THE POOR MARRIED MAN
"A Poor Married Man," a three -
act comedy,was put on in the town
hall *on-Thursclaii• evening under the
auspices of Murphy Ledge. No. 710,
the entertainment being greeted with
a full house, in spite of, the stormy
skates of the weather. M. 0. N.
Davies played one of the parts aed
also directed the play.
The scene was laid on the other
side of the line, where divorce is
looked upon with more leniency
than it is here and the play centered
arcemel the troubles following too
melt interference by a managing
mother-in-law. A young college
professor married a pretty girl on n
very thort acquainteeee, and comes
home bringing his bride and her
mother, Jupiter Janson, the negro
handy ' man who looked after the. pro-
fessor's 'house, first Ines the Mother

she was the bride, He had known
this woman before and knew that
her husband had disappeared sud-
denly alter eating ittene lobster salad
which she had made. Ile tells the
professor this, who is very much
puerled and not a little traibled to
fled that his wife had been married
before and had a grown daughter,

marriage to Zoie. She does not tell
him that Zoie is now the professor's
wife and this does -not collie out for
some time. The professor has fin-
ally been worked up into Stich a
state by the belief that. his wife hag

she has poisoned them all with 'lob-
ster salad that .110 is almost beside
himself and the wife and her mother

a diverce. In the meantime Dr.
Grah'arn, a country physician, brings
(his young daughter to enter her in
the college and the •susceptible pro-
fessor is greatly taken by her ap-
pearance. In the last scene the aro-
feasor is shown with June Gra-
ham as his wife, his first wife hav-
ing divorced him, and they are very
happy. But Dr. Graham, who has
been holidaying at Niagara Falls,
come (home with a new bride, who
turps eut to be the professor's. late
mother-in-law and all hie troubles
start again, 'But, banpilY, Zole's old

SOME BUSINESS CHANGES
Mr, E. W,endorf is moving hie con-
fectionery and "restametnt business
from the stand in Albert street 'to
the one in Huron street, where he
has conducted a baking business for
some time.
,Mr. Wendell has been conducting
the two business stands for the past
few years, since purchasing the
baking business, but was unable to
amalgamate them owing to the fact
that neither stand was commodious
enough to accomodate both enter-
prises, Now a fine new cement
bake 'house has been erected at the
Tear of the Huron street shop, . the
oven and all equipment pertaining to
the baking business has been moved
into it, leaving ample room for con-
fectionery and bake Atop, lima
aemei and kitchen in the Huron
street stand. The leech room, which
is being fitted up with both stalls
and tables, will accommerate a num-
ber of people and could accommodate
a moderate sized banquet crowd if
necessary, while the shop has been
enlarged sufficiently to show to ad-
vantage both candies and baiting,
with a good sized kitchen at the
rear for candy making and restau-
rant cooking. Heretofore candies
could not 'lie kept in this shop owing
to the heat and steam from the bake
oven but this is -now done 'away
with.

NOW; DON'T GRAB A GUN
When Mk. John A. InicEwan of the
second' concession of Stanley town-
ship looked out of the window on
Tuesday morning, just as it was
getting nice arid clear, he saw two
deer wondering in his field. They
apparently had come from the east
and trotted off towcfrd the west,
through MT. Moffatt's farm, The
heavy hal „of snow probably Covered
ep all roots, etc., upon which these
animals feed and they left the woods
in search of something else. Any-
way the sight of deer running wild in
Stanley township is not a very com-
mon one.
