BIG TIME AT COLUMBUS.
Many Crangeville People At
tend Entertainment.

One of the most enjoyable times
in the history of that hospitable
neighborhood occurred at the old
Columbus school house out north
of the city Friday night. An ex-
cellent program had been prepared
in which a number of the talented
residents Of the section took part.
Three short farces were presented
during the evening, an amateur
theatrical troupe having been
organized there. The members had
been rehearsing on the plays for
some time and presented a thor
oughly up to date performance, far
above the average country school
entertainments. Such laughable
pieces as "The Trained Nurse"

ment of his death. The doctor
was great student and had a won
derful memory, and during the
closing days of his career he quoted
a great deal of poetry in my pres
ence. The following from an
author have forgotten, which l
give at best l remember, leads me
to believe he realized his days were
numbered:
IF should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid It in its resting place
And deem that death had left 1t almost fair;
And laying snow-white flowers against my hair
Would smooth 1t down with fearful care.
Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight:
Ny friends would call to mind with loving
ing thought
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said,
Errands on which the willing .eet had sped.
The memory of my selfshness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be pushed aside:
And SO | should be loved and mourned tonight.
Even hearts estranged would turn once more to
me,
Recalling other days remorsefully;
Eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as of yore, perchsnee,
And soften In the old familar,way,
For who could war with cold unconscious clay:
So might rest forgiven of all tonight
Friends, pray tonight, keep not your kisses for
my dead cold brow

were II hands high and weighed
1900 pounds, and the price is con-

conclusively that it pays to raise

Henry James IS Here

Returns to His Native
Land in Search of
Pleasure.

Henry James, the well-known author,
who. although an American by birth,
has found the more conventional en-
vironments OF English society more
conducive to his personal comforts and
has consequently made his residence in
London for nearly thirty years, arrived
here yesterday and is staying at the
St Dunstsn.
James is making a tour of the United
States, where, in the early 70s, he was
wont 10 contribute interesting literature
TO the popular magazines He has been
spending several weeks in Southern
California and has come north simply
in the pursuit Of pleasure.
Among Western people, whom he has
often portrayed with his pen in a man
ner that would readily suggest his
familiarity with their peculiar customs
and manners, James is well remem-
bered as the author of the Trans
Atlantic Sketches" The Americans
and The Europeans products of his
fertile mind that were developed after
he had gone abroad. In later years he
has given the reading public many in
teresting stories, among his latest being
The Awkward Age" "A Little Tour
of France" and The Sacred Font"
Since his arrival in this country Mr.
James has avoided interviewers as far
as IL was within the range Of possibil-
ity. but on several occasions he has run
foul of~the newspaper reporters and in
sdvertently volunteered criticism Of
Americans. including President Roose-
velt, that have not been pleasing read

suggested yesterday, when, shortly
after his arrival from the south, he gave
strict orders to the management of the
St. Dunstan that he was not to be dis
turbed by newspaper representatives.,
and the clerk of that exclusive estab-
