"Kidnaped for Revenge"

When a playwright can put one or
more elements of human interest in a
play and stage il, his play seldom
fails. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Charles z. Blaney has probably struck
truer to the core of human interest as
it is manifested by. the theat going
people than any other playwright of
the day i'm the melodramatic field. His
plays have a swing and dash, an air of
excitement, and are at the same time
sc delightfully."- humorous in spots that
they have been uniformly successful.

ing cousin. Lady Rowena Eggington,
and an Irish barOnet, Sir Brian Bally-

apparently about to win the young

or the characters, the locale being the
knights room at Beechwood Towers,

with his title. He is about the only
person who doesn't seem to be i'm

transported back some seven hundred
odd years, when he. of all of the char
acters, retains his modern personality.
The development of this dream makes
the second act of the play, and every
one the audience has met IN the first
act is introduced as their own previ-
Gus existence. Sir Guys aunt becomes
an abbess; his vicar a gray friar; his
cousin, a novice; his butler. a senes-

Pain is always symptom of injury.
Gripping means that the physic is harsh
that it irritates.
You injure the bowels when you seek

The bowel lining like the sk;n-be-

The hardened lining retards the natural

And the calloused bowels demand

Such physic is wrong. 1t is wicked.
1t destroys the very functions that you

dams asked Gods blessing on the
feast. When night came they had
a good time, playing games of all
kinds. The Indians had such a good
time that they did not go home for
three days.
But it was not all sunshine for the
Pilgrims. There was a time when
they had very little food to eat. 1t
was summer, and the corn would not
be ripe for many months. They
caught fish, dug CLANS and shared
game. Some nights many of them
did not know where to find food when
the morning came. The children
pleaded for bread, but it was not to
be had. Five grains of corn was all
boy had for his meal, besides a clam
or crab. Strong men became faint
for want of food. But they would not
give up, for they had trusted in God.
They thanked God for giving that
much for their feast.

Many years ago the Pilgrims came
to this country. They came in a
small ship called the Mayfower. 1t
brought a brave band of men. They
first landed in a place called Cape
Cod. A brave soldier and his little
band of men landed first. They were
looking for a good place for their new
home In one place they saw that
the ground had been dug up. They
began to dig, and what do you sup
pose was hidden in the ground? 1t
was an Indian basket of corn. 1t was
placed there by the Indians. This
was the first time they had seen corn.
They took some of the corn with them
to plant in the spring. This brave
soldier and his men made many trips

grims did not live to see the bright
days of spring. At last the cold,
blighting winter was over. The sing
ing birds came back from the warm
south. The trees and the grass be-
gan to turn green. Then the Pilgrims
planted their corn. They worked
hard all summer, and when autumn
came they had a fine harvest. Every
day they gave thanks to God for His
blessings. One day they said: God
has been good to us; let us set one
I day apart and have a big Thanksgiv-
ing feast"
What do you think they had for
that big feast? The mothers made
pies from the pumpkins and cakes
and bread from the corn. The faith
ers went hunting in the woods and
came home with all the turkeys they
wanted for the feast. Some of the
men went to the shore and brought
CLANS and fish. They asked the In
dams to come to the feast. On the
day of the feast the Indians came
dressed in their best skins. They
brought five big, fat deer. Before

MIR. EIcHELBERGER OPTIMISTIC

This paper is recently in receipt of
a letter from Mr.. A. L. Eichelberger.
He is now living at No. Oakland
avenue, Atlanta. His health and that
of his family is excellent.
He says that he is satisfied that
times will be better, money more
plentiful and confidence will be re-
stored soon after Mr.. Taft is inagu-
rated. He thinks that greater en-
terprises will be launched than for
years past and when the Panama
canal is completed and a canal cut
across the peninsular of Florida the
great trade between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans will be conveyed by
this route.
Mr. Eichelberger says that he
visited old Panama when he was
twenty years of age. The city was
then surrounded by a rock wall
twenty feet high and fifteen feet wide
1t had but one entrance, an iron gate
fifteen feet in width sufficiently
strong to withstand any attack from
an enemy with the then implements
Of war. But what attracted him most
was the beautiful Castilian senoritas.
He says that history says that Pana-
ma was settled by the Spanish nobil-
ity, who fed from their homes in
Spain during the Thirty Years War
In 1S48 Capt. Walker, who was
called the Bloody Buccaneer of the
Pacific Ocean" burned the town,
almost destroying it.
Mr.. Eichelberger says that when
he was there the most delicious oran-
ges were selling very cheap and he
never forgot them and it led finally
to his planting an orange grove In
Florida, the first grove planted for
profit in this state, perhaps, and
which led to one of the most valuable
industries of Florida.
Though in the "sear and yellow
leaf" Mr. Eichelberger writes hope
fully of getting his cotton claim and
ending his days in luxuriant ease.
