Why He Didn't Know Him.

did you ever notice." remarked the
man who always notices, "in how
many suburban towns the railroad
serves not only as means Of trans
portation, but rs a dividing line So
cially?
"The reason? Why, l dare say 1t Is
founded on the fact that land on one
side Of the railroad is generally more
desirable for residence than on the
other Therefore it commands bet
ter price, and that section Of the popu-
lation is apt to be bit more select.
Il asked n friend today, for example,
whether he knew certain person who
was newcomer in his town. No.

FATE OF A STAGE PRODIGY.
Master Betty, Who, II Appears, Over
STAYED His Welcome.

Master Betty, Who, II Appears, Over
stayed His Welcome.
It may interest readers to know
that rather over 100 years ago-in
1907, to be precise-the country
was worshiping at the shrine OF a
twelre-year-old prodigy, boy actor
the juvenile Henry Irving Of his
time. says the Glasgow Mail. While
at the height of his fame and pop
ularity this infantile marvel visited,
among other places, Glasgow and
Edinburgh, and in both OF these
towns be is said to have created
hitherto undreamt of sensation.
The wonderful youngsters name
was William Henry West Betty, and
he was Irish to the backbone. His
histrionic capabilities were evident
ly born with him, for it is recorded
that when at the age of eight his
father treated him to his first visit
to the theater young Betty at the
conclusion of the play solemnly in
formed his parent that he had de-
cided to be an actor himself.
How the youngster subsequently
came to get a footing on the stage
is not known, but in the month of
August, 1903, we find him making
his first appearance, performing the
leading part in a popular drama at a
Belfast theater. he leaped at one
bound into the very forefront of
popularity, and it is said that on
one occasion when he turned i'll the
whole nation awaited with feverish
anxiety the different bulletins
which were regularly issued to tell
of young Betty's condition.
The boys first appearance in
Glasgow, which happened in May,
1904, created unparalleled enthusi-
asm in the city during the several
nights he performed in the now
long defunct Dunlop Street theater.
The enormous crowds that focked
to see the wonderful boy were un-
precedented in the theatrical histo-
ry of st. Mungo, and hundreds, it
is said, were nightly injured in the
great crush and desperate struggle
for admission to the theater. In
Edinburgh, where the boy actor
afterward appeared, the same enor-
NOUS ara&ds -rushed=tasee him. To
quote from one Of the local papers
criticisms, he "set the town in a
fame" His subsequent appearance
at the world famous Drury Lane
completed the prodigy's triumph,
for it was not long before the me-
tropolis also succumbed to young
Betty's magnetic acting.
But Master Betty's stage success
was comparatively short lived. In
the course of a few years he-or
his parents compiled an immense
fortune, and with the wealth thus
speedily accumulated the young ac-
tor was given the chance of a first
class education. When out of his
teens the glamour of the footlights
again appeared to have appealed to
him, and he again made a bid to
regain his position as a popular
idol. By this time, however, the
people had quite forgotten their
former hero, and young Betty had
to rest content with only very or
dinary degree of success. He had,
so to speak, overstayed his welcome.

UsELEssNEss OF VIOLENCE

1t is useless to preach the wrong of
violence to men inflamed with passion
and stung with sense Of injustice. The
only rational appeal is demonstra-
tion of its uselessness in society un-
der rule OF law. Unless such society
is to be resolved into anarchy and
the rule of the strongest, the best
cause is sacrificed by resort to
violence.
Two extreme cases are presented OF
combination of the many weak to
obtain what they think justice from
the strong few, one In the most con.
gested population of New York, the
other In the tobacco fields of Ken
lucky. Ore has been ruled by violence
almost from the first and has lost
ground daily. The other Is drifting
into 1t and begins to loose the gain
II made by peaceful self-assertion.
Dwellers in uenament houses of the
east side are ground between decline
Of employment and Continued high
cost OF living. They cannot wait fol
the inevitable reimbursement by which
the latter follows the former. They
have combined to reduce the most
formidable expense bya strike against
the monstrous rents OF that oyel
crowded region.
They were making fair headwa.

and had obtained some concessions, In
spite of the heavy fixed charges of
landlords, when socialist agitators be-
trayed them into demonstrations OF
violence under the red flag and con.
tiict with the forces OF order.
1t is impossible not to sympathize
with the tobacco growers OF Kentucky
and Virginia in their fight with the
tobacco trust. 1t Is like the long
fight Of the crude oil producers with
the Standard, except for the powerful
trust agency of the pipe line. The
producers OF tobacco combined law
full to reduce production and lock up
their produce. But they repelled
sympathy by violent constraint of
persons unwilling or unable to join
them and by wanton destruction OF
property.
They have made their just cause a
mere question of social order, to be
settled by the militia as that of the
east side is to be settled by the police.

KITTRlDGE THE FAvORITE
Prominent South Dakotan Predicts
His Return to Washington

Says the Washington Herald: K.
III. Wilson, of Salem, S. d., who Is
one of the leading lawyers of the
state and a pioneer, has been visiting
in Washington for several days, after
a trip to his old home in Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Wilson has not been in
Washington since 1880, when he came
to see President Harrison inaugural
ed. He saw the President and had a
talk with Taft.
81 was much impressed with Secre-
tary Taft, :" said Mr.. Wilson last night.
'He appears to me to to be big,
broad gagged man. i felt like calling
him BIZ when | left him. told
him | would do all Icould to get the
delegates from South Dakota for
him.
II have enjoyed my visit to Wash
ington very much," Mr.. Wilson con-
tinued, especially as have heard
so many fine things about my friend
Senator A. B. Kittredge, of our state.
We have lively fight on for the sem
atorship and | wanted to find out
what the peope here thought Of Kit
tridge-right here where he does his
work i'm the senate.
"Well, | was more than pleased
when learned that all the Wash
ington people and the senator's and
representatives, consider Senator
Kittridge one of the strongest men
iii the senate. In the departments
they told me that Kittridge is one of
the men who is doing things, VINO has
made great name for himself for In
dustry, ability and character. They
told me that out Of the ninety-two
senators there are Cs:ly about twenty
five who do the work and have the
influence and that Kittridge is one of
the leaders of the younger men in that
number.
II am taking that message back to
our people. We go under primary
law this year in our state for the
first time. The primaries held In
March will select the delegates to the
national conventions and the June
primaries will select all the candi-
dates TO be voted for i'm the general
elections i'm the fall. Senator Kit
fridge comes up for reelection at
those June primaries, and, OF course
the March primaries will have bear
ing on the result. His opponent is
the present governor, Coe l. Craw-
ford. There is much opposition to
Crawford for various local reasons,
including large number of promises
of what he was going to do, made be-
fore election and never redeemed.
Il have no doubt that Senator Kit
fridge will sweep the state and be tri-
umphantly returned to the senate. !
am sure Of it, from my knowledge of
our people. kittridge is very popu-
lar in the state, and is held In high
regard for his character and ability.
South Dakota is proud OF the leading
part he Is taking here, and South
Dakota will send him back, and, also,
South Dakota will send to congress
again former representatives Burke
and Martini"
