Charles Brown, a young Eng
lish chap, Is part of the talk of
the town just now. In Mar
riage La Carte" on the first
night, he leaned up against a
piece of scenery, in a loose,
lanky way, and droned away at an
alleged song entitled Castles Not
a Bit Like Mother" He didn't
sing. He Just told the audience
about Cassie and his mother. The
audience demanded another verse.
He had only three. The next
night he had four. Now he's sing
ing a dozen veress nightly and
taking from six to ten recalls.
Here's the first verse and the
chorus:
II sometimes take my mothaw out
to suppah,
And mothaw takes my sister
Jane along
A sort of family group, down to
the Carlton
Oh, lately, mothaw's going aw-
full strong!
Now, just as sure as when / reach
the JdDle,
And look about for friend there,
in the pack,
It's ten to one l spy that teasing
Cassie
Across the room with Reginald
or Jack"
The chorus:
Now Cassie's not a bit like
mothaw,
And Cassie's not bit like Jane.
Mothaw eats an awful lot of sup
pah,
And says We'll do without
champagne.
shouldn't want 1t said that I'm
unfilial,
Or my family on me could ever
pail,
But my laugh is far more hearty,
When Cassie's in the party.
Well, it's different-Wot? It's
not the same at all.

Miss Anxious tells me that she
is nineteen, is city girl, but has
lived in the country two years
past on account of poor health.
Says she has learned quite little
about poultry raising, is very
much interested in il and has
about decided to go into that
business. Since she has no capt.
tai, she wonders whether she'd
better borrow money or work I'M
til she earns it.
Now, there is no subject about
which l have more enthusiasm
than poultry raising. There isn't
a doubt that anyone who LIKES
CHICKENS AND ISN'T AFDAID
TO WORK will succeed in that
business-not a doubt.
And, Miss Anxious" you don't
need capital--at least not more
than enough to buy a couple of
old hens and a few settings OF
eggs, If you are already provided
with quarters. Don't make the
mistake of so many amateurs
who start out ON too large a scale.
And above all, don't be too am
bilious the first year. Remember
your state of health and that the
care of a few chickens this year
win be harder work while you are
practically inexperienced, than
the care of double the number the
second year.
Keep your feet dry and guard
against cold and OVERRIDING and I'll
guarantee that the second year
will find you well and strong
again. Try sleeping out of doors
and go to sleep at night and get
UP in the morning at the same
time your chickens do.

do to remove two scratches in my
new piano?-Young Housekeeper.

from whom you bought the piano.

Today We See Venna's Rngstrasse, Beautiful
Boulevard Where Once Were Only Hovels
(THE TIMES TOUR OF THE
WORLDLY

| I I'M loO OP
! WORLDLY
! VIENNA, Feb. 20.-"Wien," as
they cal it here, is perhaps worthy
of being called the most beautiful
of modern cities. Not so big as
Paris, nor so rich in famous pub
lie buildings, Vienna is neverthe-
less more beautiful than Paris as a
whole, because of the harmonious
way in which the city has been de-
veloped INTELLECTUALLY.
Viennais beautiful because the
Viennese were not afraid to take
heroic measures in their efforts to
make their city glorious. The
'Ringstrasse" Cor Ring street,, a
section of which is shown in the
above picture, is the browning
glory of Vienna. Indeed, it is one
of the most splendid streets in all
the world. 1t is broad parked
boulevard betting the heart of the
city with a circle of grass and
trees and pavements and magnifi-
cent renaissance buildings.
A little over sixty years ago the
land now occupied by this street
was cluttered up with squalid
belt of novels and decaying forti-
fications-relics of the days when
Vienna was wall city. The peo-
pie of Vienna simply demolished
the Qualifications and RACED the
miserable buildings, and made in
the site of the old wall this won
derful ringStrasse.
Vienna boasts many great build
ings. The Vienna opera house is
one of the most magnificent i'll the
world. The Rathau, or town hall,
with it's 320-foot tower, is mas
terpiece of Gothic architecture,
while then ational house of parlia-
ment, built in Greek style, is a
building. of great dignity and inn
pressiveness.
But it's not all beer and skittles
in Vienna. In spite of its beauty
and gayety, Vienna has its trou-
bles. Until very recently the death
rate in Vienna was very high, ow-
ing to poor water and lack of sani-
tation: and Vienna isn't the
cleanest city in the world yet. Fur
ther, Vienna is paradise for YER
min. They do say that the bed
bugs OF the world have their in
ternational headquarters there.

known as the seventh movement,
and which shocked some of the
visitors at the charity ball at the
Astor hotel. 1t will not bear de-
scription, but it is sufficient to
say that the police in some of the
largest cities in the country
stopped the same sort of move
ment when tried in burlesque
theaters. Some of the members
of the younger set of the 400 at
the charity ball were so elated
with the Tangle that they an
nolnced they would introduce it
at the next junior cotillion; others
thought it improper and left the
ball room.

