The splendid comedy work Of Mr..
Hockey. who played Lord Fancourt Bah
berly (Fanny Babbs) who despite his own
pleasure. assumes the role Of Charley's $
aunt from Brazil where the nuts come
from. when at the last moment the real
lady telegraphs that she cannot visit her
nephew in college that day. Mr.. Hockey's S
performance was remarkably fresh, piqu-
ant and free from even the slightest SEM
blance Of vulgarity; his comedy was keen,
piercing and kept the audience in one
long continuous roar.
The remaining parts were excellently
well handled, and beautiful and exceed
ingly pleasing performance all round sent
the audience home in high good humor
pleased with themselves at having en-
joyed such a pleasant eevning's entertain

Accom- Odatfng.

Some years ago. says a Boston law
yer, "a man in Nantucket was tried
for petty offense and sentenced to
four months in jail. A few days after
the trial the judge who had imposed
sentence, in company with the sheriff,
was on his way to the Boston boat,
when they passed a man busily en-
gagged in saving wood.
THE man stopped his work, touch
ed his hat politely and said Good
morning, your honor
THE judge, after a careful survey
Of the mans face, asked:
Isn't that the man I sentenced to
jail few days ago."
YES replied the sheriff, with some
hesitation, that's the man. The fact
is, judge, we-er-we don't happen to
have anybody else in jail just now,
so we thought 1t would be sort of
useless expense to hire some one to
keep the Jail four months just for this
one man. So I gave him the jail key
and told him 1t would be all right If
he'd sleep there o nights - Harper's

the stalks of a corn-f1eld.
When we awoke, the flashes of the
Russian guns were playing. Drowsily
we rolled out of our blankets with the
comprehension that the artillery fire
was going on, as 1t had yesterday, and
that we were hungry and there was
no breakfast in sight. Probably the
artillery fire would go on forever;
probably there were no soft beds and
no square meals anywhere in the
world
AS we dressed, Collins broke in
with:

Life Imprisonment for the man.
twenty-five years besides fine for
the woman-such penalties will be
universally regarded as none too
heavy for the kidnapers of Willie
Whitla, or, indeed, for any kidnap-
ers who try to gain money In this
cruelest of ways. The woman tries
to gain sympathy by pointing to the
whitening of her youth in the grim
walls of the prison. No whitening of
strong life Is pleasant to contemplate,
but 1t is better that this woman with
Or in confinement than that mothers
and fathers, deprived Of their chill
dren, should suffer worse pains, and
the children themselves should be ex-
posed to the evils which too often fol-
low such crimes. The man tries to
gain sympathy by pointing to an in
stigator of the crime in the very fam
lily of the victim. He only succeeds
in making one fact sure, and that Is
that he himself was q blackma1ler be-
fore he became kidnaper. He puts
himself in all tho worse light If
some other person was accessory or
principal in this crime the full pen
atty for him Is also desirable, but
that does not affect the justice of the
present convictions. The effective
work of the police in catching the
criminals and the speedy administra-
ton of justice by the Pennsylvania
courts are both deserving of praise.
The police are the more to be praised
because they acted not in co-opera-
ton with but against the efforts of a
father whose love for his boy explains
but does not excuse his disregard for
the interests of all other children in
his haste to compound with crime.
The result of the Whitla case should
be not an incentive to other crimes of
the sort, as appeared probable before
the criminals were captured, but a
distinct encouragement to would-be
emulators. In so far 1t has been a
social benefit.

Of comfort and repose. We need to be
reminded that the common house fly
also Is not a mere disturber Of the
morning rest, but is often the carrier
Of contagion. 1t has not been shown
that the fly, like the fever bearing
mosquitoes, harbors pathogenic para
sites. His mode of operation is more
simple. He simply picks up disease
germs on his busy feet and transfers
them to our food. His habits are
nasty, and the places he frequents may
be infected with we know not what.
So when the fly comes buzzing from
meat and vegetables and fruit spread
out in the market, or upon the kitch-
en- table, he is to be looked upon as an
enemy. It is established by observa-
ton that epidemics Of typhoid fever
In camps, for example, have been due
to the infection Of food by flies, and
while this particular danger may not
be frequently present in town, 1t is
one to be remembered-at least as
reminder that the warfare against flies
is a serious matter. The careful
screening Of windows and doors is
probably the most effective means OF
immediate protection, but the same
persistent care against whatever will
