Greatest Dramatic Success.

''The Leopard's Spots" which will
be presented at the opera house. We'd
nesday, November u, is under the per-
sonal direction of Thomas Dixon who
has given to the stage some of its
greatest successes, among them 'The
Clansman' and "The Sins of The Faith
err
"The Leopard's Spots" mas the uni
que distinction, Of being dramatized
by its author. 1t is rare thing that
a successful author has sufficient
knowledge of stagecraft to dramatic
his own books and the wish is usually
left to some one who in the very ma
ture of things can not be in full SYM
pathy with the various characters,
which the author has created, and the
result is usually poorly constructed
play. Mr. Dixon, who is a past mas
ter in stagecraft, was determined that
no such fate would o'ertake "The
Leopard's Spots" so decided to let
everything else 90 and dramatic the
book himself. The result g tha go
est dramatic success Of recent years.

Attack on Jerome.

Concord, N H., Nov. 5.-ln tnelr
last brief filed with Gov. Felker to-
day counsel for Thaw savagely ar
raigns Mr.. Jerome for what is charged
to be a gross breach of professional
ethics in appearing as a witness be-
fore the New York county grand
Jury, which found an indictment
charging the fugitive with conspira-
cy. The validity of the indictment
and the new petition for extraditlon
are attacked on the ground that an
insane man could not be guilty OF
conspiracy. The State Of New York
must prove on trial a lucid interval
and mental responsibility at the
time of offense, it is eontended.
1t is contended that the second
indictment is void because it was
obtained without the order of a
court in direct violation of section
27O of the criminal code. The
brief also charges bad faith upon
the part of the representatives OF
the State of New York.

vember 1, 1910. This appointment
came to Col. Babb unsought, as did
later the appointment for the term
of two years commencing January IS,
1911, upon the recommendation of the
present adjutant and inspector gen
eral of South Carolina, by whom the
position was tenered Col Babb.
On April Z, 1913, Col. Babb was ap-
pointed by Governor Blease United
States disbursing officer for the Ma
tional Guard of South Carolina.
In the discharge of the duties of
assistant to the adjutant general,
Col. Babb has displayed the same eff
cheney as when commanding his COM
pany of infantry, and the business
like and systematic methods Of con-
ducting the affairs of the Adjutant
generals Office that have been intro
duced since 1910 are evidence of his
efficiency and ability.
In his official dealings with mem
bers of the National Guard from all
sections of the State, he has shown
the same unfailing courtesy to every
one.
Before going to Columbia to &C
cept the position he now holds, Col.
Babb was deputy clerk of court of
Laurens county, and was closely
identified with the BUSINESS interests
of his town and county. In taking up
the duties Of assistant adjutant gen
eral, he made a personal financial
sacrifice which was inspired by his
love for the militia, and his zeal in
the interest of the efficiency of the
National Guard of his State, and his
hope of being promoted to the head OF
this service should be realized in the
next primary, if his valuable service
are taken into account by the people
of the State.
1t is hoped that the National Guard
throughout the State will recognize
what it means to them to- have a con-
petent head of the military depart
ment, and that they will unite in an
effort to promote Col Babb to the po-
sition to which his merit and mis- SER
vices so Justly entitle him.

father with questions all the long,
rainy afternoon He had been very
patient, but he had not read his news
paper.
They had asked where clouds came
from and where they were going;
where the sunbeams were when it
rained and why no one bad ever
counted the San,l0 PARTICLES on the
shore; but when they asked where yes
terday had gone grandfather sighed.
Don't bother him any more. Mary
said
Grandfather laughed. LET me ask
you a question:" he said, "and if you
can't answer it You must not ask me
any more today"
The children agreed to this plan and
grandfather asked, How can you
make eight out of thirteen:'
The children retired to q corner and
were still for some time. At last Dor
othy tiptoed back Can it be done on
paper" she asked
Yes" said grandfather. land with
one stroke of the pencil
The children trotted away to the IL
brary, and no more was heard from
them until tea time Their faces show
that they had given up"
After tea grandfather called them
and drew the Roman numerals-thir-
teen. Then he drew a straight line
through the center horizontally cut
making eight

When you have company, get one
to be the accomplice and show the
others this bit Of magic.
The accomplice leaves the room,
while the others decide on an article.
which the accomplish is to guess from.

You have arranged with him that.
the right article is the one after you
have mentioned one beginning with
vowel
You can make this as mysterious as
you like
For instance the article agreed on
by the company is the clock. When
your accomplice comes back you ask
him rs it a mirror" mirror begins
with a consonanb. No
as it chair:' CHAIR begins with a.
consonart. NO"
is it the carpet?" Carpet begins
with a consonanD. No
''Is it the album?' {Album begins

rs it the clOck?'' Yes ..
Should any of the company catch on
or should you want to vary the
magic" you decide with your accom-
p!ice to name an object with legs,
like table or chair, before giving the
object agreed upon and to which the
final answer is YES"
