1t Would Make Possible Some
Splendid Entertainments
Of Popular Kind.
FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION.
THIS BODY HAS 1T UNDER CON-
SHERATON AND SOME TANGI-
BILE OUTCOME MAY RESULT
FROM THE FACT.

plan has been suggested, which, if
accomplished, will furnish Richmond
with the highest class of entertain
ments this winter, it has ever had in
it's history. The idea is now under
consideration by the Richmond Festi-
val association. to bring some of the
best concert attractions in the country
to this city during the winter. To ac-
complish this. it is likely that the or
ganization will be placed on a different
basis. so that there will be plenty of
guarantee behind it, and then book
several of the best concert attractions
to appear al the coliseum at stated in
tervals between now and the May fes-
tival time.
1t is considered a lamentable fact
that Richmond does not have more
high class musical attractions during
the winter, as is the case in most other
large cities. At Muncie the Apollo
Musical club last season secured many
of the best artists of the country for re-
citas and concerts. Nordica, Schu-
mann-Heink. Bispham, Plancon. and
other noted soloists appeared in that
CITY. Llh6WISt DIT IdIlOH, many VI
the best concert companies of the coun-
try were secured for engagements. 1t
is thought by some of the local festival
supporters that the festival association
could thus increase the scope of their
organization and by placing these at
fractions at popular prices, the musical
interests of the city could be greatly
enhanced. 1t is also thought that after
a series of concerts of this character,
the May festival could be made the
final grand concert of the course.
Prices Are Prohibitive.
One of the promoters of the associa-
ton and man active in it's manage
ment states that in his opinion, the
May festival prices are prohibitive.
and consequently the patronage is only
from the elite. This fact prevents the
festivals from being popular with the
masses, and the city, as whole, does
not derive much benefit from the festi-
val. 1t is stated that the coliseum
will seat 1900 people, and if the price
was placed at % and 30 cents for ad-
mission. every seat could be filled.
whereas now only the most well -to-do
can afford to attend Another point in
favor of having the association secure
number of good attractions during
the year, is that it would greatly in
crease the interest in the May festival
later in the season.
1t is probable that the matter will
be up for consideration at meeting in
the near future. Henry Gennett and
others are very enthusiastic over the
prospects for this years festival and
Prof. Will Earhart is of the opinion
that this can be made the best festival
that has ever been held.

 Because-Your home merchant is ale ways ready and willing to make right any error or any defective article pur- chased of him.
 Because-When you are sick or for any reason 1t Is necessary for you to ask for credit. you can go to the local mercant. Could you ask 1t of a mall order house?

whose ingenious and profound conclu- sions are served to us fresh-very fresh -in the pages of magazine. In the flood of these complacent utterances the bewildered reader finds 1t dlmcu,s to discover one more preposterous than another, but Mir. Baker has at feast distinguished himself by proposing the sentiment that the Southern whites know Nuch less about the negro tRhn ho give few months to the investigation and quite naturally know it all" This Is proposition which will rivet the attention of all who may happen to encounter it. even at second hand; and we are serenely confident that 1t will 'endear MT. Baker to everybody the other side of the Potomac who enjoys an interlude os harmless merriment
 What we nay perhaps venture to identify as the Baker postulate Is that the Southern whites, while they knew all about the idle, vicious and criminal negroes in their neighborhood, have never imbfbed so much as a suspicion of the industrious, well behaved, self respecting and well-to-do colored peo- pie, who not only pay taxes. own prop tribute to the common welfare and speed the cause of organized and pro- gressfve civilization. MT Baker there fore offers ys. the interesting and novel sonably intelligent people absolutely ignorant of the nature of it's innmedi- ate environment and obliged to wait TOT illumination upon the discoveries of a vaSrant excurionist from the North. He has been visiting states in which some millions of law-abiding ana decent negroes dwell, where they have acquired ten millions worth of families in the way of decency and honorable conduct Those States swarm with colleges and churches controlled entirely by eo1ored people, nf encouraged by public sentiment: vet MT. Baker asks us to believe that the southern whites never heard of such things and are aware only of the black loafer and malefaetori
 It Is amusing enough, and of course those Southerners wno see or hear of the Thfngumbob Magazine are duly affiliated; There is a serious side to pect worthy of sincere lament. Hun dreds of thousands of people will sur vive who believe in Legree with his whip, in the ferocious bloodhounds that ing, cruel slaveowner who loved to lash and Scar.fy his miserable serfs. Thousands of honest conscientious men and women in these and further snatched from midnight rest by Iurid visions of Southern wickedness and oarbarism. And so, while the Bakers of this generation continue to play up ". eHoSV SCi aoWIui yet genuine mis- swings. painful apprehension born of ignorance and kept alive by dark sug- gestion will reign in the hearts of the innocent and credulous.
 Just now Northern magazines peri odicals and newspapers manage to combine these utterances with a sense of self-respect Is a 'conundrum we turn over to superior wisdom. But we are not concerned for them so much as for their hapless and befogged constitu- ents.

