scented by Leon Washburn's Stetson's
Uncle Toms CABIN Company at the
Calumet theater Friday evening
Written by a woman. Mrs. Harriet

been so strongly drawn upon for dra-
matte material AZ ia Uncle Tom 3
Cabin" Love and sympathy FREEDOM
mate throughout, while sefishneSS
and hatred are important adiuncts 20
the happy elimination of story that
is brimful Of interest.
Uncle Tom" the central figure IN
the play, is man who in turn shows
weakness and strength. He is a vic
tim of circumstances, and is fairly
happy and Contented while being the
slave of Squire Sinclaire," who is a
man of the world, of character and
self-respect. But, there comes into
his existence man whose entire
character is despicable, conflicting
struggles ensue. and the BATTLE is bit
terly fought until the triumph of right
and honor.
Apart from "Unclc Tom" there are
"a number of characters drawn with
equal nnesse and color. They are
made to play important roles in the
life Of Uncle Tom and all are fig
ures of prominence in the development
Of the story. ADVERTISEMENT.

Mere poets License

The principal of school at East
are no tigers in East Africa, and when
they doubted his word the matter was
referred To Col Roosevelt, who writes:
There is not and never has been a
single wild tiger in all Africa. but the
leopard is found there in abundance
and is often mistakenly called tiger.
1t is evident, therefore, that there Is
no historic basis for the limerick:
There was young lady of Niger,
Who smiled as she rode on tiger.
They came back from the ride.
With the lady inside.
And the smile on the face of the
tiger.

ENSLEY POSTMASTER
MUCH TOO ACTIVE IN
POLITICS IS CHARGE
Understood the Charges
Against kennamer Were
Preferred by W.R. Fair
ley and J. X. Thomas

Information to the effect that charges
of "pernicious political activity had
been fled with the postoffice depart
ment at Washington against t. j. Ken
manner, postmaster at Ensley, was con-
firmed by an investigation made yes
terday by Inspectors Toole and Diltz
1t is understood that the charges
were filed by W. r. Farley and Jack
* Thomas, both republicans.
The result of the investigation by
the inspectors is of course not known,
as the Information in regard to the
charges against Postmaster Kennamer
is entirely unofficial.
Mr.. Kennamer. when asked for a
statement last night in regard to the
matter, stated that he preferred to say
nothing about a matter which was
usually kept quiet until some official
action had been taken, and did not un-
derstand how information about the
charges had leaked out. He admitted
that the charges had been filed and
authorized the following statement:
II have not been guilty of any po-
litical activity, pernicious or otherwise
since my appointment as postmaster of
Ensley. One of the matters with which
l was charged was in connection with
the calling of committee meeting
which happened several months before
my appointment and furthermore l had
nothing to do with the calling of the
meeting and was not a member of the
committee. I do not attach any i'm
portance to the charges and believe
that the investigation will result in full
exoneration."
