1000 TEARS TIE S1.OO EACH.

Every day for three years, youth
employed by a smelter in Colorado
stole $1.OO in gold.
He wanted to get married The girl
understood. She helped him guard his
steaLings They decided that they
needed $1,000 for a start in married
life.
Of course, they got caught-just as
they had gathered together the sum-
Now it is prison cell for the youth
and probably for the girl, for the of
ficers found the gold in her possession
1t is too bad that such energy was
misdirected. The patience with which
the gold was taken, dollar by dollar
never more and never less, was worthy
of better purpose.
Suppose this youth and this girl
had forgotten their dream of a 1000
nest egg. Suppoe they just loved each
other enough to sacrifice, to do with
out what that sum would buy and
fought out the problem of living.
They might have saved that dollar
day, had they tried as persistently
to ave as they did to steal.
The girl might have had more wrin-
kles Perhaps she might have been
compelled to wear calico instead of
dreaming of silks.
She might have had to sacrifice
some of the pretty things, might have
had to bear the pity of ''friends"
who would have told her that she was
a fool for marrying poor man.
But her eye would have sparkled
with pride as she went out at evening
TO meet an honest man, not a thief
His embrace would have had no in
ner tension of fear or guilt. And the
endwould have been a home, not pris-
on cell.
And if anyone believes that old
adage "honesty is the best policy

"GRAUSTARK.''

An attraction of unusual interest
will be presented at the Grand Un We'd
nesday evening, Sept %, when "Graus
tark'' will be seen for the first time
in this city. Dramatized by Geo. d.
Baker from George Barr McCutcheon IS
novel of the same name, it is a clean
cut, clever and interesting play of love
and intrigue, and abounds with sensa-
tions and thrilling climaxes It is a
romantic drama of the higher order
that appeals to all classes, pleasing the
most exacting patron of the theatre,
because there is a touch of romance
tucked away in every living mortal,
and one is charmed by it's sweetness
and the true ring of human nature in
every line and situation. So intensely
dramatic is this play that one is cleo
trifed by each climax, and the actors
and actresses who portray the princi-
pal characters are given curtain call
after curtain call.

sve Interpretation of the difficult role,
and Mr.. Charles Barting as "Lorry'
has been commended for his portrayal
of the daring American. The entire
cast is an exceedingly strong one and
embraces the names of several artists
who seldom leave the Broadway thea
tres.
The production is personally staged
by Mr.. James w Castle, and is lavish
ly mounted; it's magnitude can be i'm
agined when one realizes that it takes
a sixty-foot car to transport its seen

the State of Arkansas and who was
convicted at the June term of the Cir

Imprisonment and a fine of two hun

he has served his sentence and is total
ly unable to pay the fine and costs.
We further state that Mr. Ganaway
is in such a condition as to render it
impossible for him to work out his fine
an costs as required by law on account
of his physical and mental condition,
he being a total wreck and wholly un-
able to do any character of work re
quired by the State. His people are
perfectly insolvent and have no means
out of which to arise the fine and costs.
Tt is their desire to take him back to

physical treatment, which can be had
in the charitable institutions of that
State. He was convicted of charge
of assault and battery with intent to
kill and the party assaulted is now well
and received only slight injuries.

Peary Abroad.

It is difficult not to contrast the high
honor In which Commander Peary, the
discoverer of the north pole, is being re-
ceived abroad with the measure OF in
difference and lukewarmth which his
wonderful achievement has been accord
ed in his own nation. Everywhere in
Europe Commander Peary has been the
object of marked enthusiasm whenever
he has appeared, and a disposition is
shown to greet with honor the man
who succeeded in getting TO the top O.
the world. The Royal Geographical So
ciety of England considered itself hon.
ored in having the distinguished Ameri-
can for guest; the English newspapers
and scientific journals have been filled
with praise for the difficult task so well
accomplished And sthere is not even a
suspicion Of envy because it was an
American who succeeded where so many
Britons have failed.
In this country, Of course. the unfor-
tunate controversy with DR.. Cook, who
made prior claim 10 the discovery of the
north pole did much to dim the glory
of Commander Peary's exploit; but the
silence and disappearance of DR.. Cook. in
the face Of ugly charges, should have
settled in the public mind which OF the
two men was the more worthy.

