Ehie Ellser, In Hazel Kirke, was
the bin last night at the Pensacola
theatre
If the play had not been one that
nearly every school boy knows BY
heart there would have been no way
of telling what was being played, as
there We're no programmes given ont.
OF course. the newspapers and the
billbOards had advertised the attrac-
ton as Hazel Kirke and those who
had never seen the piece before took
it for granted that it Nwas Hazel
Kirke."
Many, many years ago, Hazel
Kirle' was considered a great play
and it was really made famous by
Efie Ellser but the play has been
produced 50 many times all over the
country by 10, 20 and 80 cent COM
panies. that it would necessitate a
better company than last nights to
make it interesting even to the most
gullible person on earth.
A large portion of the very few who
were present doubted very seriously
that it was really Efie Ellser who
played the leading part in the veneer
able play and it, indeed, it was, E,fie
Ellser should retire from theatrical
life before she ruins forever tine ex-
cellent reputation which she has gain
ed in former years for last nights per
Torrance would not have done jus
tice to an ordinary popular priced
production, Notwithstanding the fact
that fancy prices were charged at the
box office.
The audience was small. very
small, and the few who Witnessed the
play were cold. and unappreciative.
No announcement has yet been
made as to the date of the next at
traction, but it hoped by the regular
patrons. that at least a programme
will be furnished at the next perform
ance.

THE MUssULMAN.

His Devotion Is Intense and Re II
Proud of His Religion.
A traveller in Africa writes: "This is
a land OF religion. The Mussulman's
devotion is intense, ever present and
all pervading, being not an accessory
tackled on, as it were, to his life to be
practiced more or less surreptitiously,
but an essential part, wherewith and
wherein he lives at all times. A Mus
sulman prays openly and publicly, in
nOwise afraid to be seen. Every man
wears his string of beads wherein he
records the number Of bis daily pray
ers. Notwithstanding its, to us, un-
inviting appearance, the religion has
made and still is making great strides
in Africa, and one can only attribute
this to the fact that here at last is a
religion of which its adherents are in
no way ashamed. 1t offers to the
faithful absolute assurance Of saliva
ton and engenders that blind, unhesi-
tating faith therein which is so com
forting to the native mind
Seeing a crowd Of pilgrims bound for
Mecca patiently may, with pleasure
enduring the worst treatment that one
could imagine melted out to herds of
driven slaves, one envies the excess
Of faith that can engender such dis
position. Though robbed, slain, starv-
ed, herded with pestilence and sub
jected to countless hardships and an
noyances, vet year after year they
come from far and near thousands and
tens Of thousands strong on this the
most wonderful and far reaching Of lat
ter day pilgrimages
"At Jedda one sees pilgrims from
all corners Of the glObe-Dutch sub
jects from Java, Chinese from Picking.
shiplOads from India and Farther In
dia, Russian subjects from an parts
Of the great empire, French subjects
from Algiers, from Morocco. and du3ky
negroes who have tramped for months
from the western shores Of Africa.
Through many lands and midst many
tongues they come, all to meet at this
thronged ceuter Of the maelstrom Of
the Mussulman faith"

The sage palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit. It's load Of nuts is its
first and final effort in the way Of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and
are strewn in thousands around the
tree until the great stem stands up by
itself, empty and bare. The branches
turn brown and drop one by one to the
ground. Inside the trunk the work of
decay Is going on until what at one
time was a mass Of white sage and
pith becomes nothing but a collection
Of rotten brown fbers One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual. and the leahess column Of the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
its fan many Of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

them, and when the emperor refused

books into the fire and still asked the

peror again refused, and she thereupon
threw three more into the fire and still
asked the same price for the three re-
