Worth of Moral Qualities.

AS man grows Older he perceives
that the moral qualities are worth a
good dea, more in friendship than the
intellectual qualities, and that no
briliiancy of mind, no charm of con-
versation can make up for lack of 10y
atty, charity and generosity in social
intercourse. Young men of brains
are disposed to value mainly mental
power in other people, and it is hu-
man quality to forgive much in men
and women of genius. The time
comes when man learns that unself-
ishness and affection are better in
wife and friend than intellectual
power accompanied by intense SELF
love- Fortunate the man who does
not come to this knowledge too late.

Local Singers Score hit-A Crowded
House Witnessed the Powhatan Per-
Torrance Tuesday Euenins.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
have the reputation of always giving
something good and their offering to
the public of the Indian opera, "Pow-
hatan," at the Centennial opera house
last night only emphasized their good
name, and also demonstrated the fact
that Plymouth has splendid talent,
both musical and dramatic.
The opera is a very bright and
catchy one, hlied brimful of tuneful-
ness and overfowing with fun and
merriment. The audience was kept
in continued applause and as the
curtain went up on time and closed
without any dragging or disagreeable
bitches, everyone wondered where the
time had flown. All the singers ac-
quilted themselves with credit and
the dance and special features were
highly enjoyable.
Mrs. j. E. Miller, as Pocahontas
was well received in her solos, her So
prano voice being well suited to the
part. Eiss Emma Yockey, as her sis
ter, Laughing Star. was dainty and
coquettish. her work with Captain
John Smith and with her two Indian
admirers, Medicine Man and Path
finder, being above the average. Miss
vogel in the scene with the little In
dian boys was good and Miss Halle
Neff, with the pappoose lullaby, made
hit. Miss Hoham was well received
with her solo. Eldredge Thompson,
as Capt. John Smith, was splendid,
his voice and action all that could be
desired. His compass and history
book we're absorbing topics. Harry
Grub, as his companion, Captain
Rolfe, sang and acted agreeably. John
Butler made fine Chief Powhatan
1t would be hard to improve on Car
Reynolds and Robert Reeve as the
two funny Indians. They were sim.
ply perfect and their queer antics and
funny ways kept the audience in q
continual laugh. The chorus Of young
ladies was strong in volume and grace.
full in action; their appearance, too,
was charming. The American Beau.
ties dance was gracefully performed,
and the dance OF the children made a
great hit. Little Azelia Stein was a
cute little pappoose. Between the
acts Prof. Stahl sang and Robert Nc
Donald danced.
Miss Houghton played the accom-
paniment satisfactorily.

Medical men generally have reported
a universal prevalence OF pneumonia
during the last month and an excep-
tionally large number Of deaths. The
cause assigned is the abnormally cold
weather and frequent changes. In
Chicago there were 1913 deaths from
pneumonia last week as compared
with 101 during the corresponding
week last year. The bulletin of the
health department says: ''Similar
conditions are general elsewhere, both
In this country and abroad. Pneu.
monia is more prevalent and more "a
tai in England and on the continent
than in many year, and the same Il

County Clerk Brooke Monday after

The young lady was dressed in her
wedding gown and assured the clerk
that she was Is years old. but the
clerk said he would have to have an
