Polly of the Circus. The attraction at the Gennett on Saturday, " November 6, matinee and night will be that big New York success "Polly of the Circus" which Frederic Thompson the creator of the Hippodrome and Luna Park Coney Island, .New York City, produced and which ran an entire year to capacity et the Liberty theater and in which Fay Wallace is playing the title role. Mr. Thompson's comedy-drama develops a story that Is fresh, original, close to the soil, true to human nature and appealing to the best instincts of discriminating theater goers who appreciate and maintain the best form of a drama. The characters employed In the action of the story are simple, clean-hearted souls, people of a small town In the middle west, such types as every American knows. "Polly of the Circus" Is staged by that wizard of amusement enterprises Frederic Thompson, who is best known by the theater going public as the producer of "Brewsters Millions," "Via Wireless" and other theatrical successes. In the production of Polly, however, he has fairly outdone himself In a series of marvelous stap;a pictures and effects that are beautiful and striking in their artistic realism. In the third act a three ring circus is shown with all the attendant features that add true atmosphere to the picture. In this act alone a great many circus performers are employed Including clowns, acrobats, bare-back riders, tumblers, gymnasts, equestriennes, and everything that one sees at a regular circus. Mr. Thompson has surrounded Miss Wallace with a cast of well known players.

This play, which has been extraordinarily successful in its rim has been declared by critics nil over the world as one of the finest examples of play-writing ever given 1o the American public. Its career has been an epoch maker and wherever Nat Goodwin and the beautiful Maxine Elliott are known this play is synonmous with their names. Simple, though the theme of the story Is, yet It thrills the audience with an Intensity that the stillness would enable one to hear a pin drop. Here at last is a play which is a splendid specimen of literature. A great drama. A suberb company of players and a magnificent array of women's dressing.

The profuse, then again scanty, passages of the Kidney secretions, plainly showed that my kidneys were affected and I finally decided to try a kidney remedy. In the spring of 1906 I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store, and they helped me after other preparations had failed. At that time I told of my experience in a public statement and now I glady reendorse the remedy.

"Paid In Full." In the life of Fritz Williams, the Joe Brooks in the Eugene Walter play "Paid in Full." which comes to the Gennett on Thursday, November 4, is a romance extending through a second generation on one side. It began In a matinee affair that reversed the popular belief as to the way such things go. Instead of a girl in the audience falling in love with an actor on the stage, the actor in the audience fell In love with a woman on -the stage only he wasn't an actor then, only a kid. It was at the old Globe theater iu Boston. The play was the comedy "Our Boys." Williams' mother was in the company. The child was taken to see a performance. A woman came on the stage. Promptly Fritz lost his heart to her. He had eyes for nobody else the rest of the afternoon. At the end of the play he went back to his mother in her dresting room and confided to her that he was hoielessly infatuated with a member of the company, the "lady with the lovely hair." He asked to be presented to her. He was introduced to Miss Katherine Rogers. She had producd on the boy an impression common to his sex in that day. for sho was greatly admired and her hair was a crowning glory. v With the ready address of an adept. Master Fritz immediately told Miss Rogers of his admiration, and that night, in bed, when a realization of the hopelessness of his passion came to hint, because he was so young she would not wait for him to marry her, he sobbed himself to sleep. Ixmg after he always referred to her as "the lady with the beautiful hair." Time and events took Mr. Williams to the stage. As a member of the Lyceum company in New York he met Miss Katherine Florence. A second time he succumbed to the charm of an actress. Miss Florence is now Mrs. Fritz Williams. Her mother was the late Katherine Rogers. The Murray Theater. From the Pittsburg Press: Herman Bush of Bush and Peyser, the acrobatic comedians at the Murray this week, is a serious student of history as applied to athletics. Speaking of the past Olympic games in London and comparing ancient Grecian sporting records with achievements of today, he said: If the ancient Greek athletes who exhibited their prowess at Athens twenty centuries ago could witness the forthcoming Olympian games in London they would probably find more than one cause for astonishment. Proud as they were of the Stadium at Athens, its succesor at Shepherds Bush is considerably more than twice as large; for although It is only two feet longer, it is 300 feet wide, as com pared with the 130 feet of its prede cessor, and it has accommodation for 20,000 more spectators. In athletic feats, too, there is small doubt that the ancient Greek will be left behind by the modern Americans although unfortunately there- are few reliable records available for compari son. The famous race from Marathon to Athens, a distance of 24 miles, 1,500 yards, was, it is said seldom run under three hours, and when we con sider that a few years ago G. Cross land ran twenty miles in 1 hour, 51 minutes, 54 seconds (on the racing path it must be remembered) and that we have several runners almost equal ly good, there ought to be little difficulty in beating the Greek's time. Even the famous Euchides, who ran from Platea to Delphi and back, a distance of ninety-five miles in one day would have a poor chance against such men as Harry Vaughan of Ches ter, who covered 140 miles in 22 hours, 6 minutes, 25 seconds, and Littlewood, who averaged 104 miles a day for six successive days at New York twenty years ago. There is however, one recorded per formance in ancient Greece, which is to be credited, probably no one living could approach that amazing jump of Phayllus, who with the aid of weights and a springboard, is said to have cleared fifty-five feet, while our most muscular Samson would have their "work cut out" to rival Milo of Crete, who made light of car carrying a four year old heifer on his should er round the arena.

More over, certain deformities and painful affections have become so common from unhygienic footwear and from too prolonged standing that the idea Is prevalent that all feet are more or less ngly, painful and helpless. Even the Idea of the natural shape of the foot Is lost, and a false standard of shape, having as its basis the conventional shape of the shoe, has to a cer tain extent taken its place.

