The position that Ahab held afforded
him an opportunity Furthermore, for

in his palace, he looked out on his
neighbours land. then he saw the pic

so long at this picture that he wanted
it above everything else and could

church fathers has thus traced the
process of temptation. "A look. pic

Pastor.

When a Man Sells Himself" was
the theme from which the Rev. C. y.

services Sunday night. The pastor said
in part:

axe at the root of the tree. AT any
rate, King Ahab was not one of his
admirers never heard him preach ex-

up his hands in horror when Elijah
faced him In Naboths vineyard.
His first words there were, Hast

W. g. r. q. NOTES.

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union is having erected on rne
State Fair grounds neat and com
Portable frame building, to be used
as their headquarters and public rest
rooms durings the fair week. At one
time ii was thought that n good tent
would answer the purpose, but 1t was
unanimously decided that a building
would be more comforta BILE and SER
viceable. and SO at considera BILE cost
the White Ribboners will have the
pretty new building. The building
will be larger and more commodious
than the one this organization origi-
nally erected on these grounds, and
which the Fair Association will use
for hospital purposes.
The new White Ribbon building
will be nicely fitted up. The walls will
be decorated with temperance litho-
graphic charts, pictures of noted tenn
perance speakers. etc. There Will be
chairs and lounges for the weary
mother and her little ones who may
desire a haven OF rest after becoming
tired in sightseeing rounds, and in
short, the public will be welcomed to
the headquarters and restrooms. Ice
water will be served and temperance
tracts. papers and souvenirs will be
freely dispensed. A prominent florist
will look after the proper provision
Of potted plants and flowers, and It is
expected that some of Richmond S
well-known commercial houses will
contribute Of their wares to the com.
forts of the building
w. c. r. L. in Charge.
This White Ribbon building will be
in charge of an attentive committee of
lady attendants. and Mrs. Bickers, the
Richmond w. c. T. L. president, ex-
presses the hope that the enterprise
will prove an attractive addition to
the fair. and that the "Rtchm ond
w. c. T. L. Building will be literally
visited

cent State convention. held in Lynch

asm over the success of their cause

poses 10 press the work in the capt.
tai city.
OF course, the w. C. r. Z. is very
much interested in the manifested
purpose of the Richmond public to
remedy social conditions in the city.
Speaking of the dropping OF officer
Krengle from the police force and
the demotion of Sergeant Shoemaker.
the pTeSlutDl EdlQ- mere is never
any doubt of the attitude OF the W. G.
H u. on all questions pertaining to
the moral welfare Of the people and
the advancement OF the citys best
interests. Perhaps the critics of some
very proper resolutions our union
passed recently by now realize that
the expressions were quite sane and
timely, as the general public at the
time realized. We have no DISPOSE
ton to ask Who's l6ony now?
however. and rejoice at the prospect
that the faith our convention ex-
pressed in the wisdom and patriotism
of this beloved city to so adjust our
municipal autonomy as to REMEDY
and prevent untoward conditions. had
good foundation And certainly the
people will not stand for any injustice
to faithful officers for the discharge
OF their duties. To do SO would be
poor incentive for faithful work. and
surely brave and true officers should
and will receive the active moral sup
port of the thinking public. and to
this end we will use our influence"

Two Special High-Grade Attractions
AT the Globe Today, Thurs
day and Friday.
Judith of Bethulia," the master
ly poetic drama of Thomas Bailey
Aldrich will be presented at the
Globe Theater today and tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday. Judith or
Bethulia" was one of the most cour-
ageous women of history and the pre-
sentation of this play is a vivid por-
trayal of the war and sufferlngs or
the people of Bethulia and the visit OF
Judith, the beautiful and devout wild
ow (who was almost holy person
age in the eyes of the inhabitants OF
Bethulia) to the tent of the cruel and
sensuous Holofernes, compelled hith-
er by the anguish of her starving peo-
pie. We see this pure and lovely
woman don the garb of courtesan
IN order to captivate the grim Assy-
rian prince. And then, with great
human touch. we see her begin to
love the enthroned Assyrian. We
hold our breath and fight back the
tears shat terrible scene in the
tent of Holofernes, when Judith is
with him alone-the suspense grips
you. She has piled him with wine
until he sleeps in a drunken stupor.
She lifts the sword to strike. Then
her love and desire sweep over her
she puts down the sword and, in
stead of killing the monster, she ca
resses him. Then, to her eyes,
comes the vision of her people-a
pitiful picture of famine and slaugh-
ter and her struggle with her I'M
holy passion is over, and Holofernes
meets his doom.
"a Gilded Fool"
On Friday Henry G. Cartoons
drama "a Gilded Fool" is the fea-
ture at the Globe.
Chauncey Short, the "gi1ded fool"
is a typical young waster, of good
family and decent instincts, with too
much money for his own good. No
body takes him seriously. His life
runs along in this way till he meets
Margaret Ruthven, the charming
daughter of Matthew Ruthven,
wealthy banker of the old school of
"city men," She aWakens ambition
determines to "brace up" and prove
that when put to it he a good and
brisk a business man. At first he
encounters many difficulties. His
friends look upon his efforts as a huge
lark undertaken at the behest of
a peculiar impulse of humor. Short,
however, with Margaret Ruthven tn
encourage and aid him in his self
set task, perseveres in his resolution.
His old cronies begin to drop off. He
becomes associated with the banker
in some business deals and the old
man begins to thaw just little. Then
come rumors of an upheaval in the
money world. Ruin stares the old
banker in the face and disgrace also
in the latter days of an honorable,
respected business career. The blow
is too much for him to bear up un-
der and he is unable to assemble the
loose ends of his disorganized bust
ness. 1t is then that the Gilded Fool
comes to the rescue.
