Put a Bet On Him.

Don’t poke fun at the boy who comes in from the forks of the creek, with seed in his hair and mud on his face, patches on the north department of his pants, and just one gallus on. He may look seedy now, but ten years from now he may be president of some bank, pastor of-some church, judge of some court or physician to some people. Just because a boy lives in .town, wears two kinds of socks, parts his hair in the middle, sucks at a cigaret, curls his hair on his mother’s curling tongs, and has a daddy with spondulix to bum, that is no sign that he is going to run this country in the future. We’ll put our money on the sound, sane and sensible boy with the folks on the creek.

Josephine Turck Baker’s production of “By Right of the Law,” which comes to the opera house on Saturday, April 24th, is one.oi the season’s most decided successes, and is a show which has been pronounced by press and public alike as one full of good strong heart interest. The cast is one of special merit and the salaries are much higher than the average of shows playing this city. “By Right of the Law” was initially produced at the Princess theatre, Chicago, where it was viewed by some of the world’s best dramatic critics who were unanimous in their praise of the acting as well as the piece itself. The company carries special scenery and effects for the production of the piece and are sure to please the most skeptical audience.