SHOE CENTER MOVES WESTWARD.
Mnnufacturern Gro,ninr Ranidlx.


 Only a few years ago most of the shoes worn Tn the United States were manufactured in the East. and many people who have not felt especially interested and have not kept in touch with the progress made by Western Shoe Manufacturers will be surprised to learn that St. Louis now manufac- lures and distributes annually about Sixty Million Dollars worth of shoes. The most striking e2 e2ample of growth is best illustrated by taking the results accomplished by one of these big St. Louis manufacturers, viz: The Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Go.
 They ship over Ten Million Dollars worth of shoes annually, and have made a gain over last year of slightly over Two Million Dollars. They employ about Four Thousand people and pay out thousands of. dollars daily for la bor Their slogan star Brand Shoes Are Better" must be widely and favora- bly known for it Is figured that one person in every thirtytwo is wearing Star Brand Shoes. adv

Our Daily Short Story


| by hurrying. we'll have time to climb and take a peep at the little eaglets and get away before the old bird re- turns"
 In a few moments they, saw the mother birl soar upward with great spread of wings and circle out over tho valley.
 Now is our time," said Stanford. springing up and leading the way; but We must hurry.
 A hard scramble over a series of ragged powders brought them to the crag where the eagle had built her nest. Four young eagles stretched out theih featherless necks, their yellow beaks wide open for the expected dim ner of blood-warm flesh. Suddenly gave a cry of dismay. "Quick! Quicyr he shouted. "The old bird is coming backr" and, grasp ing Jeannette by the arm he rushed her away from the nest.
 But the eagle was coming with the rapidity of a rocket and was upon them before they had gotten very far. Attracted. probably, by her red coat, the enraged bird made straight for Jeannette. Stanford succeeded in only partially saving her from the on- slaught. One fthe huge wings struck her a glancing blow and knocked her down.
 The eagle was carried far beyond them by the impetus of the rush. but dropping the rabbit 1t had brought for It's young, 1t circled quickly and re- turned to renew the attack. Stanford looked about for weapon. He grasped a young scrub oak. strug- | gling for growth in the barren soil and tore 1t up by the roots. Swinging 1 it in the air he brought it down on the eagles head as the great bird poised over the prostrate girl to attack her 1 with it's talons. The soil that had clung to the roots of the sapling mitigated the force of the blow, and the eagle lay but partially stunned, beatig It's wings on the l ground, its beady eyes glaring venom | and hate at its assailant.
 With more time now to choose a weapon Stanford picked up a heavy rock and stepped forward to despatch | the bird. But Jeannett, who had risen to her feet, stayed his arm with her hand. ( | Don't" she said, choking back her emotion, the young birds haven't had | their dinner yet"
 Stanford hurled the rock from him and, picking upj Jeannette in his arms made nasty retreat from the dan l gerous locality. As he felt the girls heart beating against his owe, he de- cided that the vacation episode" wal carrying him beyond his depth.
 When he reached the spot where luncheon had been eaten he stopped and looked down at her Her face was | crimson, but she was smiling at him
 How strong you are" she whispered ito tear that tree up by the roots. And you carry me as easily as if I was a child.'
 The temptation was too much for | Stanford. He simply couldn't help it. | he bent his head and kissed her.
 You belong to met" he exclaimed fervently.
 She hid her face on his shoulder her hot cheek pressing against his neck and although her assent was softly | soken, he heard it.
 'But-but-" he stammered. "are you taking everything into consideration? %
 "Yes," she answered seriously, "l am, and nothing counts hut this"
 But you've known me such a short time"
 I've known you all my life-in my | heart" she said quietly.
