LADY ABBY TO WED
\ CLERK OF TWENTY

London.-Society will be amused.
but not surprised, at an engagement
which shortly will be announced be-
tween Lady Abby and a youth aged
20, named Leonard Gibbons.
Lady Abby, who lost her husband,
Sir William Abby, recently, is a rath-
er massive but handsome woman
about so years of age with a some
what striking past. The late Sir Will
liam figured in some very unsavory
law court proceedings dealing with his
former matrimonial affairs, and in
1909, when in a paralytic state, he
married the present Lady Abby. The
ceremony was performed amid the
jeers of a crowd, and the Bridegroom
had to be wheeled to the registrars
office in a bath chair.
Sir William left his wife nothing
in his viii, but made very handsome
settlements on her before he died,
and Lady Abby is now rich widow
She astonished the world not long ago
by offering the sum of s250,000 for
the advancement of aviation in Eng
land, but so far there is no record
of the amount having been paid. She
| took violent fancy to Mr.. Grahame-
White, the aviator, and gave a fancy
price to be taken up as a passenger
in an aeroplane.
Young Gibbons, who is a tall, we'll
built youth, was an obscure clerk
down town. Last summer he met a
well-known American, Leeds Waters
and became his companon-secretary
Mr.. Waters introduced the young man
to Lady Abby, and the two, who are
now inseparable, are secretly engaged
but the announcement will not be
made for some time.

istration. Edward Everltt Hale's
hero was sent to sea for life for put
ting 1t only a shade stronger than
that. but for the employees who will
obey the new Injunction there Will
be nothing but praise. The new or
ders are in line with the governments
policy Of retrenchment, and the STAR
ry banners that fly every day from
the staffs of thousands of govern
ment buildings throughout the land
will be worn to a frazzle before they
can be replaced with new ones.
Not long ago the government em-
ployes were instructed to exercise
greater economy in the use of lead
pencils, and since the order went in
to effect there have been more stubs
in use than ever before known in the
history Of the government. Another
order instructed the clerks to use
both sides of scratch pads In figuring
out memoranda and in writing the
rough drafts OF letters.
Now the flag is to be larned. When

The plan of President Navin of
the Tigers, to establish home for
ball players, is a good one. Navin
is to be commended and every base
ball fan in the country will hope
that the boss of the American
league three-time champions will be
able to go through with the idea.
1t is now up to the other mag
mates, not only in the two big
leagues, but in the class AA and
class A organizations to get inter
ested. The establishment of such a
home would be great thing for
the men who daily delight thous-
ands by their work on the diamond.
Navin's idea as l understand it, is
to have each club set aside one day
in the season, when the entire pro-
ceeds would be turned over to the
home. A board of trustees, consist
ing of the biggest men in base ball
would be appointed to manage the
institution, the same as the Typo
graphical union and some other
labor organizations conduct their
homes.
When a players days of useful
ness on the diamond are over he
would, providing he has been i'm
provident, have a home to go to

''The Land of Nod is All Right.

"The Land of Nod" was the at
traction at the Grand Opera House
in Greensboro Friday night, and the
Greensboro News says this OF the per-
formance:
One Of the largest crowds ever gath
cred in the Grand Opera House witness
ed THE Land OF Nod" last night 1t is
musical extravaganza OF spectacular
situations and clever comedy. The eho-
rus work is the strongest part OF the per-
formaee. there being no stars among the
soloists. From the standpoint of moral
tone, ''The Land OF Nod is one of the
best that has visited Greensboro. The
performance is all right, and pleased as
cultured and refined and chaste an aud
fence as ever attended a Greensboro
theater.
The Greensboro Record says the ma
iority OF those in the audience "praised
the show extravagantly and heralded it
as the most enjoyable musical comedy OF
the season. The show was rather weak
unsteady, both in the mems and wo-
mems voices; costumes and a good look
ing chorus made up FOR that defect. The
show is spectacular; there were some
new jokes, and the staging was well done.
All in all taking the show for what it
really is, an electrical extravaganza in
stead OF a musical extravaganza, it is
well worth seeing and one that will be
enjoyed"

He left home about 10 O'Clock in
company with other children to at
tend Sunday-school at WILLIAMSBURG,
about mile distant Becoming
separated from the others it was sup
posed that he had gone on ahead or
would come later and when he failed
to put in an appearance the sup
position was that he had gone back
home. But such was not the case
and he has not been seen or heard
from since. No cause can be assign
ed why the boy should have run
away. He had a good home, was q
dutiful son, we'll treated and content
ed to all appearances and had never
shown any disposition to leave before
The father, who is an industrious,
hard working man living on his own
land, is very much concerned about
the disappearance OF his son and Of
fers reward OF $500 for any infor-
nation as to his whereabouts. The
boy is described as 16 years old, of
slender build, rather under size for
age, light complexion, small head,
round face, bright sharp eyes, quick
and intelligent.
