OF tnese seem tney go Tar towarus
making life less happy than it should
be. The temptation to make witty
remark at the expense of some ac-
quaintance is often very great, and
especially SO to persons who have
gained areputation for cleverness; but
ne who viii lose such an opportunity
rather than give pain or discomfort to
another deserves to be placed, along
with the man who rules his spirit,
above the conquerer Of city.
But bad as is the habit Of jesting to
the discomfort Of others it is trifling
fault compared to the love Of gossip
which impels people to repeat every
report they hear without taking the
trouble to inquire how much truth it
contains. Even when it is wholly
true, it is generally so much better to
keep silence about it instead Of pass
iGg it on to the next acquaintance ono
meets. A morbid anxiety to tell
something new impels the lover of
gossip to catch at the slightest hint of
some unusual occurrence, and then to
repeal the. story to every friend he
meets with all the minuteness Of an
eyewitness. Usually, if confronted
with denial and disproof OF the
story he has helped to c.:-eulate, he is
ready enough to regret ..the mistake
or to say he only repeated what he
was told, or what he understood; but
that goes only short way towards re.
pairing the harm that has been done.
for false report can travel so fax and
30 fast that the swiftest denial can
never overtake it. But suppose
story to be perfectly true, why should
anyone allow love Of talk to over
come every consideration Of pity for
the erring, and Of sympathy for the In
nocent who have been made to suffer
by his misdeeds? The crime or the
fault may be great, but if It do not
concern us personally what possible
pleasure can we find in proclaiming it
to the world? Il is surely case
where silence is divine-unfortunately
too divine to be often practiced.
II it were only malicious, evil-miud-
ed persons who tool delight in expos
ing the sins and weaknesses Of others,
there would not be anything surpris-
Ing in it; but when we fnd christian
women, who are scrupulously exact in
the performance of every other duty
and charitable 20 fault SO far as
almsgiviDg is concerned, so uncharita-
BILE in speech and wi),:ug to bring lis
grace on others ,ven on those of
their own sex wh,m their womanly
instincts should lm1el them to pro-
tsct--we cannot but wonder how it is
that they are so unconscious OF this
grievous fault in themselves. If they
would only recall the divine silence
of their Master when d certain woman
was brought to Him for condemnation,
they would not be among the first to
cast a stone at the weak and erring, or
to crush with their senrn these .ha
have already fallen
Again, there are many cases where
silence is best even though the words
we might utter are perfectly true. In
controversies where the dispatants are

Other Peoples Money"

The Lynchburg News has the following to say of "Other Peoples Money" which appears at the Jefferson Theatre next Tuesday night:
 Other Peoples Money as presented at the Opera House last evening was a de- cded success. An audience of fair size was present and that it furnished great amuse- ment was evidenced in the hearty laugh ter with which the sallies of wit and hu- nor and the striking situations were greet ed MT. Hennessy Leroyle, as MT. Hutch inson Hopper of the Chicago Board of Trade, was excruciatingly funny, and the mirth that fairly bubbled out of him was so contagious that his every word and ac- ton was received in most appropriate manner. MT Leroyle's support was eX- ceptionally strong, and at every stage of his excellent characterization he was given by the members of his company such intel ligent assistance that every feature of the performance was delightfully."- balanced and entirely effective. Altogether Other Peoples Money was one of the most en- joyable comedies that has been seen in Lynchburg for a long time, and the rep utation which MT. Leroyle established will make him a welcome visitor here in years to come"

it's in the name so remindful of some spot dear to everyone picturing a lovable old couple surrounded by happy young faces and hearted, snowy-haired friends, with whom they have toiled through life and hope to spend their last days Perhaps one also remembers how a great trouble threatened to send grand father and grandmother broken-hearted to their graves. and how the silver lining shown through the clouds before night. All have seen human griefs and gladness, and it is "The Old Homestead pictures that bring up other pictures made holy by association, ad to laugh at the first is an excuse to mourn or rejoice with the sec ond The story of "The Old Homestead" is delightful picture of rural simplicity, and the characters are lined with the strik- ing acuteness of a silhouette.
 ''The Old Homestead' will always rank among the great plays of the American stage, even after it has ceased tU be pre- scented and fingers only in memory. It has no plot no high-fown dialogue, no rolling periods; these are all lacking

WHERE vIOLINS ARE MADE.
Greater Part of Worlds Supply Manu-
 factured in Bavaran Highlands.

From the London Leisure Hour.
 In the village of Mittenwald, in the heart of the Bavarian highlands, live the men who manufacture the greater part of the worlds supply of violns. Mittenwald ha4 taken the place of Cremona, although 1t may take another two hundred years be- fore it's violins can be mentioned in the same breath with those of the famous Italian town.
 Of the 1900 inhabitants of the village over 800 are exclusively occupied in the manufacture of violins, and the output reaches the incredible figure of 50,0OO violins per annum. They are exported to all courI~ tries in the world the better instruments going to England and America. One or ganization of makers alone exports 15,000. Each family of violin makers has its own particular trade secret, sort of trick of the trade, handed down from father to son. Outsiders and, still more, rival makers, are not permitted into a work shop that is not theirs, The people of Mittenwald have an interesting violin school where the village boys are instructed in the gen eral technical departments of violin build ing. In the hall of this building is an in- scription to the following effect: "The ob ject of this school is to instruct the schoi- ars accepted in it's various arts connected with the manufacture of stringed instru-
 
