AS the theatrical season comes on
we are again reminded of the variety
of plays that will be served up for the
edification of the amusement-loving
public. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that the tramp drama will be cut out
to some extent. The immortalizing of
the hobo is not edifying: neither is it
instructive and the example set is not
of the best. There are others in the
list of plays that could be left out and
the public would be better off thereby.

Mustaches were at stake in Newport,
r. l., all because Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish wanted to give a colonial ball
and she desired the men to look like
the boys Of '76. In order to take on
that look the hirsute appendages on the
upper lip were ordered removed.
Several of the gentlemen friends OF
the lady were willing to have the
razor applied to the mustaches, but
a dozen others gave the sign of dis,
tress and threatened to stay away
from the ball rather than part with
theirs. Mrs. Fish learned of this and
sent word that the mustaches could
remain and she desired them all to be
present at her function.

William Snively of Shady Grove.
Pa. took an heroic treatment fol-
rheumatism. He had lost the use oil
his arms, but could navigate quite
comfortably and walking into bis
orchard he made a vicious assault
upon the beehives, kicking them
right and left. The busy bees just
stopped long enough from manufac-
turing honey to get back at Mr..
Snively. They swarmed upon him
and literally stung him from head to
foot. When the swelling was reduced
Mr.. Snively was minus the rheuma-
ism. 1t is question whether sufferers
from the affection will follow in Mr..
Snively's wake.
