Book Beer.

The figure of the rampant goats support
ing a beer keg-the sign which, from time
has been used to herald the
advent of book beer-is beginning to appear
outside the saloon doors. Everybody who
drinks beer is acquainted with the strong
brown liquid which, for a few short weeks
in the Springs served from the key, and a
half dozen glasses of which are equal to al
most half a key of ordinary beer. Book is
lust about twice as strong as plain, every
day beer, containing over 80 per cent. more
alcohol. Nearly half again the usual guam
THY of hops and malt is used i'll its manu-
facture. 1t is made early in the winter,
thus giving it two OF three months to age
and improve before it is put on the market
about Easter time. The season for book
beer lasts about four OF five weeks. 1t does
not pay the brewers to make it, as it costs
about twice as much as ordinary beer, and
is sold at the same rate. 1t is chiefly put out
as an advertising card,

A Charming Entertainment.

On next Tuesday night, there will appear
at the Opera House in Staunton, under the
patro nage of the wives of the Professors of
the University of Virginia, an amateur
company of peculiar merit, and for cause
which is also of peculiar merit. The per-
Torrance is given for the benefit OF the
Piedmont Cottage Hospital at Charlottes-
vile, the only hospital in this section OF
Virginia and one that has done a great deal
of good. Its work at the time OF the tres
tie disaster on the Midland Railway, showed
it's value. The performance itself is given
by company Of ladies and gentleman from
Albemarle county, all amateurs-chiety
from Charlottesville-with the exception
of the leading lady, Mrs. George Macready
Chute, who is represented in private letters as
an English artistic of great merit. The pro-
oramme includes the comedy of "Perfec-
tion'' and the farce of ''To Oblige Benson. y
MI. C. w. Caldbeck, the admirable English
amateur actor, already favorably known to
the Staunton people, is one OF the leading
members Of the company.
There is one reason, independent OF the
claims of the good object of the company,
that induces us to express a most earnest
hope that that they will have a full house.
| When the Staunton Amateur Opera Com
pany gave THE Chimes of Normandy" in
Charlottesville, there was not a vacant seat
in the house, and nothing could have exceed
ed the kindly courtesy of the people there,
|
Staunton amateurs full house and good
reception, but extended social courtesies
without limit. Let there be a full house
in remembrance of this, next Tuesday
| night.

A Brave Pilot.

One of the many interesting legends
which are connected with the different
parts of Mt. Desert Island Is the story 81
the battle of Norwoods Cove, THthe wai
of 1912, two British frigates, the Dolphin
and the Tenedos, chased an American
schooner into Southwest Harbor. Not
being acquainted with the waters, the
frigates dared not follow, but anchored
just outside of Greening's Island, while
the schooner sought refuge in Norwood's
Cove, behind the forest crowned ridge.
The British dispatched two barges with
nearly one hundred men to capture the
schooner, compelling an American sea.
man to act as pilot. Meantime large
band of fishermen and farmers had Sc
creted themselves in the woods on the
southern shore. When the barges had
approached within musket shot, the pilot
sprarg to his feet, shouting, "Give it to
'em, boys; don't mind mew upon which
the Americans opened murderous fire,
which soon compelled the British to re-
treat with the loss of almost the entire
crew of one Of the arges.-Lewiston
