TITLES IN GEORGIA

A NUMBER of Congressman were one day
"A joking with a colleague from Kentucky
with respect to the well-known penchant of
men of that State for courtesy" titles.
Why" said one of the Representatives,
it's notorious fact that every man in Ken
lucky is Colonel or a Major
The Kentuckian smiled. Were not the
only Southeruers guilty of that weakness"
said he. Joel Chandler Harris once observed
to me that in Georgia it was nearly as bad.
He had a theory to the effect that the colored
population were in a measure responsible.
"How's that" asked some one
oh" continued the Bluegrass man,
Harris said that when a negro had once
dubbed one with courtesy title, the habit
soon became general in the community
Give Georgia negro "chaw" of tobacco,
he added, and you're straightway "Cap'n";
hand him a quarter and you find yourself a
Colonel; present him dollar and you're
General" for life; but just throw in an old
suit of clothes and couple of drains of corn
liquor and the result will be that he'll raise
his children to address you as Governor. "''

tering gown for the scene on the Casino
Terraces, were the slim distinction and
tinuity, Reeve had been dreaming ever
since the night at Hoen Manor.
She looked at him for a moment, her
hands arrested in drawing on her long
gloves, her eyes filled with a most becom-
ing wonder. You? But your" said
Miss Penelope Elm; and suddenly she
laughed, and the laugh was mellow,
wandering, genuine and perturbingly
merry. And as sometimes happens to
the most worldly when the sun comes
out in glorious unexpectedness, Reeve
could say no more.
"You'" he uttered to the blur of lights
and roses, slim distinction and sunny hair.
1t was a wonderful moment-a mo-
ment such as man might live for life
time and never mount to.
She came forward swiftly-Reeve al

suddenly was as miserable as a man can
be when he is perfectly happy. =" How
you must have laughed at mel" he said,
almost in awe at his own stupidity.
Family, from turmoil of preparatory
caressing of strings, the orchestra began
the overture, and almost at once there
stole up to them delicious haunting
thing, like an aria to a fairy opera, with
little trills and trippings that might have
been fairy speech. And Reeve, who
knew no music, miraculously reme1n-
bered it, and knew that not only had
Caldwell dinned it in his ears in Puy-de-
Dome but that this was the motif of that
magic night on the Hoen veranda. She
had actually sung him snatch of his own
opera that night, and he had not known!
She stood for moment when she was
ready to go on, her glittering gown
shimmering in the dim passage. Wish

VAUDEVILLE.


 The bill at the Jacques this week is typical vaudeville program con- taining all the phases of amusement which have made the variety so popular. The headline attraction is a merry melange of nonsense called The Boy Next Door," which is pre- sented by George Felix and Lydia Barry, who are great favorites here and whose work this week will tend to make them even more popular than ever before. "The Benedic- tion" with Frank owen and his con- pany is making one of the biggest successes of any one act comedy ever seen at the house. One of the req sons why the piece is taking so well is the fact that it is interpreted with skill and discretion by Mir Owens support, Minnie Hoffman, Henry Duggan and Joseph Stanhope.. The Joselyn Trio of aerial wonders is an- other combination that has made tremendous sensation this week and there has never been more grace fully executed acrobatic turn pre- sented to Waterbury variety patrons than this beautiful number. It alone is more than worth the price of ad- mission. The Three Roses. the Three Cartwells. Hayman and Franklin, and the Golden Gate Quintet complete a play card that Is uniquely attractive. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Nurseries for the Navy.

Admiral Dewey's recent statement that the middle west furnishes most of the enlisted men of the navy is corroborated by the dispatch from Washington giving the navy depart ment's latest tabulation. Of the present total enlisted force of 3o.- S04 one-fifth is provided by the states of Illinois, Minnesota Michigan. Iowa, Missouri. Wisconsin and Ne braska. Pennsylvania makes a good showing with 2,745 enlisted men. hold ing third place in the union. New York being first with 5.54s and Mas sachusetts second with l,5l2. It is a curious fact that those who have been brought up to the sea as a profes- sion do not always make the best man-of-war's men. Those dwelling farthest from the sea are often the most eager for a life on the ocean wave.
