Tex.', April IB A public playground one mile long. 200 foet wide for Its entire length, bordered on each Hide with four rows of shade trees, containing many beautiful flower beds, a lone swimming pool in the renter, with to bath houses will be leeded In pcriwiulty to the people of San Antonio by K. F. Collins. This announcement was made today by Mr. Collins, a director In the Civic Improvement league, at. the meeting of that organization at the Ounter hotel. Collins Gardens where the playground is being laid out lies between South Flores street and the International & Great Northern railway tracks, and is h part of the ground where farming by Irrigation was first demonstrated in Han Antonio. It is a famous show place with Its wonderful artesian wells and highly productive ten and 1wenty-acre truck farm. The beauty of the landscape will Iw continued and added to In the playground at an expen so of $50,tM)i by Mr. Collins. He has been quietly proceeding with his plan for some ilm, having had landncttpe gardeners at work, walks laid nut, plana for miniature lakes and swimming pool all completed. This swimming pool will divided, one-half for women and children, the other half for men and boys. At each end will be a Greek temple-liko bath house with pillars giving a classic outline. Mr. Collins Is planting two rows of hackberry trees, one row of Knglish walnuts budded on black walnut, and one row of budded pecan. In addition to this, he Is growing at the Collins Gardens 125.000 plants of different varieties, all of which are to be used in ornamentation at various places. Discussing this magnificent gift to the city for all time, Mr. Collins Bald: "There will be no restrictions whatever. This playground will be for all the public. As the city grows, the ilemands for parks will increase. 1 want to leave this recreation place as beautiful as It Is possible to make It to the people of my home. 1 would rather have It as my monument than the greatest pile of sculptured stone architecture rould design." RELIEF FOR THE LAUNDRESS. Under old-fashioned methods laundry work was n severe burden. Rub. rub. rub and scrub, scrub, scrub on a wnsh-board till the back ached, the limbs were weary and the hands became red and rough. There Is no need of going through this ordeal today, because Hewitt's Kasy Task soap lightens this work fully one-half and makes It much less disagreeable. .lust, buy two cakes for ten rents, and If the first Is not satisfactory return the other and get your full money back. Foeled by the Kilts. At Tsl-el-Keblr the first highland regiment that hud been seen in Ejzypt was encamped npart from the rest of the Kngllxh army. The natives took ft into their beads that these were the wire of the English soldiers left unguarded. The oriental Imagination determined that the chance was too good to be misled and hastily arranged an expedition to carry off the women. I have heard that they were very much astonished at the reception that they met and that they changed their minds and told each other that among these Incomprehensible Kngllli the hort petticoat was a rle of honor nd only given to those who bnd prored their bravery In fighting. -Egypt ns We Know It." Slcopo Uoll Appotlto Fine And Feeling Like a New Man After Being a Nervous Wreck and Unable to Do a Stroke of Work. Mr. B. Arthur Jordan, R. I D. No. 3. High Point. X.

