The story has to do with the post-bel-

an idyllic one The character of
Colonel Moberly will long live i'm the
annals of stage history as one of the
most delightful ever conceived by an
American dramatist. The drama made
the reputation of Augustus Thomas. Its
theme and purpose are as clear and re-

and honor of Southern traditions.

HadN arrow Escape From
Watery Grave.
Excellent Performance at Summit Lake
Park This Week.

The alluring coolDess of Summit
Lake park drew large crowd Monday
evening, and that they were well re-
warded by their evenings entertain
ment was sufficiently evidenced by tho
hearty applause given all the attrac-
tions.
The balloon ascension, as ever. ex-
cited wonder and surprise, and the
display of fireworks from midair
brought forth many obs and Ans"
of appreciation. The plucky little lady
who makes the ascension had another
narrow escape from the lake. but by
dint Of vigorously swinging the para
chute, succeeded in landing OH firm
ground at the edge of the water.
In the casino, Smith and Yorker
proved to be hurricanes. as funmakers
and captured the crowd at once. Their
act was difficult and ludicrous and they
were cncored repeatedly. The Saville
Sisters proved 10 he an exceedingly ver-
satile pair and in spite of repeated
encores always brought out some
thing new. As child impersonators,
they We're true TO life, their hornpipe
dancing was we'll received, and their
electrical butterfly dance was an ex-
ceedingly beautiful feature of the
bill.
Kelly and St Clair introduced a real
old plantation scene. Their make-ups
as aged darkeys of the ''foh de wah"
type were clever and their act was
well received.
Al Simpson gave a very pretty solo
on his xyloihone and Lou G. Lees
inimitable ragtime interludes on the
piano were appreciated
There was not an unpleasant incident
to mar the evening and the park will
doubtless draw large crowds the re-
maindcr of the week.

professional magicians sometimes
meet with some ludicrous mishaps,"
said Lawrence Crane, whose feats of
sleight-of- hand pleased the audience
at Lakeside park Casino last night,
more especially early in their careers,
1t is the really clever magician, how
ever, who never loses his presence of
mind, and, no matter what goes wrong,
instantly diverts the attention of the
audience or mt once so alters his trick
that few, il any, of the spectators re-
alize what has occurred.
among the whole category of mis-
haps, however. none has proved fatal
excepting those caused through the
bullet trick, which has brought fame to
dozens of conjllrers and death to at
least six performers. This trick con
sists in the performer loading a pistol
with leaden bullet and allowing one
of the spectators to fire at him, when
he catches the bullet between his teeth.
'rhe secret lies in the fact that in
loading the pistol the magician sub
stitutes bullet made of black lead for
the leaden bullet, while the genuine
bullet is secretly slipped into the con
jurer's mouth.
"Only Il few months ago conjurer
handed the pistol to a young man for
the purpose of firing While the con
,iurer was returning TO the stage the
man introduced another bullet into the
pistol.
1.-The pistol was then discharged, and
the bullet crashed through the brain of
the conjurer, who fell dead. The man
who had fired the pistol was immedi-
ately arrested, but was acquitted.
"Still more tragic was another case
in which an ingenious performer made
up to represent William Tell, and each
night would shoot an apple from the
head Of his son, the bullet being after
ward found embedded in the apple.
'''fhe feat was of course nothing more
than trick, but one evening, through
mistake, the lcadcn bullet was fired
from the gun the boy leing killed. The
coniurer was sentenced TO six months
Imprisonment for homicide, and short
ly after his release from prison died

what Variety of Grape Is Best to
Plant Near the Salem. and Other I'M
perfect Varieties for Purpose of Pol
lenization?" was discussed.
Mr.. Crawford said that it is only re-
Gently that we have found out that the
Salem needed any other variety to
help polarization.
1.-TWO or three vines growing togeth-
er.even of Salem," he said, would prob
ably pollenize each other. The idea is
to get the pollen from some other
vine or vines as much as possible.
"All fruits are helped by pollenizinG
each other. The wind, the bees and
other insects help to carry the pollen
from one plant to another. n rainy
time is not favorable to perfect pollen
ization. Plant any variety near the
Salem.
"The grape is not appreciated half
enough In this climate grapes can
be had for six months of the year by
properly selecting those varieties that
will make n succession"
"What Forage Plants Can Be Most
Successfully Grown In This Locality
to Be Used for Soiling Through August
and September was discussed in an
interesting manner.
James Miller said that, many differ
ent plants had been tried and recon-
mended, but in this climate there is
nothing like corn; for early use plant
some of the early varieties.
|. Payne said lie could not say which
crop was the best, but he had sue
cessfully grown sorghum and It made
good nutritious feed, but this Jear he
planted ensilage corn.
o. w. Scott said the best feed he had
ever tried through August was ensil-
age. Kept in the silo. from the pre-
vious year, but that this year he had
more.
Mrs. Waggoner showed specimens of
forage plans; also some Swiss-Chase

"How Can Farmers BE Induced to
Join This Organization" was dis
cussed.
Il. l.. Hale said. this is a hard ques'
ton but he has come TO the conclusion
that when we allow the financial fea'
ture to go down people will not take
SO much interest, In Medina county
they are making special effort along
the line of purchasing fertilizers. In
