INSPIRING CONFIDENCE

In a small town in the interior of
Pennsylvania the old-fashioned coach
is still used as a vehicle Of transpor-
tation The town is situated several
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton. and visitors are compelled to
ride from the station TO the town in
ramshackle coach pulled by horse
of old vintage. Frequently the
coach was overcrowded and the horse
often had a difficult time pulling the
load up a certain long and steep hill.
The driver and owner, a typical back
woodsman, was sometimes compelled
to resort TO stratagem in order 70
land his passengers safely in the
town.
On one occasion the coach was par
ticularly crowded, and the horse was
bravely Juggling the filed vehicle up
the hill. Every once in a while the
driver would stop the horse. go 10 the
back of Cle coach. open the door
slam il shut and then start the
horse This method of procedure
aroused the curiosity OF tie passen.

was reached one Of them turned to
the driver.

In Seelbaeh's hotel a drummer was
telling of an experience during a re-
cent visit to a little out-of-the-way
town in Kentucky, says tae Louisville
Courier-Journal.
The town looked so quiet t1at I
thought the inhabitants must use
alarm clock to arouse themselves at
dinner time. I'll bet | am the only
stranger who has been there in the
last year Out in front Of the grocery

He looked to be the persOuifieatiOn
of lonesomeness and | felt sorry for
him. II seemed a shame that a man
should pass his entire life so far from
all that makes life worth the living.

the time of day, said:
Pardon me. but have you lived
here all your life?'

WARD AND VOkES TO
END PARTNERSHIP
AFTER TWENTY YEARS THEY
AGREE TO SEPARATE, EACH
TO HAVE A NEW ORGANIZA-
TON WELL KNOWN IN
CAIRO.

Patrons of the Cairo opera house
who have witnessed the Performance
es of Ward and Vokes will be inter
ested in the following from the New
York Telegraph
The theatrical world will be aston
ished to learn that the team of Ward
and Vokss is to be dissolved at the
end of the, current season, each of the
comedians to go his individual way
at the head of a separate Organiza-
ton.
Only the fainIest whispers Of dis
content between these partners of
many years have ever reached the
ears of their friends and while diff
fersnces of opinion have arisen from
time to time there are many circum-
stances indicating that the parting
will be one of sweet sorrow, rather
than the other kind.
For the past ten years-a decade,
by the way, of great property
Ward and Vokes have been under the
management of Il. d. Stair in a series
of musical farce comedies on the or
der of "The Floor Walkers" and "A
Pair of Pinks" During this period
they have chung steadfastly to their
familiar tramp Characterization of
Percy and Harold, and-let it be
whispered--to some of their famil-
lar jokes.
Hap Ward will continue under
Mr.. Stairs management after the
dissolution. Mr.. Stair intends here
after to present his star in play
worthy of the first-class theaters NOT
only on the road, but in New York.
In consequence Ward may be seen
next as a type running more to sar-
torial elegance and little less to
whskers.
The future of Lucy DAILY (Mrs.
Ward has not been determined. She
may remain in her husbands com
pany or she may appear in a dis
tinct organization on her own account
Miss Days sister, Margaret DAILY
Vokes, has an ambition to star in
play or rural type, but that also Is
a matter for further deliberation.
Vokes will stick 10 the old line of
work, probably forming an alliance
with Will H. West, who IS about
Wards physical counterpart, and who
has been identified with the Ward
and Vokea plays for several sea
sons.
AS a proof of the cordially OF rela-
tons existing in the Ward and Vokes
family quartette, the stars, their
wives and the remainder of the COM
pany left Baltimore by special train
after last nights performance, for
Richmond, Wasd's home, where the
anniversary of the latter's marriage
to Lucy Daily is to be celebrated in
Joyous fashion. This is an annual
custom so inviolable that the Ward
and Vokes route always brings them
TO either washington or Baltimore
the week of January go From the
members of the company each OF the
stars will receive a handsome silver
loving cup in commemoration of their
twenty years partnership.

Mayor Gaffney writes:
Rev. ]. NJ Steadman:
Dear Sir-In reply to yours regarding
the effect that the removal Of the dispen-
saries from this place and the county has
had on the community would beg leave
to say that the result has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations OF tho advo-
Gates of the measure.
Drunkenness has decreased 80 per cent
and disorderly conduct 76 per cent, az
proved by the records in the mayors
court
The blind tigers have never thriven, be-
ing easily suppressed by the vigilance OF
the police. and we have very little trouble
on that account. Tho people generally are
in sympathy with the measure, and con
sequently we have their assistance in car
rying out the law. I wish that the people
oil over the state could see the good ef
fects produced. Very truly,
