Weldon Grossmith. the English
comedian, used to tell a good story
about play by Robert Ganthony,
which that gentleman asked him to
read. Mr.. Grossmith took the comedy,
but lost 1t on his way home might

Ganthony, and he would ask me how
l liked his play. 1t was awful The
perspiration used to come out on my
forehead as I'd say sometimes, L
haven't had time to look at 1t yet or,
again, The first act was good, but
can't stop to explain, ETC., must catch
a train That play was the bane of
my existence and haunted even my
Dreams" Some months passed, and
Ganthony, who Is a merry wag, still
pursued him without mercy At last it
occurred to Mr. Grossmith that he
might have left the comedy in the cab
on the night it was given to him. He
went down to Scotland Yard and in
quired. "Oh, yes" was the reply.
"Play marked with Mr.. Ganthony's
name sent back to the owner four

Ants Thnt XIII Snakes.

That ants can actually kill snakes is
a hard thing to believe. There is ir-
REPUTABLE evidence, however, that they
do, and scientists have discovered that
the snake has hardly a more dangerous
enemy. The large red-brown forest
ant is the sort that Is the most fatal to
the ophidians, and q curious thing
about the attack of these tiny creatures
on this comparatively enormous reptile
is that they kill it for food and not on
account of any natural antipathy.
When some of the ants catch sight of
a snake they arouse the whole COM
munity at once. In companies and bat
talions the little fellows set upon the
reptile, striking their nippers into his
body and eyes at a thousand points at
once. So rapidly and concertedly is this
done that the snake has no chance at
all of escaping. 1t soon becomes ex-
hausted and dies ANONYMOUSLY. Then
the ants set harder still to work. This
may seem a strange story, but 1t is
true They begin to tear off the flesh in
sU najeces, gradually stripping off

Uncle Sam may be obliged to take

Just because it sees him spending
money recklessly for canals, lead pen

uncle under discussion has a lot of
money that he doesn't know what to

price in way that would cause an ice

Daring Robbery.

Some weeks ago a man was held up
on the public road near town and
robbed of sum of monev-the pro-
ceeds of a load of tobacco he had
sold here. That was a bold and
high-handed act-there were three
against one-(the highwaymen.were
negroes) and the robbery was COM
mitted in the country But a more
daring and dastardly crime than
that was perpetrated right here in
town, on the principal street, within
stones throw of persons passing,
and within the glare of the electric
lights. Saturday night a young
lady who stays in one OF the stores
in town had her purse snatched
from her hand as she was going from
work to her home She was accom-
panied by another young lady who
is employed in the same establish
ment and just as they separated at
the home of the latter, and when
only a very short distance from her
own home, the young lady first men,
toned was approached by a negro
man who grabbed her hand bag and
ran with it, escaping in the dark. An
alarm was given and search was
made but the robber was not appre-
hended. The purse contained about
eight dollars in money and a small
gold acknowledgements the fig
ures 7327.517-1,276,957. The
watch may be offered for sale and if
it is it may be identified by the num-

New Enterprise.

Mr.. w. F. Wallet is arranging to
open a new amusement enterprise in
Henderson, the like of which the
town has not had heretofore. 1t is
an Electric Theatre-a permanent
moving picture show-where continu-
Gus performances will be given. One
of the store rooms in the Lassiter
building is being fixed up for the
purpose and it will be equal to any
similar place to be found in the larger
cities where such attractions have
proven immensely popular.
Mr.. Wallet has purchased one OF
the hest machines that is made and
has employed an experienced opera
tor to handle it. From the time of
opening until the close at night the
show will be going on all the time.
1t will take about 20 minutes for
each performance and there will be a
wait of three minutes, then the show
will be on again, the same thing
being repeated. There will be a
change OF views three times a week.
These will be the best that can DE
procured, varied in character, some
thing to please all-amusing and en-
pertaining, humorous and instructive.
Admission 3 cents.
Mr.. Wallet had expected to open
Monday, but at this writing it is not
certain that everything will be in
readiness then, but announcement
will be made by circular, and from
the initial performance on the Elec-
trio Theatre will no doubt be a pop
ular place of resort affording pleas
ant diversion at small cost either in
time Or money.

Red Men Celebrate.
Interesting Exercise. Held at Meth
odist Protestant Church Thanks
giving Nisht-Address BY Rev.
]. T. B. Hoover Followed by
Sumptuous Supper at Lodge.

The exercises incident to the Red
Mems celebration on Thanksgiving
night, were highly creditable to that
order and the friends who helped to
make it SO. Nothing was lacking to
make it a splendid success in every
way. Exercises were held in the
Methodist Protestant church and a
large crowd was present, the Sunday
school room being thrown open to
accommodate all. The principal
feature of the evening was an adj
dress by Rev. j. T. B. Hoover, who
spoke first on the causes for which
we have to be thankful, individually
and collectively-as people and a
nation-concluding with a reference
to the various fraternal and benevo-
lent orders and the noble work they
have done and are doing. Mr.
Hoover quite surpassed himself and
tions upon his excellent address. It
was opposite and entertaining, edi-
flying and informing, and was listened
to with close attention throughout.
All felt themselves indebted to Mr..
Hoover for his fine address and
among those who had not heard him
before he established himse If as
fOrceful and entertaining speaker and
well posted "order" man as we'll as an
all round ''good fellow" in the lodge
room.
Rev. R. C. Craven INDUCED a few
timely remarks, and Rev. A. G. Dixon
conducted the exercises. Miss Olive
Harris and Mrs. U. R. Browne each
sang solo and Mrs. j. H. Bridgers
recited Paul Revere's Ride, these
numbers concluding the program.
Miss Ethel Harris was Organist.
From the church the Red Men and
number OF invited friends repaired
to their lodge room where a sumptu-
GUS supper was partaken of. The
room had been appropriately decor
ated for the occasion, presenting much
the appearance OF a forest. Cedar
bushes were arranged against the
walls and throughout the room,
standing as if in their natural posi-
ton, leaving a space in the centre for
guests and the table. the floor COW
cred thick with moss, leaves and pine
straw, making a soft carpet and
greatly frightening the wooded effect
of the scene. This was the idea and
work of Mr.. o. R. Browne, upon which
he was much complimented.
The supper was all thatcould be de-
sired, we'll prepared and we'll served.
Meats, oysters, breads. pickles, coffee,
etc., comprised the bill of fare and
those who prepared it left nothing
undone in the provision, cooking
and service. All did ample Justice to
the tempting repast and the oc-
casioH was greatly enjoyed. Many
ladies were among the guests present.
Mr.. Hoover was master of cere-
monies and brief toasts were pro-
posed and responded to by Rev.
r. c. Craven, Mr.. S. R. Harris, Mr..
J. H. Bridgers, Capt C. J. Smith,
Mr.. 0. R. Browne, Thad R. Manning
and others.
The Henderson Concert Band fur
nished music for the occasion and re-
ceived many fattering compliments.

Cause for Generalization.

While nothing else was to be ex-
pected, we all feel better satisfied
after the "deed" has been done, and
this is to say that there is peculiar
qualification on the part of their re-
spective congregations and friends,
and general satisfaction on behalf Of
the public at large, at the return of
Rev. A. G. Dixon and Rev. R. C. Cra-
ven to their work in Henderson by
their conferences. Two good men,
doing a good work and greatly be-
loved, that they are to continue their
labors for the advancement of the
Masters kingdom among us is cause
for congratulation to the community
at large.
