People might say the most unpleasant
things about each other, but if they were
said to Miss Keturah that would be the
last of them. She never was known to

her quiet life.
The knowledge of this was in her sub
consciousness, even at the time when she
told young Mrs. Vincent that Mrs. Over

couple she ever saw, and she had seen q

her caller went home in tears

began to tell her guest what had been
said about her butter by Mrs. Vincent.
She said she believed you put in so
much salt to make 1t weigh more, and
she had mind to buy salt in the first
place and save money" Miss Keturah
repeated this remark with great relish.
"Of course, 1 don't agree with her al

like it salt. Mrs. Miles was in here the

butter. She thinks as I do, but she said

Mrs. Overton looked very angry. I'm

declared. TN tell her that she needn't
bother to get milk of us if she don't

that will be glad to buy it, and folks that

romantic comedy Heart and Sword"
The following is from the Charlotte OBJ
server:
Heart and Sword is a romantic COM
edy. or, II one prefers the term, COM
edy-drama- The lines are clean, clever,
smart In the finer sense Of humor and
never for a moment uninteresing. The
story-not so new in idea but always at
tractive--is of a careless, playful prince
who idled until he was walked from his
lethargy to find that TO save his little
kingdom he must wed the princess OF "a
neighboring principality, who warred with
his people. He proposes 10 her as
prince; assumes another personality when
he meets her by chance; wins her heart
by the man in him and her hand when
he throws Off disguise and appears as the
prince redeemed IN the last act. IT'S a
pretty play; to be easily spoiled by poor

Among these is Sol Smith Russell, that

Manager Fred Weis left yesterday after
noon for Galveston, Tex, his former

serious fitness of one of his sisters

Weis interferes with the plans he had
made TO go 10 New York to look into the
situation regarding the proposed vaude-
vile season. Mr.. Weis said he could do
nothing until he returns to Savannah.
Perhaps he would not go to New York
at ell, but would get his brother Sidney
Weis to make the engagements for him.

members OF the cast gave excellent sup

acrobats and gymnasts, who Offer in

a wonderful exhibition of the highest
attachments in the art of gymnasia.
A notable engagement is that of Irene
and Zaza. 1.-THE Girl with the Dog With
the Auburn Hair" This is one, If not
the most novel feature Of the present
year and must be seen to be appreciated.
Among other engagements are Miss
Katherine Harris, who is conceded to be
a most clever singing and dancing come
dienne.
The Sisters Clements, a duo of pretty
opponents of sweet singing and graceful
dancing, and Richard Il. Brown, one Of
the cleverest mimics and comedians
whose monologue is not only funny and
timely, but exceedingly interesting.
As a special feature Manager Yale has
bought outright from the inventor, Mr..
w F. Hamilton, and will present solely
with this attraction, new electric sem
sation entitled THE Dance of the Ele-
ments." This absolutely new effect prom
Uses to be quite novelty. Its parapher-

introduction of a number of new IDEAS

scenic investiture, forms one of the most
beautiful light and color ideas that has

In all, the nineteenth edition of the

any former presentations of this show
piece. which is strong statement when
one considers the many new features and
novelties offered since its initial produc-
