q THE TWO SISTERS"

The dramatic story of Denman Thomp.
son and George W. Ryer's play, The
Two Sisters" runs mainly through in
cidents in the lives of a bad woman from
the east and good man from the west.
Of course both sections have their good
and bad and they are shown in this re-
markably clever play. But there are
no rescue situations or the slightest sug
gestion that might bring the blush of
shame to the cheek of modcsty. It,
the story of life and love, of hope and
disappointment and the happy realiza-
ton that always comes at the proper
time to those that suffer and wait. You
will recognize all the characters, every
community has them, and they will give
YOU infinite amusement because they viii
tlways be saying and doing the very
things you know they would naturally
say and do. There's no straining after
fleet or going to France. Italy, or any
other PARKWAY place to bring characters
on the stage, and you can never by
and possibly know-except as an in
finite impossibility. "The Two Sisters
is n play of home and love, of the pco-
pie you know and like, that you can
laugh at any sympathize with. And they
will all be here on Saturday, March IS,
at the Grand opera house.

to follow quivering lines up and down

II have had dozens Of patients late

merely making them stop reading in

MANY men and women wonder
why they have those queer, binding
headaches when they reach home
after their nightly ride in the cars.
Well, most of them have the headache
that results from eye strain. The
trouble is insidious, and the eye itself
is rarely panied. The pain comes
from the strained, su%perinflamed
nerves behind the eye. and they carry
their trouble on TO the brain. Stop
reading in trolley cars, and there will

There are few jerks and false starts,

# BIRDS QUEER DEA7H SONG

There is a queer bird in the jungles
of northern South America which is
called the paul" by the natives, but
is known to science as the galeated
curasson. 1t is chiefly remarkable
because it sings its own death song.
1t does not really sing, but makes
a deep humming noise, which sounds
very much like the Spanish words Gel
muerto esta aqui'-"The corpse lies
here"
ut is while uttering this lugubrious
chant" said a South American trav-
eler. "that the 'pauji' usually meets
its death, for the hunter can then
easily track it to its retreat, and il
falls a victim, as the Indians say, to
its own death song"

settlers" as they are called, sometimes
work hard and live frugally until they
add acre TO acre and become wealthy
men, rivalling the richest of the
"buckra" planters. More often, how
ever, they work just hard enough to
get a little clothing and to pay their
taxes. Their wants are few in a
tropical land where nobody need
starve if he has sufficient energy to
pick fruit from trees on the roadside.
The Blacks Own the Land.
Until the system of land tenure in
Jamaica, every negro in the country,
if he chose, could own his own plot
of ground, his own house, his pigs and
cows, and ride to market on his own
horse or mule. Many of them do, and
the Government does It's best to pro-
mote the settlement of the negroes on
the land as independent proprietors.
1t gives them land, and lets them pay
for it by small instruments.
Naturally, under these conditions
the white planters find it hard to get
laborers. The negro who wants to
work may be a planter himself, if he
chooses, and the negro who does not
want to work car live without work.

The front seams of the skirt were

black criss-cross braid decorations.
As a summary of the coming Win

certainty that the long coat, the rich

ban and the strapped skirt will be

the bird has seen him, or scents dan

for the sportsman to do is to remain
perfectly still. The bird may become

Xxx maica, IN the British West
NN Indies, are fond of calling
themselves. The white
planters for generations back have
mostly been Scotsmen; and the color
ed folk who work for them, or hap
pen to have been born on their planta-
tons, have a curious habit of taking
their names.
Thus it is that the island is peopled
by a multitude of yellow, brown and
black acDougalls, MacDonalds,
Campbells, Stewards, MacPhersons,
MacLeods, Maclaines, Mackays,
MacIntyres, Ogilvies and MacGreg-
ors. No Highlander is prouder of his
clan than they. The lack of the blood
tie is a little detail they do not worry
about. Many of them think them
selves as good Scots as any man
who ever came out of Kirkcaldy.
These black Scotsmen are a quaint,
good-natured, good-humored, light
hearted folk, who give no trouble TO
the white authorities and are as happy
as the day is long.
A Race of Happy testers.
AS is only natural with happy peo-
pie, they are always laughing and jok-

Joke wi deefeeculty."
Although not witty, in the French
sense of the word, the West Indian
negro is often very quaint and droll.
Sir William Robinson, a former Gov
crnor of Trinidad, tells about the
black butler of a friend of his, who
dropped a favorite reading lamp and
smashed it into pieces. When he was
scolded he merely showed his white
teeth and remarked calmly, "Massa,
l nebber had much 'pinion OBJ dat
lamp"
Another quaint remark was made
by a negro who was found sitting idly
under a palm tree by the late Bishop
Rawle, of Trinidad.
How on earth do you manage to
pass the time, when you never work.
asked the good Bishop, who was the
most energetic man in his diocese.
Il don't pass time, Massa," the ne.
gro smilingly replied. 81 sit in de

An old man was sitting outside hrs

These quaint people carry their

suit some of the principal departments
of the Government, such as the Treas
ury and the Post Office, are controlled
by men of color; a colored mar was
formerly colonel in command of the
colonial militia, and is now a member
of the Governors privy council; two
colored men-one a p~ure-blooded ne
gro-are members of the legislative
council; and hundreds of negroes and
mulattos hold Office as magistrates,
Government officials, and members of
the parochial councils which admins

tricts of the island.
Blacks Choose Whites to Rule Them.
The blacks are enfranchised. Every
negro who pays two dollars and a half
in taxes during the year has a right TO
vote for members of the legislative
council and the parochial councils. In
almost every case the best available
candidate is elected. AS the colored
people form over 80 per cent. of the
electorate, they could make the coun-
ellis as black as the Parliament of
Hayti if they chose. They do not.
They nearly always choose a white

superiority of the whites. They are
conservative in temperament, and dis
like to see va "buckra" doing any
mental work which is usually perform
ed by men of their own color.
Many of the negroes appreciate the
benefits of education and often prac-
tice s~elf-denial in order TO save I'D
enough money TO send their children
to the secondary schools. Elementary
education is free, and the Government
has established good schools all over
the island. But some of the non-ofi-
cial seminaries which are run inde-
pendently by mulatto teachers are de-
cidedly peculiar. A Jamaican Judge
named Rampant, copied the follow
ing announcement from a signboard
affixed TO a tamarind tree outside one
of these hedge schools:

A Negroes Hymn.
Another negro schoolmaster, ac-
cording TO the same judge, taught his
pupils the following hymn-his own
composition:
Come. Jesus with the shining face,
Come down and bless thine infant race,
