STORM was blowing on ths

girls were hrrryinG homeward with
their nocks of goats.
The older one, whose name was
Rita, ran ahead, paying but little at

smaller one. Gyetcher, stayed back in
spite OF the tempest and saw that
even the tinicst went safely down
the path.
Eut when the two girls got back to
their widowed mothers cottage, they
found that a lame sheep was missing.

But Gretchen did not listen. Out
into tine rain she went, far DIP the

cry OF n goat in cleft in rock.

found herself in great cave which
was all of carved white rock. About

Masterful Acting In
The Prodigal Judge
By JULIA MURDOCH.

I"HERE are many things that are
unusual In ''The Prodigal Judge,
| y the dramatization of Vaughan
Kester's novel that is being pre-
scented at the Columbia Theater this
| week by the "Prodigal Judge" Com
pany, Inc, with George Fawcett in the
role Of the lovable Judge slocum Price,
ex-member Of Congress, and some time
major general Of the militia of his
State. To begin with, It is a mans
play. OF the sixteen speaking charac-
ters In THE Prodigal Judge" all but
two of them are for men, and the two
women in the play are seen only in the
first and last of the four acts The
fourteen men are not counted In with
a score or more of men who form the
mob in the quaint court house scene.
Then, too, the play is different" in
that 1t turns the leaves of the Book of
Time back to the middle thirties. into
the picturesque mountain section Of
Tennessee at a time when life was
primitive, and to a locality where the
only law men recognized was the law
Of the -ever-ready rifle.
Rare Characters Presented.
The picturesque mountain characters
to which the audiences at the Columbia
are introduced this week include any
number Of rare types, the most Of whom
have entirely disappeared from view.
There are the members Of the feudal
mountain clan, precious villains OF
those early days. ready to shoot with
out a moments warning. and to go to
any length to accomplish their purpose.
There are the usual loungers about the
courthouse. and then there Is the Judge
himself, bibulous, tender. big-hearted,
and lovable. who is ready always to go
to any length, either to serve friend,
to champion the cause Of some unfortu-
nate. or to obtain the wherewithal TO
purchase a drink Of his favorite liquor.
corn whisky. What ] admire in this
play Is not so much the play itself as
the excellent character work OF Mr.
Fawcett, In which he is scoring a per-
sonal triumph this week. The drama
tist and author are strongly indebted
to the actor who makes interesting and
not improbable an extraordinary and
rather impossible series Of Incidents. In
all of the four acts Mr.. Fawcett Is
delight, not only in the conventional
sense Of his personality and his ntness
for the part of the lovable old judge.
but in point of view of his art. He gives
the audience a portraiture that Is unique
and delightful, and, with the exception
of two other characters in the play. II
might be said that Mr.. Fawcett is him
self the play.
Other Roles Well Taken.

Mehaffey. secretary and friend to the
Judge, is as fine a bit of character act
ing as 1 have ever seen on any stage,
especially in his temperamentally sol
emn moods. In his death scene. which

There is power in numbers unified
if directed to purpose and great
achievements may be wrought through
its agency, if confidence is secured.
1t is a mighty defense against at
tack, and a protection to individuals
as well as support to bodies. 1t would
be better for the situation of every
man. in his material affairs, If he
should realize it's Importance, and
strive to improve his condition by
practice. 1t has ever been somewhat
strange, that the negro fails, as a
race, to note the strides of the 9th
ers of mankind in pushing forward the
movements of the world through the
force of combination. Fear, begotten
of suspicion has ever kept him in the
rear ground of civilization because his
aspirations are crippled, thereby
Nothing is gained without venture;
and he who hesitates to take the first
steE will never be able to walk. That
which has been accomplished by one
may likewise reward the labors of the
other; but lack of endeavor will al
ways retard the completion of any de-
of half-hearted attachment, which, usu-
ally, swerves aside when actual serv-
ice is demanded. Ignorance mistrusts
intelligence, because it has so often
fallen a victim to its wiles; and the
former is divided through jealousy.
There are, therefore some reasonable
causes for the dissensions which tend
to weaken the ties of union; but, in
nature, there exists a remedy for each
ill. Human struggles cannot be borne
in severalties; and whenever it is
undertaken the end, thereof, is de-
structiye. OF course, no man fore
sees his destiny; nor can he deter
mine what his end will be; yet, to aim
high to dare and do will often bring
fruits to chivalry. That general who
fails to prepare because ignorant of
the outcome of the struggle, will ever
be the loser nor will he be rewarded
for wisdom because he refuses to
make an attempt. Defeats are not al
ways shameful; for out of them very
often great victories are born. The
stigma arises when once defeated he
fails to come again.

DR.. G. H. Glover says the artihclal
conditions under which the horse is
placed and the unusual demand exact
ed of him result in almost every case
in diseased conditions which make
him incapable of doing the work he
would otherwise do. Shoeing, which
places him under artificial conditions,
combined with the hard roads, over
work and improper feeding, soon pro-
duce inflammatory conditions which
may result in side bones, ring bones,
coffin joint, lameness, cracks In the
hoof wall, contracted heels and
great many more diseases too numer-
Gus to mention. In many cases the
horse must be shod; but there certain
ly is far too much shoeing done. 1t is
surprising how much work the horse
can do under most conditions without
shoes if he be brought gradually to
the work, and little care and judg-
ment be exercised in this matter dur
ing the first three or four years OF
the colts life. AS long as horses that
have weak or defective feet are used
for breeding purposes, just so long
will there be horses with predisposi-
tion to these things, and money will
accordingly be lost on them. A horse
with fairly good feet will not need to
be shod unless he be worked on the
pavement. race track or in mountain
Gus districts. 1t is a mistake to allow
the blacksmith used to buttress on the
soles of the feet or the rasp on the
outside. Shoes should not be allowed
longer than four weeks on the horse
without resetting.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-08-08

People who are afraid of themselves
and run away from themselves, and
who expect other people to respect
them when they are prosperous and to
assist them in their troubles, always
get left at the post of life, like a
balky horse in race. They are in
class with the little girl in rag time
who sings defiance to the little boy
in the following couplet:
You can't swing on my front gate!
You can't play in my back yard!
You can't kiss me on my cheek
Because don't love you any more!"
Having no little boy to do it with
her she has to do it with herself, all
by her lonesome, and that is mighty
unsatisfactory and Improbable way
for little folks or big folks to do any
thing, from coming through the rye"
to building a tunnel under the North
and East rivers. People, great and
small, have got to work together in or
der to accomplish anything. 1t they
can't get others to work with and for
them they have to work with and for
themselves. The readers of The Age

negroes of Mound Bayou are making
segregation pay them. They don't
care whether white folks swing on
their front gate or not; indeed, they
prefer to swing on their own front
gate, as it pays them better; that is
to say, it pays them better to attend
