cigars until the erring husband is
forgiven.
Were the comedy lines written or
adapted by Leo Ditrichstein printed
in cold type they would look dull and
insipid. They are neither witty nor
bright. In fact. they are rather
hackneyed and are reminiscent of
many previous farces.
The play, however, is redeemed by
an especially capable company of
players, one of the best collections
of comedy talent seen here this sea-
son.
Such comedians as Thomas A. Wise,
John c. Rice, Edward Abeles and
George Richards could make even a
worse farce than Are You a Mason"
funny. and the audience at the Spo-
kane enjoyed many a hearty laugh
last evening.
The bill was repeated at the matt
nee this afternoon, and will be given
for the last time tonight.

the original aim of their institution,
had ceased in their withdrawal from
Palestine. They became involved in
politics; wealth and luxury were the
ambition of their social life; and
thence issued scandal and detection.
The purpose of the Knights of Column
bus is less circumscribed. 1t must
subsist as long as the Church needs
defenders of her faith and her pre-
cepts. And the name of "Knight"
need not offend; it is more likely to
inspire noble efforts, if only it recalls
to the members the glorious chivalry
of the men who, like Hugo de Payns,
took up the defence OF the Christian
pilgrim, supporting the priesthood and
giving glory to the name of Catholic.

room for the exercise of their devo-

it was possible to bring together such
a body of loyal. devout and selt-sac-

world, but which are in this case oper-
ative only for the strengthening OF
true religious convictions among the
laity.
But there is something more to be
said in behalf of this feature of mod
ern fraternity life. The idea OF
"knighthood" as distinguishing mark
of our societies is an inheritance and
prerogative of Catholic society, de-
spite the fact that it has been adopted
and abused for centuries by secret So
cieties of whose aims and methods
the Church does not approve. The
abuses and deterioration into which

efforts. To divide our forces now
would be most unwise, and, indeed,
most criminal. The fight for complete
self-government must not be arrested
by any mans ambition or any subor-
dinate endeavor. It holds the center
of the line and must be buttressed up
by the united and determined effort of
all the Irish people.

sheriff's Plea Halted the Mob.

A special from Jackson, Tenn.
Dec. 8, says: At an early hour this
morning a mob of men and boys
gathered at the county jail with the
intent to get John Haynes, the six
teen year old negro boy, out to
lynch him, for the attempted as
sault he committed yesterday after
noon on Miss Daisy Mcmahon, near
Malesus. this county. The mob
attempted to break in the north
door of the Jail, and when Sheriff
R. c. Mayo arrived they demanded
the prisoner. The sheriff positive
lY refused to give him up, and fur
ther stated that his daughter was
very low with fever and asked them
to desist, as any excitement might
cause her death. The majority of
the mob sYmpathized with him, yet
large number were for pushing
through and getting the negro and
carrying out their former intenz
tions. At this juncture the chief
and several policemen arrived az
dispersed the crowd.
