Had to Judge by the Smell.

Near Nineland, n. j., there lived a
German farmer who brewed his own
beer, the superiority of which he was
continually proclaiming, tho no other
person ever enjoyed an opportunity of
testing its merits, according to a writer
in Lippincotts.
A young neighbor made a wager that
he could trick the farmer into giving
him taste of the much Wanted drink.
The youth visited the German one
Sunday afternoon and the conversation
was deftly steered around to home

The young man boosted that his ia

The farmer at once vehemently or
dered up a mug of his own favorite
brew. When it appeared, the German

pressing his stomach. drank every drop
without taking breath. Then holding
the empty mug to the disappointed
youth fellow he said gravely:
You say your Fader's beer iss so bet

status of the textile industry in states
traversed by the Southern. In January

Spindles, an increase over the previous
year of 3.793 looms and 326,566 spin

Mr.. Perkins today proposed another
compromise-tnat Governor Cummins

governor to retire from the field after

1t is hard to understand why Mr..
Perkins should make himself in this
way, appear absurd The delegates
that Mr. Perkins asks Mr.. Cummins
to absolve from their pledges are not
only for Cummins. but they are for
what Cummins stands for and back of
them are the republican constituencies

painted sirens. A change, however, is
coming. 1t may not be this year. or
next, or even the year following. But
1t Is coming, and like the thief in the
night, VIII take us unawares. During
the past year there have been no mu-
steal comedy productions worthy of
serious consideration. What has been
done along musical lines has been in
the more elevating sphere of operatic
effort. Better still, however, is the
awakening among American play.
writer's. Time was-and still is, for
that matter-when the foreign trade
mark on drama hid its mediocrity
from the American eye. Native effort
suffered because of this national
weakness. The American playwriter
was either forced into oblivion at
home or compelled to peddle his wares
abroad In either case he was forced
TO wage an uneven battle.
During this year of grace-call il an
epoch, If you please-the American
author has been recognized as never
before. Nor has it been at the ex-
pense of his foreign rival. The
works of Pinero, Barrie, Sudermann
and lbsen have all held the boards of
the metropolitan theatres. Indeed,
worthy drama from across the seas
Will ever find favor in America. The
point, however, is not here, but else
where. When | say there is an
awakening among our native writer's.

(By Harry lie Grande.)

Standing upon the bridge of 1906,
and watching the theatric stream of
the year glide swiftly into the seas of
yesterday, inspired strange feelings
Perhaps the most regrettable thing of
the past year has been the almost alb
solute retirement of the classic drama
This is all the more sad because the
year before there was such a brave
effort in behalf of the classic drama as
to inspire the belief of it's future en-
largement and permanency. Alas and
alack! The past year, instead of re-
alizing fond hopes, has witnessed the
almost total extinction of the higher
drama. Here and there there is still
a brave effort to keep alive the sacred
flame. The hands of e. II. Sothern,
Julia Marlowe and Forbes Robertson
Others, also, more enthusiastic than
gifted-are carrying the classic torch
and struggling with the ever-growing
darkness. After the classic drama be-
comes hopelessly obsolete-which all
fear and few deny-theatre-g may

office. Let Mr.. Shakespeare come to

pear in opposition theatres, and which

shown in the box offices of every the.

with lance in rest and plumed helmet,
is fighting and winning the trophies
of the tournament. Barrie will have
to look to his Scotch thistles, Shaw
to his Irish shamrocks-th hand OF
the American is reaching for them.
One of the surprising, or, rather
gratifying, incidents of recent Ameri
can authorship is the Western spirit
that breathes in their productions
Take, for instance, the three most
successful plays on Broadway during
the year-they all treat of the West.
The Girl of the Golden West" THE
Squaw Man." "The Redskin," have
their foundation in the sunset country.
Perhaps the reason for their success
was because they made a wide de-
parture from the conventional society
lrama, with its atmosphere of lassi-
tude and boredom. Their very con-
trast was charming. The hungry
