed
with a philosophy of life, which if we
all had would make this old world an
entirely different place to live in.
The whole play is comedy the broad
est and cleanest kind.
The characters are for the most
part eccentric, and to many of us
might seem overdrawn, but not to
those who have mingled with the
lowly folks, whose lives are right on
the ragged edge of poverty from
cradle to grave. The scenes are all
laid in and about the home of Mrs.
Wiggs and the other principal char
acters concerned, familiar to all
readers of the book are Mis' Hazy,
Hiram Stubbins, the little Wiggs chil
dren with the geoprapnical names,
Mrs. Shultz, Mrs. Eichorn, Cris, Lovey
Mary, little Tommy and many others.
A constant delight to old. and young
is Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.
The regular Baker matinees will be
given Wednesday and Saturday and
the bargain night Monday.
ROSE STAHL TO APPEAR
At the Heilig theatre, Miss Rose
Stahl will begin an engagement of
three nights, commencing Thursday,
May 8, with a special price matiness
Saturday, in her new part of "Maggie
Pepper."
Charles Klein's piece is called a
comedy, and the remembrance of the
spectator of the play is that it has
many bright lines and comis situa
tions, but underneath it all is the
sense of the very human story of the
department store girl which the auth
or set out to tell. This story is em
phasized by the acting of Miss Stahl,
for she makes this "Maggie Pepper"
a very real, genuine woman whom

are laid in London, and the action
action takes place during three days.
Thomas Pelling, a tea merchant,
has returned home to find his young
wife converted to the cause of the
enfranchisement of women. She has
invited to her home a middlfiraged
builder of theories whose disciples
call him "the master," and a woman
whose mission is to make women in
tolerant of such shackles as children
and a huband. The wife decides that
he is a petted plaything and a doll
dnly made for caresses, and revolts
against what she consideres his tyran
ny. The poor husband is aghast at the
change in his life partner and Itnows
not what to do. On the advice of a
married sister, who is of a practical
i turn of mind, he pretends to fall in
with the ideas that his wife has em
braced. Then, .o show how advanced
he has become, the husband intro
duces into the house a beautiful wom
an with a Greek soul, who he thinks
needs converting also. This has the
effect of making the wife jealous, and
one by one she renounces her ideas,
as she finds that thy do not fit with
her real nature. The complications
are of an amusing description.
Mr. Drew's support includes Mary
Boland, Hubert Druce, Alice John,
Margaret Watsono and Walter Solder-
LAND SUIT FILED
John W. Loder, through Dimick &
Dimick, filed suit on Saturday to clear
title to lots 3 and 4, Orchard Hill. The
action is directed against C. E. Ron
nell and all others claiming interest
or title to the property. This is the
fourth case to clear title that has
been filed in the circuit court during
the week; and the general movement
to uniravel tangled deeds of long
standing is merely another indication
of the activity in Clackamas county
real estate that has lately been in
evidence.

Though the baseball season is but a
few weeks old. Ed Walsh has already
appeared in more games than any other
pitcher. He is taking bis regular turn
in the box and is being used as a pinch
pitcher.
At the rate Walsh is being used he
is on a fair way to establish another
record for amount of work he will do
in a single season, though the chances

