This clever play is a musical satire

gets himself into nil. manner of scrapes
and his actions during this time furn
ish many a heart v laugh. Mr, Clifford
plays the role of the gay young nuvu,

he also sings many good songs which
are really new, "Believe Me."

USELESS CONSUMPTION OF

Siokane, Wash., Dee. 25. Dr. J. B.
Anderson, city health officer, promul
gated yesterday a list of "don'ts" for
Christmas, the principal one being
'Don't abuse the stomach on Christ
mas."
"The conglomerate mass of indiges
tible matter usually put into the stom
ach on Christmas," said Dr. Anderson
"causes nature to exact a penalty in
the shape of acute indigestion.
r'The great amount of useless food
consumed at a Christmas dinner is a
great economic waste. It i9 little short
of a crime to gorge one's self with a
dinner which ittVil take in the pro

hours to got rid of. "

LAYING A BRITISH GHOST.
East India Natives Used an English
Formula, So They Thought.
Lord Crewe, secretary of state for
Indlu, told a story of the Jungle when
bidding goodby to a number of officers
newly appointed to government serv
ice in India at an Informal reception
at tho Indlu ollice.
"I remember heurlng years ago in
Indlu u story of a young subaltern who
went nlone on a shooting expedition
awny into the wild country of the
Malabar coast. The poor fellow wns
attacked by fever In tho Jmisle. died
and was buried, and the people where
he died felt themselves In no little dif
ficulty as to bow bis spirit might be
pncllled and uot bnunt them.
"It was necessary, therefore, to
place upon his grave something dis
tinctively British, which would keep
the spirit quiet They were a hundred
miles from any cuutoivment, but I wns
told that a small party of these simple
folk went down to this cantonment
and purchased a bottle of whisky, two
bottles of soda water and a paper of
cheroots, which they placed on the
grave, and I wns told that, in spite of
dlllleultles, every year n party of them
trotted down for the same purpose.