 lin makers"
 The course lasts three years, and em braces, in addition, the art of drawing, singing and playing on the violin In the building of a violin much is left to the h. dividualty of the buldrs. It is seldom that two yiolins are exactly alike in ev- cry particular. The villagers of Mltten- wald are generally of opinion that the varnish with which the instrument is cov- cred is of the first importance and attrib- utes the fine tone of the violin made by Stradivarlous, Guarnerius and others to a secret of varnish which has evidently been lost forever. Mittenwald uses maple wood for its violins, brought from the distant forests of Dalmatia and Bosnia and pine wood of certain quality and wesinousness found only in the neighboring forests. The old looking violins seen in many music chop window not infrequently brand new instruments from Mittenwad The blackness and shabbiness the rubs and scratches tine Italian names of makers in side. and the picturesque date-let us say of 1743-are often the work of the ingenius fiddle makers of this remote idyllic village fin Bavaria. We must supply the market, they say in extenuation of this class of business; If we do not, some one else will"

and more inclined to avoid the responsibil- ty of marriage and acknowledged paternity and enjoy the freedom which bachelorhood gives. With the latitude accorded to man by nature and society in the matter of morals, he is not dependent upon marriage for his association with the opposite sex. And if he is at all attractive to women and is susceptible to their charms he is liable to become a menace to the highest order of civilized society
 Meanwhile maidens who would make ideal wives and mothers are being deprived of their natural rights and privileges and the worlds best interests are not advanced.
 Every bachelor, therefore, who remains single after the age of 35 ought to be will ing to pay a small tax for his freedom, and this sum should be used in the ests bish- ment of a home for single women incapable of self-support past the age of 40 or 45
 Nothing can be more absurd or unjust than the proposition to tax single women.
 There are no advantages in the life Of a single woman which would make her choose spinsterhood Deprived of the af- factions and comradeship of men by her own inborn dignity, the law of nature or the rules of society, she is in no degree the free and independent and well-loved and petted creature which the attractive bach elor is, even when he reaches the age of white hair and gout. Always, if he has the gallant eye and the generous hand, can he find some fond, foolish woman to coddle him, without the ties of marriage; and al ways there is the club and hotel comrade- ship, which enables him to pass agreeable evenings, denied the aging spinster. It Is the natural order of the universe that man should care for and protect and provide for woman.
 It is the nature of woman to long for such cares. The man who refuses to es- tablish home should be taxed. The wo- man who has been denied home by mans selfishness should not be taxed, in addition to her own loss.
 The tendency of such a law would be to increase marriages among the well-to-do classes.
 Bachelors would prefer to use their mon- ey in a personal home rather than in universal institution. Mans idea of econ- omy and thrift and the getting of somc- thing in return for his expenditure would come to the front and aid the cause of mar riage.
 By all means, tax bachelors.

"A Younu Wife,"

"A Young Wife will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre tomorrow night. The play has recently appeared in San Antonio, Tex, and the critic of the EX- press thus reviewed the play:
 Manager Weis gave the theater-goers of San Antonio good Christmas attrac- traction at the Grand Christmas day. It was the first production here of the East ern play, "A Young Wife" admirably pre- sented by Frank Tannehil, Jr., popular comedian, and his clever company. The play is full of good old time thrills and is easily melodrama of the better sort than Is usually played here. It depicts high and low life in New York, and is highly inter- esting. The story is a good one and the dramatst has told it in an excellent man. ner MT, Tannehill, the star of the com pany, is an unusually clever comedian, and as the young countryman making his first trip to the metropolis caused any amount of merriment. His song, Every thing Is Lovely on the Bowery," at the end of the second act gained some half a dozen encores. In the hands of less talented actor than MT. Tannehill the part

of Hod might become tiresome MT. Tan nehil will be remembered as having played Smith with Why Smith Left Home last season.
 Miss Ethelyn Palmer, who played the title role proved to be one of the best leading ladies seen in Texas this season. She is a handsome young woman of de- cided grace and easy manner. She had one of the most musical voices heard here in long time, and her scream at the dis coyery of the murder of her father-in-law was particularly well done. She rose to the requirements of this difficult emotional role in the third act and played this score cleverly, calling forth a deserved scene oa1l'

 deed, the patronage of ladies is confessed ly sought, it being the sensible conclusion of the promoters of the attraction, that where they go, men are pretty certain to follow, conclusion that has yet to be dis proven.

"A Hot Old Time"

Several critics have described Johnny and Emma Rays "A Hot Old Time as a high carnival of hlarity, and this char acterization of the piece seems justified by results Certain it is that no farce com- edy before the public is greeted with more laughter than punctuates the frequent good things in this play The merriment is continuous beginning with a minute or so of the rise of the curtain and continu- ing steadily without interruption until the close of the performance. The Rays will appear and "A Hot Time" will be pre- sented at the Jefferson Theatre on next Thursday night with the original scenery
 and strongly augmented cast. It has been the policy of the Rays ever since the orig inal success, nearly four seasons ago, to improve the production at every opportu- nifty, and the methods employed have nat urally resulted in growing favor that has lifted the Rays and the piece to the very pinnicale of success.
