to the breaking point--able to clench naughty, naughty words, is almost equivalent to tying down the safely valve on boiler that threatens to burst from over-crowded steam. But if you can dam back the flood instead of damning- everything and every body in the neighborhood. you will be a real hero.
 To hear a nfan nonchaiantiy and flu. ently reel off yard after yard of the latest up-to-date oaths in the course or ordinary conversation very naturally makes the blood of the innocent by stander, who is not accustomed to that line of talk. run cold. The great trouble with the oaths which are so popular among men is that they are harsh sounding and grate on the ear, unless the eardrum has become 4cal- loused to them by long repetition. No oath which can think of sts eupho- nious or musical--ft dosn't possess the thrill anl lilt of q birds song-it snoa- sesses volume. but 1t lacks harmony, and for this reason alone it seems to me that the swear words of commences should have no place in our language.

others arms of love. A chatter of horses hoofs. the voices of men and the barking. of, blood hounds are heard from q distance. The frenzied entrance or old nanny Jimmy, with an incoher- ent appeal for her son Joe, is not needed to inform the audience that a black assailant of a white girl is be- ing hunted through the woods to be burned alive. Joe crawls in from the bushes and falls at the lovers feet, a pftifui heap of helpless terror Phi has no sympathy with negro monster. who destroy Southern women; yet he is sheriff of the county, a nominee for Governor of the State, and he thinks 1t is his official duty to lodge this covering. wretch in jail.
 The attempt is futile. though. for the lynehezs, led by the dead girls father, seize the prisoner drag him out of sight, struggling and screeching; and then flare of light with his shrieks of dread dying away in piteous groans of pain, makes the audience shrink and shiver. Phil deplores his inability to enforce the law.
 Don't feel so badly about 1t, dear his sweetheart says soothingIy, "al- though dreadful. it Is right-and, af- ter all. he's only a nigger."
 As you see. the author of "The Mig ger" wealthy and still boyish New Yorker. Edward Sheldon. sets forth the problem of Southern lynchings, clear ly and without prejudice.

 Bush and Peyscr Is a team of male pantomimists who are skilled acrobats as we'll as splendid comedians. They run the gamut of absurdities and their absurd antics keep the crowds con vuised with laughter. They have ec- centric makeups, and their doings are as eccentric as their costumes. It Is a scream even to look at them, and they are bound to be winning mbination to all who are looking for pure and unadulterated fun. S4
 There are all kinds of ventriloquists but there is only one Johnston.

Al ter seeing his exhibition no one in the audience will deny his claim to this title. Arthur Prince mot excepted and Arthur Prince gets $1,000 per week salary.
 Howley and Leslie are a man and woman team of singers. dancers and character fmpersonators. Miss Leslie does a little green country girl who has been kissed for the first time. and 1t Is about as funny characterization as one could ever expect to see. The singing and dancing of the pair does not elicit special attention. but the green little country girl number is a pearl of great price and the best thing on the vaudeville market.
 The usual motion photographs have been selected with the view to give both pleasure and instruction. The subject fs a comedy one but it points a moral and adorng a tale." There will be matinees each afternoon at 3 o'clock. especially for the ladies and children. and at s:30 o'clock every night.

BY FRANKLIN FYLEs.

New. York. Dec. 10.-(Speciai. }--A newspaper dispatch from any Southern town read as follows without causing surprise: "A negro named Joe White was Iynched tonight on the planta- tfon known as Morrow's Rest. Joe had assaulted a young white girl and she had died of her injuries. Her fa- ther led mob of the .neighbors with bloodhounds and tracked the fugitive to the Morrow place. Sheriff Philip Morrow tried to lodge the negro ip jail. but the lynchers took him from the officers. tied him to a tree and burned him to death."
 A private letter right give these ad- dittonal particulars without arousing any amusement or incredulity: ''The lynching of negro here. about which you may have read. has been followed by no arrests. although the lynchers did not try to hide their identity. The best people approve the death penalty as thus dreadfuily inflicted. The as- saulted girl was delicate. refined and only IS. The nigger was a lazy bum mer and drunk at the time of his crime. Even his mother. a good old nanny, once a slave in the Morrow family. accepts his death at the stake as matter of course. Folks at the north have no idea of the prevailing sentiment on this awful subject at the South"
 Which goes to prove that the first act of The Nigger," Is true to life. The scene Is in the dower garden at Morrow's Rest. Young Phil Morrow is rounding up his courtship of pretty Georgiana, in the light and shadows of the moon shining through foliage, with Q bstrothal that places them in each

GOING OUT OF FASHION.
Man Who Uses "Cuss- -Words' Prae'
 ticaIIy Confesses He's No Scholar.

Man who Uses "Cuss-wordss Prae-
 ticaIIy Confesses He's No Scholar. Boston Post.
 When I say that a man, under great stress, can express himself without be- ing profane am merely voicing the advanced thought of our greatest thinkers.
 It has not been so very long ago when 1t was believed to be impossible for man to clearly define his position. under provocating circumstances, with out swearing. but 1t Is the consensus of opinion among those who know that nowadays it can be done. The vast wealth of words in the English lam gnage. the many thousands of meaning makes 1t possible for man who is conversant with our language to express himself volubiy and com prehensively without resorting to the Dictionary of Cuss- W ords."
 Indeed, for a gentleman nowadays to be caught red-handed tearing off bitter oaths by the yard when he is angry or irritated Is for him to admit that while he may be e gentleman he is>no scholar. because if he were pos- sessed even with meagre knowledge of the English tongue he could express himself without being profane. When ever you hear a man purging his system of passwords which lend to the atmosphere about him an azure haze and leave in his wake the odor of birthstone you can put 1t down in your little note book that his ignorance of English is appalling.
 Some men swear merely for pastime their tongues trip as lightly over the most terrible paths in the course of ordinary conversation as sparkling water trips and ripples over the smoothly worn stones in the bed of a brook. They seem to have at their tongues end every word in the ''Lexi- con of Swears." and they lose no op-

portunity to inject the most blood curdIing oaths into their quiet con- versation.
 It Is no pleasure to listen to such man talk-he never says anything worth listening to-eliminate the swear words from his vaporings and there is nothing left that you want to take away with you and treasure up In your memory.
 Every day you meet profane men. and if they are criticised for their profanity they offer as an excuse that the habit of swearing has become with them fixed one and for that reason they cannot control it; they will tell you with the utmost sang froid that the oaths slip cut of their mouths be- fore they know 1t. But have you ever noticed if there Is lady present they have no difficulty whatever in con- versing without swearing, orVhave you ever noticed that these same men don't swear in their own homes in the presence of their wives and children? Among their male acquaintances they are clustering blasphemers always. but in the presence of a woman or in the bosoms of their families butter wouldn't melt in their mouths and the words drip from their lips like honey.
 Under great stress. in the face of provocation in moments of anger the temptation to break forth into tor rent of profanity is for many difficult to overcome, and there is more ex- cuse for a man swearing under these circumstances than there is for sand wiching indecent language into. the conversation when he is calm and in repose.
 Blessed be he, however. who is able to overcome this temptation--blesse be he who can say "oh, shucksi" or Land sakes!" or Mercy. mercy!" or wen, TIT De ejiggered!" and let it go at that. To be able to hold your self. down when your temper fs bent

 This Is bill of top-notchers. With out exception any act on this program for next week could be legitimately installed as special feature.
 The truly great comedy sketch, The < Slave" will be presented by that ador- ahie. artiste. Bernice Howard. assisted by three capable performers. Miss Howard will hold the position of top- notcher on this weeks bill, and will : certainly score decided hit.
