wife told me that she often saw him
studying at night. seated on the cellar
door. reading Blackstone often until
midnight by the light OF the moon
Lincoln always took note of the
light and dark Of the moons. as Is
shown by an incident which occurred
during his early practice of law. A
murder was committed in the neigh
borhood Of the village. and the son Of
the surveyors wife was arrested on
suspicion from the testimony OF an
"eye witness" In the meantime Lin.
coin had swung out his shingle as a
lawyer. at Springfield. and on this
occasion nobly did he prove that the
kindness Of the surveyor was not for
gotten by the student who read Black
stone by the moonlight
He went to the Jail and questioned
the young prisoner. who asserted his
innocence. and Lincoln took up the
case.
At the trial the witness swore that
he saw the murder committed.
Might you not be Mistaken" asked
Lincoln. "A dim light is deceptive.
and It was a dark night"
The witness FASTENED to reiterate
that It was bright moonlight. where
upon Lincoln promptly pulled from
among his books an almanac. and said
calmly:
1T is not necessary for me to make
a plea. for no Jury can place any re-
lance on a witness who will swear
that 1t was a moonlight night when
the almanac proves that It was the

SINGING CONVENTION NOTICE.


To the Singers of Brazos County
The Brazos County Singing conven-
ton will hold its fourteenth annual
session with Reliance choir on July
I'd and Sd, and we cordially invite all
singers and all lovers of music to meet
with us en- the above dates We ear
nestly request that all choirs in the
county have their delegates meet at
10 a. M, July 2, so that we may at
tend to most of the business on that
day, and in that way the greater part
of Sunday can be devoted to singing.
After consulting with the several
choirsters in the county, we are au-
thorized to call off the contest for the
cup and banner this year. This is
done for the reason that the sharp
rivalry between the different commu-
mites because of the contest may we
believe, prove detrimental to the har-
mony and good fellowship of the con-
vention. The convention win take up
the matter and dispose of II as it sees
fit in the regular session.
We request all the choirs to prepare
some special music and use any num-
Der of singers they wish so we may
have an entertaining program.
The welcome address will be deliv-
cred on Saturday at IL o'clock by some
one selected by the choir. The re-
Spouse will be delivered by Mr.. O. L,
Andrews of Harvey. The annual adj
dress on Music" will be delivered
Sunday at II a. m, by Prof Dulaney
of Thompson Greek.
In conclusion we invite everybody
to come and enjoy with us this annual

deadly chill; the barometer rushed up

Men shivered as perspiration broke

prayed and crossed themselves.
From time to time some of the
crew fell silently to the decks. Some
say it was from fear, but those who
dropped said later that strange gas

WILL 1T BE ENFORCED?
If Dog Muzzle Law Be Passed Won't II
Share Same Fate As Ball-PIaying
Ordinance?

A lady subscriber writes to the
Evening Capital at some length rel
alive to the newly proposed city ordi-
nance requiring all dogs on the street
to be muzzled.
"It is very good ordinance" the
lady writes, Il approve of it, but if
it were passed would it not share the
same fate as did the ordinance for
bidding ball-playing by boys in the
streets of this town."
The lady further states that she
can sit at her window on a public
street in town and see boys playing
ball in the public streets almost any
day, and any hour in the day, before
and after school hours. She goes on
to say she has complained to the
officials of the city, but they say it
is tennis ball the boys are playing
with. Even so, ladies walking on
the streets, she continues, do not care
to be hit by a tennis ball.
The other day an old lady eighty
years old, was walking on Duke of
Gloucester street, and nearby boys
were playing ball. The ball circled
around and above the old lady's head
Had she been hit she would probably
have been killed.
The dog-muzzling ordinance is a
good thing. but will it be enforced
if passed? Will it not share the
same fate as the ball-playing-in-the-
street ordinance the whistling ordi-
nance and the rest?

PRETTY POLLY PLEASED
Colonial Theatre Audience Enjoys The
Circus On The Stage Good
pIay

Pretty little Miss George dip, as
the headlner in "Polly of the Circus"
won her way into the hearts of a
large audience at the Colonial Thea
tire Saturday night. The play is a
delightful love romance, and is full
of incidents and sentiment that give
it especial charm.
The little circus rider winds her
self around the heart of the minister
to whom she makes direct appeal
for sympathy, and the whole story
is pretty, sentimental and real.
The strong contrast between the life
Of the circus girl Polly, who has
grown to girlhood, unspoiled in char
acter, but wholly undeveloped save
in her profession, and the quiet,
cultured life of the young minister,
into whose household she is sud-
denly thrown by reason of an acct
dent, serves to accentuate the effect
of pretty story cleverly told.
The introduction into the play of
the narrow, puritanical church peo-
pie and their bitter prejudices, all
the more stubborn because of igno-
rance from which it springs, serves
as an effective background to the
story which tells how the love of
Polly and the parson grew, how it
led each other into the path of bet
terment, how the accusing voice of
scandal came to interrupt and sepa-
rate the twain, how Polly went back
to the circus with sacrificial intent,
and how the parson found her there
and declared his love-these are the
items in pretty conventional story.
The reunion of the pair in the full
glare of the circus ring is sufficient
ly dramatic to satiate the theatre
goers' desire for thrills and sufficient
ly poetic to please those who believe
true love should ever be triumphant
and happy when the final curtain
falls.
The circus ring, with its clowns,
its acrobats, IFS ponies and elephant
Little Hip" in the last act, and
its equestrienne, Miss Fife Dutton,
was spectacular and realistic. All
the parts were well taken and the
play is a sermon with narrowminded-
ness for its text. 1t is simple, sweet,
natural and charming and disarms
criticism.
