Here is little item from the Big
stone Gap Post that will interest the
atre-goers:
John Fox, Jr,, and his wife, who Is
known the world over as Madame
Fritzi Scheff. arrived here Wednes-
day evening over the Virginia ana
Southwestern from New York, accom-
panied by Miss Minnie Fox. Madame
Scheff has recently closed a very sue
cessful tour in Henry NJ Blossoms
play, The Prima Donna which was
written especially for her, and Is one
of the foremost light opera stars In
the world"
John has no reason to think that
the Post would ever give him much
press notice, for his literary output
but Mrs. Fox has no kick coming.

"Two sTuMnL1NG STONES.

Selected for The Times-Dispatch.)
What is that to thee? Follow thou
Me."-John xxi. %.
There are two stumbling stones
would God that there We're only two!
which continually vex the feet of
beginners in religion. Yet, by and by,
as the habits Of spiritual life are
formed. the soul gets used to facing
! temptation and overcoming obstacles.
upon the path, while the way grows
more plain and easy.
But it is not so at first There are
| questions and problems and hard
places with always the persuasion of
| the evil one to give it all up. It is
| with religion as it is with any other
kind OF habit or knowledge. Children
begin literature with a primer. not
Plato, and music with scales and ex-
ercises, not Beethoven. The primer is
a great deal harder to the beginner
than Plato is after awhile; and the
notes played by two fingers take
longer to learn than the pages that
require ten. The religious life. the
conscious, definite Christian life, be-
gins amid stumbling stones.
And of these there are two which
lie SO close outside the gate that al
most before one begins, and at the
very sight of them many turn back
for good and all. II am not good
: enough" is written on one OF them.
"Other people are not good enough" is
placarded on the other. Thus the pos.
sible Christian is kept back by the
un-Christlikeness of those who bear
His name.
We cannot deny that many in the
church are not as good as they ought
} to be. And that is seen better by the
! world than by the minister. because
he sees them mostly In their Sunday
! clothes. The beginner in religion sees
great deal, and very often the lit
tie things trouble him more than the
big ones. Little falsehoods, little
petty cheats, little offenses against
reverence and purity. little ,inhrmlties
of temper--these he discovers in tht
life OF some church, member every
day, and the sight often turns him
> against all religion. He mutters, ely

PAYING FOR THE MOB.

Governor Harmons activity in the
Newark lynching affair is having
very wholesome effect upon public
sentiment in Ohio. A number of pub
lie officers have been turned out, q
number of arrests have been made of
those known to have taken part In
the bloody business, and even the
mob is beginning to believe that 1t is
really not greater than the law. If
the prosecution Of these people shall
result in the hanging of number of
the most prominent OF their leaders,
there will never be another mob in
Ohio.
The Ohio people have found the best
way of arousing public sentiment
against the mob. They have an anti
lynching law which makes the people
liable to money damages for the
work of tho mob. The Urbana
lynching cost Champaign county more
than $4,000. In other counties the
damages assessed against the taXpay'
ers for mob violence have amounted
70 large sums, and Newark and Lick
ing County will now be compelled t
nav dearly for the Burlington
affair. Money talks" and 1t is talk
ing in Ohio against the mob. Whe1
the people begin to find that the mol
is an expensive thing to them per
sonally. they will lose much OF tina
sympathy with violent men which ha
brought the law into deserved re
