Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has the repu-

women in her particular set, and 1t Is
also a well-known fact that once she

project goes through.

Katie Barry, the Cinderella of the COM

midnight, the next day being Sunday.
Persuasion was of no avail. Miss Bar

for the Sabbath. After consultation
with the manager, it was found that
even with the assistance of the speedy
automobile to transport the members
of the cast and the necessary scenery
to her home, the hour would be peril
ously near IL: As. Another ten minutes
would be passed in setting the stage,
and Miss Barry would have to sing
her song at just ten minutes past the

would have to be omitted. But Mrs
Fish thought otherwise. Some indef'

with paint brush and colors, and at
the end of an hour or two very cred

were startled by prolonged sqneaks
and scamperings, coming apparently
from among the clans. The surprise
was made complete when. on opening
the door, they found two rats held prIs-
oners, one with clam on his tail and
the other with hind foot hard and
fast between the shell of another clam.
The one with his foot fast was un.

For at least two thousand years the
act of fighting against ones fellow
countrymen has been called treason.
The word the Romans used for traitor
meant one who took up arms against
the State. The law in force in En-
gland. which was passed In 1852, In
fine reign of Edward Ill, specifies
many offenses as constituting the crime
of treason. Among them is this ITO
levy war against our lord the king In
his realm. or to be adherent to the
kings enemies In his realm, giving
them aid and comfort In the realm or
elsewhere" The Constitution defines
treason in the United States as levy
ing war against them or in adhering to
their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort" Statesmen have held that
sucb laws are necessary. They used to
believe that the punishment of traitors
sbould include torture. Even when
thew did not advocate boiling In OIL or
some other horrible penalty, they IN
