Thrown Out Because He Was
Too Interested in the PEau


81 once saw he most Interested mau
in a large audience elected from the
theater," writes Mr.. Tom Wallace in
the August Strand. at happened
twenty years ago, and l have never
ceased to feel that an injustice to al
individual was done in the interest of
the majority.
Wilson Barrett and Maud Jeffries
were playing 'Pharoh' in the old Rich
mond Theater, in Richmond, Va. The
hero-the part played by Mr.. Barrett,
of course-had had the usual hard luck
that comes to heroes of stirring dram
as during three acts. The william, who
had successfully plotted against him
from the beginning of the first act,
was a crafty and conscientious old
priest nominally a worshipper of
Egyptian gods, really a business
partner of our own Christian Devil
The hero had at last discovered the
double dealing of the priest, had corn
cred him upon lofty tower, was con
fronting him with his criminal record
denouncing him for having planned to
take away a soldiers honor, his best
girl and other cherished possessions,
and leave him stripped to his noble
hide or stabbed to the heart l do
not recall the plot in all its detail.
The hero-a fine, strapping fellow
for Wilson Barretts physique was
one Of his large assets and fitted adj
,1irably the part of the fearless war
ir'or and impetuous lover-backed. the
5aceitful man OF many gods, chiefly
leis and Osiris, against the low wall
which rose above the fiat floor-like
roof Of the astrologer's tower. The
all was about waist high. 1t was
lain to the audience that if the SOL
Ter decided to pitch the priest over
the wall into the street he could do
it, and when he threatened to do so,
after having advanced menacingly I'M
til the priest could back no further
the proyerbial pin could have been
heard to fall in the auditorium. Tho
hero, however, had not quite resolved
to do the bloody but wholly justifable
deed He hesitated He soliloquized.
To throw the old man over the wall
or not to do so was the question.
Whether 'twere better to brain him on
the fagstones by sending him hurlin :
head downward into Alexandria :
shopping district or to bullyrag him
still longer and let him go his way, a
lcreature too contemplate to be worthy
of death at the hands of a soldier?

1t is not against the law to keep a wo-

1t is wrong to steal money, wrong
to touch one thing that another has

S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
our little maybe piles of possessions
Miss Catherine Van Houten of Hack
ensack, New Jersey, is in Jail She
made the fatal mistake, in the first
place, of being a woman, and a second
error in being poor. Then she had an
old mother and home which she
wanted to keep up and the pressure of
life bore so hard on her that she augu-
mented her wretched little salary by
what she emphatically called loans"
from her employer, so she has very
rightly been put in the clutches of
the law. She has been working hard
for twenty years, hoping for raise of
salary and trusting against every reas-
enable outlook that,things would come
out right.
Her story-the story of a woman
who stole to exc oct her insufficient
pay and support her old mother, does
not sound like the tale of an imposter
or the excuse of a thief.
81 borrowed money from my en-
ployer," she said. 81 suppose some
people would say l stole it, but il
doesn't seem as though l id, because
meant to pay it back. My mother is
eighty-two years old, and an invalid.
She can walk little, but is paralyzed
and apt to fall down any time. We
own our place, but it's mortgaged
heavily. l had to hire a housekeeper
to do the work at home while | was
away, and that cost SIS a month; then
there was my Communication and that
was 81 a month, and | spent about
$3.50 a week for carfare in New York,
and there were doctors bills and ey-
erything else to come out of my salary
of $13 a week.
Things got ahead of me, and l
worked such long hours that | hadn' t
time to try to earn any extra money,
so | got desperate and borrowed ten
dollars from my employer That was
the beginning.
And the end was that from time to
time these loans" continued until
they mounted up in several years to
the sum Of $500. The overburdened
woman kept herself deceived with the
hope that her salary would be raised
and the belief that before disgrace and
exposure came she could straighten il
out 81 thought we could sell the
place, perhaps, and then l could pa!
it all up" she said.
Last Monday Mr.. Blumenfeld came
to me and said that the thought thu
payroll was rather large considerins
the number Of employees and asked n.
where all the money was going. Their.
wasn't any use in trying to lie ahou
| it, so I just told him l was borrowing
ten dollars a week. He didn't shoa
any surprise. He didn't even seen
provoked, but told me to go on witt
my work. Later, he came around an,
told me that it was all right, and tina
could pay him back three dollars

that day.
when I'd got all my work done, h.
came in with a detective and had m
arrested. I didn't even get my week
salary, but had to come away as
was without a cent"
1t is just a simple little story o
taking something that didn't belong t.
her. Clearly fit subject for the law
the employer does not hold himself il
the least responsible for the tragedy

~SUMTER IN THE LEGISLATURE

was Sumter county man who was
finally successful in having bill pass
ed which provides for such an Office.
For several terms of the Georgia leg
islature "Crawf~ WheatIey has fought
to create the Office of Heutenant-gov-
ernor and his dream has been real
lied.
Georgia has Sumter and her repre-
sentatives to thank for these two i'm
portant measures. The two gentle
men from Sumter are in attendance at
this session of the legislature deter
mined to do something worth while.
Their time is engrossed with fighting
for bills that will amount to some
good for Sumter and the state at
large They are too busy to introduce
freak" bills, regulating the steps of
the tango, the distance couple must
stand from each other in dancing the
can-can and the bunny hug.
Sumter has two able representatives
in the General Assembly and they are
making history. The eyes of the
state are upon you, gentlemen, and you
are acquitting yourselves in an ad-
mirable manner.

Two live representatives in the gen.
eral assembly have pushed Sumter in
the limelight. By introducing bills
of widespread Importance and making
it possible to pass them by untiring
efforts, Representatives Sheppard and
Wheatley have made reputation for
themselves and caused the eyes of
the state to turn to Sumter.
The Sheppard Child Labor BILL
which was passed by the legislature
on Friday and which will probablygbe
passed by the senate before this arti-
Gle has been printed, has won a repu-
tation for it's chief advocate. Repre-
sentative Sheppard has fathered a
bill which will revolutionize labor
conditions in Georgia and give the
kiddies of the mill districts an even
chance with the more fortunate tots
of the state. Mr.. Sheppard has work
ed increasingly to have the bill pass
ed which will mean more to the
Georgia of the future than any meas
ure which has been introduced in
many years.

the matter is very great. Maine Is

loyal workers In various chapters and
Maine women are of a type that hold
loyalty highly and are anxious to for
word every good project for the bet

Much regret Is felt by the members
of Colonial Daughters Chapter that
their Regent. Mrs. Mabel d. Thomas,
will be unable to attend. Mrs. Thorn
as had made all arrangements to visit
Washington at this time, but certain
matters arose that compelled her to
forego the trip. As Regent, Mrs.
Thomas has been an indefatigable
worker, showing rare skill in con-
Quoting the chapter along the lines
Of efficiency SO that the members felt
that her attendance at the meetings
would still further stimulate the local
work. One Of the local councillors,
Mrs. Della c. Small, will attend the
meetings to represent Colonial Daugh-
