Plays For YOun. Girls.

Maly wise mothers think that the
theater should be reserved for adult life.
They regard it as a stimulant and to be
unnecessary for the growing mind. 1t
may be compared to those drugs which
relieve headache by affecting the heart.
Still the mother who would make OF
her girl "a woman holy and WISE will
not exclude the theater. But outside of
some special representations Of Shake
speare she will select only simple plays.
such as RIP Van Wrinkle" Sweet Law

deep passions Of life are not exhibited,
where the sinful follies Of youth are not
presented for sympathy and for commits
GRAFTON.
There is oneSrher class of plays which
she may some time allow for the same
reason that she cheerfully provides ro-
nance in books, and that is the real, old
fashioned ~melodrama in which the hero
is triumphant. the villain is brought IL
justice and all comes out right in the
end. Such a treat is like the ''frolics'
at surprise parties and straw rides, which
were enjoyable because Of their rarity

Forewarned Of Her Child's Death.

A few months after my fathers death
the infant sol who had been pining him

in his mothers arms, On the next
morning she said to her sister, "Alf is
going to die" The child had no definite

spring would restore the health lost dur

natural that she should dream about her
husband. and that her anxiety for the
child had given the dream its shape.
Nothing would persuade her that she
had not seen her husband or that the in
formation he had given her was not true.
So it was no matter of surprise to her
when in the following March her arms
were empty and a waxen form lay life

In Kentucky Jurors Must BE Able to Read.
Circuit Judge Green in a murder trial
at Willianlstown decided that not being
able to read disqualified a person from
sitting on a jury. 1t is the first time the
question has been Saised we believe.
Section 235 Of the criminal code pro-
vides: THE court shall, N motion Of
either party. and before argument to the
jury, instruct the jury on the law ap-
plicable to the case, which shall always
be given in writing" Congressman
Dickerson made the point that each jury
man should be able to read the instruc-
lions himself. and if he could not do this
he was disqualified. The judge sustained
the objection. -Greenup (Ky.) Gazette.

The performance by the Trenton Ben
eft Dramatic Co. OF "Blcw for Blow" on
Thursday evening last was well attended,
and The manner la which 1t was presented
by this company was very satisfactory.
The company Is well entitled to the claim
OF being one Of the best amateur drama
tic companies in the state. The male mem
bers Of the organization are engaged Ia
other occupations and many are compell-
ed to give but limited time to rehearsing,
but the excellent manner In which they
acquitted themselves gave evidence that
they were possessed OF superior talents 10
this line. The female members OF the
company were q quartette Of pretty
young Trenton girls-Misses Apgar, Me-
Nichol, Carmody and Richardson who
proved to be weIl-adapted to the parts
assigned, and their Iadylike conduct won
them many friends. Excellent music was
rendered by Miss Mcnamara and Messrs.
Pickering aud Van Solver. A neat sum
was realized by the 'Emeralds," under
whose auspices It was held, who contri-
buted the amount towards the new Cath
Ollie church.
