The following c'ipping was taken from the Wilmington Star: There it always a doubt in the minds of •theatre-goers as to the wis. dom of going to see a show, particular ly a musical comedy, if it comes back again after a year's absence. But Wilmington liked ‘‘My Soldier Girl” well enough last year to take a chance on i‘ again yesterday matinee andnight at the Academy of Music. Two capacity houses found bel'.er than ever, fresher in stage equipment and costuming larger in personnel, and Miss' Gudrun Walberg even more scintilatingly chaming. Most otfhc caat'ef a year ago were back, wi.h the exception of the male membera, who are “somewhere in France.” There are more men in the chorus this year, which gives it a/ stronger vocal back ground. Miss Walberg has as a dancing partner this' year Lawence Ackeiind, who is more ogile of limb and more graceful than her opposite of a year ago. Tho runaway over the audience la still a feature of I'Jhe piece, and the clever flirtaations of Miss Walberg with members of her audience was again the source of prolonged ap plause. Her firjT. appearance before the footlights after the stow began was greeted with a round of applause that grew as the performance develop ed, to an ovation when the curtain dropped on the finale. The whole cast was good. They •have new 1 clothes this year , new scenery to display them before, and the manager has a competent eye to feminine charms “Ricketts," the loquaclouscal boy of the folliet.' chor us, is ba.ck again. more loquacious ever. The peiece has a new “Colonel Stone” who is as good as the last yeat colonel. Taken altogether the show wm a great improvement on itself a year ago. — T as W. Evans St., MERCHANT TAILQ*. Florence, S.

Those disciples of Christ who Inter est themselves in forelpn missions are aroused over an Invitatlou coming to American disciples from Tibet, accord ing to the Boston Evening Transcript. This land, occupying the “roof of the ’world;" has-heretofore been practical ly-closed to all foreigners. That it has been<«o was due, so Tibet officials tell American disciples,, to the influence of Chiba. Now Tibet has thrown off Chinese control and one of Its first acts Is to appeal for Christian missionaries. Thr disciples have a mission station at Batarig, one of the farthest west cit ies of China, nearly 3,000 miles up the Yangato river. : A venturesome American doctor, sent out by the disciples, journeyed 18 days farther west, getting Into Ti bet and Into a city wherein disease In Its worst form, unattended and not un derstood, ravaged the people. The doctor set up an Impromptu clinic and dispensary. Ths relief was so ‘ great that one of the highest civic officials In all Tibet begged him to stay, or If he could not do so to return, build a hospital and official Tibet would help him. Now the disciples argue that here la a call they ar« not at liberty to Ignore. Their missionary society has acted to this effect. An appeal has been made for four families, two of them phy sician families, to go. It Is said there are no hospitals, no churches, do schools, no Christian agencies of any kind in that country of 4,000,000 peo ple. American manufactured goods are beginning to reach Tibet and Scotch whisky has been there for a decade or two. i This Bank Cordially Invites ’ - v * if your Checking’ Account kiic&yirig it will be mutually helpful! • Deposit regularly and keep the account growing—this is the way to earn the con fidence of your bank, and when borrow ing time comes to enable you to discount all bills—it counts greatly in your favor.

EVERY TIME YOU MOVE X OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD ,£ Dick Burge, Once Well Known in This Country Met His Death Fight ing in France. Late Private Richard Burge of the First Surrey rifles never was a quit ter, and, despite the fact that he was at the half century mark, he enlisted and died the death of a soldier. He was once the lightweight champion of England, and was born December 1», 1805. Dick Burge was a name well known to the fight fans on both sides of the Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly because of his remarkable battle with Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham pionship of the world. Dick was sev eral inches taller than the Saginaw Kid, and he had a considerable ad vantage in weight, but, much to his surprise and that of the English fans, he was knocked out in the seventeenth round. He gave a good account of himself before he fell, however, and there were times when the Kid had reason to fear that he had taken on too good a man. After Burge quit the ring he became a fight promoter. That waa in 1900. He enlisted as a volun teer In the British army in 1915 and served with the colors for three years. —Detroit Free Press. your house it costs yo money and lo*s. And three removes are as bad as a lire.

At the outset of his Imperial career the grandfather of the former German kaiser, Frederick William, owed his accumulation of money to bis com mercial dealings. One of his commer cial undertakings was to start milk- rounds, which did exceedingly well, In spite of being carried on sub rosa, for the German courtiers found that the imperial favor was dependent upon their patronizing the imperial dairy. In this way the old emperor created a huge milk monopoly in various cities, and reaped a correspondingly large profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had keen commercial instincts, and had s finger In most of the big German un- derfhkings. In Germany It was cur rently reported that Ballln was mere ly the figure-head of the North Ger man Lloyd line of steamships, and that tha kaiser was the . real man at ‘ the helm, and the asms thing waa said of many other money-making con cerns.
