CLEVER PIECE OF ACTING.
How the Girl who Was Being HaSed
Turned the Tables on the
HazeFs.

The girl of my heart came home to
attend cousins wedding, and she
STAYED in town for4two days before
going back TO school for the commence
tnent which will make her sophomore.
1t wouldn't be fair TO tell the name of
her school. but its very excellent
one. where the fashions OF the men
colleges are followed. even to the pos
session of college yell. and the prac-
iicing of hazing. The girl of my heart
was hazet last fall. She did not faint
when the girls touched her arm with
a bit of ice, and said they we're branding
her with an iron. Ehe endured every
ordeal so smilingly that the girls at
last determined TO do something per
fectly dreadful They marched her
through dark halls, blindfolded as she
was. opened closet door in the physie-
al laboratory, snatched the bandage
from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the
door. and left her in the arms of
skeleton.
Now, skeleton TO her is no more
terrifying than hoop-skirt, but she
saw an opportunity 10 amuse herself.
She is one of the cleverest amateur ac-
1resses Washington possesses. She let
down her hair and tangled il about her
face. Her gown was an old one. so she
sacrificed il. and tore il to tatters.
Then she waited. Presently she heard
the girls returning. She began TO Groom
softly to herself weird song. The
girls opened the door She took no no
tice of them. but went on lavishing
kisses on the grinning skull. laughing
idiotieally to herself the while. FINAL
~ one of them whispered:
Girls. she's raying mad!"
That was the cue for the girl of my
heart. She raved: she tore her hair;
shrieked when they tried to draw her
away from the skeleton; she laughed;
she flung herself about. and finally
danced ont into the outer room. moan
ing in blood-curdling way. The girls
dared not even breathe. They were
CHASTITY. They chung to each other and
shuddered The girl of my heart danced
10 the door. caught up "A knife from
a table. waved IL with a hideous scream,
and sprang at them. Then, as they
huddled together in perfect agony of
fright, she dropped the knife and
opened the door.
well, girls" she said, drawlingly,
II hope you've enjoyed the fun; I'm
sure have
Then she disappeared, and a dozen
crestfallen girls, too frightened TO dare
TO go into Mysteries. too much relieved
to- be angry. stole quietly away. They
are clever girls, the girls at this col
lege, but the girl of my heart is bell
wether of the Washington Post.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
lie VIII Soon Begin Work Upon

Governor Tyler says he is going 10
shut himself up in his room, instruct
winston TO tell all callers he is OUT and
get down 10 work on his message TO the
legislature
The Governor has been so busy the past
months he has not had time 20 devote
himself TO the consecutive thinking ne
cessary to the preparation OF the mes
sage. .,,
II is understood that the message Will
devote a great deal of space to the re-
view Of the settlement of the oyster
question. Governor Tyler will have the
pleasure of informing the General As
sembly that during his administration
the question has apparently been settled
for once and all by the LeCato state
Board of Fisheries law. It IS probable
that the message will recommend that
the ovster-beds do not be sold.
The message will also allude TO the
fact that the penitentiary has yielded a
larger net income the present year than
in any previous year
In a general way the Governor Will
have the pleasure Of informing the Legis-
lature that during his administration Of
State affairs everything has been pros
porous. and that all conditions point 10
a continuance of the prosperity.

HAVE AN ANNUAL CARNIVAL.
Likelihood Of the Committee MH>-
ing Ifs ORGANIZATION Perpetual

The success Of the carnival just closed
in this city has led many 10 hope that
Richmond will make carnival week a hA-
ture in its calendar and throw open lts
gates TO the people OF the country eaOn
october. furnishing such amusemenls lor
them as will attract them here each year.
rrbere is some Likelihood of this hope
being realized. for the members OF the
civic Carnival Committee having TINS
years carnival in charge are well pleased
with the success of their entertainments
and while some Of them are unwilling TO
pledge themselves TO undertake another
carnival next year, many are in favor OF
making carnival week an annual event.
The old Dominion Tournament and Far
Association. under whose auspices the
tournament and race meetings were held'
will certainly perpetuate their organiza-
ton. and it Is assured that each october
hereafter entertainments OF like charac-
ter to those given Wednesday and Thurs
dav last will be conducted under their
auspices The four gentlemen interested
in the association will apply for a charter
in a few days, and will 80 TO work at once
10 perfect their organization and prepare
for next years carnival.
Mr.. 5. W. Travers, who is chairman Of
the Civic Carnival Committee and chief
marshal Of the great traces parade, when
seen yesterday, said that he thought an
annual carnival would be a good thing for
Richmond if the people would lend their
assistance to the undertaking. He eX-
pressed the hope that another carnival
would be held next year, but would not
pledge himself TO serve on The Committee
ON Arrangements.
None of the members of the Carnival
Committee were willing TO discuss the
probabilities of the carnival organization
being perpetuated, saying that they would
discuss the matter when the committee
met next week. 1t is understood to be the
sentiment Of the committee, however, to
make their organization permanent one,
and il IS more than likely that this will be
done.