Big HOTEL FOR SAILORS

First Building Of Kind viii

Chicago, Feb. 17-Ground will be
broken in New York this spring for a
S750,000 hotel for sailors. The enter
prise, fathered by the Seamans church
institute, is the first of its kind in the
world. 1t has received the Endorsement
of the chamber of commerce and var
ious marine organizations.
Nearly 100000 of the necessary
amount is already in the hands of the
trustees, John d. Rockefeller and !.
P. Morgan having each given $4,000.
AS in most other seaport cities ac-
commodations for sailors have been a
source of scandal here for years. En-
actment of various federal statutes 20
protect the men from designing board
ing house keepers has done much to
improve their lot, but it is considered
by those interested in their welfare
that much more should be done
The hotel will be managed along
lines similar to those which have made

porting 1t is the aim to give the sea-
faring men an up-to-data hotel with
modern conveniences, together with q
savings bank and other welfare
features.

new YORKER KING
OF SOUTH SEA isle
Known By Natives as 1.-THE
Immaculate One"

San Francisco, Cal, February IL
The German trading schooner Triton,
which has arrived here from the
South Seas, brings a tale of a former
New York, who now rules as king
of Aroral, one Of the Marshall Islands.
Two months ago when the Triton ar
rived off Aroral Island to barter with
the natives the discovery was made
that the ruler of this beautiful isle
was none other than Archibald c..
Everett, who seven years ago was a
resident of New Yor.
Financial reyerses then caused Ev-
erett to pack his summer fannels and
silk shirts and seek his fortune in the
sea. After various adventures he
landed at Aroral and brought forth
his beautiful raiment. His conquest
was immediate and complete. Dusky
maidens We're captivated by this fair
skinned youth and the natives decided
he should be crowned king. He was
called "Etamoroa," (the Immaculate
one.)
His subjects catch sharks and gather
cocoanuts for barter with the trad
ing steamers. The native girls sing
to him and fan him during his sizes
tas. He wears always his royal raj
ment-white duck trousers, a silk
shirt and a scarf of color

Atlanta, Ga, February 1.-THE cur

editor is known to be close to the
goyernor-elect, states unequivocably
that Governor Hoke Smith will be {;
candidate for the U. S. Senate, be-
fore the legislature, and ventures the
opinion that he will be easily elected

tainty has come into the senatorial

would result from the hard work nee

better than any one else's now and
are improving all the time.
But feeling pervades the air that
Senator Terrell will be advised by
his physicians and family to stay out
of the hot fight he will be compelled
to fight to win out. AS stated, no
one has limited at such a thing, but
that feelings undoubtedly current.
If he is not in the race many be-

forward as a formidable entry to the
field. 1t is limited about that South
Georgia might get together and cen

A COMPANY
FOR FAIR
Would Tend to Make 1t a
Greater Success
Suggested That Race Track Grounds
Be Leased and Tents Rented For
SubIGt PuFpOSGS---TO Be Discussed
on Tuesday Night.

The suggestion has been made, and
it will be considered at the meeting of
the Board of Trade on Tuesday night,
that the proposed county fair be con-
verted into a permanent affair through
the organization of a stock company,
it being the belief of those in charge
that it may be carried through more
successfully in this way than by a
mere system of annual contributions
from business men and others.
81 have been looking into the matter
carefully" said Chairman Cunning
ham, of the committee in charge of the
fair project, land it appears to me that
We can render the success of the move
ment more sure if we have a properly
organized fair company, with the stock
placed among the business men, farm
ers and other citizens inclined to as
sociate with them to help make the
fair a pronounced success.
ut has been suggested that the race
track ground could probably be leased
for the fair grounds, and that large
tents could be rented every year, or
purchased if deemed advisable, in
which the exhibits could be placed
The fair would last a week and if we'll
advertised and handled with ability
would draw large crowds. A small
entrance fee could be charged that
would go a long ways toward meeting
the operating expenses of the fair.
Tents can be rented at reasonable
prices, and the expense of permanent
buildings in this way would be avoid
ed The fair would probably develop
into a district OF tri-county fair, at the
least, if it were pushed with vigor for
a year or two, and would promote the
business interests of the city as we'll
as the general agricultural interests of
the section"
The entire fair matter will be gone
over at the meeting of the Board Of
Tade on Tuesday night President
SILVER hopes to have a much larger at
tendance, as this question, as well as
others coming up, is of more than
ordinary interest.

when it comes to carton work No
mention was made of the class cf

IA short time ago a bill was in
troduced in the legislature which its
enemies asserted would open the
floodgates for dissatisfied wives and
husbands, so that a divorce might be
had for the asking-or the payment
of an attorneys fee. The divorce laws
in North Carolina are strict, DEGREES
being granted only on scriptural
grounds, with one Xception--where'
the parties have been living apart
for twenty years and have no children.
This amendment to the divorce laws
was enacted by the legislature four
years ago, for the purpose, it isl
said, of releasing an unhappy couple
from bonds that did not bind
A furore was created by the intro
