Old Favorites Back.

After a weeks absence, Willard
Mack and Maude Leone WITH their
excellent stock company, return to
The Kentucky for their third week
this afternoon. Tonight the
bill is that laugh a minute" farce,
Browns in Town" This comedy is
one of the few that live. because its
mirth provoking qualities are SO
natural and irresistible.
Beginning Monday night the COM
pany will continue to present to
Paducah people the series of stand
ard comedies which has made'such a
remarkable hit during repeated en-
gagements. Many Of these pieces.
which are presented in good taste
and costumed correctly. are seldom
seen any more outside of regular
stock houses in the cities. the usual
travelling repertoire company not
carrying them, and the old theater-
goers are finding it impossible to
deny themselves the opportunity of
witnessing these revivals. The popu-
larity of the. plays suggests the ad-
visibility of some stars dropping
their search for new material and
giving the public revivals of the
standard drama, which stock compa-
mics now monopolize. There may be
one or two repetitions next week of
plays by request but aside from
these the repertoire will be fresh.
Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

way of salaries. but in spite Of this
fact there is always a bitter contest
for the places. Personal cards are
permitted but no other form of
money spending to secure votes will
be tolerated.

slavery the Corner Stone of the Southern
COnfederncy.
The provision for Free Trade in the
Constitution was expected by the Con-
federates to bring them immediate rec
ognition by France and England, which
had to have their cotton, and in ex-
change would have opened to them a
free market for their products. At that
time this was a sufficiently alluring
prospect to readily mislead men North
as we'll as South Cotton was vital
necessity to both England and France,
as upon it very large proportion OF
their manufacturing wealth was based.
Il could be grown no where else with
much success, and there was therefore
reason for the sanguine boast that "cot-
ton was king" and everything else must
bend to it. England and France would
be only too glad to have the South
opened freely to their products without
any of the embarrassments which had
been suffered thru the tariff imposed to
build up Northern manufactures. These
bright hopes were thoroly blasted by
the frank utterances of Vice President
Stephens on the subject of slavery. At a
great meeting in Savannah. called to re-
ceive him upon his return from Mont
gomery, Mr.. Stephens went into an elab-
crate defense and praise of the new
Government and the provisions of its
organic act. In this he took pains 10
combat Thomas Jefferson's declaration
tiiat all men were created equal and
endowed with certain inalienable rights.
Jefferson, and those associated with
him in the formation of the "old Gov
ernment,'' had mistakenly assumed that
the enslavement of the African was a
violation of the laws of nature. This
idea was fundamentally wrong; it rest
ed upon a radical error of assuming an
equality of races, and consequently 1t
made q sandy foundation which wreck
ed the Government at the first storm.
He said:
"Our new Government is founded up
on exactly the opposite ideas; its foun-
dations are laid, its cornerstone rests
upon, the great truth that the negro is
not equal to the white man; that Slav-

TRIBUTE 70 BROWNSVILLE.
Poem Written by a 9Th Cav. Trooper an
Circulafed In the Army.

SfrculateO N the army
The shooting up of Brownsville has
had one effect which is pleasing to the
people of the town. 1t has placed
Brownsville upon the map.
Brownsville has been we'll known to
the Army ever since the Mexican War.
In the earlier days, and in fact until
about three years ago, Fort Brown was
one of the most desolate Army posts
in the United States.
1t was situated $50 miles from the
nearest railroad which led to the out
side world, and the surrounding coun-
try was a wilderness of cacti and sand.
Conditions have been transformed by
the building of a railroad to Browns
Vile from the north and the establish
ment of irrigation enterprises. 1t Is
now rapidly becoming garden spot.
Many years ago. tho, private be-
longing to the United States 9Th Cav.
while stationed at Fort Brown, wrote
poem entitled Hell In Texas" This
poem was printed on slips on the old
Army press at Fort Brown, and at
tanned wide private circulation among
the soldiers on the Texas frontier. A
copy of it was recently resurrected here.
1t reads as follows:
Hell in Texas.
The devil in hell, we're told, was chain
ed,
And a thousand years he there re-
NAMED;
He never complained, nor did he groan,
But determined to start hell Of his
own,
Where he could torment the souls OF
men
Without being chained in a prison pen.
So he asked the Lord If he had on hand
Anything left when he made the land.
The Lord said: "Yes; had plenty on
hand,
But left it down on the Rio Grande:
The fact is, old boy, the stuff is so poor.
don't think you could use 1t in hell
any more"
But the devil went down to look at the
truck,
And said if it came as gift he was
stuck:
For after examining 1t carefully and
well,
He concluded the place was too dry
for a hell.
So in order to get it off of his hands.
The Lord promised the devil to water
the lands;
For he had some water--or, rather,
some dregs.
A regular cathartic, and smelled like
bad eggs.
Hence the deal was closed and deed
was given,
And the Lord went back to his home In
Heaven.
And the devil then said: II have all
that is needed
To make a good hell" and hence he
succeeded.
The National tribune., 1907-02-21

He began to put thorns on all of the
trees,
And mixed up the sand with millions
of feas,
And scattered tarantulas along all the
roads;
Put thorns on the cactus and horns on
the toads.
He heightened the horns Of the Texas
steers,
and put an addition on the rabbits
He put little devil in the bronco steed.
And poisoned the feet of the centipede.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion
stings,
The mosquito delights you with buzzing
The sand burrs prevail and so do the
ants,
And those who sit down need half solcs
on their pants.
The devil then said that thruout the
land
He'd manage to keep UP the DEVILS
own brand,
And all would be mavericks unless they
bore
Marks of scratches and bites and thorns
by the score.
The heat in the Summer IS 110.
Too hot for the devil and too hot for
men.
The wild boar roams thru the black
chaparral,
It's hell of place he has for hell.
The red pepper grows on the banks OF
the brook;
The Mexicans use II in all that they
cook.
Just dine with "Greaser," and then
you will shout,
i've a hell on the inside as we'll as the
out"

Teacher Found Dead

The first two scholars to arrive at the
Center Street Grammar School, in Rich3
mond, last Thursday morning had the awful
experience of finding their teacher, Miss Ina
B. Reed, lying dead by her desk in tho
schoofroom. The coroner's physician, Drj
Jerome, at once pronounced it I" sudden death
from Heart Disease" -
Mrs. Reed, the mother, said .~"Several
times during the last term of school Ina has
mentioned that 1t put her out Of breath to

This case is only one; sixty thousand peoj
pie die yearly of Heart Diseased Six in every
ten have it. Many don't know it, they think
kidneys, female organs, etc, and get no

can't be cured. Now Heart Disease is Just as
