CHE COULDN'T FIND TIME.
PAthstlc 8tory Containing Moral, Told
 by Ian MaoIaren.

One of the prettiest of Ian Mac. laren's stories is called Only a Eerv. ant Lass.' and it's only servant lass who is the heroine of this story.
 Tho oldest of big family of chil. dren-a poor family. of course-her pitiful wages made the great part of the family living. So. of course, she hadn't time-nor money-to bother with doctors, she thought. But that swelling bothered her, and finally she went.
 Come back in a week or two." the doctor said, after giving her some med icine, unless you're worse. If you are, come at once"
 Six months later she found time" to go back to see him. She had been getting rapidly worse. was suffering. but there was always something that needed to be done. and apparently no one else to do 1t.
 It was a case of malignant tumor, and an immediate operation was the only chance she had.
 Her mistress was ill-the woman she had been with so many years, who had been good to her family. So she stayed a while. did the housecleaning, nursed her mistress, helped until va cation came, and her younger sister could do her work without affecting her own school work.
 And then? Then 1t was too late.

WOULD MAKE ANYONE ANGRY
Carried Potatoes Six Miles; campes { In Fleld of Them.

!; Speaking of incidents. I saw few in the four years spent in the Union army during the civil war;" said Will liam Kingsland, a Union army veteran living at Rncklin. Mo.
 {! "One time down in Georgia during Sherman's march to the sea, myself and another man dug about a bushel iof sweet potatoes while on the march, expecting to cook them when we camped about half mile further on. Grub was pretty scarce in those days, and we valued those sweet potatoes pretty highly. Then we received or. ders to continue the march. We didn't suppose 1t would be much further, as 1t was already almost night, 50 we car. ,ried the sweet potatoes on stick be- tween us. We marched and marched and marched, and oh, but those pota. toes grew heavy. Six miles from where we dug the potatoes we pitched camp-oh. but 1t makes me mad every ! time think of it."
 Naturally" was the remark.
 Yes. naturally. seeing that we camped right on great big field of sweet potatoes.''

Those EvenIna chImss.

Edgar Allan Poe Is dead. and I do not want to say anything rude about him. In his poem of "The Bells" he seems to think that under certain conditions the mechanical banging of clapper against largo masses o' metal may have pleasing qualities; possibly he now has a wider knowl edge. But there are living versifers nothing if they are not sincere. who have written the praise of those Sab bath bells. They may also have writ ten In praise of those practice-nights They may even have a sympathetic sonnet for the musicless rascal who tries to ring a hymn tune on a peal of bells which Is not provided with the necessary accidental. Gle gives the nearest match to the note that he has in stock, and I suppose he gets police protection on his way home from the abominable work). want to get all these poets and tie them up together in churchyard. would then put several shifts of good. lusty. campan ologists into the belfry and pay then to keep those bells going for the space of three days and three nights, having previously given me time to get out of ear.shotSBarry Pain, in Black and White

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Nothing but highest praise is heard about the show at the Jacques this week. Crowded houses have been in order thus far this week and there Is a great demand for seats for the other performance. The matinee au- dlences all week have been just as enthusiastic as the evening gather ings. Xhe local players. Messrs Fitz- patrick, Madden and Thompson. get an ovation rat every performance and more bouquets have been passed over the foot lights this week than ever before at local vaudeville. The Turn of the Tide" has received flat tering tributes from the public and press and there is no doubt thnt the local men have valuable bit of stage property. They play 1t excep- tionally well and the performances are improving each day. Actors of no country have brought pantomine art up to such a high standard as the English players. This kind of stage business Is an art in itself and Is shown to perfection in Fred Karno's big English production. "A Night in the Sums of London" The com pany of Is players do the pantomine exceptionally well and the offering is a roar from the time the curtain goes up. The different phases among the lowly of the Whitechapel dis trIct are cleverly shown. This act alone is worth going to see The en- tire bill jrst bristles with good things.

North Carolina Wender,.

Mir. Tom Pennell was down In An tioch last week and stayed over night with Mir. Moses Armstrong. He tells us that Mir. Armstrong has . wonder. full pet pig. and he saw 1t himself with . broom sweeping out the yard. Of course the pig couldn't do as we'll at sweeping as some of his two-legged brethren. but it was wonderful to see how hard the pig worked and what progress he made. Mir. Armstrong says he has wonderful gander. too. The gander will climb an apple tree. shake 1t and then get down and eat the apples. Mir. Pennel says he did not see the gander. but after seeing the pig sweep he believed anything Mir. Armstrong told him-wilkesboro Chronicle.

POLL s
THE TOUR HuNrINGs.

See what the Dayton, o. Herald says: There Is plenty of fun in "The Fool House" It is Over-burdened with comedy, if there is such thing as over-burdening farce comedy. There are . number of good come dians in ''The Fool House. The Four Huntings, who were head.lin- CTS in the vaudeville field for years, shine, of course. Tony Hunting has work on the lines of Eddie Blondell, who won success for several seasons as the Katzenjammer kid. Mir Hunt ing is excellent in what he does and does plenty of It. Lew Hunting is a good competitor for the honors that have been awarded George M. Conan, who styles himself as "The Yankee Doodle Comedian" Mir Hunting is more graceful than Mr Cohan, speaks his lines better, has more acrobatic stunts. Miss Hunting as "Pansy" and John Hunting as the superintendent of the fool-house are both good, Mas ter Robbie Hunting, as wee bit of knickerbockered lad, makes q hit with the few lines he has and comes in as "tlle fifth and youngest Hunt ing" Prices, matinee 15 and 25 cents; evening 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.
