Irving Bachelors story.

Some years ago, Irving Bachelor gave
to the reading world a quaint romance
Of old York State life, and Mr.. Edward
il. Rose seeing the splendid dramatic
possibilities in the story, presented the
stage with decentralization Of the book,
y'Eben Holden, which has not only met
with wonderful success, but is very re.
freshing in its quaintness Of character
drawing and the dialogue at times bub-
bles with wisdom and sparkles with wit,
introducing types Of country folk Of
that portion Of New York State nearest
New England.
The scene of the first act is laid in
the barn of David Brewer, and truer
picture has never been presented on
the American stage showing the inter
ior of an old barn Of that period. The
second act is at Deep Holeh shady
pool in Sinkle Brook, the home Of the
wary. trout, "The Old Settler" This
scene OF rustic simplicity is one Of the
most beautiful Of all stage pictures, and
in this act Is introduced (Nick), the
quaint old fiddler, whose only means Of
speech is his violin.
The final act shows the kitchen of
David Brewers home, with its old.
fashioned fire. place and its homely sur
roundings. The production Is an Am
erican one out and out ard has all the
llavor Of sentiment, pathos and drollery
that 20 70 make successful play.
Mr. Henry Horton who plays dear old
Uncle Eb, is a character actor of great
ability. He is supported by Miss Louise
Hardenburg, a clever young leading lady,
as Hope Brewer. The other characters
are Tip Taylor with hair-lip, man
Of all work on the farm, whose chief
ambition in life is TO get on the village
choir; Deacon Hospur, also Sheriff, who
has never arrested q man, but would
like to try to see how it seems; Bill
Brewer, Hopes sweetheart, Ransom Wal
ker, Orville Baker, Elkenah Sampson,
David Brewer, Rob't. Livingston (the
city chap), Mrs. Brewer; Mrs. Fuller,
Laura Tonyhurst and the village choir.

Same. He had carried q drunken
Indian on his back for miles. and
from a certain death by frost. He
had, for want of more convenient
punishment, promptly knocked down
JEFF Hyde, the sometime bully of tie
Fort, for appropriating bundle pf
furs belonging to a French hat
breed, Gaspe Toujours. But he
nursed jeff Hyde through an attack
of pneumonia, insisting at the same
time that Gaspe Toujours should
help him. The result of it all was
that Jeff Hyde and Gaspe Toujours
became constant allies. They both
formulated their oaths by Jaspar
Hume. The Indian, Cloud-in-the
Sky, though by word never thanking
his rescuer, could not be induced to
leave the Fort, except on some mis-
sion with which Jaspar Hume was
connected. He preferred living an
undignifed, an un-lndian life, and
earning his food and shelter by
coarsely laboring with his hands
He came at least twice week to
Jasper Hume's log house, and, sit
ting down silent and cross-legged
before the fire, watched the Sub.
factor working. at his drawings and
calculations. Sitting so for perhaps
an hour or more, and smoking ali the
time, he would rise, and with a gt'unt
which was answered by a kindly nod,
would pass out as silently as he came.
And now as Jasper Hume stood
looking at his idea" Cloud'ln-the.
Sky entered, let bis blanket fail by
the hearthstone and sat down upon
It. II Jasper Hume saw him or
heard him, he at least gave no sign

he read it to the end without sign.
A pause, and he said: so this is
lhow the lines meet again, VarTe
}Lepage!" He read the last SEN
tence of the letter aloud;
I'm the hope that you may soon give
me good news of my husband, am, with
all respect, Sincerely yours,
ROSE LEPAGE."
Again he repeated, with all re-
spect, sincerely yours, Rose Lepage."
The dog Jacques looked up. Per
haps it detected something unusual
in the voice. 1t rose, came over,
knee. Jasper 'Humes hand fell
gently on the head. and he said to
the fire, Rose Lepage, you can
write to Factor Field what you dare
not write to your husband if you
knew! You might say to him then;
With all love- but not With all re-
spect,' lf Aa
He folded the letter and put 1t in
his pocket Then he took the dogs
head between his hands and said:
Listen, Jacques, and will tell you
story" The dog blinked, and
pushed its nose against its masters

and stern as he read it. Once he

into the fire, drawing his breath

MANY Varieties Of ono Tree.

