"How to live to be eighty-six and

might be the title of letter written
by Samuel r. Haywood, president of
the well known Haywood Boot & Shoe
company of Worcester, Mass, to his

Mr.. Haywood is an exceptional man.
He is eighty-six, hale hearty and erect.
Each day he is at his desk personally
directing the affairs of shoe factory
which turns out a thousand pairs of
shoes a day.
1t was for this reason that Mr. Dur
land recently wrote his eastern friend
asking him something of the manner
of life which had left him a healthy,
active business man at eighty-six.
This is Mr.. Heywood's answer:
I have your letter of December 80.

HALF COMPANY MKORFO[K
NORFOLK YOUNG MEN TO JOIN
THE STANTON MILITIA.
FOUR SQUADS OF THE COMPANY
Twelve Have Already Sienified Their
Intention Of Enistins and There is
Room for Twenty.three More-Nor
folk Section Of Thirty.five Men.

The plan to organize four squads of
the Stanton militia company in Nor
folk which has been under considera.
ton for several weeks, is to be carried
through at once. Chris Anderson,
who is already a member of Company
B, the Stanton company, has charge of
the organization or the Norfolk end of
the Stanton organization.
In canvassing for names twelve
young men have already been secured.
In addition to the twelve who have
already signified their intention of en-
listing in the national guard in ac-
cordance with the new plan, twenty
three other militiamen are needed to
fill out the four squads desired.
These names will probably be secured
from the men who were to become
members of the militia company which
was to have been organized here last
summer.
The organization of four squads of
the Stanton company in Norfolk will
put about half the company in Norfolk.
The Norfolk section will consist of
thirty-five men, twenty-eight enlisted
men, four corporals, two sergeants
and a musician.
When the prospects for a Norfolk
militia company did not look very
good last fall the scheme was laid
aside. Believing, however, that half
company is better than no company
at all, the new scheme was proposed
and has found favor.

GRACE CAMERON PLEASED
MOST HEARTILY APPLAUDED
PLAY OF THE SEASON.
GREETED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
Miss Cameron and Her Company in
Little Dolly Dimpes," Were Ac.
cepted as One of the Best Big Opera
Companies Here This Season.

Grace Cameron, coming to Norfolk
with her "two act musical playlet in
terspersed with udeville"-"Little
Dollie Dimples," was welcomed to the
Auditorium Saturday evening by the
largest audience of the season and
the welcome that Miss Cameron re-
ceived as a Nebraska girl and on &C
count of her Norfolk connections was
soon overshadowed by the spontaneous
welcome given to Grace Cameron the
actress. She won her place almost in
stantly. Norfolk was first amused, more
than amused, at Miss Cameron as the
naughty country miss untrammeled by
conventionalities, then startled at the
actresses sudden turn from rare com
edy to her tragic, heart breaking little
song, Good Bye, Old Home" and fin
ally fascinated as Miss Cameron burst
out on the stage as a French maid,
who was yet Dolly Dimples afterall.
Norfolk, it is said, was the smallest
town in which the Grace Cameron
company was booked this year. In
cidently it is probable that no city
has Little Dollie Dimples" been given
with more dash and vim than in Nor
folk where it was apparent that the
show folks had entered into the spirit
of the welcome accorded Miss Gamer
on.
1t was difficult task that Miss
Cameron in Dolly Dimples" and AL
Lawrence in "Hiram Skinner" at
tempted, the lifting of the stage worn
characters, the wild country girl and
the unspeakable youth, out of the rut
of the ordinary rural comedy, but
Miss Cameron and Mr.. Lawrence prov
ed their cleverness by their success.
Little Dollie Dimples" is frankly
without plot or thread of story save
in the engaging personality that Miss
Cameron puts into Dolly Dimples. 1t
is in Dolly Dimples that the "playlet"
has its unity and conference.
No comic opera that has visited
Norfolk has so frankly smacked of
the eastern vaudeville stage, where
the new" vaudeville has outbid the
legimate field in its efforts to secure
talent and cleverness. OF the company
which supported Miss Cameron many
had the accomplishments of the east
ern vaudeville stage and their parts
were blended with the run of the play
in way that delighted the big audi
ence in the Auditorium.
Will Philbrick scored one of the
real hits of the evening. Philbrick
and the chorus in Good Bye Jennie
Jones" were called back time after
time. "No One Dreams About Me"
was the plant of Florence Langdon
Tempest who shared honors with
Philbrick.
The choruses were we'll trained, with
a masculine chorus that was some
thing of an innovation. In dancing the
Cardownie sisters were pretty feat
ureS.
Little Dollie Dimples" was accept
ed by the audience almost with I'M
animity as one of the very best Of the
big comic opera companies which have
visited Norfolk. And it was the most
heartily applauded play of the year.
