 quaintance and Illiee liee"'17-esls:-teti 7esls:--t.e tion as pharmacist. Both Messrs. Hudson and Jacocks are regis tered pharmacists, and all pre- scriptions will have their careful attention. The new firm, we feel sure, will enjoy their part of the business of our growing city and it's fine tributary territory.

IN SOCIETY,".
BATESVILLE CELEBRATION.

MT. and Mrs. C. D. Metcalf celebrated their first (cotton) wedding anniversary last Satur- day night. They entertained only those who had taken part in their wedding just one year ago. The bride was Nattired in her wedding gown and the young ladies, too, wore the same gowns they wore as bridesmaids.
 The color scheme was pink and white throughout. The hall, par Tor and sitting room were one maze of pink and white cotton tW'ine. Each guest was given a card and told to wind the twine until the end was reached. Miss Maude Mccormack and Mir. Car ter Fitzhugh succeeded in wind ing theirs first, thereby winning first prizes Miss Mccormack re- ceiving a dainty white apron and MT. Fitzhugh a pair of beautiful dotted half-hose. And as booby prizes Miss Duffey was awarded a blue checked apron and MT. Arnold a red bandanna.
 Next came the baby contest. Each guest had been asked to bring a picture of themselves ta- ken in infancy; the pictures hav- ing been taken some time ago, gave no clew to their identity. The pictures were numbered and every one tried to guess who they were. In this contest Miss Stella Handford won a pretty little pincushion.
 At late hour an elaborate supper was served. Each guest received as souvenir of this de- lightful occasion, a card, bearing the two dates, 1904 and 1905, with a cotton boil attached by a pink and white cotton bow. = Batesville Guard.

I'VE Arc King" Chosen From Many
Manuscript
Out of over eighty plays submitted
without hesitancy, Lieutenant Gordon
Kean's comedy I'VE Are King"
Il selected Lieut.. Kean's play upon
its first reading" said Mr.. Whiteside.
In recent interview, because it APP
pealed to me strongly as a fine play.
Its plot Is of absorbing interest, worked
out with unusual cleverness. The dfa-
logue Is brilliant; the dramatic situa-
lions of great strength and the comedy
scenes delightful The play caught the
popular fancy upon it's first production.
The characters which it's author has
drawn are all strong; in fact there is
not boresome nor unnecessary role
in the piece. Out of the eighty plays
which I have read in the past year and
a half. only two besides We Are King
impressed me rs being worthy of pro-
duction. One is King kohenette' b.
a young western author, as yet un
known and the other is 'Herod the
Great by Emanuel Baruch. Both Of
these plays I hope to bring out in the
future. if they do not slip through my
hands in the meantime.

appear in the play he must first take
into consideration his own fitness for
the role intended for him. Then he
must throw self aside and look upon
the play in its entirety. Certain sue

be just right for his audiences. Char

The wives and sisters of the strik-
ing printers In Chicago think that they
have discovered G. ~way~to4 circumvent
the injunction which restraints their
husbands, members of Typographical
Union No. 16, from activity in the
present strike for the closed shop.
The women volunteer their services
and as a preliminary step propose to
make a canvass of all the wards in the
city to enlist support for the strike
cause. Merchants will be visited by
the committee Of women and asked to
support the closed" shop movement.
Those who refuse to comply will be
"boycotted," and all unionists who pat
ronize their stores will be penalized
with a fine. The women will work in
conjunction with the various ward
trade union clubs, (which are being or
ganized," throughout the. city; to ad-
vance the sale of goods bearing the
union label. These clubs already have
been formed in the Twenty-f1rst and

sixteen mile race in an automobile with
a passenger train, DR.. J. s. Latta. of
Kenesaw, defeated what apparently
was an attempt to kidnap the Agar
old son Of George Coffey.
A few moments after the eastbound
passenger train pulled out of Kenesaw
Christmas afternoon, DR.. Latta climbed
into a touring car and started in pur-
suit. The race was about even to the
first station. the train moving off just
before the auto arrived. At Hastings,
however, the train was overtaken and
the child recovered.
The race was the result Of wom-
ans appeal. The boy had been carried
away by Enoch Coffey, of Junction
City, Kas.,' his uncle. Mrs. George
Coffey asked Latta to overtake the two
and he started as they were leaving.
Enoch Coffey insisted that he mere
~ meant to take the child down the
road a short distance and return with
him on later train.

is very plain that a fight is being made

will follow. Mir. McEwen's work for

result that the charter was replevined.
