a feast" but anyone enjoying the sat
isfying performances Of AL. W. Mar
tins company at the Bennington
opera house, Thursday Dec. 10, will
gladly stand for all that is coming to
him.
When the average theauegoer
reads an announcement that an
Uncle Toms Cabin" will appear at
such a theatre, he is apt to note the
same with a smile and some sage re-
marks regarding ancient history,
resurrection, etc, yet in nine cases
out of ten, when the night arrives for
the production of the play, he will be
found patiently waiting his turn at
the box-ofiice with n "circus come to
town" expression on his face. his
family in tow, or if not possessed of
such a blessing, he has probably Dor
rowed several babies for the oecas-
ion to lend dignity to his coming He
can't resist seeing the play again and
again. He likes to feel his brain ex-
cited, his imagination fred by the in
cidents as depicted on the stage.
Uncle Toms Cabin" as a story is
old yet ever new, having the same
charm to enchain the reader, the
same power for exciting the wonder
full curiosity of the children as in the
olden time, and will for ages to come
occupy a niche in memory's pages
side by side with the never to be for

Taste Is Localized.

Taste is curiously localized in the
mouth. Put lump of sugar on the
tip OF your tongue and you will find it
distinctly sweet. All sweet or aro-
matte substances, such as wine, sugar
and coffee, can be properly appreci-
ated by the front half of the tongue. a
piece of knowledge that every true
connoisseur applies when he sips in
stead of taking a mouthful. With
most other substances, however, the
reverse is true. In these cases the
tip of the tongue serves only for touch
ing-it is the back part that tastes
The sides of the mouth. too, are quite
insensible to certain substances not
tasteless Put some salt or vinegar

BAD BOY FOOLED OLD LADY
Got Away with Toy and Left Helper
in Somewhat Embarrassing
Situation.

When a kind old lady. in walking
along a residence street. beheld q
small boy struggling vainly to reach
something between the gratings OF a
tall iron fence surrounding a palaual
residence, she paused to watch his op-
erations The object of his quest she
discovered to be a handsome mechan-
ical toy, an automobile that would run
when wound up. The boy had stick
with which he was trying to pull the
machine toward him, but as he could
barely reach it, the struggle was we'll
nigh hopeless.
Let me try it." said the old lady.
"My arm is longer than yours"
''AIl right" replied the youngster,
reIinquishing the stick.
Getting down on her knees the old
lady, by dint of much stretching and
careful manipulation. gradually worked
the machine toward the fence and at
last had the satisfaction of seeing the
little boy grasp it with eager fingers.
Now" she said, you must be more
careful and not let it get away with
you again"
Gee" said the boy, 1T never got
away from me, an it amt goin' 10
neither"
"Wh-wh-why," fa1tered the old lady
with the dawning of horrible sus-
picion Isn't it yours?"
You bet it's mine now" said the
kid and away he scampered, leaving
the good old lady alone with her con-
science.

HENS NEST FOUND IN TREE
Blddy's Home Not Discovered Until

When he left the hen was among
the missing, and he asked Mr.. Bailey,
his son-in-law, who took charge of the
farm, to watch for her. A search
was made. but he was unable to find
her hiding place until the other day.
Where an old ladder was inclined
against the trunk of an old cherry tree
Mr.. Bailey noticed two chicks several
days old at the base and running
about peeping, While wondering
where they came from he was sur
prised to see the hen fly from the fork
or the tree and come to the relief of
her offspring. Further investigation
revealed the nest in the tree, together
with seven more peeps and an un-
hatched egg, which proved to be rot
ten.
The chicks on the ground had fallen
from the nest, which had been formed
by lot of brush and old leaves de-
posted there by the elements during
the fall and winter months. Mrs. Hou-
dan and her happy family have been
provided with better quarters and are

WE'RE THRIFTLESS
SAYS NOTED Divine
Cardinal Gibbons Ayers The
People Nowadays Want
Too Many Luxuries
TSpeeial Dispatch TO The Cali

BALTIMORE, Sept. Sin an interview
today upon the causes of various kinds
of unrest prevailing in this country at
present Cardinal Gibbons. who is to
leave here Wednesday to attend the
euchartstic congress in Montreal. said
that much of the unrest which is ham
pering the progress of the country was
due to the too common lack of economy
by the present generation and to the
desire for too many luxuries and ex-
travagances.
THE people believe" he said, that
they must have autos, must go to the
theaters, must have various kinds of
amusements and must have many
things more or less expensive without
which their fathers and grandfathers
got along well enough and prospered.
The desire prevents a sensible con-
servation of the peoples resources.
Then, too, throughout the United
States there is today continuous net
work of syndicates and trusts, of COM
panies and partnerships, so that every
operation. from the construction of a
Seviathan steamship to the manufac
ture of a needle, is controlled by cor
poration.
when corporations thus combine il
is quite natural that mechanics and
laborers should follow their example.
There is continuous unrest between
the employed and the employer, and IT
would be most beneficial if this condt-
ton could be overcome There should
not and need not be any conflict be-
tween labor and capital, since both are
necessary for the public good and the
one depends on the cooperation OF the
other.

The Montreal Gazette reports that
on account of the success of the night
lettergram system in the United States
the Great Northwestern and Canadian
Pacific telegraph companies applied the
service to all points in Canada on
March 13. This means that the two
companies will accept night letters for
transmission to any of their connec-
tions in Canada or the United States
for delivery the following morning.
Under this rule, night letter of so
words or less can be sent at the rate
regularly charged for 10 word mes
sage, with charge of one-fifth the day
rates for each additional two words.
The ordinary mailing service, with the
long distances in Canada and the
United States, may mean a delay of
several days, while by this system let
ters will be on the desks of the recipi-
ents the morning OF the night on which
they are handed in at the telegraph
offices. whether the recipients live in

OILMEN DEMAND
PROMPT APPEALS
Fear Unweildy Committee May
Balk Action in Bakersfield
Company Case
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI


BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 5.-In analyz-
ing the action taken at yesterdays
mass meeting of oil operators, quite a
division of opinion appears to exist
among the most influential interests as
to the benefits to be attained. Some
adverse criticism was expressed against
the Capitalization of authority in what
was considered to be an unweildy dis
trict committee, the fear being voiced
that this would not result in the prompt
action which the situation seems to
demand.
1t was pointed out that less than 10
days remain in which an appeal can be
taken from the decision of the commits
sion In the Bakersfield fuel and oil
company case, which has vital bear
ing on the status of the oil men before
the interior department
Ihe one thing which stands out pre-
em1nently in the situation is the fact
that there are no federal laws directly
governing the location and prospecting
for oil and that such laws as have been
enacted to control the placer mining
for metals can not possibly be con-
strued to meet the situation in which
the o1lmen now find themselves, and
that to obtain the necessary legislation
1t VIII first be necessary to obtain a
better understanding with the execu-
tive branch of the government in order
to draft intelligent laws to meet the
exigency.
