Guilty?" New Sketch for Bowles, Proves Sensation of Vaudeville Actor's Friendship for Author Results in Production of Written-to-Order Playlet That Is Making Hit on Stage.. -1; . .1 3 ' 'V l i try ; V If If '4 -I v. i 4 I 1 A . -1 As DONALD BOWLES, VS "Cl'ILTY." DONALD BOWLES; who, with his company of four,, play "Guilty?" at the Orpheum soon. Is quite as rlever a staze director as actor, and thereby hangs a tale. , ' Last Summer he was playing what is known as a Summer stock engage- ment as leading man or the Keill com pany, at St. Paul. His friend of long? standing, Georgs Bloomquest. an- Or pheura -favorite, was" playing a Summer engagement in the same company. Mr, Bloomquest was about to give a trial ' performance of his new sketch, . Nerve." by Victor II. Smalley, which has since proved a success- in vaude ville. Rlnnmniipnr. innisleil that the Sketch shouldn't fro pn unless Bowles' had the absolute direction . of the production. The author, perforce, submitted, and contrary to the usual custom, despite the numerous controversies at rehear sals concerning change of text and sit uations. Mr. Bowles and Mr. Smalley became fast friends. Smalley decided that vaudeville was the one place for Bowles, and that he was the one man to . write Bowies' sketch. Bowles laughingly assented, providing Smalley would write him as good a sketch as he had written for Bloomquest. Two weeks later Smalley suddenly stopped Bowles on the atret and said, "I've got it:" "Got what?"' said Bowles. . ' . 'A sketch as good as Bloomquest's," replied Smalley. "Humph," said Bowles grtmJy, "I don't" come from Missouri, but I was born in Philadelphia, which means I've got to be shown." "AH right," said Smalley, "one Week more and I will show you." In one week Bowles was "shown," Bowles accepting It as the best dra matic sketch he had ever read. '. Then came the question of name. "Guilty?" was decided upon, and all who have 'seen It agree " It "could not have a more appropriate title. The sketch has been the ' dramatlo sensa tion of vaudeville. Mr. -.Bowles has been for several years one of the great est favorites to -appear In this city. - stte- sJteJeton-stTOero5- the - joint and knowa whera ana now w n.no cisions."

