much contrast as do the Justin Hunt

considered to be the greatest OF the
master dramatist's comedies.
To those who had not seen If Were

with the solemnity of blank verse, came
as a considerable surprise. Mr.. Sothern'
to my recollection, has presented the
play twice before in Washington. the
last time with Miss Cecilia LOTUS in
the role of Katherine. There has been
a gap Of several years since the play
was last given here. and those VINO

anew a great play, play which thrilled

with its romantic language and Its
tale of the Villon who rose from the
gutter to be high constable of France.
Fine Presentation of
McCarthy's Masterpiece.
Justin Huntley Mccarthy never
penned finer lines than those which he
placed in the mouth of Villon in this
bit of medieval French history, and
surely one could not ask for a better
reading than that which was given by
Mr. Sothern. Merely to hear him read

This quotation, emblaZoned
on the green velvet cur
| tain which supplants the usual fig
ured drop at the Belasco Theater
this week. epitomizes not only the
work of William Shakespeare which
is being presented there. but the efforts
of E. Fl. Sothern and Miss Julia Mar
lowe, who are presenting it. The mas
ter dramatists art is for all time; the
masterful characteriZations given by
the co-stars and their superb company
will endear them for all time to the
American people.
Shakespeare was recognized as a
genius before the advent of the Sothern-
loved and his memory treasured as that
of the greatest of English dramatlsts;
but to Mr.. Sothern and to Miss Mar
lowe belongs the honor of popularizing
his plays with the present generation
of the American theatergoing public, Of
making them understandable by the
sensible reading of blank verse, of cast
ing them with skill and attention to
detail, and of staging them with a
magnificence which may have been sur
passed in isolated instances, but never
in the whole.
Success Surprising
Expectation of Stars.
That the co-stars have succeeded in
their work. in n measure even surpass-
ing their own expectations. is evidenced
by the present week at the Belasco.
Every performance SO far has been
packed to the doors, and the manage
ment reports an unprecedented seat
sale for the remainder of the week.
Truly nave genius and talent been
crowned with commercial success
which. after all, is all that insures the
continuance OF this genius and talent,

for the great educational work they
are doing-to the American people be-

DIR. WILEY ON MATRNIONY

Washington, Aug. 30.-Dr Wiley eN-chief chemist. has some idea, relative to matrimony. They be- gin by the injunction to young men to marry the right girl" But that isn't all. Here is the doctors pre- scription for marital happiness:
 Treat your wife white. Put a leash on your temper, even if your wife loses hers. Remember how nice and polite you treat your friends wives, and treat yours just as respectfully.
 Never forget your wife was once "a blushing maiden and you had a hard time wooing her. Keep up the wooing after marriage If your wife loves your son better than she does you, bear it tranquilly. Motherhood is her mission.
 If your wife is doing her part a man won't get bored and go to the club. Give your wife a monthly allowance and never ask an ac- counting for it. Be faithful and true, and you will find that married life is a bed of roses and not a field of battle"

PLEA FOR GOOD

Commissioner of Highways R. G. Dye Supports Governors PrOcla-

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-The follow ing proclamation has been issued by the commissioner of state high ways, in furtherance of Governor Hays Good Roads proclamation. "To all County Judges:
 "Wednesday and Thursday, Sep tember 3-4, have been set apart by the Hon. George w. Hays, governor, to be observed by the people of Ar kansas as Good Road days. With the cooperation of everybody a great deal of good can be accomp- lished. Without hearty co-opera- lion very little good can be done.
 The highway department of Ar Nansas was represented at the two days work session held August 20- '2l in Missouri. and watched the work in several sections of the state during the two days. Much good was accomplished and a great deal of enthusiasm was aroused.
 Many men will volunteer for this work who know little about road work. and many more will be phy- sically unable to accomplish much. Every little helps. Every lick will count. Every man can do a little.
 I'll. is the governors desire that the county judges arrange for the 5vcrseers in the various districts to ahe direct charge of the work. Or .anjzation is essential. Each road should have it's workers organized into work squads. Select the bad places in your roads and repair hem If you have men who can lot handle axe pick and shovel, set hem to throwing rocks out of the road or driving teams. Select the nen for the work with reference 10 their strength and ability. Do not expect to build permanent ma aadam highways. Arrange to put your present highways in shape. Repair he bad places, fill up the ruts and clean out the ditches. Re- move the rocks and obstacles to traffic and shape up the roads.
 September 3 and i will be re- ferred back to as the days of awakening of the Arkansas move ment for Good Roads.

RA|DED STILLS IN EARLY DAYS
E. J. Leeds Broke Up Stills and Ar- rested MOOnShiners Within Sight of Where Mena Now Stands

E. J. Leeds, a contractor of Kan sas City, stopped over today in Mena, en route to Beaumont, Tex
 Alr. Leeds was for several years connected with the internal reve- nue department and a deputy |. s. marshal, operating out of Ft Smith, but for the past twenty years has been in the contracting business in Kansas City.
 There was no town here when 1 was in the service" said MT. Leeds to a representative of The Star The people would go overland to Waldron to trade, loading a bale of cotton and a camping outfit into a wagon, it taking them from one to two weeks to make the round trip, depending upon wheth- CT they used horses or steers as the motive power.
 The average native citizen thought he had a divine right to make 'moonshine' whisky, and some of them sure made life miserable for us revenue officers.
 We raided still within hun dred yards of where the standpipe is located, but the shines put up too stiff a fight for us to capture any of them.
 "I do not remember exactly the location, but it was just a few miles west of where the town is now located, there was an old grist mill where corn was ground to make the mash used in the manu- facture of white mule whisky. But I will say that it was the best guarded piece of property l ever saw. A stranger could not get within a half mile of the place without being stopped and request ed tO take another trail, and if they were endowed with good sense they generally complied with the re- quest. I tried to run the gauntlet by myself one time. and l often wonder why I am not running yet They spied me within a hundred yards of the mill. and. outside of the army. have never seen so many squirrel rifles and siX-shoot- CTS in one place. and every one of them was pointed directly at mo. l was told to get out of that 'holler,' and as evidence of the fact that I got out in a hurry-here I am.
