The Torn 1'heater Tickets.

THE other afternoon" said the man in
the box office of a theater, according to
the Philadelphia Record, "a boy came to
me and said Are these any good? and
[ took from him two front row seats for
that night, which had been torn into
hundred pieces or so, and cleverly pasted
together again. oh, yes, my child these
are good [ assured the boy, but how did
this accident happen to the tickets? The
boy replied: Why, papa came home with
them last night and showed them to
mamma, and he seemed to be in such a
good humor somehow that mamma
thought it would be a good time to tell
him how she ON ed over 500 for provisions
but he got so mad that he said that every
night nov he wouldn't come home till
after y O'Clock, and he told me when l
got married to look out for sensible wo-
man. All the time mamma laughed. and
he was getting madden, and so he said she
wouldn't go to the theater with him after
that, and he tore the tickets up and rushed
out somewhere alone. l picked up the
pieces off the carpet and pasted them to-
gether, and if you'll exchange the tickets
for matinee ones l guess I'll come down
on Saturday with some other fellow and
take in the show I gave other tickets
to the candid kid, and he walked away
very well pleased with himself"

There has been found in Havana a

city for his health in 1928, up to the time
when, by special act of Congress- he took
the oath OF office for the vice presidency
there.

Thomas Yates of Toledo, O., is the
only American citizen who took part in
the famous charge of the Light Brigade
at BalaklaVa. He was in the Seventeenth

Rev. Arthur Robins, chaplain in ordi-
nary to Queen Victoria, says of the Queen:
Nothing could be more touching than
the personal concern Her Majesty has in
the condition of every member of her

After all. the new woman" is not such
very new institution. says the Youths
Companion. Few advocates of women's
suffrage to-day have better arguments in
reserve than that which, on one occa-
sion, silenced Horace Greeley.
The famous editor had thrashed over
the question of womens rights with an
able representative of their sex, and
wound up with the contention that in
times of war women were quite useless.
What would you do" he demanded, lin

Just what you would do, Mr. Greeley
replied his opponent promptly. II should
sit in my office and write articles urging
other people TO go and fight"

not yet been reached In New York there
is shortly to be erected a twenty-story
building to have a floor space of $50, 900
square feet, at the corner of Broad street
and Exchange place All told the struc-
ture is to cost in the neighborhood of
100000. The key" to the ground plot,
a little section of % by 100 feet, cost the
projectors 100000. seventy-eight years
ago this same little plot of ground was
sold for $3.50, and was thought to have
fetched fabulous sum.

The starvation cure" is becoming
quite a fad in Philadelphia and hun
dreds of persons are said to be curing"
themselves of Indigestion, dyspepsia and
other ailments through abstaining from
food for number of days at a time.
The Philadelphia Press names half a
dozen cases in which men and women
claim to have found permanent relief
through fasting from twenty to forty
six days. One feature of the "cure" up
on which no special stress has been laid.
but which is deserving of considera ton,
is the fact that fasting makes grocery
bills light.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal Dem)
says; Joseph Chamberlain ought to car
ry his speech censor along with him He
inadvertently in his speech on Monday adj
mitted that the Beers were "a people
whose tenacty and coura ge are admira-
BILE" and also conceded "the enormous de
fensiVe powers possessed by troops defend
ing their own country The truth will
crop out even in the utterances of slick
Joe Chamberlain, the man who made the
war"
TIL Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
THE Republican Senate financiers are at
their old tricks. They have added to the
financial bill a section which favors BIZ
metallism provided that the same can be
secured by concurrent international agree
ment at ratio which shall insure the per
mancnce Of the relative value between
gold and silver. Two impossible condi-
lions. The senatorial grandmothers are
playing politics again"
The Springfield CMass) Republican
QndD says: Kentucky was probably good
for rousing Republican majority this
fall. before the Goebel killing and the
Taylor resort to force. 1t is now good for
as large a majority the other way. This
IS the opinion even of many Republic an
politicians, and the fact ought TO be suhi-
cient to restore the Taylor faction to rea-
SON"
The Buffalo IN. " Courier (Dem) says:
Senator Bacons proposition that the Fill
ipinos are as much entitled to the right of
solf-government as the Cubans Is one that
cannot be successfully disputed. His reso-
luton committing Congress, 10 such
policy after the war is ended, will afford
an excellent opportunity for testing the
sentiment of the Senate"

Pretty nearly year ago We pointed out
20 the Central of Georgia Railway the
benefit to it and to this city which a line
of steamships from this port to Havana
would be. For reasons of its own the
Central did not think il advisable to adopt
our suggestion, but its president said that
it would gladly cooperate with any com
pany that should establish such line
1t has been announced that a line be-
tween Savannah and Havana is about to
be established, having it's Savannah termi-
nal at the wharves of the Central. It is
to be presumed therefore that the Central
will give the line all the announcement
ii can.
There is no reason why the line should
not be a paying one. A very large part
of the merchandise that Cuba takes from
this country is produced in the West and
South. The West produces the flour and
meat and the South the cotton goods
The return carGoes are not likely to be
large at first, though they ought TO in
crease steadily. If we had a sugar re-
finery here there would be no trouble
about return cargoes. 1t was the inten-
tion of one of our business men a year
or so ago 10 see what could be done to-
wards getting capital for sugar re-
finery, with the view of bringing sugar
here to be refined He thought that the
local territory would furnish a good deal
of syrup for refining and, in time, would
fully supply large refinery But until
it did so he proposed to import raw sugar
from Cuba. 1t may be that he has not
yet abandoned this idea.
As to whether or not the new line will
be successful viii depend upon the agent
1t is stated that Capt Purse is to be the
agent. 1t is certain that he will hustle
for business, and will get it if anybody
can.
As we have said there will be no trou-
bic after che line becomes fairly estab-
lished in getting cargoes for export, and
it is probable that paying import trade
win be built up sooner than is generally
expected The new enterprise deserves
to be encouraged In every possible way.

The shooting Of Mr.. Goebel of Kentucky
develops into frst-class mystery. Jack
CHM ana Warden Lillard, who were with
Mr.. Goebel when he was shot, say hat
smokeless powder was used. 4 special
newspaper dispatch says that the autopsy
showed he was shot with a com,uon Win
chester rife, such as The mountalneers
generally own. These arms, as Il rule,
burn the black powder. Chinn and Lillard
are Of the opinion that the shots came
from the third story of the executive build
ing. The direction of the btiiet through
the body, it is alleged, indicates that the
taiai shot came from a lower elevation. II
has been thought that politics was at the
bottom of the assassination, but Une sug-
gestton that the killing was in revenge for
Mr. Goebels shooting of Sanford some
time ago, and that the assassin took sd-
vantage of the political excitement TO con-
ceal his identity, is accepted by many. An
in all, the murder of Goebel makes a c0se
fun of interesting features, and one that
is likely to become famous in the annals
of crime in America.

When George G. Perkins was sent to
the senate by Governor Markham up
on the death of Senator Stanford, his
friends said that at@the meeting of the
legislature, two years later, Senator
Perkins would make way for somebody
else. says the San Francisco News
Letter. But when that time came the
senator thought he would like to serve
out the balance of Senator Stanford's
term, and so he was elected for two
years more. And when it became
necessary to choose a senator for the
full term of six years, Mr.. Perkins
again leaped into the breach. His
friends considered that he was entitled
to one full term-only one-as an in
dorsement Of his congressional record.
He secured the Endorsement and also
the term, which will expire in four
years more
Ambition now being fully satisfied,
his friends felt free to consult Senator
Perkins upon the selection of worthy
citizen to succeed him.
