Judgment of S4OO
Set Aside by Court

TRENTON, n. j., Sept. 23.-The court
of errors and appeals today set aside
a Judgment of $500 obtained in the Essex
circuit court by Frederick E. Crotois
against the Pennsylvania railroad.
Crotois had some trouble with con-
ductor at Trenton concerning a ticket
on which he was riding from Philadei-
phia to Jersey City The verdict was
set aside because the trial judge erred
in his charge, and because certain ques-
tions were not left to the determination
of the jury. The suit was based upon
the alleged false Imprisonment OF Gro
tots and assault and battery on the part
of agents of the company.

Learning Macbeth
"Just for Fun"

Then he spoke about Macbeth" d"
which he said he was learning lust for
fun
"Ough." he shuddered. and his dell
cate features grimaced amusingly. II
don't like Macbeth at all. OF course,
it isn't Shakespeare's fault that 1 can't
seem to feel Macbeth at all. Hamlet

learn. and Henry VIII was q lollypop,
but Macbeth just puzzles me all up, in

Young Hampden explained how he
learns his parts so easily.

sheet at a time, and learn mat. l take
an act and cut 1t up into thirds or
quarters, according to its length. and
then read the first part over two or

better than others. It's not an original
Idea. Father taught It to me-
The boy seems entirely unconscious
of the unusual memory with which
he is so generously gifted. There Is
none of the pose and egotism that is
to be found in some or the older matt
nee idols. He takes his wonderful
memory as a matter OF course. Some
some can remember better; that's all the
difference, he explains, "and do you
know what I'd rather have than any
thing? Quick legs! If l could only do
100 yards in 10.5 I'd give all the memory
| have"
He Dearly Loves
To Run Foot Races.
This Is Master Burfords one passion
outside of the stage-running. And
though he is a slight chap he has al
ready broken several schoolboy rec
ords in England.
Next to running this boy likes to
read. Often he will consume the entire
four hours which his father insists
shall be his recreation period in reading
a story, which he will retell, almost
table the same evening. His memory
is wonderful except when 1t comes to
mathematics. He Just hates arith-
metic," to use his own words The
hardest task he has experienced IN this
country is to reduce pounds, shillings,
and sixpences into American dollars
and dimes.
And it may be added that It Is a rea-
sonably hard task, for Master Hamp-
den Is receiving one of the largest sal
aries from the New Theater company
that has ever been received by child
on this side Of the water.
Oddly enough, the first play in which
Master Hampden ever appeared was
an American one-"Way Down East"
He was carried onto the stage when a
child of two years by his mother during
London production of this play, and
he has been on the stage ever since.
He has appeared with Cyril Maude,
and expects to play with him another
season when that actor makes his
American tour.

Master Burford Hampden,
in "The Bluebird," Has
Wonderful Memory.

II the little boy who trots of to school
every morning, nursing the unhappy
thought that he has the hardest time
of any little boy in the whole world
because he finds It so hard to learn
the lessons, and so hard to remember
them once they have been studied, could
have the example of Master Burford
Hampden before his eyes all day long,
he would think he had a pretty easy
time Of it. after all
Master Hampden is a small, slender,
blue-eyed boy. Just half past ten," and
he playes TyItyT, the most important
character in Maeterlinck's drama OF
"The Bluebird." which is coming to
Washington to open the Belasco Thea
ter. October 2.
In the play. Tyltyl is the little boy
who lived way across the ocean, In
Belgium, among the fir trees, with his
father, who was a woodcutter; his
mother, his little sister, Mytyl. their
dog, Tylo, and their cat. Tylette,
and the most wonderful thing happened
to TyltyI on Christmas eve when
fairy came and told him all about the
beautiful blue bird, that meant happi-
ness.
And II the little sorry-headed school
boy was compelled to do what Master
Burford Hampden does of his own free
will every day Of his Ife-well he
wouldn't grumble at all. II he had to
keep at his task and be, oh. ever so

