pletc tours of the United States and Canada, with absolutely no sign of di- min:shing popularity and will continue to do so for years innumerable.
 No musical comedy of recent years has so caught the popular fancy as the great yiennese composition, Little
 Boy. Blue It ran for nine months in New York City, and for long periods in the larger cities of this country. It lis announced as an early booking here.
 The original New York production is
 promised in all its 1nassiveness and de- tail. Little Boy Blue" will live for
 it's music alone. Like "The Merry
 Widow "Everywoman" and 'Tha.
 Prince of Pilsen,'' by the same famous
 producer. it will exist in the hearts of
 American theatregoers forever. Its mc-
 sic is particularly entrancing. It Is
 typica1ly Viennese, being done by that
 master of melody, Henry Bereny.

Now that the holiday season is over
and each person has had time and
opportunity to take an inventory of

haps Mr.. Dooley's ph~ilosophizing over
the Christmas spirit in modern times
may not be inappropriate.

that a new system is necessary.

Whipping Husbands
In the Sunny South
Vigilance Committees ia Portions 81
Florida to Attend to Men Who
Neglect Their Families.

Down in Florida, in some sections,
they have vigilance committees who
make it their special business to look
after men who persistently neglect
their families.
The inadequacy of the states laws
was made particularly plain, says the
st. Petersburg Evening Independent,
when, the other day, a man raj SEN
fenced to Jail for failing to provide
for his family. IF this were not SO
serious it would be humorous" the
paper thinks.
In a middle Florida town there was
a man who drank and lived off what
his wife earned by taking in washing,
says the same authority. He was too
trifing even to carry home the gro
ceries that she bought with her hard
earned money, and one night beat her
be, ause she asked him to take home
the groceries she bought. That night
a committee waited on him. He was
whipped just as much as he could
stand without being laid up for sew
eral days, and this was said to him:
you go to work. Get a job and
stop drinking. If you ever lift your
hand against your wife again, no mat
ter what she may have done to you,
we will break your neck. II you do
not help to provide for your wife we
will whip you again, and If we ever
hear of your being drunk we will
whip you to the limit Of your en-
durance. If you try to run away we
will hunt you down if it takes ten
years, and when we catch you we will
swing you from the limb of a tree
The Independent declares that the
man became a fairly respectable cit
izen, and it accordingly offers this
suggestion as to the duties of thu
state:
"The state should take a man WIFI
refuses to provide for his wife ant
children and compel him to work
He can be put to work for the state
! the money he earns to be paid to tn
: wife and children, or he can be whiI
ped instead of being confined in jai

Know the Best Answer She Has Received s love is Love
BY NlxoLA oREELev.sMlrH.

What Is love?
That IL what everybody In New
York is asking everybody else. as the
result of the production OF George
scarborough's play bearing that title.
A young girl hesitating In her
cnoice. between the cold. correct.
handsome lawyer TO whom she Ii en-
gagged. and the schoolboy chum who
returns suddenly from abroad and
sweeps her into the midstream OF
romance with an awakening klss.. call
upon everybody In the play to answer
the great question which life has
asked OF her:
What Is love?
Suppose somebody should ask you
That question all OF sudden, wouldn't
you founder and stutter and perhaps
say as the girls fance did. why
love Is loye-that.s ALL What q silly
question:" and change the subject?
Well that's what the people In the
play do at first. but when, they see
how much In earnest their little Lucy
IL, they try to tell her.
This isSwhat her sister-in-law says:
ITS just a sort OF magnetic thrill
that goes through you. like--!lke an.
apple toddy starts at your finger tips
and goes on till II makes your toes
tingle-and then starts on the return
trip gathering volume as II travels
TIL II envelopes your whole world IN
q sunburst Of joy" 49,
Next Lucy confers with Cora. the
little nursemaid who takes care Of
her sisters baby. Cora, who appears
not to be more than IA, and confesses
that she has never loved the limit,
yet.' describes the feeling OF kissing
by saying: II was scared TO death
but afraid to run! l was ashamed -
sort OF glad-ashamed!"
y Then Lucy. remembering the kiss
from the man to whom she Is not
engaged. interrupted: And your
face grew hot. and your heart beat
suifocatingly, and your hand acired 10
grip his hand tight. didn't it?'
In the very charming second act
OF the play which has set us all ito
asking what love Is. Lucy, at by be
tween the two men who seek posses
sion OF her heart. turns on them both
and calls upon their assembled fam!
lies to tell her what they know II
love.
When she asks her eternal question.

The father OF Bobby Hoyt. the
young fellow Lucy really loyes. has
no better luck with his definition.
Love-" he stammered, love used
to impress me as something's some
thing which made fellow feel funny
and act foolish How's that?"
or course that description of q

wildered Lucy very much and she
turns to his wife. who says.

BALL IS
WILD PITCH ALIBI

Cleveland. Feb. 7.-Cy Falkenburs,
the former Toledo. and Cleveland
pitcher, who signed with the Federals
IL few days ago. isn't surprised at all
to find that the official batting I'VE
ages issued from Ban Johnson's Office
show him to have uncorked more wild
pitchers during the 1913 baseball sea-
than any. other American league
tWirler.
The fact is that he rather expected
that he would lead the league in I'M
tanned hurls Or that IL he didn't he
would be close on the heels Of the
leader. He blames it all on the fade
away, and says it's the nature of the
beast to cause wild pitches.
The fadeaway." declares Cy, sis
naturally a dirt ball. BY that I mean
that it hits the ground close back of
the plate. You will notice that Fred
Carisch.. who was my regular catcher
all Rugged the plate as close
as: heH could back Of the batsn,an.
Well, he did that to spear those dirt
balls before they got a chance to dig
into the ground.
"lt was. because he was used to
handling the fadeaway that he was
sent behind the bat in all the games
1 pitched. I'm to he congratulated
that~only "a wild pitches got away
from him all season. even thought
that did exceed the number uncorked
by another pitcher.
