Iiked Her Bread, So They wed.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-John Evans, IL
years old, a wealthy farmer, returned
to Dennison, N. Y, with his bride
after q short wedding trip and adj
mitted that this, his second matrimo-
nial venture, resulted from his dis
covery of bread that suited his
taste exactly. Evans ate bread In a
New York restaurant and was so
pleased with 1t he made 1t his busi-
ness to ascertain who baked 1t. His
search led to Miss Julia Walton, Sc
years old, of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
He proposed to her and was ac-

Note.--1n recounting the citizens
Of worth and note furnished by the
Richland community, we notice that
the writer has failed to mention one
Capt. s. X. Dendy of Walhalla.
Capt. Dendy has for a number of
years been prominently identified
with the business interests OF Wal
halla, and he is an ex-Confederate
soldier, having served through the
four years of the Civil War, rising
from the ranks to First Lieutenant.
He was prominent In the Red Shirt
demonstrations Of 1875, a staunch
Democrat--"dyed in the WOOL" SO to
speak. And yet withal 1t may be
truly said of the Captain that come
what will, the sDortsman's spirit VII,
not down, and to-day he enjoys moth
Ing better than angling and hunting
--"fin, fur and feathers" sounding a
call that 1t Is hard for him to resist.
Though the Captain has forgotten to
mention himself In his narrative we
are reminded, by this very omission

this is over with, the actors time is
his own, excepting, of course, the
time required for the actual per
formance. He goes to the theater
six nights in the week at seven
thirty; he is out by eleven-thirty, at
the latest; and, with the exception
of two matinee days, when he puts in
four hours for each performance, he
has nothing to do but to follow his
own bent. Four days of four hours
each, and two days of eight hours,
comprise his working time for the

in an extra days work, because he
must play on Sunday; but this is not
a regular thing, as his stay in the

he lives, in comparison to other wage
earners, a decidedly easy life. The
stock company is a dramatic peni-
tentiary, as one actor has called it,
with its daily rehearsals and matt
nees, and a new part to study every
week. But comparatively few actors
choose this kind of work They are
generally forced into it, from one
cause or another, and usually aban-
don it whenever the opportunity Of
fers. Then, again, the ratio of stock
companies to combination, or travel
ing, companies is very small.
TO return, then, to the hard work
OF the actor, as class. All the
really hard work comes in the prepa-
ration to play. To prepare new play
for production requires an average of
four weeks of rehearsal. For one
that has been acted for one or more
seasons, two weeks are ample.
Rehearsals of new play are ardu-
Gus and great strain on the nerves.
For the first two weeks, rehearsals
will last from eleven in the morning
until four or five in the afternoon.
Sometimes not often - during the
fourth week there may be an even

Think of the nerve-racking parts
they have played since the time of
our grandmothers, and then say that

ONE other thing that makes the
- actors life seem attractive to the
average young person is the desire to
travel, to see the country. The old
stager hates the sight of train, and
quails at the thought of trip to the
coast but to the young person who
has not travelled, a trip to California,
Florida, or anywhere away from
home, is a novel and delightful ex-
perience; and in becoming an actor
he sees the opportunity for all this.
Not only is it true that ninety

ing session. In isolated cases, with
big productions, there may be two
or three dress rehearsals; but in
ninety per cent of companies there
is only one.
Dress rehearsals are trying and
firing. They generally last from
seven at night until seven in the
morning. The manager is cross; the
author is peevish, the stage director
is cranky; the stage hands are
grouchy; and the actors are tired,
sleepy, and hungry. Everybody hates
everybody else before morning. The
actors swear that no other class of
people in the world are so hard
worked; and, in measure, this is
true - for the time being. But when
the dress rehearsals are over, the
hard work of the actor is over,
whether the play be a success or
failure. If it is failure, the reason
is obvious; if it is a success, this is
the explanation:

DEMOCRATS IN A wRASGLE.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Durham Herald says the Demo-
Gratis are fighting over the tariff bill
and have been unable TO agree on
the various schedules. The special
says progressive Democratic Senator's
have protested to the President
against the bill as proposed by the
leaders. Mr.. Underwood has at
tempted to aiIay their fears by issu-
ing statement that reports con-
corning the work done by the com
mittee are based On scant informa-
tion and are misleading. However.
this statement has served only TO
pour oil on the fire and certain SEN
ators are now forming a linee up to
send the bill to the waste basket. The
DEMOCRATS from Louisiana and colo
RADIO will vote against any bill that
tinker with the tariff on sugar. And
There are OLHSIS. It AOOE
Leader Underwood is low in his
mind and the secret of his uneasi-
ness has been communicated to the
White House.
And this isn't the only hitch in
their harmony program. Democratic
opposition has developed in the
House to the plan agreed upon by
Representative Underwood and other
party leaders, that no committees
should be appointed at the open
ing of the special session except those
necessary to the transaction of rou-
tine business and the handling of
the tariff revision bills.
Certain Congressman think this
program is. intended to whip them
into line on the tariff, and they are
demanding that the committees be
named at the opening of the session
and have taken their appeal to Pres
ident Wilson.

Col. J. Hamilton Lewis, most re-
Gently OF Illinois, has been elected
a United States Senator from that
State. 1t may be noted in passing
that Colonel Lewis did not give the
Office a chance to look for him. He
was twice an aspirant for the Office
of ,vice-President. He was busy
visiting Democratic politicians dur
ing the last campaign, and he has
been busy ever since trying to locate
an Office.
There are a number of States that
could claim Mr.. Lewis should they
have any desire along that line. He
has been a resident of Georgia, Vir-
ginia, Washington, State, and II we
are not mistaken, he resided in Cali
fornia for awhile, but more recently
he pitched his tent in Illinois. When
he encountered difficulty in getting
the senatorship he went to Wash
ington and got Mr.. Bryan to ride
out home with him and turn the
trick. However, a Republican was
also elected at the same time.

VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR.

If Governor Mann, of Virginia,
shows up all around as we'll as he
did in the case of the Aliens, Vir-
ginia has a Governor that is a credit
to the State.
Two of the Aliens who shot up the
court at Hillsville, Va, about a year
ago were under death sentence. The
Governor had reviewed the case and
had refused to commute their sent
ence.
The Aliens were Democrats and
were leaders in their section of Car
roll County. Great political pres
sure was brought to bear ON the
Governor, but he stood firm. The
day before the execution he left for
trip to New Jersey but when he
heard the Lieutenant Governor was
trying to find a way to commute
the sentence of the Aliens he re.
turned to Virginia soil in time to
call halt to any interference. The
Governor performed his duty as he
saw, and understood the circum.
stances. He Is to be commended.

stated that the President and his

President Wilson should attempt to
see all the candidates, for office he
would not have time to do anything
else. But haven't things changed!
1t was only a few years ago that the
Democratic organs in the State were
claiming that Democrats were not of
fice-seekers, but worked for the good
OF their party and their country.
Now the Democratic office-seekers
are swarming around Washington SO
that President Wilson has been
forced to close the White House
