listen to a classical selection from the

the introduction OF a few bars OF any

no other music can inspire. Even in

LAFAYETTE IN TALBOT COUNTY.

WHY COLONEL BRIGHAM VISITED
THE EASTERN SHORE-GOVER-
NOR STEVENS REMARKS TO
LAFAYETTE.
Easton, Md. Dec. Colonel j. Ii.
Brigham, assistant commissioner OF
agriculture. during his recent visit to
Easton. said, without being asked, that
this was his first visit to tho Eastern
Shore Of Maryland. Besides having
official duties to bring him here this
time he came in pursuance of reso-
luton he made several years ago. lie
was making a stage.ride through Wy
omiug and sat on the box with the
driver a talkative iehu. Finding that his
passenger had been somewhat OF a
traveller in his own country, the driver
asked Colonel Brigham If he had ever
been on the, Eastern Shore of Mary
land. where / come FROM he said.
He had not From that time on said
Colonel Brigham, Ito the end of the
trip. he would talk of nothing but the
Eastern Shore-the finest part OF the
world. he claimed. His praises of the
Eastern Shore and his benedictions on
1t were evidently sincere, and deter
mined then to visit so goodly a land
when opportunity offered And here |
am; and | tell you, friends, It was no
Joke what the stage driver said.
Strangers tell us it is a fact that
after the formalities of an introduc-
tion 20 en- Eastern Shoreman at his
own home. always follows the ques-
tion: is this your first visit to the
Eastern Shore?" The origin of this
custom was set forth by an Eastern
Shoreman at a Cincinnati banquet at
Newport. r. L., some years ago, when
he was twitted about this popularity
Of his countrymen, The story is a true
one.
When General Lafayette accepted
the invitation of Congress, in 1924, anc
came to this country as the nations
guest a great reception was rendered
him by the state. The governor o
Maryland at that time was an Eastern
Shore farmer, who lived on his farm
except when the General Assembly wa
in session, or when he was called tC
Annapolis at other times on oificia
business. OF course. his presence wal
Indispensable at the Lafayette recep
ton. His function. indeed, was to in
troduce the distinguished guest. Th'
governor made the trip on horsebacl
around the head OF the bay clad In
homespun suit, made on his owl
looms The roads and weather beinl
worse than he calculated for when HI
left home he did not reach the capi
tai until the day Of the reception ant
after all the other notabilities wer
there and waiting for the governor
who was hastily ushered into the Sen
ate chamber, his clothes splashed wit
mud. just as he was when he dis
mounted The distinguished people Il
splendid array in the chamber con
fused the plain and patriotic Easter
Shore governor, and when he was pre-
sented to Lafayette he could think q
nothing to say for the moment, h
hlurted out: "ls this the first time yo
we're ever in this country, general?
and from the day the Eastern Shor
governor made that faux pas to thi.
the question is religiOusiy, patrioticall
and proudly put to the stranger whe
his footsteps first touch the Easter
Shore strand.
The reception to Lafayette, wher
Governor Samuel Stevens, of Table
county. met the distinguished French
man. took place at Fort McHenr,
Baltimore, in September.

A GREAT PLAY TO-NIGHT.

When the Girl | Left Behind Me"
was first introduced in New York it
was yariously received by the news
paner writers. The Herald critic de-
scribed it as the best American play.
Naturally enough, this phrase became
by adoption part OF the comedy's ad-
vertisement equipment, and it is the
best American play. This interesting
and adrOitly constructed dramatic en-
tertainment will be presented at the
Opera House this evening. The Girl
! Left Behind Me- is a very good play
good enough to merit the success
which will evidently be duplicated in
this city again.

Title OF Admiral.

1t should here be explained that the
title of admiral" was not used in
England In the earlier days. says the
London Nautical Magazine. In fact.
the better opinion, Is that 1t was not so
used before the beginning of the four
teenth century. He was called Capt.
taneus Maris Captain Of the Seal.
Keeper Of the seacoasts." Captain Of
the Kings mariners" The title "Ad-
miral" or "Amiral," probably derived
from the Arabic amir or emir (pre-
fect), was used in foreign countries
much earlier than In England, and
came to us from France. Prynne
("AnimadversiOns." page 1860, states
that there were admirals and an adj
miralty court in England as early as
the time Of Henry l., derived from our
ancient Saxon kings-Alfred, Edgar
Ethelred and others who had the do
miniOn Of the British ocean. None of
thse kings probably was more potent
than King Edgar. who. possessing an
absolute dominion Of the neighboring
sea, sailed around about 1t every year
and secured II with a constant guard
These ships. being very stout ones,
were In number 200; some writers
even affirm that there were 1890 sail
ing ships.