Must Foremen Wear Top Hat to Hold Men? George W. Slmona niscusaea Pro pensity of Common Labor to Throw Vp Soft Job and Keep Moving. "W Counterfeiter Tells Odd Tale of Hypnotic Control by His Father Commanded Telepathically to Go to Parent, He Received Bag of Bogus Coin, and Was Told to Exchange It for Real. BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 20. (Special.) Although ha protested that he was under a hypnotic spell, his father being the hypnotist, and that while in this state, acting upon suggestion,- lie passed counterfeit gold pieces, bearing an almost perfect imitation of Uncle Pams seal, and although lie accom panied this declaration with a strange tale. Henry Lee, 2 sears old, convicted during the Moscow term of court on the charge of counterfeiting. Will be hur ried to the Federal prison at Leaven . worth, Kan., within a few days- to serve 18 months at hard labor. His wife and .four children will be left alone In their lowly home In Northern Idaho. In some respects the case Is pitiful. ) The tale of the arest of Lee is soon told. For some time the Government inspectors had been trying to trace ' the origin And the distributor of bogus gold coin circulated In Montana and Idaho. They picked up several clews which led to the working out of a theory that the money was being manufactured in Montana and taken out of that state Into Northern Idaho and other states and there exchanged for good coin. So cleverly .executed was the counterfeit money that it bore only one stamp of being bogus and that was that Its weight was lighter than the coin issued from the.; United States mint. The coin was ' traced to Lee. who lived in a small town in the northern part of the state, and passed It in the neighboring cities. When run down by the secret service men he had Just thrown away a sack containing iO f0 gold piece and one H piece. His conviction followed, regardless of the un- . usual story he told United States DIs- trict Attorney LIngenfelter just before his trial. Lee asserted that he had been raised as a youth without the care of a mother. Early in boyhood he experienced a great fear of his father and held him almost in terror, so great was the power of the elder Lee over the son. Raised under these conditions and without schooling, the counterfeiter led. the life of one who was more at ease with nature than at home with his parents. Early in life the father engaged in counterfeiting and the vounger Lee was commissioned to carry out a part of the general campaign to place bad money. The boy knew little of the Industry of his father and asserted that until the time of his arrest he never attempted to distribute bogus coin. He married, and had four children, all of whom are alive. For many years, he said, he had been under the direct Influence of his father, who hypnotized him and forced him to do things that he could not have done normally. Early last Summer his father telepathically called him to" Montana. Unable to resist the call, he went. His father then told him he must take coun terfeit coin to Idaho and pass it. Lee refused. The father insisted and finally commanded. The result of this confer ence was that Lee took back with him to his Idaho home a sack of counterfeit money. His conscience would not permit him to pass it and for months he lived In terror. Hia father In the meantime failing to receive returns, called upon the .son again to pass the money and threatened him with- bodily Injury. Driven at last to perform that .which he knew was wrong. Lee, while, as he asserts, hypnotized, started to dispose of the gold pieces. ." "When Lee's case was on the docket for trial the District Attorney received a pitiful letter from the forsaken wife, who asserted that she had Just borne another child and petitioned that her husband be spared. Since the conviction the elder Lee and his wife have been arrested on the same charge and an additional one of manu facturing counterfeit money, and their counterfeiting outfit has been confiscated. They will stand trial in the Federal Court at Helena, It la believed the Lees have floated much of the bad coin that has been found in the Northwest during the past few years and that they became wealthy i"n the business. Lilian Tingle Tells How to Carve Turkey Proper Way to Cut Vp and Serve Bi Bird xt Thursday I Made I ndcrtandablfe. BY LILIAN TINGLE. PORTLAND. Or.. Nov. 13. Plrue tell In The Sunday Oregonlan what U the proper wav to cane h turkey. If carved at table, should this be done &y the host or hostess? MRS. M. B: I WILL answer your last question first with a quotation from a recent writer on the decaying art of carving: "There was a time when the head of the table always wielded the carving tools, more or less skillfully, before a dutly impressed audience of womankind. Today, more and more frequently, the position is re versed, until it is by no means uncommon to see a feminine hand deftly severing Joint and wing. "The reason is obvious. While man was the hunter he was Toreed. to acquire the hunter's accurate knowledge of anatomy, without which a carver is at an absolute loss. With the onward march of civiliza tion the hunter is merged in the modern business) man. with nothing left but the tradition that his must be the hand to hold the carving-knife. Meanwhile his wife has acquired a more intimate Knowi eriee of this hranch- of things domestic. She has a cooking school knowledge of HAT In the world Is the matter with the laboring man?" In terrogated George W. Simons, man ager of the 'Pacific Bridge Company." "They must all be mighty prosperous," he continued, "for I figure that worK on the new O. R. & N. tunnel on thf Peninsula Is about the softest snap for a -working man in Winter there Is around this part of the' , country, but can we keep them? Not -on your life. They stay a few days, long enough to get. dried ouU- get a few of the kinks taken out of their stomachs with our good grub and then they hike."- Mr. Simons was talking over the big bore now under construction which will give the Harriman line easy access Into the city over the Puget Sound branch through St. John. Work at the south end of the tunnel Is going ahead night and day, and a hole some 4p0 feet long has been made in the bank through which the trains will run. A gang of about 15 men had just come in for their time, and Mr. Simons was moved to discuss the peculiarities of the labor ing man. ........ "They are mostly young fellows that are working on the tunnel," said he. "Where they come from or where they go nobody knows. But they come and they go. You would think that a man would bo glad to work In a warm, dry place, with good quarters and good food assured. Some of the half-starved specimens that come to ps for work we feel sure are good for all Winter In such' quarters, but they, get a few square meals under their belts and a few dollars In their pockets, and they are -off asaln. Nobody knows why. "Is it coming to me pass micic mo day foreman will have to wear a top hat and a frock coat and" the night foreman a dress suit, and where we shall have to furnish valets along with . t Mn't'EM what has erot into them.

Rx Dental Co.: " My Dear Sirs This is the first time that I lnve ever written a testimonial of anv kind, but I will gladly write one for you that you may publish any part of it, as I think the public should know of the (rood work you are doing in the dental line. - I have been a sufferer for many years with Pyorrhea in a very bad form, my teeth were nerfectly good but would be come loose and drop out; the agony I endured from this disease of the gums is bevond words; I couM not masticate mv food ot all; in fact, I lived on fluid, arid as a result my stomach was ruined and I finallv- became very sick. I tried nearly all the dentists, but could never get relief. One day a dentist persuaded nie to have about half of my teeth ex tracted and to wear a plate. I tried it and found I could not endure the nasty plate in my mouth. I was now worse than ever, only a few teeth left and the Pyorrhea as bad as ever. About tills time I heard of the Alveolar meth od. I interviewed the doctor in charge o" the San Francisco office and found him so confident that he could and would cure me that I Immediately went under the treatment. I am now wear ing a full upper and lower set of the Alveolar teeth and would not part with them at any price they are not only pretty to look at. but are useful you do not feel them In the mouth any more than you do your natural teeth. During mv treatment I found the Rex Dental Co", a reliable and trustworthy firm, and every promise thev made would Blwavs be fulfilled. There is an other dental company that claims to do Alveolar work, but I went to them be fore I knew of the Rex and they told me all they could do for me was to make a plate. . I gladly recommend the Rex Dental Co. and will add that no one should be without teeth or should be wearing a plate while this firm and its Alveolar method Is in existence. Very truly vours, (Signed) MRS. W. D. WATERS, j 35 Steiner st. We could quote hundreds of Just such letters if space permitted. The first step toward emancipation from a plate or brldgework Is to read our "Alveolar Dentistry." We send ti ls book free to those who write for it.

Vfter you have finished this book and read the book of testimonials you will want Alveolar teeth, it you are wear ing a plate or bridge.
