, Temple of Fame Came up to Expecta-
| tions, and More.
i    A capacity audience witnessed the
: presentation of the Temple of Fame at
■ the opera house Fridaj' evening, and
j enjoyed the evening fully as  much as
| though it were entirely new to Saline.
' Despite the fact the program has been
! given before, those in attendance appreciated every .part of the performance, and are warm in praise of the
individual efforts as well as the production as a whole.
Owing- to the large number necessary to a successful portrayal of the
many characters The Observer can not f
spare the space for comments on the J
work of any one "in particular,  nor
would it be-fair to praise those *who,!
by inherent-ability or special study,
were able to .stand out more prominently than gome less iortunate.    In
such a finished performance* there is
glory enough for all.    That all had
rehearsed   faithfully   and    well    the
smoothness- of action attested.    When
all had presented their claims to the
laurel wreath and had taken 'their re-!
spective places the picture, with its
variety of gowns,.- from' Topsy's gingham to the gorgeous robes of Queen
Elizabeth, -was one long to be remembered.      •    - : ■    - -   -..

Dr. Cuyler once said: "A living,
loving Christian—true of tongue; honest of heart, pure of conduct and yet
lovable in daily life—is the most unanswerable argument forcbristianity."
Sixteen .years ago, or May 1, 1898,
Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay taught
the Spaniards a lesson that. Mexico is
now itching to learn. No doubt Spain
thinks Mexico .the most foolish nation
on earth—Spain knows a good deal
about the United States buzz saw when
it gets going good. Three years ago
this month, Diaz of Mexico resigned.
Huerta probably "willfollbw suit unless
the sight of Uncle Sam's battleships
scares him to' death before he can
sneak out the* back "way.
To offset the anxiety of impending
war, May generously brings us the
sweet girl, graduate and the big league
ball season. So insignificant a thing as
Mexico being miffed cannot attract
much of our attention just now. If
Huerta could see one; of. America's
average baseball crowds he would learn
something to his interest as regards
our population. And, if President Wilson and his. cabinet really should become confused at how best to deal with
the greasers, they have thousands of
budding graduates to fall back upon, for
information.
It's mighty hard, in May time to
have" to stay, in town, a pourin' over
books and things to hold a business
down. The out-door world is calling.
Its quiet streams and flowers contrast
the dreariness, of town with noisy,
rushing hours. Last year I said by
this time I'd join the farming clan.
Who am I, so dissatisfied?—the average
business man. There is no work to
farming. It merely is a joke. 'Most
any business man could farm^-a while,
arid then go broke.
The first wild west show appeared
May 17, 1883, and has been making its
farewell tour of the United States
every year* since. A few years ago, an
American wild west show could go over
to England and terrorize vast audiences
with its'rough stuff. But England now
has a bunch of suffragettes of her own
who can skin anything Buffalo Bill ever
tried to put on.
MAJESTIC AND IMPOSING
Such .Will Be the Presentation of Ben-!
_
Hur at Ann'Arbor.   -
Klaw & Erlanger's majestic.and imposing international production of Lew
Wallace's mighty-play, "Ben-Hur," A
Tale of the Christ, * will be a powerful
magnet at the- Whitney Theatre,, Ann
Arbor, on Wednesday and, Thursday
nights and Thursday matinee, May 6
and 7.
The interest being manifested in the
engagement eclipses.that of any other
play, ever seen in this city. This interest is deserved, for no other drama has
ever treated of so absorbing a theme.
Hundreds of thousands of. people have
read the ' beautiful, story. of "Ben-
Hur, "arid every one who has read it
desires to see the characters and scenes
displayed in the. more realistic atmosphere of dramatic portrayal. William
Young, in his dramatization,'-faithfully
transferred the.charm i of the story as
well as the religious interest to the
stage. The fact that more than ten
millions have witnessed the "four thou-,
sand representations of this masterpiece during. the past fourteen years
fully attests that it is the most popular
offering ever shown inside the four
walls of a theatre. One of the delightful features of the new staging is the
rendering of Edgar Stilln?a»i Kelley'S
brilliant musical score by an augmented orchestra under the. direction, of
Gustav Hinrichs, formerly .director of
Italian grand opera at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. Mr. Kelley's
musical setting has contributed as
iriuch to" the success of General Wallace'.? great story as 'the dramatization
made by William Young. The choruses
that he arranged for the opening Prelude where the Star of Bethlehem appears to the Three Wise Men. in the
Desert, and the glorious Hosannas sung
by the multitude on the Mount of
Olives,- are awe-inspiring .and add a
solemnity-and dignity to the entire
spectacle.
The advance sale of seats opens on
Thursday morning, April 30.
CARD OF THANKS.

Putting in the Garden.
Spring is upon us and those of us
who have a patch of ground and are
not too lazy are scratching around getting our garden in shape. On another
page of* this issue of The Observer will
be found an article by Prof. J. Willard
Bolte headed "The Backyard Farmer"
in which, he unfolds the mysteries of
success with a berry patch and also
gives instruction in the difficult task of
making and maintaining an asparagus
bed.. Read up on these subjects." Farmers are doing their work scientifically
now and the "backyard farmer'•' does
not want .to fall behind.
Positively tbe last opportunity to secure compartments in the New Maur
soleum is now offered. After the
foundation is. made, no more crypts
can be bought at any price. Dr.
Wallace, president, of the Trustees,
will give full information", and receive
subscriptions. See him now, or you*
will be too late.^ ' *

Probably You Believe  .
Your Eyes Are All Right
For yonr sake we
trust they are.
In many eases one has defective eyesight from birth and does
not realize that the' deficiencies
exist. -
, There are so many symptoms
of eye strain tljat it- is impractical to even attempt to mention
all of them.
Not always do they complain
of poor *vision, but suffer from
distressing headaches and nerve
troubles of various kinds, many
of which come from defective
eyes.
■So 'if you" have any of these
troubles, call-and we will make
a careful examination * of your
.eyes.
