Haria' production of "Cradle Snatchers" now hilariously entering upon the fifth month of its stay at the Sam H. Harris treatre, Chicago, said, the audience laughed so heartily that many times they enctired their own j<iy. That is the truest stmoment that can be made about this s.^iashin,? comedy hit. The laughing sweeps through the house li® a gale, becomes infeotku* and there ia a steady roar which sometimes simmers do^n to a ripple. Notr before has the theatre-going population of Chicago been as unanimous and hearty in pra.'se of a farce coined ;> visiting the . i „r. In the instance of "Cradle Snutchcr-s," written by Pif ;ell Medcraft in ccltabor tion with N'nrma Mitchell and presented by Sam Harris (by arrangement With Hassard Short,) the first performance r.ccuied in early August i'425 and the o-igiru'il company. Which is the one n.i'v appearing at la® Harris theatre, has been playing continuously ever since. On Labor Day in 1925, the farce went into the Music Box theatre, New York City, and its signally successful performances there covered a period of exactly sixteen months. Then came a series of record- breaking weeks on the "Subway Circuit" and four out-of-town equally prosperous weeks between New York and Chicago. The original cast at the Harris which features Mary Boland, contains, besides that popular and excellent farceuse, Edna May Oliver, Magrkret Dale, Humphrey Bogart, Raymond Guion, Raymond Hackett, Eunice Hunt, Joseph Holicky, William Corbett, and George Lassy. For the "Cradle Snatchers" engagement, Sunday night performances are played and a popular matinee is given on Wednesday arid a $2.50 matinee on Saturday. A Conscientious Beauty By H.

For Rosa longed for the good things of this world. waS deprived of them and was convln<f?d that she could never obtain them. It took money, lots of It, to compass the luxuries with which Rosa felt she ought to be surrounded and she had no money, her parents had none and nobody In her little circle of life had any amount to speak of. So, as she declared she would not marry for money, she just resigned herself to fate and madeNierself as unhappy as she could over It by way of revenge. Her parents, while they were in ordlnately proud of their daughter'* beauty," did wish she were more like other girls, and quarreled with her over her scruples about marrying for money. Rosa's parents had managed to give her a fair education: she had taken up stenography and typewriting and she was going to get a job and stick to lt..„ "And." said she. "if I get a Job with tfn aged mil llonaire I am not going to vamp him and marry him for his money." She did get a Job; but It was not as the secretary of an aged plutocrat; It was tn a public typewriting office where about thirty girls were employed. Hnd she lived In Russia she might have turned Bolshevist and helped sack* a palace. As It was her happiest moments were when she ^ns atone by herself after work hours and let her imagination loose, dreaming of what she would buy, what she would eat and wear, and where she would go If she had wealth. Carter Blanding came into the office one day and wanted to dictate some letters. Rosa was assigned to him. Carter looked at her, realized in a vague way that she was unusually good looking, and proceeded to business. Some little suggestions which Rosa made about the wording of thi letters he was dictating seemed so fn telllgent that he became Interested In her--was quite chatty. In fact, before he left. After that he came again, several times, and Rosa found her self being really agreeable to Car ter Blanding. Ttiey became great friends. So much so that Rosa, at last, told him of her suburban borne arid said that he might come out and take her fpr a motor* ride the ensuing holiday. ' / "He Is poor, of course," thought Rosa; "but what of It, I might as well be resigned to fate. Poverty With--with him--wouldn't be so bad after all." There was every reason why Rosa should consider Carter to be poor; or at least very moderately Off. There was nothing In what he dictated to Indicate his possession of wealth, and he even went so far as fo say that the only reason he dictated his letters instead of writing them himself was because of a sprained finger of his right hand. When he came out tp take Rosa to ride he came in a flivver, driving himself. Rosa had often longed for town c^rs and limousines; but the flivver seemed a limousine to bet*-- she thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Carter was ten years older than Rosa, that Is, to be exact, thlrty-flve: He seemed much older to her. Somehow she felt as If she had known him for yeaA and, becoming quite confidential, told him of her dreams of wealth and luxury; that they had embittered her life, and that she was determined' to let such phantasies bother her no more. They had known each' other three months by this time. "So you would not- marry a> rtchman. even If he asked' you?" commented Carter. "No," replied Rosa, "unless we hap pened to be in love wjth each other and even then T should hesitate, fear ing it was his money and not' himself. I loved." "Would you ra*rry a poor mtfnV went on Carter, "Why, yes, if I loved hta** saM1 Rosa frankly. "Well, I'm poor; Fie only got a million,1* said Carter. "WTIT yoe marry meT "Sftop this car. right off," cried Rosa, "and let me out. HI walk home. You have taken advantage of my confidence." "No. I haven't," said Carter dog gedly. "Ton said you would marry a poor man If he tarred you and you loved him, and that yoo would marry a rich man under like circumstances A million isn't much fn these days. But It Is something, of course. You cat consider me In either class you Van? to, rich or poor.

MISS AMMIE FRANCISCO Miss Ammie Francisco, 65 years old, passed away at the home of her childhood west of McHenry, on Sunday morning:, March 20, 1927, after an illness of about two months. She was born on June 21, 1861 being the daughter of Peter and Sarah Ingalls Francisco. She was born on the old homestead where she died and where her childhood and entire life had been spent. This farm which was her home has never changed hands as her father purchased it from the government many years ago before his marriage, and at his death it was taken over by Miss Ammie and her brother, Warren, where they have lived and carried on the farm for many years. She received her early education at the Ostend rural school, later at Mc- Henry and completed her Schooling at Valpariso, Indiana, where she studied a teacher's course. After this she taught several successful terms in McHenry county where she was love# by all her pupils. The deceased leaves two sisters, Mrs. Delia A. Hobart of West McHenry and Mrs. Julia Lincoln of Harvard and one brother Warren of West McHenry, with whome she lived, and twelve nieces and nephews. One brother, Albert, died August 27, 1907 and her mother and father have als > preceded her in death. She was naturally of a quiet, retiring nature but made many friends wherever she went, having a kind, and loving disposition, which was shown when at the death of her mother she remained at home and kept house for her brothers. The funeral was /held from the Methodist church at McHenry on Wednesday afternoon, March, 23, 1927 at 2 o'clock with Rev. Sunderlin of Wood-i stock officiating. She was carried to rest in Woodland cemetery by neighbors. capacity field--has resulted in extremely low prices for tracks of maximum quality.

These show that in the combined 94, 1, 1% and 2-ton gearshift truck field, capacities which serve 91 of all trucking requirements, Graham Brothers lead all the other makes. Trucks operated in New York City must survive probably the keenest merchandising competition of any population center in the world. The relative dependability and low operating cost of delivery equipment"-Qsed by merchants is oftentimes a matter of life or death. This is the basis on which Graham Brothers are establishing their lead more and more thoroughly in the metropolitan transportaiton market. Built to fit the user's business, these trucks stand up to the daily grind of work with capacity loads in heavy traffic at minimum maintenance cost. That ultimate economy depends upon ruggedly buiTt, high quality trucks is amply proved in the cost sheets kept by thousands of New York firms operating Graham Brothers units. Good business prescribes that nothing less than Graham Brothers quality will do.
