Last NIGHTS PLAY.

''The Girl in the Taxi was last
nights attraction at the opera house,
small crowd greeting the well
known farce which has been out for
several seasons now.
Miss Clara Joel, as leading lady,
plays indifferently well, and her sup
port is composed of a number of men
and women who do fairly well In the
various parts of the play, which, how
ever, drags somewhat unpleasantly at
intervals, when one variety of fun is a
trif1e too long drawn out.
There is absolutely nothing to the
main plot in THE Girl in the Taxi"
which. except for its decidedly risque
atmosphere and its frequent laughs
would be frankly considered very
weak.
However, there are funny situations
which make the people laugh-and it
is this redeeming quality, if no other,
that stamps the play as passable.

SUING FOR HE PRESENT

Loves young dream has been shat.
tered into smithereens again. this time
down In Connecticut where frauds
have been known before, notably in
the instance OF the wooden nutmeg. A
young man had been counting a Young
woman for some time and according
to the best OF his knowledge and belief
his affection was reciprocated. One
morning he awoke to the TACT that this
life Is full Of disappointments. He re.
ceived delicately scented pink note
to the effect that the lady OF his heart
loved another better than she loved
him, and that she intended 10 marry
the party OF the second part.
The youngs man did not grow hys.
tcrical and buy revolver. He is a
very practical young man and, being
such, he merely sat down and made
out a list OF the presents he had given
her and what she had cost him In the
way of entertainment. He remember.
ed every item and when he totalled
them up they amounted to s12.32. 1t
is not stated what the cents was for;
but, it was probably for postage
stamp. He filed suit for her in the
local court for the full amount. }

THE MISSION OF UNCLE HORACE

e.
1t has been said that every man has
n mission in this .orld. Some are born
to be presidents and others to drive
trctting horses or juggle buckwheat
cakes where the stools are high and
the price is low. Uncle Horace Vose.
Of Rhode Island, stands alone In his
mission. which is to furnish large,
fat turkey every year for the table OF
the president of the United States.
Uncle Hold has been at this for many
years and so absorbed Is he in the
matter of raising one particularly
prime turkey every year for the presi.
dent that he has little time for any
thing else and misses good many of
the magic lantern lectures and per.
1ormances OF East Lynne" which
strike his home village. Raising a
boy from infancy to manhood is an
easy task compared to that OF pulling
a presidential, turkey through the ills
and discouragements which beset its
youth. Even after 1t has passed the
Group and measles period somebody is
liable to happen along and kidnap 1t
II would seem as though 1t would b.
a bit discouraging at times to Uncle
Hold to serve up magnificent speci
men of turkey to some president whom
he doesn't like and whose politica
opinions differ widely from his own
but Uncle Hold never allows this te
stand In the way of the l,erformanc,
of his duty. He has served his coun

The construction crew of the Hen
dersonville Traction Company have
lpassed the Gates Hotel corner with
the grading and laying of rails fC1
the street car line.
Work of removing the macadam on
Main street began this morning as
soon as city engineer H. G.. Bailey To-
Gated the center by which the grad
ing could be done. The force of men
under able foremanship will push the
work of placing track on Main street.
On account of the width of Main
street it is not thought that the work
of grading will block traffic very
much.
The officials are still of the opinion
that work will be finished next month
in time for the first cars to be run
ming in October,
While the cars have not arrived yet
the officials have received notice that
they have been shipped and will be in
the city on time.
There is no definite information as
to who will furnish power for the
street car company. 1t is understood
that they have several favorable pro-
positions for power to be furnished
them.

The Harvest Moon Txplaiued

In accordance with our annual Gus
tom, we will say that the harvest
moon is that moon that is full near
the autumnal equinox.
The peculiar phenomeon about the
harvest moon is that it rises immed-
lately after sunset for several con-
secutive days. This phenomeon made
by the ecliptic and the moons orbit
with the horizon at this season Of the
year. 1t was first called the Hairy
est Moon" by the farmers of the north
of England, whose harvests were
gathered about this season of the
year and the bright light of tie fill
moon for several consecutive days en-
abled them to work longer in gather
ing their haryests.

YaIne of Forty Misks.

The first sleep is the soundest-
after the first hour the intensity of
sleep slowly diminishes-hence the
value of forty winks after dinner in
quickly re~cuperating shattered pow
ers. Temperature and vitality are
lowest ABOUT 2 p. M, so that two
hours sleep before midnight are bet
ter than four thereafter. Nature
has no rule as to the length of sleep,
except that men need less than wom-
en-, since women are the more sensi-
beats five times more a minute than
a mans. Sleep should be just so
long as when you wake in the morn
ing a stretch and a yawn are neces-
sary to land you in a daytime of
bounding igor.-Exchange.

John Rockefeller. Jr , Has A Narrow
EScapN.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Sept 15-In an
accident during the construction
work on an addition to John D. Rock
efeller's country home at Pocanitico
Hills, today, five workmen were in
jured, one of whom may die and
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., had a mar
row escape. A bundle of steel which
was being raised to the top of the
building struck a projection, tipped up
and came crashing to the ground.
The falling pieces of steel scattered
and all the five workmen hauling on
the BOOSTING rope were struck. The
Standard Oil magnate's son, who was
watching the operation had just walk
ed by the spot when the falling met
al struck.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller instantly
played an active part in dragging the
men from among the steel beams.
