A stubborn Cinderella.

"a Stubborn Cinderella" although
by the authors OF "The Time, the
Place and the Girl" "The Girl Ques-
ton" and Honeymoon Trail" is an
entirely different class OF entertain
ment than its predecessors. Its char
acters are drawn from more preten-
tious walks of life, its scenes are laid
In different class of society and
even its musical numbers are more
ambitious than in the former plays
by these authors. The fact that the
Chicago production has now been
running nearly five months and has
performance, demonstrates the APP
peal which this charming play makes,
not only to the $3.50 patrons of the
theater but those who sit in the bal
comics and galleries as well. The
cast which has been engaged for this
play which will be seen here at the
Kentucky during December includes
Homer B. Mason. Grace Edmund,
Marguerite Keeler. Jack Rafael,
Ethel Dewey, Clara Noelke, Lincoln
Plumer, Harry PAUL.. Charles Wilson
and others.

U. S. Will Prohibit
Sale Of Absinthe
Chief Wiley, of Federal Chem
istry Bureaus, Strongly u
ges Drug Be Barred.

Washington, Dec. 19.-There is
a strong probability that the futher
importation of absinthe TO the
United states will be prohibited
A recommendation to that end was
made yesterday by DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley, chiefof the bereau of chem
isty, and the action of the secretary
is awaited with interest.
DR.. Wiley recently has conduct
ed some investigations in reference
to the extent to which abSintl e s
used in this country, and has dis
covered that OH account of taste
and effece of the drug, the habit is
rapidly acquired and is Il difficult
one to give up. In his recommend
alton, DR.. Wiley points out that
section II, of the pure food and
drug act; prohibits the Importation
of articles injurious to health, and
he classes absinthe as one Of these:
DR.. Wiley said:
"Tha use Of abSinthe has caused
great distress in France, and the
authorities have taken up thequts-
tion of prohibiting it's sale. Belgian
government already has passed a
law prohibiting its sale in the
kingdom"

Ordered to Cash
Near Beer Checks

Ordinary A. r. Walton received
a letter from Comptroller General
VIM. A. Wright Thursday after
noon informing him that he must
at once collect the near bear tax.
The tax is to be collected from all
parties running a near beer saloon.
While talking over the matter
Friday morning Ordinary Walton
said he was not going to collect the
tax in Richmond county until he
could write Mr.. Wright and find
out if the letter applied to the
near beer dealers in Richmon d
county. The reason Ordinary
Walton does not think the letter
applies here is that Mr.. Wright
and Mr.. G. E. Dunbar have an
agreement that the tax is not to
be collected from the dealers in
Richmond county until the case
no. pending comes to a trial, and
|if the case goesin favor of the beer
dealers, the certified checks they
have given are to be returned t.
them. If the decision upholds the
law, the checks are to be cashed
and the money sent to the state
treasury.
Although TIE agreement has
been made that the money is not
{, b. collected until after the cas-
is tried, a clause in Mr.. Wright's
letter reads as follows: "WhcIc
depc sits of checks have been made
with you pending the decision in
the case you should forthwith
collect them and remit to stat.
treasurer mailing a statement o.
them 10 this Office. "
Under the agreement Ordinary
Walton has no right to cash the
checks, and he will not do so. un
til he can write Mr.. Wright and
lind out il the letter applies il,
Richmond county. The case v ill
be triel Saturday bcfore Judge
Hammond in Chambers The out
lcome Of the matter will be watch
with interest.

Stun the LAWYER.

The famous Beau Hickman of Wash
ington was once a witness in a pending
case and, having testified in the course
Of his examination in chief that the
client of the attorney on the other side
was without funds. was being sharply
cross examined by that barrister. Hick-
man averred that the client had him
self told him of his penniless state. The
lawyer insisted that the exact Ian
guage be repeated. Hickman hesitat-
ed. but when pressed under threat Of
contempt proceedings he finally said,
We'll sir, if | must answer. he told
me this morning that he had no mon
ey." Wei. sir. what language did he
use?' Why, 1 asked him to lend me
half a dollar, and he said he couldn't,
for you had robbed him of every cent
Of his money and if he didn't get out
Of your clutches very soon his children
would starve.'
By the time the laughter had sub.
sided and the lawyer had time to col
iect his thoughts the case was decided
against him.

The Romans and the Sea.

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the bay of Naples, and he
dwells repeatedly with unsurpassed eff
feet on the littoral phases of the sea,
but on the element at large he eX
presses little but q ems of v%astness,
power, malcvolcnce. 1t is a toilsome
and perilous eypanse, to be hurried
across and escaped.
Across the land the Romans went
with indolnitable confidence, marking
their way with those works of pecu!-
lar permanence. so that today the Brit
on traverses the original roads they
built, and the Gaul walks beneath their
arches. But even in imperial times
the voyage from ~Brundisium to Greece
was something of a hardship. The
ocean was a thing "bestrew'd with
wreck and disaster" In its depths Or
on it's shores lay the bones of those
who never received burial and hence
could not pass over the Styx.
When Tiberius built a yacht he float
ed it on the quiet lake Nemi and very
likely kept it anchored like a palatial
houseboat. The sea lacked that essen
tial stability which the Romans SO
much valued. 1t was estranging. Ro-
man adaptability made it a medium of
( empire, but never with the viking spir-
observance Review.

Whittier at Close Rance.

Whittier belonged to those natures
who would advance With irmness and
JOY to martyrdom in IL good cause, but
are never comfortable in society, and
who impress IL with the idea that
they would like to run out of the door
at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the
society Of congenial friends as did the
Quaker poet. No IL relished a good
story more or related one with better
grace. His sense of the ludicrous was
very vivid. and the absurdities of life
and it's situations struck him never
more forcibly than when they involved
himself. AS Whittier's nephew and
%biographer has asserted, it would be a
mistake to suppose that gentleness was
a necessity Of his nature. His was in
reality the result Of resolute self con.
troll and the habitual government of a
tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet
had his shrewd, assertive and almost
vindictive side, else he had been
so successful a politician and reform
er. = Caroline Ticknor in Harper's
Weekly.
