Witness.

A case of assault and battery was

Solicitor Williams was carefully in

an old colored man we'll known about
the city.
What relation did this negro, Bill
Brown, bear to the woman whom he
struck" asked the solicitor.
Hes her step-husband, boss" the
woman answered.
"Step-husband?" Numbered the SOL
icitor in amazement. What in blazes
is a step-husband?
"Yas'sah," replied the old darkey

| therefore embarrassed-a pre-emin-
emily well-bred "covite's" daughter.
Her dignity, like that of her "pap's" is
unassailable.
Her religion is that of the eagle who
scars aloft over the serrated crags that
make the horizon of her world. In
spite of the circuit rider with his
preachment of hell and never of a
heaven, she learns the story of the
Crucifixion from the small fairy stones
found in the shape of crosses in the
hills, she has been taught by her pap"
to consider the Heavenly orbs as ami
mate beings and who sees in every an
NAL friend and in the tree and stone
the eternal endowment of life.
The superstition of June and her
people is of three kinds; useful, VIC
ious and innoxious for instance, such
as built the Pyramids, such as burnt
the witches at the stake and such as
suggests to a person the desirability of
seeing the new moon over his right
shoulder. June, however, has the SUI
perstition of the Pharaohs, for she
builds as high as her lonesome pine a
ladder of faith in her daily communing
with her sisters spirit, which she be-
lieyes dwells in the tree.

Miss Eleanor Monte as JUNE in "7he Trail of The Lone

An angry mountaineer, especially
the "covite" of the Cumberland Range
Is not a pleasant spectacle, according
to Eugene Walter, the author of 1.-THE
Trail of the Lonesome Pine" in its
stage form. The Mountaineer, says
Mr. Walter, retains his outward COM
posture giving no sign by gesture or
raised voice of the passion within. His
drawl is slower than ever, his down
cast eyes narrow to cleaning Sits, his
lips wear a sarcastic smile and his
hand is steady In this mood he will
sit all day on a woodpile holding the
lock of his gun under his coat to pro-
tect it from the rain until the proper
moment for its use arrives.
His enemy he sums up: Hit do
seema peety thet low down shOte,
KANT stay where he belongs at.
hate powerful to be disobleeein', but eff
he comes devilmentin' around me agin
hit seems like I've jes' natchully got
him to kill"
There Is small ground for the sem
timentaI fear" says Mr. Walter, that
the mountaineer will become vulgar
lied by ontact with the outer world.
The dignity of the mountaineer is I'M
assailable; he may be culpable, tire
some. exasperating, pathetic, but new
er ridiculous"
His mountain home is his castle;
built OF logs it is made as impregnable
as possible and only two models are
followed, the single and double dwell
ing. The choice of site is governed
by the location of spring. The house
is often placed so that at noon the sun
will shine in the doorway according
to a straight line, thus supplying the
place of a clock, if one were necessary
among such accurate guessers of the
time of day. The interior of the house
is just as reproduced in the big pro-
duction of the play 1t contains few
pieces of necessary furniture of do
nestle manufacture. The ample bed
and trundIe bed underneath are COW
cred with patchwork quilts.
Miss MonteII. in her Interpretation
of June, has exactly copied the manner
OF dress among the mountain women.
