Never Had so Much Fun Since Reynolds Gave the Red Barn Dance back in 1904.
I like this game and I've raised
the limit. I will give a tleket free
to the Saturday night show at the
Majestic to every purchaser—man
or woman—in my Jewelry store
until Saturday night at 11 o'clock.
I will give a 50c sugar shell or
butter knife to every purchaser
of a 25c ticket at the same show
and to the first six ladies who
purchase tickets, a set of tea
spoons. Each ticket purchased
will have numbers and every fifth
tloket purchased thereafter will I
receive both a set of spoons and <
the shell or knife. i
Tickets on sale each night at <
the theater and at my store. i
Speaking of knives, I've got a I
"special" double-back aotlon, v
price-cutting "messer" and I'm

Dear Public, I must sell this I
stock, and, believe me, I am doing !
it. You are the best bunch of
buyers In the world. I know you r

WOULD OURB DIVORCE
BY IMPRI80NINQ FLIRTS
New York.— Prison for tlirts af
ter September, 1912, is the rem
edy for divorce suggested by As
semblyman Richard F. Hearn, of
Buffalo. Mr. Hearn said he would
introduce a bill to this effect at
the opening of the legislature in
January.
"I've been making a little in
vestigation of this flirting busi
ness," said Mr. Hearn. "I've found
that most of the divorces in this
country can be attributed to it.
Flirting has brought more tin
happiness than any custom that
has ever been inflicted upon the
United States.
"Take my word for it, you'll find
that nearly 90 per cent of the
people who have been separated
by the courts began their rela
tions by an inlondedly innocent
wink.
"I stood on Broadway lasl night
and saw more flirling than I have
seen since I was on the Pike atr
the St. I.ouis exposition.
"I intend my legislation to ap
ply equally to both sexes. Both
sexes are equally guilty."

The Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast is a British col
ony on the west coast of Afri-a.
Its climate is notoriously unheal
thy, the heat and moisture boiiiff
excessive; the const is lined with
unhealthy swamps and shallow
lakes, while the peculiar rock tTT
• the country is said to givr ofT, un«
der the influence of the air,and
moisture, large quantities of hy
drogen gas. The native towns are
crowded and dirty, intermittent
fevers and other diseases being
always present; these are pecu
liarly fatal to Europeans, though
the natives do not suffer so much*
The Hrhole region is more of'
loss a gold producing Country,
but at the present the value of the
territory is chiefly due to the pro-,
fusion of vegetable products iiup^j
plied by Mif rich soil. Cocoanut
and palm oil. bread fruit, Indian
corn, yams, sweet potatoes, liincs
|and oranges arc only (tonic out
of many other valuable produc
tions of this territory. The prin
cipal exports are gold dust and
palm oil.

At this program for the Majestic

1. "By Woman's Wit," a film
that, "goes some" and frets some
place.
2. Illustrated song, "Maybe I'll
Come Back,*' sung by our Charles
III. Henry; and Charlie knows just
what to sing.
3. "Easter Babies, Bunnies and
Eggs and Children." Sentiment
makes this old world beautiful
and life worth while.
4. "Misplaced Jealousy," the
girls are just crazy about us boys
and. it's the same old story.
5. "Cupid's Pranks," the lit
tle sport is on the job every min

line, for cupid.