The Advertising Columns.

There is a paper in Texas called the
Merton Star. in which is found the fol-
lowing apt and sensible paragraph:
There Is hardly an issue of the Star
in which you could not save the price OF
a years subscription to the paper by
reading the advertisements. The mer-
chants are realizing more and more that
the buying public watches the newspa-
pers for any special bargains or any
new fabric or garment they may have to
OFFER, consequently they have come to
rely upon the columns Of the newspaper

ford TO misrepresent his goods in his adj

Prize Fighting in the Navy.

Capt James P. Parker. naval officer on
duty at the Norfolk Cva) Navy Yard. is
quite within his rights" as an executive
in issuing orders preventing prize fights
in the sail loft of one Of the buildings at
the yard
The contestants in these proposed
fights are enlisted men who hold Ger
tain championships in the navy. Capt.
Parker disapproves OF prize fighting gen.
orally. and will have none of it on the
naval reservation. Now the fights, If
they occur. viii take place on board ship.
The publicity given these proposed
matches is unfortunate, in that it will
create an erroneous impression, Such
contests in the navy are nothing more
than sparring matches conducted under
rules and conditions which bring them
legitimately in the class of athletics.
They are quite different from the prize
fights with which the public is familiar.
Sparring. like wrestling. is an interest
ing test of skill and endurance to which
there may be no legitimate objection. es-
pecially when the conditions are under
official sanction and supervision, and
when, as sometimes occurs. the chaplain
acts as referee There is less danger in
such events than in the Marathon race,
for instance. or in many of the more
violent physical contests for which COM
petitors are not always prepared, and
in which they are so apt 10 overtax their
strength and permanently impair their
health, OF which many instances are af-
forded by disabled midshipmen at the

Fixing the Blame.

Judge Nash R. Broyles. OF the Police
Court Of Atlanta. in passing heavy SEN
fences upon two chauneurs convicted OF
reckless driving within the city limits
recently. took occasion to deliver this
merited comment upon the careful chauf-
: feur:
''AI sane automobilists-and they are
Overwhelmingly in the majority-may be
relied upon even TO exceed the law IN
their scrUpulous endeavors to avoid ac-
cidents. They seek to protect themselves
less than other vehicles and pedestrians.
They can also be counted as approving
uncompromising treatment of those few
OF their craft who perform otherwise"
Judge BroyIes' assertions and conelu-
sions are borne out by the facts, we
think. Nineteen out OF every twenty au-
tomobnists are exceedingly careful In
driving, and particularly considerate OF
pedestrians. Granting that this is no
more than they should be. It yet is true-
a more or less widespread impression to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The trouble is that automobIlists, as a
class. suffer because Of the all too fright
ful and deplorable Iapses of the reckless
few. One automobile catastrophe, the
result OF foolhardy speeding or disregard
of legal restraint and regulation, brings
down the wrath Of thousands upon the
heads of unoffending chauffeurs and own
ers who never In their lives broke an
ordinance or unnecessarily frightened
some one afoot. II we could eliminate
the per cent Of recklessness from auto
MODELLING as a whole. there would be no
complaint from any quarter.
The chauffeur who breaks the law
should be deprived OF his license; and
the refusal Of one municipality to grant
a chauffeur a license should be held suf-
flcient ground for all municipalities to
refuse. In this way he would be forced
entirely out Of a business in which he
has no right whatever to engage This
would please the considerate and sensible
automobilist no less than 1t would please
the publlc-it would relieve the one Of a
tremendous embarrassment; the other OF
a positive menaeel
The thing TO do with the fool automo-
bilist is to put him to work persistentiy
at something else
