UNABLE TO SEE Any Ho
Eleventh Hour Had Passed and There
Was mo Consolation for the
Sorrowing Wife.

An old minister in South Wales
told story once to Pastor Thomas
of the Washington Avenue Congre-
gational church which illustrates the
verify Of the saying that it is folly
to be wise where so much consola-
ton can be gained from ignorance,
says the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
The preacher told him, Il was
called to visit an old women very
illiterate and ignorant of spiritual
things, a short time after the death
of her husband, who was noted for
his learning, his ensnity to the Chris
tan ministers and his capacity for
drink.
"Fearfully she told me that it was
not his loss, but his unpreparedness
for death that so concerned her.
Then I called her attention to the
thief who obtained forgiveness on
the cross at the eleventh hour, after
he had sincerely repented.
Possibly l said, your husband
had mercy and forgiveness at the
eleventh hour
''The old woman paused in her
weeping, looked at an old clock in
the corner, hesitated, and then said
in broken-bearted tone, That's the
trouble, Mr.. Jones, it was after
twelve on that clock when he died
and it was only fifteen minutes fast.
I wish now that it had been an hour
ahead of time. Then there might
have been some hope"

VARIETIES OF EELs.

There is the broad nose eel, and
.hen again there is the sharp nose
eel. The great difference between
these two varieties is that the broad
nosed eel is the male and the sharp
nosed eel is the female, both being
really Of one and the same family.
When summer comes young eels by

Although women have only been

MORE ON THE BREAD QUESTION.

Because the coarser-grained breads
are less easily digested-oF possibly
not so completely digested-is not,
of itself, sufficient to condemn them.
Many of the foods most difficult to
digest give US the greatest amount
of nourishment. When you weigh
the one over against the other, the
argument will, after all, be in favor
of the coarser foods-the foods con-
tanning the greatest amount Of nu-
triment.

STILL IN PRIMITIVE STATE
chocos indians Of Panama Free Wisn
Simple Hospitality and Small
Wants.

Professor P;ttier of the United
States agricultural department., who
was recently sent to Panama for bo-
tanical study, has done some remark
able work for the Smithsonian insti-
tuition in regard to exploring among
the original inhabitants Of that re-
gion.
he visited a tribe of Indians
known as the Chocos. They lived
on the southwestern coast of Pana-
ma, and Professor Pittier thinks
thew are descendants Of the tribes
which inhabited that part of the
world when Columbus discovered
Santo Domingo.
They are tall and stalwart, With
kindly natures, a free hospitality and
an innate honesty. Few white men
have ever been among them. Tribes
Of a somewhat similar nature are
| also found on the southeast coast,
many Of them having never seen a
| white face in their lives. While the
Republic of Panama nominally rules
this section, the truth is that these
Indians govern themselves entirely:
have absolutely no intercourse with
the whites, do not allow a white man
to visit their lands and still fly the
Colombian flag.
Their houses are grass huts, their
clothing is almost nothing, but they
seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact
that they are unacquainted with the
benefits Of religion, fashion, society
and government.

TROUBLE OVER MUSICIANS
AT PoLPS THEATER
Manager Saunders Had Booked Two
First class Productions, but Was
Obliged to Cancel Them,

Since the change from stock to
vaudeville and pictures at Polls thea
ter, there has been trouble with the
musicians, states Manager Saunders
There had formerly been four men in
the orchestra, but with the change it
was desired to have but the piano
player. When the manager asked the
piano player to remain, he states that
he refused, unless there were four in
the orchestra Not being able to stand
that expense, and being unable to Sc
cure union player of the piano alone,
Manager Saunders states that he was
obliged to go out of town for a player
who, it is understood, is not a union
man, though q union man had been
desired,
Desiring to bring a first class at
traction here now and then, Manager
Saunders booked jeff De Angels for
February and Baby Mine for Febru-
airy 81, intending to run vaudeville
the other nights to keep the house
from being dark. He is. however, un-
able to secure the orchestra of four
pieces for those plays, he states, be-
cause of the other trouble, and has
been obliged TO cancel the attractions.
He has had two or more conferences
with the musicians union over the
matter and is willing to place two in
the orchestra for vaudeville but they
are not willing to play unless there
are four.
Secretary F. n. Clark of the Must
clans union in speaking of the matter
states that the union has made a rule
that If union players are to play at
! the Poll theater there must be four in
| the orchestra for all attractions wheth-
! Ger vaudevill or first class shows. II
! is claimed that the manager cannot
| hire one or two to play for vaudeville
| and have them union men. This it Is
| claimed is arrived at by the fact that
| the house Is rated by those who fiXf
! the number who shall play in the or
| chestra there. Four is the number
| settled upon according to the seating
| capacity. Mr.. Clark states that with
| the gallery closed, as it is, there are
| $50 NOR seats there than in any other
| show house in town. He was of the
opinion that vaudeville ought not to bt
put on there. Whether the orchestra
of four was playing to empty seats Oh
not, or whether the manager could af-
ford to have four players or not made
no difference to the union, said the
secretary.
