Otis Skinner, popular with all lov trs of good acting, returns to Harris burg this season at the "Mister Orpheum, Friday night, in Antonio" Booth Tarkington's com edy of cheerfulness. "Mis ter Antonio." Mr. Tarkington's latest contribution to the theater deserves the warmest praise of the reviewers. The author has laid his story in a type or small town familiar to Americans who have not spent all their days In city streets. The villagers of "Mister Antonio" are modern incarnations of the English religious fanatics, who flourished in the days of Cromwell. Men and woman of this mold con sider the burning of the midnight oil a crime and regard amusement places as temples of Satan that should be strewn with salt and become a hissing and a byword. They tlnd their great est thrills in discussions of an erring sister's fall from grace. Their charity is cold and formal and their religion is from the lips. The seat sale opens to-morrow morning.

In most lines of business the cost of delivery is small in proportion to the gross amount of the business so that few merchants need to give it serious consideration. But in the ice business it is the most important feature. The ice man is really engaged in two lines of business. First, the sale of ice; second, the delivery. He is entitled to recover costs and profit on both. The Five Cent Piece of Ice It costs more than five cents to 365 days. The ice man must figure deliver what was formerly a "Nickel on getting sufficient returns from Piece of Ice."
