The house was packed, and never
contained more thoroughly appre-
ciative audience.
Each of the young ladies in the
play did well, but Miss Lena Hyde,
as Mrs. Rokeman, proud and
naughty heiress; Miss Lizzie Elliott,
as crazy Meg. the abandoned and
despised sister of Mrs. Rokeman Miss
Maud Martin, as Mrs. Delaine, a
motherly old dame; Miss Jessie Ar
rington in the role of a love SICK
spinster; Miss Nora Hodges, as Re-
becca, the heroine of the play; Miss
Nettie Moore as the leading spirit of
"our club" and Miss Clara Kellogg
as Gyp, jolly negro servant girl,
captivated the audience completely.
Everyone was delighted with the
entertainment, and the N. N. c. has
added another wreath of laurels to
the already enviable reputation of
the Keytesville young ladies' many
accomplishments.
We have often said that the Key
tesville girls always make a success
of whatever they undertake, and af-
ter witnessing the production of Gre
becca's Triumph" Monday night, we
repeat with emphasis what we have
said before, and add thatrarer, fairer,
sweeter or more accomplished young
ladies than reside right here in Key
tesville cannot be found.
Between the second and third acts
of the play Miss Lizzie Hill favored
the audience with most pleasing
recitation, "Laureame, the Marble
Dream" produced with impressive
artistic effects by the aid of calcium
lights.
The music was left to the manage
ment of Miss Maud Smith, who quite
sustained her reputation as an ardent
devotee of the MUSES.. Miss Maud is
very appropriately called "Keytes
ville's nightingale" and in addition
to the management of the instrumen-
tai selections of music for the evening
delighted those present with song,
entitled "Maggie Murphy's Home" f"
and was so heartily encored that she
returned to the stage and sang
"Winter's Lullaby" with equally en-
chanting effect.
The entertainment, taken as a
whole, was a very decided success and
reflected such credit on the young
ladies who gave it that every citizen
of Keytesville is sincerely proud OF
them.
Long live the N. N. C.
The young ladies go to Salisbury
tonight to produce "Rebecca's
Triumph" at the Salisbury opera
house for the benefit of theex-Confed-
crate home at Higginsville.
We commend the company to the
good graces OF Salisbury's citizens
and trust the young ladies will meet
with the patronage that a splendid
entertainment, given for the benefit
of a laudable enterprise, deserves.

Ca,lftfbaL GrassI.oppers.

Last week we published an item in
reference to twenty grasshoppers
that Mr.. J. W. Hughes, ofnear town,
brought to our office. They were
caught on the meadow at Mr.. Hughes
by his children, on Tuesday OF last
week, put into bottle and brought
to the COURIER Office. The bottle
has since sat upon our desk, and
out of the twenty original insects
but two are now left. Notwithstand-
ing these two have eaten-all of the
other eighteen, they seem to have
"grown" very little if any.
Self-preservation is undoubtedly
the first law of nature, in the insect
as well as in the animal kingdom.
The remaining two choppers" we are
now bringing up by hand" and
will get the COURIER devil to initiate
them into the cigarette habit next
week, with the view to further 'scien-
tific" research in the insect world.
Mr.. r. w. Fordyce, of Chicago, has
accepted a position in the tailoring
department Of the Keytesville Mer-

is boundato keep abreast with the
needs of their business, and those de
string tailor.made clothing would
do wen to give them a call. Prices
reasonable, and satisfaction guaran-
teed.

silk PCttlcoats,

The woman who has once known the
dainty luxury of the silk petticoat and
has listened to Its soothing swish will
never give it up. If she can not afford
to walk into shop and buy the smart
est one In stock, she can not at least
turn the old silk evening gowns, yes,
and the silk skirtlinings, into this IA
vorite detail of her wardrobe. The
black and shot taffetas glace make the
most desirable silk petticoats, as they
are durable and do not absorb dust.
But If you can not afford such an ex-
pensive petticoat, take the old China
silk skirt of any color, have it dyed
black, buy some pretty Inexpensive
lace and gather over ruffie of the silk.
Do not make your petticoats too long,
or they will speedily become weari-
ness to the flesh. The best length is
midway between the knee and ankle;
then they escape the choice collection
of filth gathered by the trained skirt as
well as the devastations of high heels.
The most beautiful silk petticoats now
shown for street wear are in shaded
taffetas of old rose 'and golden brown
tints They are trimmed with three
rufiies of silk pinlsed out at each edge.

Correct Standing PoIse.

