Checkers with Thomas w. Ross
and a company OF $50 people. continues
to draw big audiences at the Metropoli-
tan opera house. The play is divided
into four acts. The first shows the ro-
tunda OF the Arlington hotel at Hot
Springs, where Checkers falls in love
with Pert Barlow. daughter of the
croesus OF Gainesville. Ark, whom he
met there for the first time. The sec
ond shows the village square Of
Gainesville, and here Pert changes her
opinion of Checkers, which was at first
unfavorable and sweetly reveals that
his sentiment for her is reciprocated.
Her straightlaced father. however.
not fancying a sporty youth for his
daughters husband, declares that Pert
must receive no further attentions from
Checkers until he has shown his worth
by bringing 81, 900 for the inspection of
the parental eye.
Checkers departs in search OF the
sum, after promising Pert to leave the
racetrack alone. AS a keepsake and
mascot Pert gives Checkers an old CAL
ifornia $50 gold piece. The third act
shows the betting ring on Derby day
at the Washington Park club in Chi
cago.
The fourth act discloses Pert's father
still reluctant to have his daughter re-
ceive the advances of Checkers. But

Long Contest.

st. Paul.-The strike of the tele-

TENS has settled into what promises to
be a long-drawn out contest between

who claim to have the power to tie up

railroads. At strike headquarters
kilograms were arriving from every

graph operator to man had gone out
and that complete tie-up was affect

Important Opinion.

Assistant Attorney-General Flowers
has rendered a very important opln-
ion to the board Of supervisors OF Gre
NADIA county relative to the division
of responsibility between counties and
municipalities for the burial OF pau
pers. This is subject about whlcn
disputes are almost continuous in Mis-
sisippi, and the opinion from the at
torney-general's office will have the
effect of settling these controversies,
for it is general in its application. In
stances are frequently reported where
the corpses of paupers have been al
lowed to remain unburied for several
days while county and municipal
boards disputed as to which body
should defray the expenses of inter-
ment. Mr.. Flowers points out at much
length the circumstances under which
the county is the responsible party,
and also shows circumstances under
which the municipality in which the
death occurred must bear the expense.
He also cites instances where a coun-
ty to pay expense of pauper burial,
should the pauper be a rent resident
of the county. The opinion will serve
as valuable guide for county and
municipal boards in future disputes
of this character.

An AlrshIp Prediction.

A Kansas City man. now 80 years
old. was discussing railroads with a
friend the other night, II remember"
he said. when railroads used planks
with strips on iron nailed on them for
rails. The first road Of the kind
ever saw was back in Ohio about %
wears ago. The wood rails used to
warp after the cars had run over them
awhile and for that reason people pre-
dicted freely that the railroad would
never amount to much. remember
certain optimist, however, who pre-
dicted that the railroad would be
grand success eventually. People
laughed at him. but he stuck to his be-
lief. Friends. l remember hearing
him say once, some day they'll find a
rail that won't warp. and then rail-
road trains will make as much as ten
miles an hour easily My! how they
roared. Now | want to make pre-
diction that will be laughed at. Tsay
that in 20 years airships will be n.y.
ing all over the civilized world carry
ing passengers and freight. Laugh at
that prediction if you will. probably
won't live to see those airships, but
the prediction will come true. Mark
my words. kansas City Journal

Ex-Gov. Longino Hero.

Two small boys were saved from
drowning in Pearl river by Ex-Gover-
nor A. III. Longino, who doffed his
clothing and plunged into the water
just in time to prevent one of the lads
from sinking in a treacherous eddy.
Gov. Longino had accompanied a par
ty Of Youngsters from the western
part of the city to the river, among
them being two of his sons. The boys
were frolicking about i'll a shallow
part of the stream when lad named
Green, whose mother resides in Hook
er avenue, went over "step-off' and
plunged beneath the surface. The boy
was unable to swim, and his cry OF
despair as he went down attracted the
attention of Governor Longfno, who
quickly pulled off coat and shoes, and
soon brought him to the bank in safe
ty. Another boy also went over the
+" step-off" and was about to sink, but
he was able to swim little, and with
assistance from Governor Longino,
reached the bank in safety. On ac-
count of the numerous sandbars and
suck-holes, Pearl river is one OF the
most dangerous streams in the coun-
try, and a summer rarely passes that
one or more Jackson boys are not
drowned in its waters.

Necessary Mainstays to Country.
A fortress spells immobility and dis
persion. We should, therefore, look
askance at it until proof Is given that
1t has a definite purpose to fulfil IN a
reasoned scheme of strategy. We must
not allow ourselves to be led away by
the glamor surrounding heroic de-
tense. We must look to the end and
leave panergyrics to poets. We must,
In short, regard all Notifications as an
auxiliary and nothing more. A for
tress, because 1t is fortress and be-
cause it is ours, is not necessarily an
advantage, and may be the reverse II
we gain battles we gain the enemys
fortresses; If we lose them he gains
ours, whether they are in the interior
or upon the sea. In each case the
larger the garrison the greater the dis
aster. Fortresses, and, in fact, all for
tifications, have never played anything
but a secondary role in the defense
of states. and no nation has ever yet
been saved by them. They can, as aux
iliaries occasionally assist an army
and they can aid naval capital, wisely
invested and wisely used, to bear
splendid interest. but they can never
re-establish moral superiority when
once 1t Is lost nor create it by virtue
attaching to Its parapets If 1t does not
exist. Over the portals of the fortress
or harbor of refuge should be written

ters the words that Dante discovered