ate that he would prove more effective
if Tgiven the amount of rest between
games that a pitcher is entitled to.
He has done more work during the
past eight or nine seasons than any
other pitcher In the game, but it is a
question how long he will be able to
stand the strain which is forced on him
in the hope of keeping the White Sox
in the race. ,
That the St. Louis Brow.ns added
another mighty clever pitcher to their
string when they secured Weilman, the
giant left bander, is being proved by
the. splendid work the youngster is do
ing. W'eilman has twirled fine ball
since the start of the campaign, and
the chances are that be will show a lot
of improvement as he goes along. Hei
is a monster in size, being, six feet five
and a half inches in height and weigh
ing around 200 pounds
Every now and then a pitcher of
ability is allowed to slip Into the minor
league only to be recalled by some ma
jor league club and make good. Tom
Hughes of the Washingtons had this
experience, and now Fred Falkenberg
of the Clevelands seems destined to do
th,same thing. His pitching this sea
son shows him to be much too valuable
a man to have spent any time in the
minors. Falkenberg has always been
a winner, yet there was a prejudice
against him because he had been drop
ped by a major league club. There is
no doubt that In many instances a
pitcher with experience in the majors is
of more value to a big league club than
some of the green youngsters who are
brought into fast company.
Do the bugs know that there are two
kinds of athletes actively participating
in baseball? Yep; "ball players" and
"pitchers." No ball tosser counts the
pitcher as a "ball player." He is con
sidered in the light of a specialist or of
a man embarked in a wholly different
line of trade. Now and then when
mention is made of some hurler who
can bat. and field as well as pitch a
chorus will rise from the circle-"Oh,
yes well, that fellow is a ball player!"
The star pitcher of today, as a rule, is
such a weak and helpless thing outside
of his own business that he doesn't fig
ure as a "bull player" at any time. "In
a few jnore years," says Tom Clarke,
the Cincinnati Reds' catcher, "it will
be quite possible for clerks, bookkeep
ers, eyeglassod teachers, to develop
pitching wisdom, gr on the field, pitch
good ball, solemnly strike out every
time at bat. leave all the fielding to the
other players and go home at night
without even knowing whether the
umpire should but or where the short
Btop ought to be located. Pitchers used
to be ball players locg ago. but not any
more." - .
Beans to Separate Bones.
Anatomists, when they wish to sep
arate the bones of a skull, sometimes
resort to a very peculiar procedure.
They fill the skull with small beans
and place it in a vessel of water. The
beans swell and rend the skull apart
at the sutures. The well known Ger
man physiologist Grehaut measured
the force which the beans are capable
of exerting under these conditions and
found that it indicated five atmos
pheres. equ:l to the average pressure
i the boiler of a sle.'mi tncine.

Gladstone has a mystery on its
hands. Whether the mystery is in
human form, or whether a weird
species of animal or bird is at large,
has not yet been determined, but
many investigators are working upon
the problem, and it is hoped that it
may shortly be solved.
The mystery consists in the per
sistent disappearance of soap of all
sorts that is left on back porches and
other unguarded places by Gladstone
housewives. Many women, now that
the weather has turned warm and
summery, do much of their housework
out of doors, and oftentimes leave
partly used cakes of laundry or toilet
soap about when they are through.
Later they are unable to find these
pieces of soad. One Gladstone house
wife, who is sleeping in a tent so
that she shall have rosy cheeks, has
during the past week, she avers, pur
chased no less than five cakes of
castile soad because of the disappear
ances. Whether boys have suddenly de
veloped a penchant for cleanliness,
and are appropriating" the soap, or
whether some strange, soap-eating
beast is at large is the mystery that
is now worrying Gladstone folk.

. A Terrible Punishment.
A man suspected of treason in Mo
rocco was punished by having the
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. It is a common
belief that this punishment causes
mortification to set in and that thie
hand decomposes, but such is not the
case, for by the time the leather wears
off the hand is healed, the result being
that the hand is rendered useless and
remains closed forever. It is a punish
ment not often in use. but is some
times indicted in cases of murder or
constant theft. It is a punishment
that cannot be applied except by the
sultan's orrs. -- Blackwood's Maga

The cartoon which appeared in Fri
day morning's Enterprise was drawn
by Thornton Howard, the son of Mrs.
A. E. Howard, of this city. The young
man is a student of the University of
Oregon, where he is completing hi3 .
second year of college work. He was
born in this city about 19 years ago,
and since had lived either in or near
Oregon City. Before going to the
unversity, he "attended the Oregon
City high school and the Washington
high school in Portland.
The cartoon represented a studi
ous young man at the University of
Oregon,' surrounded by boods. Aboue
his head hung a damocolecian sword
held by two slender threads. On one
of these a saw tooth worm was
gnawing away. The worm represent
ed F. J. Parkinson, the man who is
seeking to institute a referendum pe
tition withdrawing support from the
university. .
The sketch would do credit to many
a professional cartoonist. Howard
hag had no training in drawing, and
his friends in ths city are greatly
pleased by his work.
