In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the villain. he hides himself in barrel, that he may listen to q conversation between the hero and heroine, whose future we'll being he is trying to destroy. In the town hall there was little If any property" material A barrel would do 10 conceal himself in, so a hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. He slipped Tn the barrel with ease. The man and the woman appeared. and while they were ill the midst of an animated conversation there came howl from the barrel that fairly shook the rafters. This was fol 7 lowed by the eavesdropper crawling out with his hands to his face. and he in turn was followed by 8 swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those iR the audience. which created so much confusion that the show was broken up.

or not women should remove their hats
in church, Lexington mo man
suggests return to good old custom
under which the men sat on one side
of the church and the women on the
other. "In that way" he says, the
ladies could get the full benefit of their
big hats. Ladies who remove theis
hats out of courtesy to those who sit
behind them could of course, sit where
they choose The others could have
the full benefit Of attempting to see
the preacher through jungle of feath-

a mage of our great oountry's history

wholesale destruction Of the lives Of
those poor people in their own homes.
Il am first a Christian. then an
American and l prefer TO be consistent
with the principles Of Christianity
than from mistaken idea Of patriot
ism TO Justify q war which practically
now appears to be a war of extermina'
ton. The present war can only be eX-
cused on the ground Of the Filipinos
being our enemies. 1t would. l think
be difficult TO prove their deserving the
name of enemies And even though
they were our enemies, surely some
better way might be found for subduing
them than is found in their extinc-
ton

Ihave converted them unto my friends.
IF some such policy as this, recon-

a curious case was tried last week IL
Vienna. A young lady asked heavy
compensation from young man with
whom she recently danced at masked
ball, and who allowed her to fall Sc
heavily that she sustained severe inter
nal injury The defendant declared
that n.5 partner was poor dancer, and
il was difficult to guide her through
the crowded room. She reJOined that
the defendant had attempted some new
steps which he had seen in the opera
ballet and desired TO initiate. He
flung his legs about, " she said, and
went through some kind of a Russian
bent-knee dance, in the execution
whereof he tripped ME and We both
fell heavily. " The Judge decided that
a man couldn't be held response
bic for the safety of his partner, and
the case was dismissed.