A tree bearing go distinct varieties
of fruits and nuts is growing on the

river from Albany, Ore, says the
American Fruit and Nut Journal. 1t

undertook to grow the tree as an ex-
pertinent, and by judicious grating
has succeeded in producing marvel.
He secured all the kinds of peaches,
plums and prunes that he could and
grated them onto the trunk of a
healthy growing apple tree. All the
gratis are growing and bearing. Then,
as further experiment, he grated
an almond branch on the same tree,
and it also Is growing.

grunted; the other nodded with the
debating look again dominant in his
eyes. The Indian met the look with
stole calm. There was something
in Jasper Hume's habitual reticence
and decisiveness in action which APP
pealed more to Cloud-in-the-S Sky than
any freedom of speech could possibly
have done.

then turned to Cloud-in-the-Sky, and
said, 'Cloud-in-the-Sky l want you to

Cloud-in-the-Sky shook his head
thoughtfully, and then after a pause
said, "Strong-back go too?" (Strong-
back was his name for Jaspar Hume).
But the other either did nor or would
not hear. The Indian, however, ap-
peared satisfied, for he smoked harder
afterward, and grunted to himself
many times. A few moments passed,

been called "The Late Mr.. Carscal-

his slowness. Slow as he was, however,

PUT DOWN "goolcArloN" IDEA
Farmers's Plea Had Weight Among
Brother AeriouIturists.

In the early forties, on a certain
town meetin' day" in one of the small
farming communities of the Granite
state, there was more than the usual
interest and excitement. Some auda-
cious Philistine had secured the inser-
ton in the warrant of an article ITO
see IL the town will appropriate $500
for new schoolhouse."
The sturdy yeomanry were out in
force to fight down this proposition.
The sympathetic moderator didn't
moderate" them worth cent. The
so-called "toney" advocates, conscious
from the start of their numerical
weakness, were concillatory and per-
suasive, in the hope of thus winning
to their standard sufficient of the OPP
position to carry the day. These hopes
were dashed, however, when vet
eran farmer, the Nestor of the guild,
got the floor, and shouted in foghorn
tones:
what do you want of skulehouses,
anyway? This eddication talk is rails
in the old Harry with the boys on the
farm!, There's that Danny Web
ster-'s likely young man s ever

In spite of the munihcent dona-
tions to distressed San Francisco,
the reports are that the relief is
not sufficient and the Colorado
Committee are now treasuring
their funds to give relief to Colo
radoans who are destitute. 1t is
very doubtful if the half Of the
misery is as yet told. Every ref
ugee coming from the stricken
city but augments the tale Of woe.
One clear thing is that the author
tiles are dwarhng both the death
list and the story of suffering in
hope that the disasterous effects
of the calamity shall be as light
as possible on the future city.

MUCH has been said and written
of late about President Roosevelt's
inclination to get next the DEM
ocrats and democratic doctrines,
and if his Muck Rake" speech
has been correctly reported there
is a good deal in it. The gist of
his remarks were that the people
ought to control the vast fortunes
of the country to prevent those
vast fortunes controlling them.
The democratic party of the ma
ton has stood and still stands for
the income tax and the inheri
tance tax also. and the Presidents
homely metaphor shows plain
enough where he stands, enunciat-
ing as it does what few years ago
was termed a radical democratic
doctrine. If Senator Tillman and
the President do not keep good
look out they will come perilously

BoTH the Booster and Gazette
affect to believe that our sugges-
ton of Chas. Oliver for the re
publican candidate for the legis-
lature was made in malice. The
Gazette sees a selfish motive, a
desire to contest the question
personally, the Booster thinks it
is a move to kill him off in ad-
vance OF the convention. As to
the latter contention we will say
that we only discussed a man
brought forward by the Gazette
some time ago, and if an an
nouncement of him as a candi-
date has injured his chances, and
it may have done SO, the esteemed
Gazette, that always talks but
never votes, is to blame for the
evil inflicted. The Gazette an
nounced this editor as candi-
date some time since and we ex-
planned that they spoke without
authority. 1t does not seem
necessary to again contradict the
Gazette. The editor of that sheet
may be an authority on edibles
and religion, but he is not a past
master OF politics.

IT is quite the rule to say every
thing that can be said in opposi-

recognize their meritorious acts.
We feel that in the general credit
being give to those who have so
generously donated relief to the
California sufferers, the railroads
that have gratuitously hauled
supplies and people, sidetracking
passenger trains to rush fast
freight to their relief, pulling
thousands of cars for nothing and
in every way possible, showing
their desire to be in on the giving
is an act that deserves the same
cordial commentator that does
the check, given for large sum
by the prosperous business man,

has cost the railroads great sum,
and they have not been niggardly
in their giving.

the creatures he had made. In
great plenty did He endow them.

Where did the corporations get
their initial power? Was it not
from legislative action? And
when did the creature become
greater than the creator?
Dear Mr.. Van Wormer, will you
kindly discontinue tanning your
self with your ears long enough
to tell us what is in the way OF
those who created corporations,

them.
Men like Van Wormer are
amusing in their superb egotism,
their assumption of power and
privilege their arrogance and
lofty ignoring of forces more
powerful than anything except
the will of the Creator of the Uni

this man become potent enough
the people will arise as they al
ways have and he and his class
will go to destruction. 1T social
