Mr.. Wright's greatest study for ten
years has been men and conditions.
His familiarity with the different pbas-
es of life has been drawn upon in this
play of THAT Printer OF Udell's."
A short time ago. he became impressed
with the value of the stage as a factor
in reaching a vast number of people
and arranged with Messrs. Gaskill and
MacVitty to present his novels in
dramatic form. Their FIRST tryout was
THE Shepherd of the Hills" which
being one of the most successful books
ever written, at once sprang into
favor as a play. This has been fol.
lowed by "That Printer OF Udell's,"
the book that really made Mr.. Wright
as an author, and if possible, it has
made a better play than a book.
The characters are strong, we'll drawn
and true to life in every particular
Each M is so entirely different from
the other and yet SO lifelike in their
portrayal, that one lives with them
during the performance, and when we
have followed the struggl les of Richard
Falkner and smiled at the odd c~on,eits
and dry kind humor of good Old Uncle
Bobbie, we cannot but feel that Mr..
Wright has proved how true are the
words OF the Scotch poet Burns, "a
mans a man for all of that"

HAIR STEALER
Attacks Aberdeen Girls With
Beautiful Tresses

Aberdeen, Feb. l1.-Authorities
are worried here over mysterious as
saults on young girls in the city recent
ly by a mar claimed to be of slender
build medium in height, smooth sssha-
ven, we'll dressed but wearing q light
weight. three quarters length overcoat.
and a light gray cap. His object is
apparently to cut off his intended vic
tins hair, but thus far his efforts
have been fruitless.
The first attempt was made two
weeks z upon Agnes Tracy, Is years
old, while the girl was turning into
her home about 8 O'Clock in the eve
ming. Her assailant grabbed her hair
while he tried to muffie her screams,
but she broke away, screamed and the
man took to flight. Sine mas beautiful,
long. wavy, black hair which she
wears in two long braids.
Mildred Roose. 10 years of age. was
the last intended victim. After three
attempts to get the giil out of the house
evenings by calling up her mother and
asking that the girl attend rehearsals
at the school building for Lincoln day
exercises, pretending that he was con
nected with the rehearsals. the man
grabbed the girl as she was walking
home from the theatre with her aunt
and another woman.
The man had what appeared to be a
pair of heavy shears in his hands. but
before he could sever her heavy braid
of beautiful chestut colored hair, the
girls companions sprang at the man
and he ran up an alley and made good
his escape. Diligent search by the po-
lice officers have thus far failed to trace
him.

MARRIAGE A HABIT TO WOMEN
Writer Asserts They Want Husbands
to Escape Being Called
"OId Maids"

Women have the marrying habit;
men do not. This is not strange, for
generations of girls have been taught
that every woman should be married,
and that to remain unwed is dis
grace. Being a married woman"
has been a sort of boast of superior
ity on the part of wives. Naturally,
because their mothers and almost ev-
cry other person of their own sex put
a great deal of emphasis on the de-
STABILITY Of being married, and none
at all on the desirability, which
sometimes exists, of remaining un-
married, girls looked on marriage as
the goal of ambition, and bent their
whole energies to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the stigma of
being cold maids" they took the first
man who gave them a chance. Their
object was not love, not husband,
but simply to acquire the status,
privileges and Difference which they
had been taught were denied to all
of their sex except the married
woman"
The same mothers who fairly drive
their daughters to marry are singu-
larly reluctant to see their sons wed.
The mother who is employing all the
arts and craft of the chase to entrap
some other woman's son for her
daughters husband will weep at the
announcement that the other wom-
ans daughter has shackled her SON.

titude of,not knowing what he had
done, did not attend nor did Capt

are in a hospital here. ] Waities
Waring, assistan: United States at
torney, questioned the witnesses. 1t
was decided to hold Perkins for
trial on the charge of having killed
Mr. Hinman.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that Perkins he'd been taking what
he called headache powders to ex-
cess and his roommate, N K Went
worth of Connecticut, said he was
suspicious of Perkins because of this.
Soon after s o'clock last night
Perkins, clad in pajamas and rain
coat, approached Capt Ingram, and
Mr. and Mrs Hinman, who were in
conversation. He addressed a re-
mark to Capt Ingram, who replied
that Perkins must wear more suit
able apparel if he wished to mingle
with other passengers. Perkins whip
ped out his revolver and fired at
Capt Ingram, the bullet taking effect
in the Captains abdomen. He then
shot Mr. Hinman and turned the
weapon OH Mr. Wright, who was re-
clining on a settee. He shot Mr.
Hinman again and tried to shoot
Capt Ingram, the bullet going wild.
He turned the pistol on himself, but
| its five cartridges had been dis
charged. The steward and assist
ant steward of the Mohawk and sey-
eral passengers, hearing the shots,
rushed to the scene and overpower-
ed Perkins, who told his captors that
they could do as they pleased with
him but,e witnesses allege, that ne
wanted to get others who were on
the ship. Perkins was placed in
irons and held under close surveil-
lance and when the Mohawk docked
this afternoon he was given into the
custody of the authorities, by whom
he was placed in the insane ward of
