Or the tale of Troy divine.
Or what Though rare) Of later age
Ennobled hath the buskined stage"
This quotation, however, does not
embody literally the sentiments of the
directing forces there, for they will not
limit their attempts to ancient classics,
but will do much to encourage modern
dramatic efforts and appreciation.
Arranged to Promote Sociability.
The interior of the theatre is un-
usual. On the level parquet, which
seats one hundred persons, will be
placed little round tables. There are,
besides, two tiers Of boxes, and for
those things which add to the social
wellbeing of the audiences the arched
loggias behind the second tier give per-
haps the best view Of the natural
scenery off,etting the stage. Just as
in New York's Little Theatre, tea IS
served during the performances. All
that art and luxury can demand in the
designing of a playhouse has been
thought of in the construction of this
one, and it would be difficult TO find
one that is more wholly pleasing than
this.
"These toy theatres are snlendid
things, we think" said Mrs. Graham

LAW MAKES DRUNKARDs.

Following is an excerpt from a ser
mon on THE Man Slayer in Our
Midst" by Rev. Dr. Manley Benson Of
Canada. The words apply equally
well in the United States as in the
Dominion.
Some tell US that the revenue will
suffer if we stop the sale of strong
drink There is no revenue from the
sale of strong drink. For every dollar
received as a so-called revenue you
taxpayers pay $40 to get that dollar!
Smart G? business, that, for our
young and growing Dominion. Some
say, You cannot make folk sober by
act of parliament but we are making
drunkards by act of parliament. True,
you cannot make men sober by law,
but law can remove the temptation.
You cannot cure smallpox by law, but
you can keep the pest ridden off our
streets by law! You cannot make a
man honest by law, but you can pun
ish and make it hot for the thief! The
law can be made to dry up the sources
of this abominable traffic. We use
| precautionary measures against fire
and flood; why not against business
that is burning up the brain and
muscles of this Dominion?'

CHAPTER XXX.
The Song of the NIGHTINGALE.

The Song of the Nightingale.
Along the dark turnpike John Val
liant rode with his chin sunk on his
breast. He was wretchedly glad Of
the darkness, for it covered a thou
sand familiar sights he had grown to
love. Yet through the dark came
drifting sounds that caught at him
with clutching hands-the bay of
hound from some far-off kennel, the
whirring note of frogs, the impatient
high whinny OF horse across pasture
bars-and his nostrils widened to, the
wild braided fragrance of the fields
over which the mist was spinning its
fairy carded wool.
The preparations for his going had
been quickly made. He was leaving
behind him all but single portman-
teau- Uncle Jefferson had already
taken this-with Chum-to the sta
ton. The old man had now gone sor-
rowfully afoot to the bIockhouse, a
'half-mile up the track, to bespeak the
stopping of the express. He would go
back on the horse his master was
riding.
The lonely little depot flanked a
siding beside dismal stretch of yell
low clay-bank gouged by rains. It's
windows were dark and the weather
beaten plank platform was Illuminated
by single lantern that hung on a
nail beside the locked door, its sickly
flame showing bruise-like through
smoky streakings of lamp-black. At
one side, in the shadow, was his bag,
and beside it the tethered bulldog
sole spot of white against the melan-
choly forlornness lying with one
splinted leg. like swaddled ramrod,
sticking straight out before him.
In the saddle, Valiant struck his
hand hard against his knee. Surely
it was dreaml It could not be that
he was leaving Virginia, leaving Dam
DRY court, leaving her! But he knew
that 1t was not a dream.
Far away, rounding Powhattan
Mountain, he heard the long-drawn
boot of the coming train flinging it's
sky-warning in a host of scampering
echoes. Among them mixed another
sound of horse, galloping fast and
hard.
His own fdgeted, flung up wide nos
trils and Weighed shri1ly. Who was
coming along that runnelled highway
at such an hour in such breakneck
fashion?
The train was nearer now; he could
hear its low rumbling hum, rising
to roar, and the click and spring of
the rails. But though he lifted foot
from the stirrup, he did not dismount.
Something in the whirlwind speed of
coming caught and held him motion
less. He had sudden curious feeling
that all the world beside did not ex-
list; there were only the sweeping
rush OF the nearing train-impe personal,
unhuman-he, sitting his horse in the
gloom. and that unknown rider whose
anguish of speed outstripped the
steam. riding-to whom?

