SECRETARY GAUGE Is
NOW OUT AND LESLIE
NJ. SHAW TAKES OATH
THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
Crowded House Saw the Great Play
Last Night.

The largest and probably the most
representative house of the season
greeted Denman Thompson's celebrat-
ed play, The Old Homestead, last night
at the Grand, no better pleased au-
dience ever left the theatre than the
crowd last night, all feeling better for
having experienced that little touch
OF nature which makes all the world
akin This pretty pastoral play was
in Brunswick some years ago, but
this years production was more elab-
crate than ever before and Denman
Thompson himself seems only to inn
prove with age. The vitality of The
Old Homestead is indeed remarkable
1t continues year after year with un-
abated prosperity The story is typi-
cal Of New England farm life and no
play has yet managed to capture the
hearts of city and country folks alike
so effectually as this play. Perhaps
| it is in the name so remindful of some
spot dear to everyone.
1t would be difficult to touch on the
strongest points Of this play as it has
no plot-no high flown dialogues, no
rolling periods, but is simply a char
acter study with plenty of light and
shade Intrigue is wanting, but in
its place is an exquisite representa-
tion of honest people and honest mo-
tives, Probably there are few actors
living who more thoroughly live a
character than does Denman Thomp-
son and. his portrayal OF Joshua Whit
comb was superb. The absence of
wig and make up made the character
a real parsonage who is living an ac-
tual life though behind the footlights.
The characters Of Happy Jack, Cy
Prime, Seth Perkins, Eb Ganzy, Aunt
Matilda and Riekety Ann played by
Fred Care, Chas. Carter. Chas H.
Clark. Frank Knapp. Mrs. Louise
Morse and Miss Annie Thompson re-
spectively, were all too good to allow
Of special mention The cast also in
cuded the famous double quartette
Of sturdy farmers whose singing
was delightful and every number was
enthusiastically appIaudeu. They
were heard to advantage in the Grace
church scene with It's grand choir of
twenty picked voices. No grander
scenic production than the striking
Grace church scene has ever been
staged in Brunswick.
McDufIfes orchestra rendered beau
tiful selections between the acts, and
each number elected hearty applause

WILL SAVE BIG MONEY.
Business Men Will Be Delighted
When the War Tax Ends.

When the War Tax Ends.
If congress adopts the suggestion of
the ways and means committee and
takes off all war taxes next July it
will mean saving of at least 100000
to the business men of Brunswick.
1t is estimated that they pay that
much more now into the treasury
through the revenue collectors once
than they did before the war with
Spain caused any war tax to go on.
1t is now suggested that all war taxes
be taken off.
Brunswickians pay now lor war tax
es in round numbers $3O,0OO.OO a year.
The normal sales before any war tax
es were put on amounted to 100000
year in round numbers. They will
drop back tothat figure again.
The banks of Brunswick will be
glad when the last war taxes are re-
moved. They have been spending at
the rate of about $4,000 a year for
documentary and other stamps since
last July. Before that date they spent
much more.

The fact OF misfortune to divers un-

be some association between Burncoat
Brook and Pond in Leicester and
Spencer and Burnshirt River, likewise
in Worcester County.
Drinkwater River is felicitous

is in Hanover, and possibly there may
have been a family of that name in

A Thousand Miles Mt Sen.

The question has been asked, is It
possible to sail 1000 miles from land?
This can be done at several points. BY
leaving San Francisco and sailing
northwestward into the North Pacific,
a spot is reached where there is no
land-not even ar islet-for 1000
miles in any direction. So, too, sail

Ocean it is possible to sail 1000 miles
out from the southern points OF Aus
tralia and New Zealand, and still be
as far from any other land, and the
same may be done in a westerly direc-
ton from Cape Horn. Indeed, from
this point a much longer distance

WOMAN WHO RIDES HORSEBACK.

St. Louis for some time past has
been greatly exercised regarding fair
equestrienne who has appeared daily
on the fashionable drives around La
fayette park riding her steed bareback
and astride. Her Identity was known
to few and the majority marveled
greatly at her skill in managing her
spirited steed and at her temerity in
setting at defiance the accepted Gus.
toms of her sex. With her blonde
hair dressed pompadour. and her blue
eyes flashing with exhilaration, clad
in clinging wrapper. wearing neither
hat nor gloves, she goes forth daily for
an equestrian stunt that astonishes
the avenue. The identity of the fair
horsewoman has finally become known
to the public at large. She is Miss
Jessie Goodpasture and belongs to an
excellent family. She knows a good
horse when she sees one. but she never
refuses a ride on any animal that is
offered, no matter how sorry a plug
he may be. She prefers a horse with
much spirit and plenty of speed. and
she does not object at all to one that
tries to throw her. Il have never been

Oklahoma and the way she rides horses

her mounts. Whenever a boy rides

LADY AND GHOST.
House No Longer Haunted After Drenm-
ar Takes Possession.

or Takes Possession.
In a recently published volume.
Dreams and Their Meanings" the fol-
lowing story is told: "A certain lady
dreamed frequently of a certain house
until 1t had become exceedingly ia
miliar to her. She knew all its rooms.
Its furniture. 1t was as well known to
her as that in which she lived her wax
ing life. and like good wife that has
no secrets from her husband, she often
talked over all the details with him
a very pleasant fancy. One day hus-
band and wife went into the country
to see house that they thought of
taking for the summer months. They
had not seen 1t, but the account in the
house agents list had attracted them.
When they arrived before it they gave
a simultaneous exclamation of sur
prise. Why said the husband, 1T is
your dream house!' 1t was. The coin
cidence attracted them. They took the
house. In the course Of their occu-
pancy they learned that the house had
the reputation of being haunted: that
several people before them had taken
1t for short terms, but had seen-or
IanCleu tney nau been- SOEnetnlnB,
and had left before their term of ten
ancy expired. Had these new tenants
not brought their own old servants
with them 1t is likely they would have
had some difficulty in whipping up n
domestic staff, SO uncanny was the rep
utation of their apparently quite re-
putable house. The new tenants dwelt
in the house with all satisfaction and
peace through the summer months un-
til their term of tenancy came to an
end. On leaving husband and wife
expressed their satisfaction to the local
agent. The only thing said the wife.
that we were disappointed in about
the house is that we never saw the
ghost
"Oh. no. said the ghost agent We
knew you would not see the ghost
What do you mean?' asked the
wife. rather nettled.
"'Oh,' the agent repeated. we knew
you would not see the ghost. You
are the ghost that people have always
seen here '"-Chicago News.

CHAPTER VII.

Had she been requested to go before
a magistrate and testify that she, her
self, was the guilty person, it could
scarcely have affected her more. Her
cheeks grew white. her lips parted. and
her eyes assumed beseeching look of
terror. Lady Hope hastily pushed n
chair behind her, and drew her down
upon it.
Really. Alice. you are very foolish
to allow yourself to be excited about
nothing" she remonstrated; you
would have fallen on the floor in an
other minute. What harm is there in
