ing recital for the season. The

TO attend.
On Saturday evening the music
loving people Of the city will have
the opportunity OF nearing one Of the
best musical organizations In the
country, 1t will appear at Com
meneement Hall under the manages
ment OF the Lecture Committee.
This is the second OF the entert aim
ments under the management of this
committee. The affair is expected TO
be one OF the most notable that has
ever taken place In the city.
Speaking Of the concert which was
recently given at Huntington by
Misses Russell McMufphy and Flora
Hayes together with several other
talented musicians the Huntington
Herald says in regard TO those who
are known la Margantown:
An appreeiatise audience greeted
the musicians as they appeared in
their respective roles of piano players
and singers. The musical element in
Huntington society has learned the
worth OF the true artist, and the per-
formances Of last night were indeed
genuine musical delights.
Too much cannot be said In praise
OF the efforts OF Miss Russell McMur-
ply. Lack of space forbids the TAX
Ing up ia detail Of separate numbers
on the pragram. BY way OF general
comment IL may be said that Miss
MeMarphys playing expressed the
profound feeling and character of a
virtnoso OF the highest class. The
artist overshawdowed the mastery OF
mere technique, manifested 10 dag
zling runs and octave passages.
Depth Of feeling, delicaey OF expires.
sion, individuality aud strong inter-
probation Of the dramatic features
covered the entire audience with the
spirit Of the productions. Miss MeMur-
ply combines these qualities with
charming personality which won her
audience at the beginning Of the per-
Torrance.
Miss Hayes who has appeared here
once before In concert work, rendered
one number, a brilliant movement
from Weber. Miss Hayes playing
may be characterized as elegant, pos
sessing character, hrmaess, strength
and life. The young lady threw into
artistic form the exact conception of
the composer. Miss Hayes inspi ing
stage presence and sweet nodesty,
which by the way is innate, favorably
disposed her audience before she be-
gan 20 play. The number was warm
~ applauded and after several urgent
appeals she responded most graciously.
Or. Eugene Warren sang as a solo
Forever with the Lord at the M.
Il, church on Sunday morning. He
has very superior voice and the
large audience that filled the church
was greatly pleased with his rendition.
At night Miss Mary Gregg sung a solo
with fine effect. The choir rendered
some excellent music at both services.

RURLE RETURNS.
Accused man States That Great In
Justice has Been Done him.

William Ruble IF Smithfield has
returned to the University. He came
in on Sunday to resume his studies.
1t will be remembered that he was
charged with having threwn the mu-
cilage bottle which SO painfully in
jured young Border on last Tuesday
evening. It was stated that he had
run away to escape the consequences
of the act
All this Is denied by Mr.. Ruble who
comes of an excellent family and has
at all times borne an excellent repu-
tation. He says that he had intend
ed TO 90 home to spend the holidays
and had expected to go on Tuesday
but remained until early Wednesday
morning
He knew of the accident but did
not know that he was charged with
causing it When he left another
young man was under suspicion and
be did not imagine that he was under
suspicion until he saw the statement
10 several outside papers.
In this connection it is Of interest
to state that Ralph Border who was
injured will not lose the eye as at
first expected would be the case. He
is getting along very nicely and in
short time will be restored to bis
usual condition.

fenced Jade Fanshaw's tongue forever.

under the house crowed and tapped his
wings. Dave came upstairs and shook
his brother, who had fallen asleep only
about an hour before.

MAKERS OF WILLS.
Find 1t Very Troublesome to Draw
Up the Papers I'm Bavaria
and Prussia.

Bavaria seems to have placed the
most effective pitfalls and barbed wire
entanglements in the path of the
guileless maker of wills. In that
country it is imperative that the most
simple will must be attested with all
solemnity by seven separate witness
es, who must be present at the same
time; and their action must be sane
toned and their signatures must be
authenticated by public notary.
Prussia has also it's special compEca-
lions, under the code of Frederick II.
That monarch, distrusting Ignorant
notaries, or ministers. or casual per-
sons but little learned in matters of
law" decided that only wills made in
solemn form before Justices or judges
should be valid. To these experts all
particulars must be told, any ques-
tions they choose to put must be an
swered, and they finally draw up the
document, read it to the testator and
append their signatures. If it is pre-
ferred the will may be drawn before
hand and submitted to the judges,
who, after due inquiries to satisfy
themselves that all is right, will sane
ton and confirm. it.

