MUSICAL


You are respectfully invited
to call and see the beautiful
sample pianos now on exhibi-
ton at Alexander's drug store,
Holder building, West Main
street. They are from the well
known music house, Thos. Cog
gan & Bro. of Galveston and
Dallas, who have been estab-
lished since 1866, and are the
largest dealers in the South
west. These samples are in
charge of their representative,
Mr.. j. E. Maynor, and will pos
itively be closed out in the next
three days at special prices and
on easy payments, ,unequaled by
any other house. They do not
charge interest, neither do they
demand notes on time sales
therefore longer time can be
granted where, through misfor-
tune, their patrons are unable
to meet payments when due. ii
you want a bargain in a piano,
call at once.

books, despite the wealth Of material
that lies fallow to the pen and brain OF
the storyteller.
"Our First Rebellion" story or the
revolution? No, indeed. The first re-
bellion took place a century before
Bunker Hill, and it was the gentlemen
colonists of Virginia, and not the Purl-
tan colonists of New England, who led
the revolt. 1t was the dissolute Charles
II, not George III, whose conduct in
spired the call to arms. 1t is worth while
to step aside for moment to consult the
history of the event.
News came to the Virginia colonists
one day that the merry monarch had

Then came the trouble with the gov

with the Indians arose. The settlers pc
titioned the governor to build forts on
the frontier for their protection, but the
governor, on account of his remunera-
tive trading relations with the Indians
did not see his way clear to construct
them. Besides which he made himself
obnoxious generally. and placed the last
straw in the resentment of the colonlsts
toward their monarch.
About this time the story opens. John
Vivian, the hero. having served in the
wars with Col. Churchill, better known
later as the Duke of Marlborough. finds
naught for his sword to do. So he sets
sail for America as guard to trading
ship. Arrived in Virginia, he straight

way falls in love, incidentally espousing
the cause of Nathaniel Bacon, who led
the revolt of the colonists against
Berkeley. The ostensible reason for the
uprising was the refusal of Berkeley to
grant a commission to Bacon to fight
the Indians; but the real sources lay
deeper and further back, as outlined in
the foregoing. AS every student of
American history knows the rebellion
was a failure, owing principally to the
sickness and death Of Bacon. The hero,
Vivian, follows the fortunes, or rather
the misfortunes, of the revolt to the
end, and incidentally wins the heart of
his lady love. Whereupon they both
fly to England, and seek the king, and
the scapegrace, liberal hearted mon
arch makes them whole, with a large
grant of land in Virginia.
There is much to praise and there are
some things to be criticised adversely in
the story. 1t is written in the attrac-
tive romantic style with which Wey-
man. Hope and others have made us
familiar. and, as becomes such a story,
there is no lack of exciting incident The
Indian sketches, introduced as a part
of the story, are not well handled. There
is not sufficient excuse for their exist
ence. The saVages are made to appear
and disappear with bewildering abrupt
ness, as If they We're automatons. If the
author had edited and rewritten his
manuscript once more he would I'M

is a good story, full of life and incident

(From Lucius H. Foote's new volume

A crescent bay and crested peaks on high,
With wooded TANKS, which seaward slope
between,
Embossed with fold on fold of deathless
green,
And over all an arch of turquoise sky.
Thus 1 recall, with half-regretful sigh,
The sights and sounds of that exotic
scene
It's wealth of tint and tone, its airs Sc
rene,
Which erstwhile charmed my wistfu ear
and eye.
A dreamy land of Incidence and ease.
With budding boughs and vines and fruited
trees,
Where birds on gold and scarlet wings
flash by:
Beside reed-thatched hut nude children
play,
While to and fro the palm trees idly sway
And spent waves swoon upon the shore
and die.

always looking to the future for remedies
that never come. Let us open our eyes
awhile to the possibilities of the present,
and lay aside the smoked glasses of pre-

have looked at life. Let us identify God
and man as inseparably united-learn
to unfold our latent powers, and study

This is pleasant story, as the author
of 1.-THE Silence of Dean Maitland" was
sure to write, and can be taken on trust,
as, indeed, nearly all of the Town and
Country Library series can be. This
volume is No. Pei of that famous list
We cannot praise the novel as the one
which made her first venture was en-
titled to be praised, but it is neverthe-
less far above the average story. Not

A slab of rosewood on four eagle talons
Held trinity up and neatly taught to BAL

Black grapes hung down, dead-ripe and

And rich inside with chocolate like honey;
And she and l the banquet scene complet-

With dreamy words and fingers shyly

sometimes they are embarrassing, as

Mr.. Hilaire Belloc, which Mr.. Edward

to say whether it is the pictures by

To see him through microscope.

A hundred rows of teeth:
His seven tufted tails, with lots

On each of which a pattern stands
Composed of forty separate bands;

Assure us that they must be so.

How fine it would be if one could keep
alive his faith and hope in wholesome
literature as it was set down by Matthew
Arnold in these noble words:
Even if good literature entirely lost
currency with the world, it would still
be abundantly worth while to enjoy il
by ones self. But it never will lose cur
rency with the world, in spite of mo-
mentary appearances; it never will lose
supremacy. Currency and supremacy
are insured to it, not indeed by the
worlds deliberate and conscious choice.

sanization was effected by the election of
Mr.. Robert Gillian. OF Petersburg, as
president; Mr.. Il. r. Cooke. of Norfolk,
as vice-presdent, and Mr.. Julius StraGs
of Richmond. as secretary. These three
gentlemen constitute TIE Executive Com
mittce. as they have heretofore. and
their faithful services have been of special
value to the institution. The quarterly
report of the superintendent was sub
mitted. The members of the board made
a thorough inspection of the buildings
and of the books. and expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the admira-
bic condition OF affairs.
The Central Democratic Committee
having received no notice OF contest from
any of the candidates voted for at the
late primary election. and having waited
the ten days prescribed in the primary
plan for such notice. to-day destroyed all

at the late Democratic primary for the
