"QuIncy Adams Sawyer" ComJna.

There is scarcely anyone in this broad
land who has not by this time either
heard of or read that "best New Eng
land story ever written, Quincy
Adams Sawyer, and observed the man
driving down country road to Mason
Corner in one horse chaise. And
these same people are familiar with
the words beneath that picture, ''The
village gossips wondered who he was,
what he was, what he came for, and
how long he intended to stay" This
announcement is to state that the
Quincy Adams Sawyer" of book fame
has now become the Quincy Adams
Sawyer" of play fame as well. That at
least explains who he is and what he is.
1t is self-eyident that what he comes
for is to entertain the theatre-goers
who will doubtless pack the opera house
to see the dramatization of novel that
has reached the phenomenal sale of 200.
600 in it's first year. AS to the length
of the stay. it is limited to one per-
Torrance, as follows, Thursday night.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
ADVANTAGE OF EARLY SHOPPING
 IS SHOWN.
Don't Put Your Gift Purchasing on Till The Last Day Or So
 Before Christmas.

As Christmas draws nearer, the retail stores have taken 1t upon themselves to draw out the holiday shoppers, in order to as far as possible relieve the congestion that naturally sets in the nearer Christmas Day approaches. This is a very wise thing for the stores. as we'll as for the shoppers, because the longer Christmas shopping Is post poned. the harder satisfactory buying becomes.
 The Montgomery Fair has taken Two separate advertisements today to ade- quately impress the bargains for this week's selling and to enforce the im- portance of early shopping.
 The Furniture Department announces a 20 pes cent Reduction Sale. in which cluded, with the single exception of Ostermoor Mattresses. Many articles particularly appropriate for Christmas gifts are described and priced. and from every figure given, the 20 per cent Is to be deducted this week.
 In the full-page announcement, the Montgomery Fair has shown from all over the store those things which are are most likely to be wanted as Christ mas-present giving. The sale of jewell ry particularly will prove very inter- esting reading right now. And so on through the entire page.
 The little fellows will be sure to get an "Exer-Ketch" this week, which are on sale in the Toy Section every after noon from 3 to 5 o'clock. for only three cents each. This is the toy that Is taking such & firm hold all over the country and will prove highly enter taining for the kids. ---adv.

Might Riders Cause
 Trouble in Kentucky.
RIOT IN BROWNSVILLE
Its Citizens Pass a Long Night of
 Terror.
Five Hundred Masked And Heavily Armed Men Marched Into Town And Left Destruction Tn
 Their Path.

Hopkinsville, Ky, Dec. Five hun dred might riders'' masked and heavily armed. marched into Hopkinsville about ? o'clock this morning and destroyed property valued at over $200.000, while the citizens, in terror of their lives, feared to- even so much as open their windows, and the police, fire depart ment, telephone and even the railroad stations were in possession of a wild mob shdoting right and left.
 The flames from burning buildings in the meanwhile lighting up the city and the surrounding country and 1t seemed that the whole town was ablase. Windows in the front of business houses and banks on the main street of the city were shot out and the en- tire front of one newspaper. which had been especially severe in its condemna- ton of the raids of the night riders, and which was owned by the mayor of the city, was demolished.
 Fortunately only two men were fn- Jured. one of them being Lindsay Mitchell, az tobacco buyer who was severely beaten with switches and clubs and the other brak eman who was shot in the back while trying to re- move his train from the path of the flames. The raid of the night rid ers' caught the city unawares as for some time the depredations resulting | minor nature, and it was generally thought that in the dark district" at least, the worst was over.
 The property destroyed was as fol- lows:
 W. H. Tandy, Tobacco Warehouse, building owned by John c. Latham.
 B. M. Woodbridge, association ware- house.
 Tandy and Fairletgh. Reggie buyers wareh ouse.
 In addition to these. the entire glass front of The Hopkinsville Kentuckian. Mayor Meacham's paper. was de- stroyed while windows in the front of the Commercial Banking and Saw ings Company, the First National. the Planters Trust Company and the Bank of Hopkinsville, were punctured with bullet holes. A number of other busi- ness houses and residences this morn- ing bear the marks of the night rid ers'" bullets. and it is considered re- markable that no one was killed. The insurance is believed to be about $60,- 900.
 At the intercession of citizens who who were being guarded on . street corner. the invaders allowed the fire department to leave their building to save property adjacent to the burning

Archdeacon Stuck yesterday after noon at o'clock addressed the wo- mans Auxiliary of the Holy Comfort CT and St. Johns Episcopal Churches in the chapel of St. Johns on Madison Avenue.
 The subject chosen by pr. Stuck for his address was one of especial inter- est to women. The talk was especially directed to the heroic work of the wo- men missionaries in Alaska. and in thls connection pr. Stuck took occasion to express his admiration and keen ap- preciation of the Woman's Auxiliary to the Board of General Missions' which. he said, was paying the salaries of all the women now working for the great cause in distant Alaska.
 During his address he told various incidents illustrating the devotion and the self-sacrifice of these women, a self sacrifice and devotion that 1t al- most martyrdom.
 Dr. Stuck recounted the work which is being done by these women in Alaska. The chief missionary work Is being done. among the Indians. said the speaker. and he then recounted to difficulties which these women in Alaska so bravely face and conquer. The speaker said that 1t was much easier to transform a man into a savage than it was to transform a savage into man. G
 The speaker closed his remarks with .a tribute to the faithfulness of those few women laboring under so cold and bleak sky, at the same time express ing a hope that the work would be furthered and larger things done Tor the cause of Christ in the near future.
