During experiments extending over

change in design if fun perfection of

also be some general government spe-

Lee HAYDEN Located.

While nothing has been heard
from Lee Hayden directly Mrs
Hayden has a letter from the AID
jutant General at Washington which
advises her that James L Hayden
re- enlisted Sept % and is now a
private in Troops C. First Cavalry
stationed at Presidio Monterey.
Calf. 1t is more than likely that
Lee wrote home and that the letter
was lost in some way Mr.. and Mrs
Hayden are greatly relieved because
they have located their son and
have written him and will probably
have a reply from him soon. They
feel grateful to D. H. White, Chief
of Police of San Francisco, for his
interest and his search and inquiry
on receipt of a marked copy of the
Democrat of Nov. IL which told of
the family not being able to hear
from young Hayden after his dis
charge from the army. They also
feel thankful to him for his letter of
advice and also to the Adjutant
General H. P. McCann at y ashing-
ton for prompt reply.

Ernest Christian Is Found.

Last Friday Howard Terrill was
on the street at Quincy and met
Ernest Christian who so mysterious
ly disappeared from Quincy on the
9th of Sept. Mr.. Christian left his
home at Lewistown to 90 to Palmy-
ra to attend the fair and no trace
could be found of him until MIR.
Terrill met him last Friday. He
appeared to be in a dazed condition
and could not tell where he had
been in the time he was away. Mr..
Terrill phoned Palmyra and per-
suaded MIR. Christian to stay with
him. James Christian at once went
to Quincy in car and took him to
Palmyra. He came here Monday
and went to the home of his wife's
father, Mr.. Cearfoss.

Small Blaze

Tuesday afternoon smoke was
seen coming from the upper part Of
the frame building just south of
the First Baptist church The build
ing is the property of W. w. Long
mire and is vacant. The fire alarm
was given and was promptly re-
sponded to. At the Thompson cor
ner is a fire hydrant and horse
and buggy was hitched so close
that it had to be moved before the
hose could be attached. At some
time such delay might mean the
burning of valuable property. Do not
at any time, even for a few minutes
have any obstruction in the way
near a fire hydrant. Fortunately
this fire did not have much of a
start and was soon put out.

Want More Lisht.

Now that the citizens of Hume
well have voted for more light and
now received that light by juice
from the Monroe City plant, the
StoutsviIle Banner is wanting light
in Stoutsville, from some city plant
or preferably from home plant. If
once an electric light and power
system is established they would
not do without it. The time is
fast approaching when in addition
to light and power electricity will
also largely be the method of heat
ing. not only in the cities and towns
but also on the farms.

MISS SUTTON ADVISES GIRLS

Sutton told a feminist audience at the
Little Theatre yesterday. She said II first

girl. Paris midinette and an Italian
peasant who murdered the lover who cast
her of because she had lost her beauty

"A girl must use her wits to get hus-
band. for she's no more good without one
than kettle without fire." the old. blind
Irish peasant woman declares. And no
blame at all to her for anything she does

Then came the story OF the colleen

nothing. She gave him nothing and whom
he died she took hts bags OF gold and
married her true love.
II do believe that women are better

"All the sex antagonism OF the present
day is the result OF the perversion OF

an outgrowth of the perfectly natural and
laudable desire Of women to be attractive.

BROADHURST FEARS
HIS GENIUS HAS FLED
Playwright, in AlimOny Suit,
Says lie Can Expect No
More Success.

George Broadhurst, who has earned
s204,5l4 In the past two years from
the plays THE Man of the Hour"
Bought and Paid For" and within the
Law" believes he has reached the limit
of his ability to write successful plays.
and may have to rely for the future on
Sl25. 000 he has been able to save
This statement. with Mr.. Broadhurst's
ideas on playwriting as a profession, was
made in an affidavit by Mr.. Broadhurst
on the application by his wife. Mrs Ida
Raymond Broadhurst, for alimony pend
ing suit for separation. Justice Cohalan
awarded her $4,000 a year.
ON the subject OF playwriting, Mr.
Broadhurst said:
zone characteristic that Is absolutely
essential for playwright Is imagination
ana that Is an attribute of youth. I am
In my forty-cighth year. and while do
not say that my days of achievement are
over-I prefer to think to the contrary
l am fearful that this may be so.'
Broadhurst said that his first play. THE
Spectator" written In 1894. brought him
meagre living. and the next play. 1.-THE
Wrong Mr.. Wright" written In 1895,
earned $4,000 for him in two years. In
1896 he wrote What Happened to Jones, "
and because no one else would produce II
ne did so himself. 1t was a success, as
was his next play. "Why Smith Left
Home but the profits from them were
used up in succeeding plays that failed.
He earned $55,464 from 1895 to 1906,
when he wrote The Man OF the Hour
