Beautiful Electrical and Scenic
Effects.

Since he commenced to produce
musical comedies Manager b. c.
Whitney has given the theatregoers
number of productions that were
marvellous combinations OF cleo
trical skill, scenic splendor, gorgeous
costumes and feminine beauty, bnti
is questionable if he has ever APP
proached anything like the grandeur
Of his latest success "A Knight
For 4 Day" which will be seen at the
Grand Theatre Wednesday evening,
December Both. 1t is one of the
greatest successes of its class that
Chicago, New York, and Boston have
ever seen, having been presented for
eleven months i'll Chicago, six months
III New York and three months in
Boston. The dances, ensembles and
chorus numbers are all tie work of
Gus SOhlke whose cleverness in this

Explains the Situation Exactly.

AS the Mt. Olive Tribune remarks
very timely, "many persons feel Of
tended because their comings and 60
ings are not mentioned while those
of others are, and wonder what the
matter can be. The explanation of
the matter is that the editor means
to be impartial, but some escape
mention. The likes and dislikes of an
editor have nothing to do with it,
and while it is not pretended that the
editor is more than human he knows
that the success of his journal de-
ponds on his fairness and impartiality
to all. 1t is the best way always
when Il notice is desired to mention
it to the editor, or communicate
through the postoffice. No one feels
worse about any seeming neglect or
partial performance of duty than the
editor himself.

Christmas Shopping.

The holiday trade opened up birskly
in advance OF what it usually does.
Conditions have been favora ble, the
stocks of our local dealers are pretty
and plenteous and the people have
been buying far in advance OF the
actual holiday week Best of all,
they seem to have more money than
usual and are making larger pur-
chases and buying u higher class OF
goods. The trading public has come
TO Il realization of the fact that it is
better to start in at the first and
get the pick OF the goods, than to
delay until the last and get the
remnants.
Henderson merchants were never
so we'll prepared for the holiday
requirements. In the splendid and
attractive stocks displayed there are
the useful and the ornamental, the
durable and the frail, for all corners
and calculated to please every one.
While this magnificent display OF
holiday goods is being picked over
by early shoppers. old st. Nicholas
takes an occasional peep i'll the front
or rear window, always being care
full that he is not observed by some
watchfnl-eyed little fellow with sus-
picions in his head. But. he is here,
and has established himself at num-
Der of places to see that all the good
little boys and girls in Henderson
and the country round about are
provided for when he visits their
homes Christmas eve night.

Forestry in Japan,

Just at the time when this country is
beginning to struggle with the problem
of outstanding its forest resources, of
protecting its mountain slopes, and of
improving the waterways, ii is inter
esting to know that the japanese have
successfully attacked the same pro-
blem, before the land suffered severely
from the evil effects following defores-
tation. The farsighted people of Nip
pom have foreseen the results of the de-
struction of their extensive mountain
forests, and have safeguarded them
selves by placing all of these under gov
eminent control.
The practice of forestry has been car
ried on in Japan for longer time than
in any other country. For 1,200 years
the people of Japan have been plant
ing and growing forests, with sue
velous. Under careful management,
the japanese forests yield very high fl
nancial returns. This high yield Is
only made possible by the close utili-
zation of every bit of the tree so that
scarcely a twig is wasted, and by the
improvement of the growth of their
forests by carefully conducted thinning
and tending. The woods are first thin
ned at the age of thirteen years, and
then every five years after that up to
the time Of the final harvest, at 120
years.
1t was with the opening up Of the
hitherto inaccessible mountain forests
that the japanese government became
most intensely interested in forestry.
The mountains were still government
land, so all that was necessary to pro-
tect them was to place proper restric-
tions on the sale and outing of timber.
This was effected by declaring the for
ests on the steep slopes as reserved for
ests, in which the only cutting should
be done under government direction.
The forests on agricultural lands, not
needed for protection, are classed as
available forests, and here the cutting
is not so carefully restricted.
Thus Japan has effectually prevent
ed the stripping of her mountain slopes
before any great damage has been done.
In some districts, where the mountains
are near the towns, the steep slopes
have already been cleared, and this has
resulted in floods and the washing down
of the soil from the slopes on to the
farm lands. But these cases have been
exceptional, and have merely served as
q warning, which Japan has needed
before it was too late to prevent wide
spread destruction.

Woman's Curiosity.

"Yes," said Mrs. Fletcher. "What

she said to another woman who was
too fat to join in the chase-but when
she caught sight of that flaming red
poster tied to the mans back her Gu
riosity got the better of her and she
set out after him. He led her quite a
chase across town and downtown and
back again, but she never weakened
She tagged faithfully along i'll his
wake, and finally she got close enough
to read that notice"
Mrs. Fletcher reflected moment.
."What did it say ?" she asked.

Mrs. Fletcher thought again.
"Where were you all the time she
was trying to find that out ?"

if she finally caught up with the man. "

Low Necked Dresses.

In the early days of Pennsylvania
there was law, as we learn from doc
uments in the state department, which
stated as follows: ''That ii any white
female ef ten years or upward should
appear in any public street, lane, high
way, church, courthouse, tavern, ball,
theatre or any other place of public re-
sort, with naked shoulders. e., low
necked dresses-being able to purchase
necessary clothing, she shall forfeit and