Wisconsin Man Steals Cow Get Money Wed Neighbor's Daughter
La Crosse, WTis., Oct. 29. Old Cherry, a cow belonging to Peter Eggler, of Mormon Coulee, never knew she was to be a villainess in a real love story, but that is what force of circumstances raade her. This is how. William Miller, a farm hand employed near Greenfield, fell madly in love with a neighbor's daughter, Miss Alma Will, and, as it was his sweetheart's mandate that he have $150 saved up before she would marry him, Miller, anxious to hasten his marriage, took rapid means to make the fortune. Peter Eggler had fine bunch of cows and Old Cherry was the finest of the lot. Miller had saved up $110 and he knew he could get the other $40 by the sale of Old Cherry, so one night last week he entered the pasture wher? the cows were chewing their cuds, and. selecting the finest of the bunch, drove her to LaCrosse. where he sold her for the necessary $40. It was while being driven away tha Old Cherry showed what a villainess she was by giving the swain away, or at least helping to. Old Cherry bawled and grunted all the way to La Crosse, as if she knew she was going to her death, and the neighbors along the Men Are Hysterical "Coddling," Says New York, Oct 29. Dr. Maud Glasgow, prominent as physician and suffragette, smiled when she read that Dr. Evans, chief of the health department of Chicago, had said that men insisted upon being "coddled," and said it was perfectly true. "If the same restrictions were imposed upon men in dress and habits that they for hundreds of years have imposed upon women, I believe the males would die out in about one generation," laughed Dr. Glasgow. "But, seriously," she continued, "men are actually less enduring physically than women and certainly they are more hysterical over their bodily ailments. "That woman can stand more pain than man, everybody knows. That she can stand more exposure to hardships, more wear and strain, almost anyone who stops to think will realize," went on Dr. Glasgow. "A normal woman should be as strong physically as a man. Temperamentally, a woman is different, but, in my opinion, she is of higher organic development than man. "Twenty-five years ago a woman was not allowed the proper outdoor exercise necessary to healthful physical development. She was 'coddled, and at the same time weakened. Men gave her to wear flimsy and foolish garments that would kill a man with pneumonia if he attempted to wear them. Women were not even conceded a brain. They were taught that feminine logic was a myth. "If they wanted anything, direct reasoning why they should have it would be met with jeers. What they wanted they would have to attain with diplomacy with tears and a display of seeming weakness. So from this at-
route told Eggler of this next day when the hunt for the bovine began. It was easy to trace the cow to La Crosse and find the butcher to whom she had been sold. In the meantime, Miller had returned to Greenfield with his $150 Intact, and arrangements for the wedding immediately were made. The unexpected increase in his fortune by $40 surprised his sweetheart and her people, but no questions were asked and every preparation was made for the wedding. A day before the event was to be held, however, officers, furnished by the La Crosse butcher with a description of the man who had sold him the cow, came out to take a look at Miller. One look was enough, and the near-groom was taken into custody. Shortly after he confessed to the theft and was sentenced to a year's imprisonment at Waupun. If Old Cherry had only gone to her death with her mouth shut. Miller believes he could have escaped detection until he could have saved enough money to have paid Eggler and all would have been well. Miss Will, the disappointed sweetheart, is prostrated with grief, and fears are felt for her sanity.
And Like Dr. Maud Glasgow titude, forced upon them, grew tbo pleasing fabrication of woman's hysteria. "As a matter of fact," Dr. Glasgow said firmly, "man is really the hysterical sex. Sentiment not chivalry and real kind heartedness, mind you, but sentiment not chivalry rules mankind, the wishy-washy matinee girl sentiment." Better Than Ever.

EMPLOYERS' OBLIGATIONS.
Accident Compensation and the Child Labor Problem. A striking phase of the child labor problem is suggested by a recent re port of the Pennsylvania department of mines. Within a period of six years ending with 1907 casualties in the coal mining industry of that state left 3.498 widows and 7,828 orphans. Says Chief Mining Inspector J. E. Roderick: "When a state prohibits the employment of children until they reach the age of fourteen it should iu justice provide for their care until they may be legally employed. A great work has been done by the people of Pennsylvania and of other states for the elevation of coming generations by raising the employment age. but I know whereof I speak when I say that humanity demands some provision for the care of these widows and orphans." Provision for the families of men crippled by the accidents of industry Is an important feature of labor legis lation in practically all of the nations of Europe. For the employer to compensate women and children raade de pendent by the casualties of production is accepted almost as readily as for the state to pension the families of soldiers and sailors slain in war, and the provision is made with equal ly good grace for the comfort of disabled workmen. In the United States the situation is different. We are generous in our compensation to the victims of war, but the American employer is only beginning to learn his dnty toward the victims of industrial accidents. The prosperity of our laboring classes is such that the need has probably never been so startling as in some of the nations of Europe, and even then our social legislation is decidedly backward. But with the increasing complexity of industrial and social life and the growing expense of living the need for better industrial accident compensation is now upon us. Pennsylvania is not alone in presenting the conditions described by Mr. Roderick. From 1902 to 1908. Inclusive. 628 widows and 1.533 orphans were left by coal miners killed at work In Illinois, and many other states doubtless present similar conditions both in this and in other industries. Since this is true and the wages of young children are so often the sole support of fatherless families it is time that employers obligations were brought more forcibly to public attention, and it is well that the European laws of workmen's compensation are being so widely studied with a view to their adoption in the United States. Their influence upon the child labor problem is not the least of reasons for revising our employers liability practices. George C. Stewart in Chicago TribuneA. CUccSra mt Mib.
