 "The sound aroused the owner of the manor The country was overrun at the time with stragglers, some of whom had not hesitated to commit burglary.
 "The father of the returning boy arose. He stood in his doorway with his shot gun and challenged the approaching stranger. as he supposed.
 "The young man being deaf made no reply, but continued on his way. The man in the doorway raised his gun and fired. The stranger fell dead.
 "The father summoned his family and the few remaining servants of the plan tation. An investigation was held and the tragic truth was revealed.
 ''The father, of course, was inconsolable. He returned to his house while the ser wants carried the lifeess form of his boy to the home that had been awaiting his coming.
 "The next day the invited guests began to arrive. The father had given orders that the tragedy should not be mentioned until he himself told it.
 "I do not recall what explanation was made to the guests as to the absence of him whom they were to honor. But after the repast they were told, and then they filed past the dead.
 "The body was wrapped in the flag for which the brave young man had fought. The community was used to funerals. Every private burial ground had a gave made by the unhappy war.

"The Royal chef.n

December IA, by both critic and play-goer of other cities, be true, Dlr- mingham is assured a theatrical treat Among other things, the Evening States man of Walla Walla, Wash, says:
 With a swing and dash, with gingery features working every minute-and on overtime, for that matter-the splendid production of The Royal Chef captivated one of the largest houses ever played to In Walla Walla at the Keylor Grand last night. And the piece is undoubtedly the biggest hit of the season in every respect.
 'There is no question of the hit made by Hanks, Frazer and Wade with their large and charming production. The ap- preciation of the great audience was nois- fly and convincingly expressed during the progress of the play and after the sensa- tional, pretty closing scene, which was en- cored repeatedly the audience refusing to leave their seats until the tired curtain man damned the big screen down and ap- parently nailed it to the stage Even then some of the more enthusiastic paraded to the doors, still appauding.

From the New York Sun.
 "The saddest war story that ever oc- cured has never been fully told so far as I know" said man who followed Lee to the surrender at Appomattox. q believe that Mrs. Chestnut in her Diary from Dixie made brief mention of the in- cident.
 q had forgotten it until read the book. Then it came back to me as I heard it from one who was at the funeral. The man who told it died twenty years ago.
 "The soldier had enlisted in Georgia from his home, where his father re- mained undsturbed during the struggle. The young man had fought through the war without a scratch save a slight wound which had left him slightly deaf. This affliction he had never referred to in any of his letters.
 After the surrender he communicated with his father, saying he would reach home on or about a certain date. Travel then was uncertain and he was not posi- tive as to when he would arrive.
 His father prepared to receive him. Believing that his son would come as promised. he arranged a spread such as the conditions of his surroundings at that time would permit. He had brought out his best plate that had been secreted for a long time, and with gold which had been exhumed he bought such delicacies and subs. initials as the southern market at that time afforded.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PACED nary in the way of a comedy opera, as 1t
 is called. The lyrics were written by Mrs Tyler, while the music is by Frederick Coit-Wright. The opera will be produced by the Viola Gillette Opera company. and the promise Is made that the production will be both lavish in its scenic environ ment and appropriate in the way of cos tuning. No less than four love stories arc interwoven into the plot, which is. after all, not so serious that it cannot be fol- lowed, nor so light as to make it trivial. The opera was put on at the Stuaepaker theatre in Chicago for two-weeks' run. the company opening there without any preliminary flourish of trumpets. and made an instantaneous hit; and when the hrst two weeks or the engagement were aoout concluded. the run was extended TWO weeks more. and then from week to week until ten weeks run was accom- plished. Big business has been the rule. for the simple reason that the opera ap- peals to every class of theatre-goer. The pook is interesting, the story agreeable. and the music of that varied order tha. includes everything the theatre-goer likes to hear. Some of the music, it is said is worthy of grand opera There is a sex tette that is better than many numbers to be found in grand opera. There are also number of melodous and sympa- thetic ballads. with a fair sprinkhng of ragtime songs, so that there is a pleas ing variety

"oId Isaacs From the Bowery."

The new Hebrew comedy drama, by Charles E Blaney. entitled "Old Isaacs from the Bowery.' which will be seen at the Bijou this week, has it's scenes laid in New York. The action of the play deals with the life of an old installment man, who was noted for his wit and generos- ity and interest for his fellow beings.
 The new play will also introduce new star in the person of Harry First, who gained considerable fame in the part of Father Abraham in "The Child Slaves of New York" Being of Hebrew extraction, he is fully qualified to do justice to the character of Old Isaacs, an old instail- ment man on the Bowery.

 ''Old Isaacs from the Bowery, with Harry First, the young Hebrew comedian, and a strong cast, will begin weeks engagement at the Bijou tomorrow night. This brilliant comedy drama by charles E.

produced at the Bijou this season, both in theme and stage appointments. "Old 1saacs,'' as the name suggests. is a He- brew play; but not the kind that is med with stap stick comedy" which has been so distasteful to the Jewish race. "Old Isaacs' reveals pathos, with clever dram attic effects interwoven with some high comedy.
 The scope of the play deals with the life of Old Isaacs, an installment man on the Bowery during the civil war days, noted for his many kind deeds, who ascends from poverty to riches and is then ruined by his own stepdaughter All the details are brought out in strong dramatic situa- tions.
 The play is in four acts, representing the many sides of New York life. an will be staged in MT. Blaney's usual lavish manner.

Prof Rolls calls attention to the
editorial statement in the paper of
October 10th that, The fungus attacks
the pupae as also does the snail. The
last half Of the sentence is an error,

is carniverous, whereas it is a strict

paper is so carefully read, but hope that
an occasional error, will not result in
any real damage to the agricultural in