"Eight Pouter Pigeons" Chorus

,0 4 a In the "Newlyweds and Their Baby" REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD BIG BANQUET (American News Service) Kansas City. Mo.. April 14. The committee In charge of arrangements for the banquet of the Association of Young Republicans of Missouri to be given here tomorrow night Is in receipt, of advices indicating a large attendance of delegates from all over the State. Governor Madley and a number of other prominent parly leaders are scheduled for addresses. i At Local Theaters "The Eclipse Hat." The "Kclipse hat." latest fashion in Parisian millinery, will reach Richmond. The first speciman of this ?- cullar, newfangled "creation" to be Been west of Broadway may be found In "The Sweetest Girl in Paris," which comes to the Gennett iext week. It Is on the blonde head of Miss Georgy Cable, one of the figuarntes in that clever musical entertainment. This most modern device for obscuring the fair, femanine face in u coquettish manner has just been imported from Paris by "Mine. Lucille," the dashlonable milliner of Fifth avenue, who. in private life, is Iidy Duff-Gor don, with a husband in the British peerage and a sister celebrated in near-literature under the name of Eleanor Glyn. Miss Cable selected her "Kclipse" In New York a few weeks ago before coming west to poin "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" and thus is the pioneer of the new fashion in the west. The hat Is only a one-quarter "eclipse," but" some of the more extreme types run from three-quarters to a total In the obscuration of the visage. When the "eclipse hat" become common, gentlement will be able to dis tinguish their "lady-friends" only by the costume and general contour. At a distance of two blocks, recognition will bo mere guess work. Newlyweds and Their Baby. A really delightful musical comedy wllh farclal leanings is "The Newlyweds and Their Ruby," coining to the Gennett Kaster Thursday. Kverybody knows that the foundation of it is the series of cartoons drawn by George McManus and made familiar all over the land by loading newspapers. The irrepressible Snookums is personated by lively little James K. Rosen, who earrieaturcs babyhood with masterful touches in the mimetic art, and whose grotesque performance evokes general admiration. This famous midget has a good deal more professional capital than the mere accident of birth that made hint small he can act intelligently and effectively, and he is possessed of a sense of humor that helps his over many an obstacle before which he might otherwise pause dismayed. The self-abnegating parents of the baby prodigy sprung full-panoplied from the McManus imagination are still played by the trim Countess Olga von Ilatzfeldt and leo Hayes. The lattcr's makeup is a long step toward the external ugliness of Dada Pewlywcd. and his dancing of the graceful acrobatic order, is a notable feature of the representation. Lovey Newly wed is very charming in the Von Ilatzfeldt personality, a model of twentieth century neatness in the fit and mode of her gowns, and an inspiring model of pround young motherhood, in the most Interesting stage of that divine distinction. Girl and the Tramp. "The Girl and the Tramp." at the Gennett tonight, is a play in a class of Its own. possessing a strong melodramatic plot. It deals with the unscrupulous business methods of a bad banker, who believes in getting money, no matter how he gets it. A most interesting love story runs through the play depicting a woman's efforts and sacrifices in behalf of the love she has for the man of her choice, a love so strong that she turns from her own people. The play is not an ordinary melodrama. it is a play marked by realism and originality. The theme embraced In the "Girl and the Tramp." is a new one to the American playwright. The comedy of the play is of the most sparkling order, and is furnished by Dainty Golda Zone, and the tramp detective who assumes many disguises, the first of which is that of a typical Koight of the Road.

The Canadian brother certainly differs from us In several strongly marked respects. A Clevelaud man went into the leading restaurant of Toronto and said to the waiter la his customary quick lunch voice: "Crackers 'n milk cup coffee apple pie." ' The waiter bent n little lower. "Beg pahdon. sir:' The Cleveland man said- it again and, being Bilghtly irritated, 6aid it faster. The waiter shook bis bead. "I'm afraid we 'aven't It. sir, he deprecated, as licshimura Togo might say. "Haven't you any crackers?" "No. sir." Then, with a sudden Inspiration. "We ave biscuits, sir." "All right; bring me biscuits. And you can give me some milk, can't you milk in a bowl?" Til inquire, sir." Then another Inspiration. "We can give you coffee, sir." "Good: now about the apple pie?" "No. sir. We've never nd It to my knowledge. sir. I think there's no call for it." Another Inspiration. "We ave apple tnrt. sir." "Fine! Bring me biscuits 'n milkcoffee apple tart, and be as quick as possible, please." But It was exactly thirty-seven minutes later when the Cleveland man brushed a way the crumbs and reached for his hat. Cleveland Plain Dealer. HOLD THE RIGHT IDEALS. Latent Courage and the Power of Mental Suggestion. We not only can strengthen mental weaknesses and deficiencies, but it is perfectly possible to increase the general ability through the power of suggestion, says Orisou Swett Marden in Success Magazine. Indeed, the 'susceptibility of nil the mental faculties to Improvement, to enlargement. Is something remarkable. Sometimes very strong faculties are latent until especially aroused. There are many people who pass for cowards, who are humiliated because they have so little courage, when, if they only knew bow. they could strengthen this deficient faculty wonderfully by holding the courageous Ideal, by thinking and doing the courageous deeds, by carrying the thought of fearlessness, by reading about heroic lives, by constantly thinking the heroic thought and trying to live It. The courage may be small in a person because It bas never been called into sufficient exercise. It may need only to be aroused. There are many people living lives of mediocrity who might do great things, might become mental giants. If tbfir dormant faculties were aroused their general ability Improved and enlarged.

