Fine Character Sketches.

There are many bits of excel lent character drawing in "The Shepherd of the Hills, the dra- matization of Harold Bell Wright's most widely read novel, which comes to the opera house for it's first annual engagement Thursday night, November 5.
 It is a beautiful play filled with tears and laughter, one cannot help laughing or crying by turns if his heart is right. The peo- ole that move within it are so human that the auditor will pick them out for like and dislike as if he had really known them in flesh, rather than on the boards of the stage.

Bows Peanut Clubs.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 30.-- Peanut clubs, composed of boys are being organized by the De partment of Agriculture throughout the country to pro- mote the raising of peanuts. The idea came from Southern Virginia, where clubs were formed this year with such sat isfactory results that the de- partment is making every eff for to extend the organization elsewhere.
 During the next season it is hoped to organize peanut clubs in the Carolinas, Georgia, FlOri- da, Mississippi, Alabama, Lousi- ana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan- sas, Virginia, and Tennessee, these states containing most of the peanut raising country of the United States.
 Substantial prizes have been offered by peanut butter com panies to encourage the organi- cations. The basis of award IS an exhibit of a peck of clean peanuts with a history of the crop as it was raised and a statement of the yield and the profit. Each boy works on an acre of ground and the market value of hay also obtained from the acre is counted in with the rest of the profit.
 The peanut clubs which have been organized in eight coun- ties in Southern Virginia are similar to the departments corn clubs. The age limit for members is from 10 to IS years as it is in the corn clubs. The young members of the Virgin ia clubs commenced work in June. Many of those who pre- pared the seed bed thorough, planted their peanuts at the proper time, and gave them good cultivation, secured a good stand and are assured a good harvest. Even those who do not win prizes will have their valuable crops and their ex-

The feast of Shabuot was celebrat-

was profusely decorated with flowers
of many kinds. Rabbi CrOnbach spoke
on Flowers" In part he said
Self sacrifice is among the things
symbOlized by flowers. The flower is
sweet. the flower is fragrant because
it lives not TO itself alone, but to the
larger life of the world in which it is
placed. Needless to tell you that these
flowers plucked and placed upon the
altar are now perishing. They are
yielding their lives that this occasion
might be graced. We VINO abhor the
ancient custom of Strengthening ami

much regard for the old doctrine Of
life that we consider it fitting and
proper to slaughter flowers upon the
altar. The ancient Strengthening Of
animals was supposed to 1e an atone

flowers we can make our own life

fragrant holacause.

saw in my quick glance was terribly
unbeautiful. You may smile at me

with horror at such distortion of one

searched for their answers.
1t seems so dreadful. so miserably
morbid. that the hundreds Of passers-
by should stop and stand there to
gaze with eager eyes upon the horri-
BILE And yet'the answer came TO me,
solid and complete without denial,
that If one took million average
people, scarce a dozen could resist,
or would think of resisting, this
strange and unlOvely curiosity.
1t must be natural. was the next
thought that crossed my mind.
But this peculiar desire TO witness
and TO gloat over physical unhappi-
ness and destruction is not of nature.
Therefore it is unnatural Taking the
whole matter of this gloating over
the ugly from another side, its gen
eral existence is only possible in
minds lacking in or devoid of imagi-
nation.
Curiosity (the great and essential
basis of all mental activties) will ac
count for the first desire on one or
another's part TO stay watching the
gruesomeness of "A street accident or
ARRAY.
But if that mind is developed and
keen. IL is sensitive and imaginative,
SO that not only the true ugliness is
perceived. bit a conception Is gained

the man or woman injured, and the

fortunate center of a specialization

and drink in further draughts of the
horribly ugly.

And so il seems positive that the
pursuit Of this unhappy curiosity de-
mands an idle mind and a vacant i'm
agination. IL proves low state-a
bovine COmplacency-a mentality so
sluggish and Opaque that clear, keen
vision is denied.
Let me carry the subject a step
