carried with the production-an uu-
usual dramatic treat is promised.

audiences, both of which had many
hearty laughs at the new stuff nut

whom appear BACKED up like regular
burnt cork comedians. The perform
ance is in two parts, the first setting
following somewhat the style used by
all minstrel organizations. The girls
wear colonial costumes. There are
four lend men," and they do pretty
we'll, especially the fat one who holds
down the left end. She has a baritone
voice that she employs to advantage
nj her dialogue and songs. There are
several pretty vocal numbers. In the
olio there is a smart dialogue by a
girl who knows the art of getting an

Did there ever live an artist who could
make picture equal in beauty to what
we now see on every valley and hillside
There more colors and shades are seen
than the rainbow ever possessed, land
distance lends enchantment to the
view"
Early in the week our days visitor
consisted of Ransom Cummings of Bry.
ant Pond, who was farmer and also dealt
somew hat in stock in his former days;
steers being his favorite cattle for hand
ling, having bought and sold between 40
and so pairs during that time. And no
matter how wild or refractory they were
when bought, II he owned them long
enough they were sure to be we'll brok.
en- or educated when sold. Such an ex.
pert was Mr.. Cummings in this employ
nent, the neig hbors used to say he must
have been born with gosd in bis hand.
Later John Bryant, wife and another
lady of Freeport, called on their way
home from Hastings and other back
towns, having been on an outing nearly
two weeks, their mode of conveyance be-
ing an auto of course.
And this is the way they ate shark
and called 1t fine till found out what il
was down on the coast:
A fisherman, while fishing for some
other kind caught shark, and wishing
to see how it would go If called by some
other name, he dressed 1t of in the
meantime calling it swordfish; and 1t
went well until lobster warden came
along and discovered the fraud and then
the game was up. But why 80 long as
it tasted good and proved healthy?

DIR. Eliot on Americas Attitude

Elsewhe in this issue OF the Demo-
crat is published an article written by
DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus
Of Harvard University, giving the rea-
sons why we in America favor the cause
OF the allies rather than that OF Ger
many in the present war in Europe.
This article is recommended TO the con-
siderstion of every one, and every one
can read and understand it. 1t discloses
that although DR.. Eliot is now retired
from active service, he is intellectually
unimpaired. In It's direct and lucid
style the article is the work of a scholar.
In its clear perception of fundamentals
il is the work of deep thinker.
An impressive thing about DR.. Eliots
utterance Is it's broad and catholic view,
and Its entire fairness to all concerned,
Germany as we'll as those nations who
are opposing her, and the people OF the
United States in the manifestation OF
their sympsthies. German partisans OF
the Fatherlsnd, IL they are honest, must
admit the justice of DR.. Eliots censureS.
There is also food for thought for
US Of the United States. DR.. Eliot pic
lures US as a nation of people who have
made much progress in true democracy,
and who now hold a position disinter
ested and almost unseltish In our rela-
tions with other nations, without greed
for territory, and seeking the good of all
along with our own. Can we live up to
the high standard which he has set and
claims for US?

II you will agree with everybody In
matters that are immaterial you will
save yourself great deal of time and q
great deal Of mental wear and tear.
It was Bernard Shaw who said that
war should be made as horrible as posi-
BILE; and presumably Mr.. Shaw is now
reasonably we'll satisfied.-RochesteI
Democrat and Chronicle.
The nsvies Of the warning nations have
suffered very little 80 far. Yet the cost
of the 2S minor vessels sunk makes q
staggering fortune when translated into
terms of human welfare. A rough est
mate gives z, s25, 000, 900 loaves of bread
a. the equivalent of the sll2, 900, 900 tina,
the vessels cost. The loss in this one
small field of the war has been 80 times
the amount necessary 10 save the halt
million lives that fall each year before
preventable diseases. The sum would
furnish pure free milk to the infants OF
our big cities; il would do untold good
In other ways. This from the hundred
milliou-dollsr naval loss alone. The
London Nation estimates at last 90 mil
lions day for the armies. Multiply IL
out and the human waste is literally
staggering. -Philadelphis Ledger.
