Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackctrs
farce, 1T Pays To Advertise" which
is to be presented here at the Grand
Wednesday, January 26, is one OF the
best plays seen on the American stage

1T Pays To Advertise presents the
very essence of American spirit,
American humor and American char
acter. If you saw the piece trans
lated into French, German on any
ether language, there would be no
mistaking its origin, and certainly no
more side-splitting farce has been
Concocted here.
As matter of fact 1T Pays To

TO RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Massachusetts, Legislature Considers
Measures Encouraging "Back.to-
the-Land" Movement.

Two unusual measures have been
under consideration by the legislature
Of Massachusetts,. One provides for
In appropriation for homesteads or
small houses with plots of ground for
mechanics, laborers and other persons
in the suburbs Of cities and towns. The
other bill authorizes any city to ac-
quire land for the purpose of teaching
agriculture to its inhabitants, includ-
ing schoolchildren, adults and family
groups.
The bills are really complementary.
Their purpose is to encourage the
"back-to-the-land" movement and to re-
lieve congested districts. They are
sponsored by the Massachusetts home
stead commission, which believes that
there is a strong disposition among
persons in congested city districts to
escape from these to ~pleasanter and
more healthful surroundings. The
commission, in fact, made a canvass OF
500 typical tenement families. 1t dis
covered that no fewer than 1863 fami-
lies, with 500 children, were anxious
to move to suburban surroundings
where they could have a garden and
till the soil. The CHIEF difficulties In
their way, Of course, are lack OF CAPT
tai and lack of knowledge of garden
ing or farming. These lacks the two
bills in the legislature would seek ID
supply.

Hlppocras-tbe LIQUOR,

That Pepys should have drunk hip
pocras at the Guildhall in 1863 with
out knowing that it was an intoxlcant
is somewhat remarkable. For this
aromatic cordial, which originally was
supposed to be mingled according to
the recipe of Hippocrates, was import
ed here in Saxon times, and remained
a popular liquor for centuries. 1t bore
a close affinity to piment, which in
the year SIT was forbidden to the
clergy, except on special occasions,
by the council Of Aix-la-C hapelle. In
Elizabeth's time %hippocras was usual
ly served at the beginning of a ban
quet, being "of so comforting a nature
that the stomach would be at once
put into good temper" Apparently 1t

room.
Many a name reached my ears ia
nous in those days, but forgotten long
since; and onee or twice, as we slowly
made our way through the throng,
Cassion pointed out to me some char
acter of importance in the province,
or paused to present me with formal
ity to certain officials whom he knew.
1t was thus we approached the dais.
and awaited cur turn to extend fellci-
tations to the governor. Just before
us was Du L'Hut, whose name Cas-
sion whispered in my ear, a tall, slen-
der man, attired as a courier du bois,
with long fair hair sweeping his shout
ders. l had heard of him as a daring
explorer, but there was no premonition
that he would ever again come into
my life, and l was more deeply inter-
ested in the appearance of La Barre.
He was a dark man, stern of face,
and with strange, furtve eyes, con-
cealed behind long lashes and over
hanging brows. Yet he was most gra-
cious to Du L'Hut, and when he turned
and perceived Monsieur Cassion next
in line, smiled and extended his hand
cordially.
"Ah, Francois, and so you are here
at last, and we welcome. And this"
he bowed low before me in excess OF
gallantry, mo doubt will be the Made
moiselle la Chesnayne of whose charms
1 have heard so much of late. By my
faith, Cassion, even your ~eloquence
hath done small justice to the lady.

"Ah, yes; l knew him well; he fell

CHAPTER Nv.
In the Palace of the Intendant.

In the Palace of the lntendant.
The huge palace of the intendant,
between the bluff and the river, was
ablaze with lights, and already crowd
ed with guests at our arrival. ] had
seen nothing of Chevet since the
morning, nor did he appear now; but
Monsieur Cassion was prompt enough,
and congratulated me on my appear
ance with bows, and words of praise
| which made me flush with embarrass-
ment.
An officer met us, pointing out the
way, and, after he had assisted us to
descend from the chair, we advanced
slowly over a carpet Of clean straw
toward the gayly lighted entrance.
Soldiers lined the walls on either side,
and overhead blazed a beacon sus-
pended on a chain. 1t was a scene
rather grotesque and weird in the red
glow, and l took Cassion's arm gladly,
feeling just a little frightened by the
strange surroundings.
where is my Uncle Chevet?" l
asked, more as a relief, than because
1 cared, although l was glad of his
absence because Of D'Artigny.
"In faith, l know not" he answered
lightly. 81 won him a card, but he
was scarce gracious about it. In some
wine shop likely with others of his
kind"
There were servants at the door and
an officer, who scanned the cards of
those in advance of us, yet passed Cas-
sion, with a glance at his face, and
word of recognition. l observed him
turn and stare after me, for our eyes
met, but, almost before l knew what
had occurred, l found myself in a side
room, with a maid helping to remove
my wraps, and arrange my hair.

waif. More, he was honest about it.
To his mind he did well by me in thus
finding me a husband. l sank on my
knees, and hid my face, shuddering at
the thought of the sacrifice demanded.
CaSsiOn! never before had the man ap-
peared so d~espicable. Yet what could
l do? 1t was useless to appeal to
Chevet, and the governor, La Barre,
would give small heed to a girl OBJ
jecting to one of his henchmen.
D'Artigny! The name was on my lips
before | realized l had spoken 1t, and
brought a throb Of hope. l arose to
my feet, and stared out Of the window
into the dark night. My pulses
throbbed. If he cared; if l only knew
he cared, l would fly with him any
where, into the wilderness depths, to
escape Cassion.
But how could l reach him with my
tale? There was but one opportunity
the governors ball. He would be
there; he had said so, laughingly glanc-
ing toward me as he spoke the words,
the flash of his eyes a challenge. But
it would be difficult. Chevet, Cassion,
not for a moment would they take
eyes from me, and If l failed to treat
him coldly an open quarrel must re-
suit. Chevet would be glad of an
excuse, and Cassion's jealousy would
spur him on. Yet l must try, and, in
truth, l trusted not Sc much in Mon
sieur d'Artigny's interest in me, as
in his reckless love of adventure
'Twould please him to play m auda'
cious trick on La Sales enemies, and
make Cassion the butt of laughter.

Bird Takes Kindly to Tin Barricade

Mrs. John Pozer of Main street,
Newton, N. J., feared that a fine shade
tree on her lawn would be killed by q
woodpecker that appeared there every
day and pecked away at a hole which
he was making larger and larger.
Therefore she had her husband tack
a sheet Of tin over the hole when the
bird was absent.
Refusing to be discouraged and pre-
tending he does not know the differ
ence, the woodpecker now goes to
the tree every day and pecks away
like a trip hammer on the tin sheet.
The neighbors are nearly crazy with
the noise, and there is a law against
killing woodpeckers.