Known In London
As the Bow Prodigy,

Master Hampden, though he Is not
yet eleven years of age, is known to
every actor and actress in London as
the boy prodigy. His mind Is like some
huge wonderful sponge. a sponge that
soaks up words instead of water. II
the average school boy could learn his
daily lesson as es silly and as quickly AS
this boy memories his lines, school
would be very different place; a
place where plodding and bonlng and
frowning would be forgotten forever.
This little boy with the wonderful
mind has committed to memory more
parts than any juvenile actor. The
famous stage marGger, Sir Richard
Tree, has called him the most remark
able child actor in the world, and he
ought to know, for during his half CEN
tury OF experience as a producer, he
has employed more than a Thousand
children. Master Hampden's first not
able feat was when he played Puck

with a good natured smile.
Sure enough he was. Within seventy

Praises POCahOntaS

From the Hardy Herald. .- Mon
day every business house, including
the postotiice, in Pocahontas was
closed and the business men went
enmasse to a point between that
town and Birdell, a small place in
the same county to a good roads
meeting. AT this meeting the work
on a good road connecting the two
places was begun and every "sun-of,
a.gun" of these men put in the day
at work and then arrangements for
the completion of the road within
six days were completed. The
business men of Pocahontas never
do anything by halves. Any town
whose business men are so interested
in the welfare of the town will
grow in spite of knockers and dead
beats.

Demand for Buildings

Pocahontas needs twenty five or
thirty residences to rent, There
is hardly a day passes that we do
not hear people enquiring for a
house in which to live and there
are none vacant. This condition
should not exist in Pocahontas
Some means should be devised
whereby enough houses could be
built to supply at least the present
demand. If we want Pocahontas
to increase in population and wealth
we must arrange to take care of
people when they come here.

Law and Lynch Law

The burning alive of n tro,
under circumstances of unexadi led
atrocity at Coatesville, Pa, Mp
palling evidence of the sprSh of
the mob spirit in its worSNl,otm.
1t proves that lawlessness not
sectional, that the brute IND in is
liable to make its presence 9mani-
fest in the oldest and most populous
communities as we'll as IN remote
and sparsely settled districts, and
that respect for the processes of
law and the sacredness of human
life needs to be instilled in the
| North as we'll as in the South and
West. Moral and civic education
Is the ultimate preventive of recur-
renee of such horrors as that in the
Pennsylvania town, But enlighten-
ment is always of slow growth and
in the meantime quick and practical
methods must be sought totJ afe-
guard the country against mob
violence.
What such methods ought to be,
is as well exemplified by the duty
of the authorities on the scene of
the Coatesville lynching, as by any
instance that can be named. 1t is
evident that where a mob was lso
numerous as that in CoatesviIe,
there must be means of discovering
the identity Of many of the partici-
pants. 1t is impossible for hundrsds
of men to keep secret. There
will always be somebody less obsti-
nate, less hardened, or with more
disposition to loquaclousness than
others, and it is among the members
of that mob that detectives of its
crime must be sought. If the
criminals are found, and guilt is
fastened to them, 1t will be sign
the authorities have done good work,
and that jurles have done their duty.
But if this lynching goes unpunish-
ed, or inadequately punished, it
will be proof that law and order
in that community are powerless,
and inexcusably so. When the
penalty for lynching murder is
brought home to guilt as surely as
the penalty for any other crime,
there will be an end of lynch law
in the United States. National

SO that the work may be pushed in

would mean that everybody in the

and we believe the citizens are all

Cotton Cut so Per Cent
Pocahontas, Ark.

1t isreported upon good authority
over the state that the cotton crop
will be cut down to about so per
cent About three weeks AGO it
was thought that there would be
made the largest cotton crop that
this section OF the state has ever
known, but since that time the
heavy rains, have damaged the
cotton to such an extent that the
farmers are very much discouraged
There are several large cotton crops
near this city that three weeks AGO
looked as if they would WELD from
a bale to bale anG half to the
acre, but since that time they have
been almost ruined. The corn crop
in most sections, however, is good,
and with favorable weather from
now on will yield an average crop.
The late hay crop is very good.