In correct standing poise, the weight
of the body is equally balanced on the
two sides of vertical line Then, If
you allow the chin to come forward too
much, the back must go back sufficient
ly to preserve the balance. If the
shoulders go too far back, the hips
must come too far forward and the abb
domen will protrude. If you stand
with your muscles taut, your body will
assume position in which it's weight
will come directly over the balls of the
feet If you will stand upon your tip
toes and then gradually let yourself
down, you will find yourself in posi-
ton in which line in front of the
shoulders will strike the balls of the
feet Another way is to stand against
the wall, put your head, shoulders, ell
bows and hips against it, so that your
chest is raised or forced out, hands at
your sides, and you will be in correct
standing position.-From Lecture by

Extract From Lecture by DIR. J. ii. Kel-
logg, OF the Battle Creek sanitarium.
Many man stays awake nights on
account of the reproaches of q guilty
physical conscience. He has trans
gressed the laws of digestion, and SO
sleeplcssness Is one of the penalties
which long-suffering nature inflicts.
Perhap she has goaded his stomach with
condiments until 1t is no longer respon-
sive to whips and strings, let alone
proper food. Perhaps he has overloaded
and abused his stomach until it has be-
come very much dilated and can not
empty itself of food and it is also too
much relaxed to absorb with proper
rapidity. Poisonous substances are
formed by the action of microbes upon
the slowly digesting food, and these are
absorbed and irritate the brain and
nerves so as to drive away sleep. The
theme from an extra strong cup of tea
will have similar effect; the poison
GUS principle of coffee is identical with
1t and both drinks are thoroughly I'M
hygienic. Flesh foods constitute the
best kind of material for producing poi

is especially true of meats which are
kept until they are tender or high"
Again, other people are kept awake be-
cause they never allow their stomachs
to get empty and not only eat three
regular meals but eat between meals
and at bed time. The cure lies in cut

MAMMOTH TURTLES.
Tho Giant Tortoiscs OF the Galapagos II
lnnha-A RnculInr Rnne.

Tho Giant Tortoises OF the Galapagos Ia
lands--A Peculiar Race.
The Galapagos tortoises are the only
survivors of an ancient race of huge
turtles which lived SO long ago hs the
early part Of the tertiary epoch Speci-
mems weighing from six hundred TO
seven hundred pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record OF
one individual taken which tipped the
scales Mt eight hundred and seventy
pounds. Hewever, nearly all of tho
very big ones have been caught and de-
,youred, and Y will not be long before
the race Is exterminated-literally
"eaten of the face of the earth by glut-
tonous man. II Is recltoned that ten
million of these turtles have been
taken from the islands since their dis
covery.
No provisions for ships were ever
found equal to these tortoises, which
will remain In good condition for o year
without food or water. A supply of the
latter is carried by the animals In
bag, which contains as much as two
gallons sometimes. They are very saga
cious, and when kept on deck can be
taught to confine themselves TO any
space arranged for their accommodation
by whipping them gently with a ropes
end when they get out Of 1t The meat
Is said to be finer than that of green
turtle. Dampier, the explorer who Wis
tied the islands in 1854, wrote that the
flesh resembled pullets in flavor.
THE OIL" he says, 1--WE kept in jars,
and used 1t instead of butter to eat with
dumplings" Rogers, in 1907, wrote:
"Thp eggs of the turtle are ns big as
those of goose, white, hard shells and
exactly round. Two men rode on the
back of one of the creatures, which
weighed seven hundred pounds, and it
carried them with ease" In 1893 Col.
net reported that nests of the tortoises
were thrown up In circular form, never
containing more than three eggs, which
were heated by the sun, hole being SO
contrived as to admit it's rays through
its daily course" This last very re-
markable statement would seem TO I'm
ply that these chelonians were some
what familiar with astronomy.
The tortoises are vegetable feeders,
browsing chiefly upon succulent cac-
tus. 1t is said that they are entirely
deaf, so that even the report Of gun
does not stnrtle them. At intervals
they make pilgrimagcs to the hill-tops,
where water is to be found, travelling
by night only. Thus, in the course of
centuries, they have worn regular roads
from the shore up the mountain sides,
by following which the Spaniards first
discovered the watering places. They
have very long and snake-like necks and
heads, and their feet surprisingly re-
semble those of an elephant Their
clumsy method of locomotion also sug-
gests a likeness to the great pachydcrm.
Undoubtedly they live to very great
age, and their aspect is most venerable.

An Angry Mamma Strikes Her Daughters
Suitor With Fire Shovel.
A clerk in one of the city banks
bought splendid cut-glass bottle Of
cologne, with glass stopper and pink
ribbon, to present to a young lady he Is
keeping company with; but on reaching
the house he felt little embarrassed
for fear there were members of the
family present, and SO left the beautiful
gift in the hat stand drawer and passed
In. The movement was perceived by o
graceless brother of the young lady,
who appropriated the cologne for his
own use, and refilled the bottle with
hartshorn, and then hung about TO OBJ
serve the result.
In little while the young man slip
ped out TO the secret depository, and,
securing the splendid gift, slipped back
again into the parlor, where, with a
few appropriate words, he pressed 1t
upon the blushing girl. Like the good
and faithful daughter that she was,
she at once hurried into the presence
of her mother, and the old lady was
charmed.
She drew out the stopper, laid her
nostrils over the aperture, and fetched
pull at the contents that fairly made
them bubble. Then she laid the bottle
down, and picking up brass-mounted
fire shovel instead, said, as soon as she
could say anything
where is that miserable wretch?"
He, all unconscious of what had hap
pened. was in front of the mirror ad-
justing his neclstie and smiling at him
self Here she found him, and said to
him:
"Oh, you are laughing at the trick
you played on an old woman, are you?"
And then she gave him one on the
ear. And he, being more eloquent with
his legs than his tongue, hastened from
thence, howling, and accompanied to
the gate by that brass-mounted shovel.
He says he would give everything on
earth if he could shake off the impress