INTERESTING COMPARISON.

A commission appointed by the Ger
man government to compare the de-
scendants of drunkards with those of
moderate drinkers has just made its
report. 1t studied ten families of each
class, as a result of which it states
that 43 per cent of the children of
drunkards die within few months of
their birth, against only s per cent of
the children of moderate drinkers.
Among the children Of drunkards
there are 10 per cent idiots, per
cent epileptics, 8 per cent dwarfs, and
in only per cent of them does the
intelligence develop normally.

HOW TO BE GIFT"

Sir Frederick Treves, surgeon to
the late King Edward, recently said:
There is a great desire on the part
of all young men to be fit. A young
man cannot possibly be fit if he takes
alcohol. By no possibility can he
want it. That any one young or
healthy should want alcohol is simply
preposterous. They might just as
well want strychnine Thus the argu-
ment for the young man is: You
want to be a man, and you want to
be fit. You cannot get fit on alcohol.
No man dreams of going into
training and taking alcohol. He must
reach the acme of physical perfec-
ton, and that must be without alco-
hol."

ALFALFA ON RIGHT OF WAY.

The Industrial Department of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
announces that the road will offer
special inducement to farmers along
the lines to sow alfalfa on the right
of way. This road runs through a
rich agricultural region. Much of
the land will yield three to five cut
tings of alfalfa year. The road
has for some years been leasing the
right of way to men on adjoining
farms. The results from plats here
tofore seeded to alfalfa have been
so s. .isfactory to both the farmers
and the NJ. X. &. T. that the road
has decided to offer exceptionally
favorable terms to farmers who will
seed the land to alfalfa.
1t is suggested that farmers see
the local agent, or section boss, and
arrange to break out the sod and
plant to cotton, cowpeas, potatoes or
peanuts as a preparation for seeding
to alfalfa next fall or spring. If the
land is already in cultivation it could
be seeded to alfalfa this spring. In
such case the seed bed should be
well fined and packed as deep as the
plow ran. Use about fifteen pounds
of the best seed per acre.
For further information see local
agent or write to the Industrial De-
part, NJ. X. &. T. Ry. Co., st. Louis,

PAULLIN IN THE RACE.
Old time Editor of the News, now
Farmer, seeks Democratic Nom
ination for County Judge of
Bryan County.
ADVERTISEMENT

This paper is authorized to an
nounce the candidacy of Lewis Paul
lin for the office of the county Judge
of Bryan County, subject to the
action of the voters at the Democrat
ic Primary August 4th 1914, and
Mr.. Paullin's card will be found un-
der the proper heading of our an
nouncement column, this issue.
For eleven years Mr.. Paullin as
editor and publisher of the Weekly
News, and the Daily News, the latter
named paper having suspended pub
lication in May 1910. During these
eleven years he was always ready
and willing to put up an editorial
scrap for the Democratic party and
for the interest of the masses of
people. of whom he was ever proud
champion. Since quitting the news
paper profession, he practised law
for some time, then removed to his
fine farm near the city, where he
has lived the past four years.
Mr. Paullin is really one of the
pioneers of this section of Oklahoma
having spent some fifteen of sixteen
years in Bryan County, and'is known
to the bigger part of the people of
every section of this great county.
In 1907 he was candidate for county
judge but was defeated by Judge
Phillips, and now after a lapse of
seven years is back again to press
his claim before the voters. His
record as a citizen is clean as a die,
and during that citizenship here he
has been an agent for the good and
the upbuilding of the community,
second to none other.
When the present publisher of the
News came to Durant six years ago,
he as employed by Mr.. Paullin the
then editor of the paper, as a solicit
tor and later as business manager.
During our service under him, we
learned the true character of the
man, and that his simple honesty
and integrity were unquestionable.
We have no hesitancy in commend
ing Mr.. Paulin's candidacy to the
consideration of the voters.
