"God Bless the Wom g."

1 am not a preacher. But even a sinner may from afar admire the beautiful cause of temper ance, bare his head and open his heart to make room where may be cherished that spirit so noble that brings together such a gath ering as that of the Woman s Christian Temperance Union in Columbus today. They are no' ble women. They know, as you and 1 know, that the greatest curse of this grand old state, which leaves it's ever lengthen- ing trail across the fair hills and valleys, uplands and lowland, breaking human hearts and tear ing down God s most perfect handiwork, sinking amid the depths of shame and degredation the mortal wreck of character, is the habit of drink.
 Out of place is it, as some ar que mistakenly, for our wives and mothers and sisters to take up arms against the demon drink? Bless you, there is no pa triotism more worthy, no loyalty more laudable than the patriotic spirit and the loyalty to ones own tireside that impels these bless ed women to protect the home, their individual homes, their neighbours homes and the Ameri can home from invasion worse in effect than raids made by armed men who act in heat of passion.
 It is their fight. It is their fight because it is our mothers and wives and sisters who must suffer the broken hearts. They bear the brunt of the invasion through the silent nights they are the ones who weep and pray and hope. - Walter Duncan in the Columbus, Ga, Ledger.

The least neglect blights it. It can not thrive on silence
 But the poor little wife has become used to being made much of, and misses it cruelty.
 The man who imagines that after marriage his wife will be satisfied to take his love for granted does not know woman.
 The thing to do Is to think of that now and let no opportunity of assur. ing them of our love and apprecia- tion pass by.
 He can still say pretty things to other girls if the opportunity arises so why leave out the girl who loves him best of all?
 Sometimes, when it is too late, we feel we would give anything on earth to be able to tell our dear ones how much we loved them.
 Then after marriage he, practical and unsentimental, would like to set tie into a life of routine, where love is taken for granted.
 Treat it with reverence and gentle ness and 1t will tarry long, but ne glect and treat it harshly and it will open its wings and fly away
 She would like her new gown to be praised, and when she tires herself out getting up a nice dinner she would like to know that her efforts are ap- preciated
 Not many of us have the happy knack of making pretty, loving we all know how pleasant it is to hear them ourselves.
 Before marriage he never wearies of reiterating his love. The woman lives in an atmosphere of betting and praise, an atmosphere that all human beings take very kindly to.
 She does not expect that her hus- band should be always reassuring her she would like him to go back just once in a while to the dear old days of courting

A Strenuous Statesman.

In his Eclipse and O'Kelly" Theo- dore Andrea Cook tells a story of the English statesman and sport Fox. He had wagered something about a waist coat which could only be obtained in Paris; went off to Dover by night, caught the mail packet, posted to Par is and back to Calais, and remembered he had horse racing at Newmarket. He chartered fishing boat bound for the eastern counties, just got to New market in time for the race, took the post back to London and stopped on the way to dine. In the middle of the port and dice after dinner he was caught by special messenger who had been tearing over half of England iu search of him and reminded that he had to move to bring in marriage bill in the house of commons. He rushed to the stables, reached the house in time to make brilliant speech in re- ply to North and Burke and defeated North on a division by a single vote.

FultOn's American Band will give the first of series of proms. on Sat urday evening, at the City hall. This will be the first prom the band has given in several months, as the hall has been closed while the work of re- decorating the interior of the build ing was being done. City hall now
 presents a fine appearance which together with the fine floor which was recently laid goes to make it one of the most desirable halls for entertainments in the city. The To- cation of City hall is most eonven- tent Leader Fulton has selected an especially attractive program of the latest popular music for the opening prom. on Saturday evening. The full band will be in attendance.

POL r
.a1RL BEHIND THE COUNTER.

! "GIRL BEHIND THE COUNTER i Lew Fields and his big company appeared in his new musical comedy '..The Girl Behind the, Counter" at Polls last evening before an auds- ence that filled the theater. The performance did not come up to eX- pectations. In. the first place the audience, because of the late arrival of the production was compelled to i wait more than half an hour after the usual time before the curtain ascended, and if; there is anything that makes an audience tired and sleepy it is to be propped up in theater seats for half or three quar- ters of an hour. "The Girl Behind The Counter" has been making a big hit in London and perhaps when it reaches New York next Monday evening where it opens at the Herald fsquare it may be in line for run There are two acts and the first one is rather slow; especially is this true of the first part of this scene. The l second act is much more lively and Fields has an opportunity to bring out a laugh or two.e His scene with the walters was. one of the funniest things of the evening and had .he audience in an uproar, If there was anyone in the performance that the l audience liked and had reason to like better than the star it was Miss Connie Ediss. As Mrs Henry Schniff, the wife of Fields, she was excellent. Her peculiar twang and accent brought her in right from the start, and she grew stronger as fhe play proceeded. Her soda fountain specially with Fields was indeed funny as was her almost every move during the evening. Both her songs 'Eh? An? Oh?" and ~"Now Eve Mar ried a Millionaire" were we'll given and deserved all the applause that was accorded them. Louise Dresser, as Millie Mostyn, looked just as cap- 'tivating as ever and although she has not much of part the audience took to her. Her voice is not any too good at present but she has 8 way of her own in getting off her songs that takes. George Beban as
 
 linery store enacted the role well as did Denman Maley who was in the part of Lord Gussie Gushington. The oVerworked Pony Ballet was there with the jingle and their work was commendable. Although their stunts have been seen often before. they pranced around in unison, working splendidly together. Be- cause of illness Miss Lotta Faust was out of the production. The costumes were elaborate, and the settings were we'll taken care of. There are many good features to the show and when it is shortened a lit tie, Fields and his company should be able to make it trot along at very good pace, although the come dian can be given much more to GO and not be overworked.

The Ren's Feet.

Naturalists say that the feet of the common working bee exhibit the curi- ous combination of basket. a brush and pair of pinchers. The brush, the hairs of which are arranged in sym metrical rows. is seen only with high grade microscope. With this brush of fairy delicacy the bee brushes it's vel vet robe to remove the pollen dust with which 1t becomes loaded while suck ing up the nectar of flowers. Another delicate apparatus is the spoon shaped appendage that receives the gleanings that the bee wishes to carry to the hive. Finally. by opening the brush and the basket by means of a neat lit- tic hinge. the two become a pair of pinchers, which render important serv- ice in constructing the cells for the reception of the honey.
