“THE WAITING SOUL"
AT EMPRESS TOMORROW
Mme. Petrova will appear at the
Empres this evening in “The Waiting
Soul” a famous five act drama of
a woman who risked ruin for the sake
of the truth. Should a wife who has
made a mistake early in life tell her
husband everything? Should a hus
band tell his wife of his boyhood
scrapes? Or should both keep silent
and allow themselves to believe each
the soul of honor and integrity? Go
to the Empress tomorrow night and
see how the problem is handled by
Mme P.etrova.

The proper study of mankind (just
now) is the food question. Meatless
d^ys and wheatless days are sure
steps toward fightless days.
Jos. Bourke, government agent for
suppression of the sale of liquor to
the natives, arrived In town on the
steamship Victoria, and will spend a
few days with friends before going to
the westward on the Dora. Mr. Bourke
spent the winter to the westward,
looking after business matters, and
brought back a number of native cur
ios to be added to his line collection.
He has one of the largest and most
valuable assortments.of native and
old Russian curios In the territory,
and Is constantly adding to It on his
trips.

SHELDON BUYING PRESENTS
News from Fairbanks is to the ef
fect that Bobble Sheldon the popular
stage driver, Is spending much mon
ey these days on wedding presents.
He Is examining festons of pearls, dia
mond brooches, silver sets and all ar
ticles dear to the heart of the prospec
tive bride. For himself? Oh, no; he
Is acting as Cupid’s agent for a man
along the trail who Is busy to go to
town and buy his own presents. But
It will give Robert experience, against
the time—but that will be another
story.
DEATH LAYS HAND ON
DEAD CHAMP’S FRIENDS
ABINGTON, Mass.: Death has laid
its hand on John L. Sullivan’s ani
mal friends at his farm here. The day
after the former champion was huried
"Colonel Corn," his favorite horse,
dropped dead in his stall and the next
day another constant companion, a
bulldog given him by “Yank” Sulli
van, of Syracuse, N. Y., died. To com
plete the list, the ring hero’s cow and
two collie dogs in which he had tak
en great pride died last week.
EXPLODED PLOTS
Stories of broken glass having
been found in yarn and gauze have
come to us occasionally. In one in
stance upon investigation it was
found that one of the women had un
knowingly broken the crystal of her
wrist watch while making surgical
dressings.
This week another chapter reported
finding broken giaos in a case of yarn.
A survey developed the fact that the
packing box was marked “lamp chim
neys.” The chapter decided to use 90
per cent common sense and gave out
the yarn, deciding that the box had
not been thoroughly cleaned before
shipment was made.
A little investigation of this kind
will often save a lot of useless worry.
