The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-09-14

In the afternoon of August 8. 1859.
thousands of boys all over the land
were going to the pasture for their
cows, over the hillsides, through the
green lanes, and beside the brooks.
What they said. what they did and
what little things befell them by the
way they have all forgotten, and every
body has forgotten but God. He has
treasured them up In the book of His
rem em brance. But there is one boy
whose going to the pasture that after
noon lis not forgotten What befell
him by the way Is known all over the
land and will probably never be for
gotten by generations to come. This
was the Norwegian lad, Knud Iverson,
who lived In Chicago.
After school that day he went 10
fetch his cow, as free-hearted and
light hearted as boys usually are 60

Polly Putof

Her real name was Polly Putnam.
but everybody called her Polly Putofr
OF course. you can guess how she
came to have such a name 1t was
because she put Off everything as long
as she possibly could.
"Ohi you can depend on Polly for
one thing" Uncle Will would say.
You can depend on her putting off
everything. but that is all you can de-
pend on" And am sorry to say he
spoke the truth.
Polly. Polly" mother would say in
despair. "how shall 1 ever break you
of this dreadful habit.'
1t was just three days to Polly's
birthday, and she had been wondering
very much what her mother and faith
er intended to give her. She thought
music-box would be the best thing,
but she was almost afraid to hope
for that A man who went about sell
fng them had brought some to the
house. and Polly. had gone wild with
delight over their pretty musical
tinkle
Polly" mother said that morning,
here Is q letter that I want you to
post before school,"
Yes. mother" answered Polly,
putting the letter in her pocket.
As she reached the school house.
she saw the girls playing: and she
stopped '.jnst a moment" Then the
bell rang. so she could not post the
letter then. She looked at the ad-
dress. 1t was directed to a man in the
next town. "Oh. II hasn't very far to
go. l will post It after school"
After school she forgot all about II.
Did you post my etter. Polly?"
asked mother. when Polly was study
ing her lessons that evening
Poliy's face grew very red. and she
put her hand in her pocket IT will
post 1t in the morning." she said faint
ly.
ut is too late" answered mother.
''The man to whom the letter Is di-
rected went away this evening, and /
haven't his address 1t really only
matters to yourself. for 1t was an
order for music-box for your birth
day"
20 mother" exclaimed Polly" is /,
really too late?"
II don't know where he is now"
said mother. III you had not put OFF
posting the letter. he would have re-
ceived II before he started, and sent
the music-box. 1t Is too late now
Wasn't that hard lesson? 1t cured
Polly. though; and she has nearly lost
her old name.--Christian Uplook.

Norfolk, va.
Dear Aunt Nancy,--Dallas has writ
ten you about our visit together at
Ocean View. 7 enjoyed seeing her
again very much. I wonder IL the
cousins know Dallas and / used to
be playmates in Farmviile before I
moved to Norfolk. My uncle and
aunt, with their two children. visited
us recently. and we had quite nice
time together We spent the day at
Ocean View. We took our lunch and
had fine time. We went to the
park twice and took our lunch. But
all these good times must come TO
close as school opens next Wednesday.
l dread getting started. I wonder how
the cousins feel about getting started
in school. We have had quite rain
and wind storm today. I know not
many of cousins haze such-high
wind as we have on the coast. /
don't envy the sailors during the
storms
Lovingly,

That Emntv Rack Seat.

A very small girl. beside whose
chair leaned little crutch. pressed
her face against the window pane one
morning and watched the man who
lived next door as he backed his auto
mobile out of the garage; she was abb
solutely motionless while he inspected
the car, cranked up the engine and
started off. After. watching him out
of sight she wiped a tear from each
eye. and picked up rag doll that lay
in her lap.

ever so little, you sit right there on

Then in burst of pity the little

heart and kissed her again and again.

IN THE DARK.

Who's afraid in the dark?
''Oh, not T. said the OWL
And he gave a great scowl.
And he wiped his eye.
And fiuffed his Jowl,-"Tu whoo!"

Afraid" said the mouse,
"Of the dark in the house!
Hear me scatter
Whatever's the matter

Then the toad in the hole
And the bug in the ground
They both shook their heads
And passed the word round
And the bird in the tree.
The fish and the bee,
They declared all three
That you never did see
One Of them afraid
In the dark.
But the little boy who had gone to bed
Just raised the bed-clothes and COW

II. Z. Krehbiel, music critic of the
New York Tribune. gave the second of
his series OF lectures on the "DeyeIop-
ment OF the Opera" last night at the
New National Museum under the aus
pices of the Washington Society of the
Fine Arts. The subject last night was
the Invention and Development of the
Italian Opera
The first part of Mr. Krehbiers lecture
was given to q discussion of the rational
basis for, and to establishing a full un-
derstanding OF the meaning OF lyric
drama He then opened the historical
part of his discourse with the earliest
beginnings OF musical drama in the first
part OF the seventeenth century, in Italy.
He drew attention to the development
away from a specifically dramatic to a
specifically musical form.
His first illustration was from Peri's
Eurydice," produced in 1900, and from
Pert's preface to this work he quoted
that the intention Of the composer was
to represent, musicsaly, the infections Of
ordinary speech
Dr. Krehbiel said there is but one
singer living today, Marcella Sembrich.
who is capable OF the marvellous feats
OF skill, invention Of cadenzas, -four
ishes, etc, that was the common possess
Va sihseTS Two Hunureu years ago.
Mr.. Krehbiel went into detail on the
history and derivation Of the technical
language Of operatic music of the sew
enteenth century, and closed with a long
quotation from the preface to Gluck's
opera 'Alceste."
Mrs. Franciska Kaspar Lawson, accom-
panied by Mrs. King, gave the illustra-
tons in song for the lecture. The next
lecture will be On Richard Wagner and
His Art-Work." and will be given jan
uary g. 1914.

DYNAMITER HIRELING
Tells OF MANY JOBS
George E. Davis, Whose Testimony
Brought Indictments, Writes Re-
markable Confession
DETAILS OF WORK ARE GIVEN

New York. Dec. 6.-One of the most ra-
| Tlarkable confessions ever made is tina
OF George Z. Davis. the dynamiter on
whose evidence the Federal grand Jury
at Indianapolis has just found indict-
ments in fifty-five cases in which Of
fcers and members of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers are defendants. The con-
fession is document of nearly 5000
words
Davis gives dates and places of dyna-
mite outrages. He relates in detail how
he was hired to blow up bridges, via
ducts, and other structures, erected by
nOnunion labor.
The confession shows how small the
reward was that Davis received for the
destruction he caused. In one case he
got $50 for a dynamite outrage; in an
ether only SO.
The confession which was made in
New York City shows that Davis was
connected with dynamite plots in connec-
ton with the following:

double tragedy in a hanson cab was re-
vealed here early today when Charles
HarbOld. the driver, opened the door to
notify his fares" man and a woman,
that they had reached their destination.
No answer came from either occupant
and HarbOld thrust in his hand to awak-
en- them, thinking they had gone to
sleep. as they had been riding for sew
eral hours.
He was unable to arouse either, and
then he found that his hand was covered
with blood. Shouting for help, Harbold
lighted a match and saw that both the
man and woman were dead.
The wOman's head was nearly severed
from her body, while the mans throat
had been cut from ear to ear. The kill
ing was done with a small black-handled
pen knife, the blade of which was about
an inch and a half long.
In the pockets of the man letters show

produce dealer of Gettysburg.
The woman was Miss Anna Honsinger,
Of Paxtang. She formerly lived at
Gettysburg.
Robert is believed to have killed the
