REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
BY HELEN ROWLAND.

The original fox was man:
the original grapes were the girls
re couldn't kiss.
Being a wife often means being
a servant with the wages left out
and the privilege of eating with
the family thrown in.
A mans desire for a son is usu-
ally nothing but the wish TO dup
licate himself in order that such
a remarkable pattern may not be
lost TO the world.
It isn't the girls whom he has
loved and lost that a man sighs
for; it's those whom he has loved
and never won.
It is difficult to tell who is the
most grateful to Fate for his sex;
the woman who watches her hus-
band while he is in the throes of
shaving. or the man who sees his
wife getting into a tight corset
and a dress that buttons up the
back.
When a wife induces her hus-
band TO get on the water wagon"
against his will, he is likely to
fall off with a fearful splash.
Lazy men fancy that the wheel
Of life is roulette wheel, on
which fortunes are won only by
chance.

AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSES
Columhia-.eThe Pride OF Jennico.,

COlumbia-"The Pride OF JennicO."
The beginning of the last week OF the
highly successful engagement OF James
X. Hackett and his company opened last
night with the play in which Mr.. Hackett
made such a success some eight or ten
years ago. The Pride OF Jennico."
DramatiZed from the novel by Agnes and
Egerton Castle, the play is romantic
melodrama Of sort that had a vogue
decade ago. and of all the plays of
this metfer, THE Pride OF Jennico" was
perhaps the most popular.
AT that time Mr.. Hackett was iden-
titled TO a greater degree than he has
been Of later years with plays Of this
type. and here he found a drama that
gave him the opportunity 70 answer the
call of Wanted, a hero" with a full
ness of bravado and a ready sword that
did such deadly execution that Il seemed
as II THE Pride Of Jennico" was the
final word in this sort of drama.
Indeed. it was the apogee Of the TO
mantle drama, which has never been sue
cessfully revived since. until during this
brief summer season Mr.. Hackett has
revived first THE Prisoner Of Zenda"
and now "The Pride OF Jennico." with
result in popular approval which seems
20 show that the theater-going public Is
quite ready for a return of romanticism
In its drama
Mr. Hackett played this play In the
days gone by so long and so success
fully that II was not 10 be wondered at
that he gave fine performance Of II
last night. Roles such as that OF Basil
Jennico suits him down TO the ground.
and It is with apparent JOY that his flash
ing sword lays low three villains in the
third act and literally strews the stage
with the eorpses OF his victims in the
last
Rant, OF course there is rant. and
buncombe. and clap-trap; but It is of the
sort that many people like. and so II was
only 10 be expected that each act re-
celved many curtain calls and that after
the third act the star was called on for
a speech.
Mr. Hackett has for the most part ex-
cellent support. Miss Mabel Roebuck
played the part OF Marie Ottilie, Princess
of Dornheim. a part that Ras been played
by many clever women The hOnors of
the cast. outside Of the star. were car
ried off, undoubtedly. by Miss Nina Nor
ris as Michel. a young gypsy girl. Miss
Morris has stamped her individuality IN
mlstakably upon the Hackett company;
each week her work has been worthy OF
cOmmendation and last night she dis
played a power and ability. force and
grace which made her stand head and
shoulders above her associates. The rest
OF the cast was very competent Mr.
Hoops. as Sir John Beddoes. played the
part as II he were grateful not 20 be a
villain for once and Mr.. Brigham Royce
was clever as the prince. Miss Edith
Luckett, whose work In this company has
been watched with great interest. had
only a tiny bit" in which she looked
charming. and Miss Dorothy Hammack
played well the ungratefuI part OF OttiIle
Pahlen.
Scenically the play was all that could
be desired, and the performance was, in
most respects, highly satisfactory one

Government by Injunction.
The purpose is to guard against injustice
resulting from the unWiSe action of preju-
diced judges. AID to prevent any dispute
concerning what took place at the trial.
The effect Is to turn the judge into some
thing little better than the moderator Of
a town meeting with no efficient voice in
the determination of the litigation.
Government by injunction is a good
thing. Effort has been made to make it a
political question and it has been an OBJ
ject of easy Pronunciation. There has
never been time when it's unresiSted

Increase Of the Philippine Commits
sion Urged,

Secretary Taft yesterday made an argu-
ment before the Senate committee on
Philippines in favor of the bill to increase
the Philippine commission to nine men,
bers. The bill was ordered reported ia
vorablS.
Secretary Taft urged upon the commit
tee the necessity of removing the appli-
cation of the coastwise shipping laws
from commerce between the islands and
the United States. He argued that there
are not enough American bottoms plying
between the United States and the Phil
ippines to handle trade that would come
TO this country if it were not for the re-
striction in regard to shipping. Senators
Hale and Teller produced figures in sup
port OF an argument that the increase of
trade with the United States had been SO
limited that 1t did not warrant the re-
moval of the restrictions. No action was
taken on the several bills before the
committee to promote commerce between
the United States and the Philippine
Islands.
