CARRIE AND HER AXE.
Waterbury Next in the Path of Hrs.
 Nation.

At last Carrie Nation, who is known far and wide as the champion saloon wrecker is to visit Waterbury. She is not coming. however, on her favorite errand, and there is no req son 10 believe that she will smash any bar fixtures or mirrors during thc week she is to remain here. Tn fact. the saloon keepers are anticinatinc her coming with something akin to pleasure rather than dread as thev believe her presence in town will stimulate interest in their business. The Iiduor Dealers association. how ever, has taken no action as yat tow ards making Carrie fts crest of honor.
 This visit of Carrie Nation's to Wa terburv at this time Is due 10 Mana ger Poli. whose watchful eye never closes to the opportunitv of present. ing to his natrons at the Jacuues the latest novelties and varieties in the theatrical market When he learned that Mrs Nation was nrenared to con. sider an offer 10 play in vaudeville he at once snapred m the chance and secured her for a week at each of his tchain of theaters. During tho pres ent week she is anaa~ing at his Rridoeport theater and +ina people are turned away hv hundreds at every performance. She is proving +he big pest kind of a curiosity and Manager Po1i only regret~ that his theafer down there hasn't a+ least twice It's present canacity Ha is sending her t0 Waterbury next week. and the fame of her saloon-smashing career will. undoubtedly make her an object of similar interest ana curiosity here.
 According to tha Rridgeport nanevs. however. Mrs Nation is not posing merely as freak or curio. but is providing in her monologue talk that is Interesting for its subject mat ter and amusing for its wit and nith- mess Sha tells of her experiences in Kansas and elsewhere and some of tho incidents that made her terror to the law-breakinc element out there. hut doesn't hesitate to touch on mat ters that have come under her obser- vation fin the east also This talk is said to ha extremely entertaining, and her audiences in Bridgeport have shown the liveliest appreciation of her monologue One feature that adds vest to Mrs Nations monologue is the fact that she invites anyone in the audience to pop questions at her which she answers according to the spirit of the duestioner. Mrs Ella Wheeler Wilcox has been attacking her methods, of late in the columns Of the New York Journal and Mrs Nation has come back by issuing challenge to Mrs Wilcox to discuss the question in public. Manager Poli and Clark Ball, who is looking after the inter ests of Mrs Nation. have offered purse of $500 for debate between fhe two as to the best methods to em- ploy for the reformation of the youth of America, but the poetess of pas sion has not yet signified her willing ness to debate with the axe-slinger.
 Waterbury will be on the qui vive for Carrie next week. and she will probably stir up more of commotion than any celebrity that has visited the town in years.

Burns undoubtedly had reference to his
Departed sweetheart, his own Sweet
Highland Mary" There is Il sweetness
in the words, AMI they arc suggestive of
thought dear to many heart. MARY
In Heaven
How many. who were once called by
that name on earth. are now with the
redeemed in glory Were they all to sur
round their loving King in amy part of
the heavenly world. what an interesting
company they would he; how sweet the
songs of praise which they pour forth,
and how tender and strong the love they
bear To their wOnderous king of glory
The mltrCa. the maid, the infant, would
be there, and among them Mary, the
mother of Jesus" More Of that loved
name have gone TO Heaven than of any
other nam" by which man or woman is
called; and every month. week. day and
even every hour. tire number is incrca.S-
ing. OF the thousands who read the
Cecil Wing" are there not. many who
has known some MARY In Heaven"
The writer for himself can recall more
than a score Of them, without going lc-
yonI the circle of those he dearly loved.
MARY In Heaven" To how many
homes these three words havc Il Signific-
ancc which no language can describe.
They once had Mary among them.

Burns gave TO Them. Each Of them had

affection. the confidence, the pledge of a
true and earnest heart. But the Spoilcr
came: the fair form WIS proetratcd laid
Down in the grave. while the jewel which
the caSkct contained WAS treasured up
IN Heaven. They each loved their Mary
even as Robert Burns loved his.
That sacred hour can | forget
Can | forget the followed grove.
Where by the winding Elk we met
To live one day of parting love
Eternity will not cffacc
Those records dear Of transports past
Thy image at orr last embrace
All little thought we twas our last"
All, well. life with us will soon be over.