Big Attraction with 200 Peoe at Gennett Three Days Next Month. Preparations on a Ecale of niassiveness completely eclipsing everything heretofore attempted in connection w it h t'.ie staging of a spec tacular play : in Richmond, were arranged last eve-: ning for the presentation of Klaw & Krlanger"s stupendous production of j Iavc Wallace's stirring historical 1 drama, '"Hen-! iur." at the Gennett thea- j ter. Mav 4. 5 and t. when iu addition!

In tho ,u.rfnr monnc . m..in.w u.iicient hair dressing known. It will

be given on Saturday. May t. The staging of Hen Hur in Rich mnnrf is :-n event thai the best i.at-i ions of amusements as well as leaders 1 in religious and educational work have long looked forward to. The tremendous success of this play in the larger cities of the country coupled with the fact that there has never been but one company in existence interpreting the work, has made it a difficult task for Klaw & Krlanger to arrange the tour each season. All sections of the country demand the play. Now that Richmond has at least been favored, then: is no doubt that the event will make history in its records of the city. Ben I Iur will attract people in great numbers from the surrounding territory. Miss Affie McVicker. resident manager of the Gennett, is arranging a campaign of publicity that would do credit to P. T. Barnum, if he were alive today. She has contracted to advertise the produc-1 tion in every town, village and hamlet in this section of the state. K. G. Cooke, general agent for Klaw & Erlanger, who is in the city, superintending the preliminaries, attendant to the staging, makes the following statement: '"To present Ben Hur on the Gennett stage, several alterations are necessary. T.ie width between the fly floors is adequate for our drop scenes, but the carrying capacity of the rigging loft must be doubled to take care of the immenseq uantity of scenic para-' phernalia. while the bridge attached to the rear wall will be taken out entirely, thereby adding several extra feet of working space. This completed, a sub-stage will be constructed directly under the present stage, which will be cut into a series of sliding traps. This arrangement furnishes a solid foundation for the eight horses and treadmills employed in the thrilling chariot race scene. "To the person not familiar with stage details this work might appear difficult. It is not, however. I have handled Hen Hur ever since it has and treadmills employed in the thrillthe same difficulty in nearly every theater in this country. The mere mention of these facts should convince the public that a presentment of Wallace's stirring work "Will be given that will satisfy the most exacting. ' With the traveling Hen Hur company we carry about 2'0 people. This Includes an orchestra of 20 pieces composed of artists employed for many seasons at' the Metropolitan opera house. New York, handling the grand opera scores at that amusement temple. The orchestra is in charge cf Guenther Kiesewetter for several years the head of the New York Arion society. To transfer the scenec equipment from one civ to another eight t.O-foot baggage cars are required, while two Arms Palace stock enrs are utilized for the horses and camels employed in the spectacle. Hen Hur is a tremendous attraction from every point of view and no expense will be spared in putting forth just as complete a performance in this city as one would enjoy at the Illinois Theater, Chicago, the New Amsterdam theater. New York City, or the Grand Opera House, at Cincinnati, Ohio. Followed Instructions.

GREAT DRAINAGE PROJECT STARTS Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Reclaim Million Acres of Rich Land.

(American News Service) Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., April 15. The largest drainage project ever undertaken in the United States, under private auspices, has been initiated in j the upper peninsula" of Michigan.! When completed it will throw on the market for cultivation, nearly a million acres of the richest black muck soil to lie found in the state. The! project is planned and will be carried out by the Western Land Securities company of St. Paul, who have recently purchased an area in Northern Michigan almost equivalent in size to the state of Rhode Island, and in cluding when drained some of the richest land in Michigan. The lands affected by this huge drainage project lie in the counties of Chippewa, Luce and Schoolcraft, and today comprise the greatest swamp in Michigan. Since the lumbermen cut the valuable timber off these lands years ago. they have reverted to their original wild state and today provide protection for Innumerable wild animals, dcr, moose, bear and beaver a veritable hunter's paradise. In draining this great "dismal swamp"' of Michigan, two natural river courses will be utilized, the Taquamcnon, made famous by Longlellow's Hiawatha, and the Manistique, given a place in literature by Stewart Edward White's Blazed Trail. The Taquanienon, after a sluggish course through scores of miles of swamps, tumbles into Lake Superior over two beautiful falls. The lip of the upper falls is to be blasted away and the river above dredged to the necessary lepth to drain the. numerous lateral ditches which will guide the standing LTHE KEYSTONEj TO HEALTH IS HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS The Bitters is a boon to those in convalescence when a tonic and strength maker is needed.
