Ours. says a veteran theater mana

which less and less is left to the HUI

dispense with charm, beauty and the

reason why vulgarity and gross mate
rialism should capture the wonderful
mechanical devices Of the age; and
there is plenty of evidence that "the

same devices. Automatic players have
brought music-and good music, too

What Came Tn

An Englishman was driving around
County Tipperary one warm day, when
he came across farmer setting pota-
ices. Thinking to have a joke with
him. he began:
well, Pat, what are you planting?"

up2" asked the Englishman.
"Of course" said Pat
why, set onions last year in our
garden. and carrots came up" said the
Englishman.

there. and do you know what came
up?"

and see me. Give my love to Sara"
She took her departure in some
haste, and in her heart she was rejoic-
ing that she had not succeeded in ma
king a fool of herself by confessing to
Sara that she had said unkind things
about her to Brandon Booth.
Hetty resumed her seat In the broad
French window and stared out over
the barren treetope in the park. A
frightened, pathetic droop returned to
her lips. 1t had been there most OF
the day.

The Hollow Of Her Hand.

Wnen Booth Calle0 In the hII6TnOOu
at Sara's apartment. he was met by
the news that she was quite Ill and
could see no one-not even him. The
doctor had been summoned during the
night and had returned In the morn
ing, to find that she had very high
temperature. The butler could not
enlighten. Booth further than this,
except to add that a nurse was COM
ing In to take charge of Mrs. Wran-
dali, more for the purpose OF watching
her symptoms than for anything else,
he believed. At least, 30 the doctor
had said.
Two days passed before the dis
tressed young man could get any def
mite news concerning her condition.
He unconsciously began to think of 1t
as a malady, not a mere illnese, due
of course to a remark Carroll had
dropped when Sara had told him the
whole truth OF the tragedy and of
her own vindictive plans. 1t was
Carroll himself who gave definite re-
port Of Sara. He met the lawyer COM
ing away from the apartment when he
called to inquire.
"She isn't out Of her head, or any
thing like that" said Carroll uneasily,
but she's in bad way, Booth. I'll
tell you what l think is troubling her
more than anything else. Down in her
heart she realizes that Hetty Castle
ton has got to be brought face to face
with the Wrandalls."

Culpeper Man Asks Mr.. Owen Some Questions
The virginian prints this morning two more
interesting letters to Secretary owen, OF the
Local Self-Government association. in reply to
his circular letter asking tho writers 10
press. their views They follow:
Culpeper, Va. June &c, 1914.
Mr. Ben p. Owen.
Richmond. Va,
Dear sir,-Your circular enclosing the speech
Of Mr.. Caben recently made IN the Academy
of Music in Richmond came this morning, and
in answer to your request for suggestions
submit the following questions feeling sure that
you will be glad to answer them and equally
sure that your answers viii clear up certain
matters about which there Is some doubt:
/. Who Is furnishing the money TO support
the Local Self Government League Of vir-
ginia? Have the men whose names appear
your letter as vice-presidents contributed
10 this cause? Are they financing the whole
campaign. are they getting help and if so
from what sources are they obtaining this
sistance?
2. Have the above referred to men always
stood for the principle OF local self government
in Virginia? If so why did they remain silent
when a Statewide law against the carrying OF
concealed weapons was passed? Why did they
not protest against the passage of a Statewide
law against the sale of alcoholic drinks to
women and to children? Why do they not
protest now against all efforts of the State to
destroy by Statewide enactnnents, lawlessness
and more especially the causes and conditions
which produce lawiessness@ Is the principle Of
local self government of the Constituent
parts OF an alcoholic beverage"
3. When is Mr., 'abell going to finish his very
earnest presentation Of the cause of John Bar
leycorn? In his speech in the Academy of
Music he failed 10 tell how many ''blind tigers
had been put out OF business after Qualifying
under the federal law to carry the ws.stey
business, and viii You tell why? Why, in
stead Of giving his and other peoples opinions
did he not give the records OF police courts
ind criminal courts generally to the results
of prohibition in cities and States where it Is
in effect?
4. Is the principle OF local self government
according 10 your Interpretation OF that terml
being violated. In spirit. today, and il so, by
whom2 Why has not your league protested
against this violation Of the right of COM
munity TO settle this matter for itself? Is It
not q fact that your league II financed In large

not say first that prohibition would not prohibit
and then Did he not follow this with the state
ment that prohibition would not prohibit, and
then did he not follow this with the state
ment that prohibition would destroy the bust
ness Of those engaged in the liquor business
or all the statements made by DR.. Mcclure that
night, which shall / accept being authorita-
tive? Why do you not publish the speech of
your imported orator, Mr.. Goodwin, the Ala
Rama agent Of the Pabst Brewing company
Was the atmosphere of your Richmond meeting
permeated with spirit of reverence for law
and for human rights and human duties?
6. Does your league fully realize that from
the licensed saloon the robber goes to commit
robbery, the murderer to commit murder and
the father or son or brother deprived of his
weeks earnings thereby robbng those depen-
dent upon him? The State violated prn-
eiple when it prohibited the sale of alcoholic
drinks to women and TO children. and 1t will vio-
late no principle when it enacts this additional
prohibitory law this coming September.
If you will kindly answer these few questions
III send y9u some more at early date,
Yours truly,