could hardly be recognized. The mound
had scarcely received it's shape when
it was robed in white. 1t was as if Ma
ture had spread an emblem of forgive
ness over Jade Fanshaw's last resting
place.
Ronald rode home in the wagon con-
! tanning Mrs. Fanshaw, Dave, the two
girls and Bud TarbeI. Arriving at
home the girls went into the house and
Mrs. Fanshaw hustled about on the
hackpcrch, opening the window blinds
which she had closed that no one might
gain access to her house during the
absence of the family. There Ronald
found her, still in her bonnet and heavy
shawl. Her eyes fell before the hun
cry stare of his own.
81 want to see you in private" he said,
excited in spite of a strong effort at
calmness. She moved as if to pass him
and go into the house, and then she
paused before him, logged expression
in her unsteady glance.

she said; 81 wouldn't pay no attention
to that boy"
"You've been keeping something
IRON me-SOmetnlnS concerning my
self, all my life," he heard himself
saying in deliberate tones.
She caught her breath, and then
looked through the hall at Bud Tarbell,
who was turning his wagon away from
the gate. =
''Dave tor me back thar at the grave
jest now" she faltered, shat you said
you never would give me no trouble
about anything. If knowed that
you would not bring me to court, an
that you would let us have the insur-
ance money to buy land in Texas, Ron,
I'd not keep back a thing"
"Your name shall never be men
toned" he promised, now chilled to
the center of his heart by what might
b-revealed. "-have a right to know it,
if am not your son, and not his. You
know you are welcome to the insurance
money"
Cant you put it off till after supper,
when all the rest is asleep? I am so

Many refusal to sit. for a picture

It remains for the Devonshire folk.
however, to give a new point ON "mak-
ing up" for a sitting. S. Barring
Gould's "Book of the West" supplies
the incident: The looks of Devon
shire and Cornish lasses are proverb-
ial. A complexion of peaches and
cream, well-proportioned body and
well-mo1ded features are the charac-
teristics. West Country women, as
they are called. cannot forget they
were once comely. An old woman of

La Grippe is epidemic eatarrh.-It spares
no class or nationality. The cultured and
the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pau
per. The masses and the classes are alike
subject to Ia grippe. None are exempt-au
are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has the
grip got you? Grip is well named. The
original French term, la grippe, has been
shortened by the busy American to read
grip" Without intending to do SO a new
word has been coined that exactly describes
the case. As if some hideous giant with
awful Grip had clutched US in its fatal clasp.

'.Dr. Wade's jest gone off, :" she told
Ronald, che says it's the second stroke
he's had, an that the next one will
carry i'm off as sure as preachin'. If
I was you wouldn't go nigh i'm, Ron,
it's best to humor pussons like he is.''
Our hero made no reply. Dave came
from the sick room and stood on the
stone hearth warming his toes at the
flames. Mrs. Fanshaw had found the
bottle for which she was searching, and
turned to go.
''He won't last long," she said to
Dave; stseems to me heerd yore pa say
he left off payin' on his life insurance
1.-TWO yeer ago he did," said David,
Gespondently. ST had put good money
of my own into that, thinkin' if he died
the insurance would help us buy farm
of our own out west, whar Uncle Joe
says they are SO cheap, but in that
was burnt pa let it lapse, an it's gone
to the devil"
cts jest our usual luck" grumbled
the old woman; 'some n would "a hap
pened to a-kept all that money from
reachin' US anyhow. We never was
born under good star"
Ronald looked up. "You needn't let
that bother you, mother" he said, soft
ly. "The insurance policy is all right;
I attended to it,"
The sudden change in Mrs. Fanshaw
was not alone due to gratified surprise.
Ronald thought he had never seen her
look at him quite so strangely. She
started to say something, which seemed
TO have rushed impulsively to her
tongue, and then she shook her Shout
Gers, closed her lips tightly and left the
room.
Dave laughed. ''She certainly acts
peculiar to-day" he said. ''Dang it, pa
does, too, as for that matter. wish you
could a heerd i'm rant about you jest
now. He thinks you've got old Reddin'
an twenty other lawyers on his track
about some'n."
To this observation our hero made
no response.
