the world OF wild animals. anc som .
morsnOlse that's the Carnival.
And its certainly full OF life and &c

II you happen to go into the Hotel
Gates ball room or have occasion to talk
with some friend on the broad veran-
das of tho hotel, you will see small
card in front of you with this legend:
"seats on verandas and In ball room
for guests only. This will be enforced. "
And thereby hangs an interesting
story of nerve. While, of course, the
management of the hotel welcomes
heartily those who have occasion to
call ON any of the hotels guests, either
On business or for social call, still the
verandas and ball rooms are primarily
for the guests OF the hotel, and not for
the guests of private boarding houses.
But It has even come to the proprie
tors of private boarding houses coming
into the hotel, getting acquainted with

pouring into town, and the num-

as tho both City and County

Mr.. Sam T. Hodges has Some
thing to Say About DR..
Clarence StroUSe
Sensational Developments Expected at Any
Time Believes Public Sentiment
to be with Company

Two years ago Hendersonville
had no Chautauqua at all, Last
year she had one. This year she
has two. What the future holds
in store only the fortune teller at
the Carnival can tell and she
wants 80 cents for the informa-
tioh.
Just now the situation IL full of
interest. There is talk of arrests,
and suitf for recovery of property,
and damage suits.
Station and Rector are DR..
Strouse's attorneys and R. G.
Clarke his local manager. On
Monday night last 1t is alleged
that Burt jackson and Jim Dot
sen gained entrance to the Audi
forum building, by some means,
and are now in possession, holding
it for DR.. Strouse.
Messrs. Jackson and Dotsen will prob
ably be arrested for forcible tr0spass,
or something on that order.
The building and coutents~is fairly
| well ceYsred up with mOrtgagesr but

Gently having acquired them.
The building was constructed and the
land bought by local capital, most ev-
eryone In town having an interest in It.
DR.. Strouse claims he's going to hold
HIS Ohautauqua in that building
The HendersonviIle Auditorium Co.
claim they are going to hold THEIR
Chautauqua in that building.
The result will probably be suit in
the Federal Court in Asheville or Rich
mond. There will be two Chautauquas
held here, at any rate. Advertising fo1
both is now beng printed and circulat-
ed.
Last year, DIR. Clarence B. StfouS'

Hendersonville Auditorium Co. to holC

Good for Evil

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-Good for evil was returned yesterday by Police Judge E. R. Ratterree to Blount c. Trice. Trice was candidate for Police Judgeagainst Ratterree and during the cam paign did considerable mud singing. Failing in his desires to become police judge, he be- came temperance lecturer and lawyer. He frequently in his talks referred to the Little Rock police department as a gang of thieves, never failing to give the police department of Little Rock the black eye when he had the opportunity. Saturday night the police were called to the Arkan- sas building to get a man who was creating a disturbance in the building. Upon their arrival they discovered the man to be Trice, who was so wild he could not be handled by one man and reinforcements had to be sent for. He was finally landed in the city jail and was with the bunch of prisoners brought into the police court Monday morning. Here he put up pitiful tale, say ing that he had gone to the room with friend who had a half a pint of whiskey, which they drank and he became so wildly intoxicated. He said further, that he was on his way to Huttig to deliver lecture, If 1 were a Pl eacher" at the time that he met the friend. He was prompt ly fined S6 and not having the coin of the realm, nor the friend to produce the coin he was com mitted to jail. Later Judge Rat terree sent for Trice and inform ed him that though he had never been spoken of kindly by the prisoner, he was willing to for. give and forget. Trice then thank ed the judge and was allowed to depart.

To know when, and when not, to laugh has made many a man s and many wOman's, fortune. One of the rare exceptions, which proves the truth of this, is Mas New Husband. This screaming musical farce does not give you time to exercise discretion. 1t forces you to.laugh, whether you like to or not, and to laugh all the time.
