ed him for healing the man on the
Sabbath and for commanding him
to take up his bed and walk. The
law said that man must not carry
a burden on the Sabbath and they
wanted to accuse Christ for en-
couraging the man to break the
law. The act of healing was as
sacred as could be and the man had
suffered long enought. The Sabbath
was made for man and not man for
the Sabbath. The thoughtful and
enthusiastic will not allow an
historical Interpretation of the use
of any institution to stand between
them and an act Of mercy and kind

FLIGHT OF GEESE UNUSUAUL

Abbeville, La, Feb. 2O.-One Of
the most remarkable flights of wild
fowl within the memory of the old
est inhabitant was noted here last
night. About shutdown a few ad-
vance scouts of wild geese appeared
flying high and emitting an
occasional 'thonk, honk." The
grand passage began about 8 o.
clock and from that time until
broad daylight they came by the
thousands, filling the air with their
cries. Hundreds Of them, attracted
possibly by the glare of the electric
street lights, paused in their flight
to light in the tree tops and in the
ponds and slashes about there.
They flew very low and not in
the usual V-shaped formation, the
air was simply filled with a confus-
ed mass Of noisy geese; those which
first appeared were flying south,
later they seemingly pursued no
direct course, but came from all
quarters, finally they headed north
and from midnight until daylight
there were millions of them migrat-
ing. If these fowls came from their
usual feeding grounds on the Gulf
coast near here it is thought singu-
lar they should have so soon made a
stop. It is reported that the few
which were killed were found with
empty craws indicating long
flight.

NIL ION DOLLAR DOLL
PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE

An audience which completely
filled the Opera House Tuesday
evening, saw and heard the Musical
Comedy "The Million Dollar Doll'
and expressions Of satisfaction with
it were unanimous on all sides.
They warmed up in a marked de.
gree to many Of the musical and
dancing numbers and there was an
appreciation of the comedy. work
that must have been gratifying to
the players.
The chorus was particularly well
drilled and good to look upon. All
the leading roles were in the hands
of efficient actors and actresses. Mr..
Jack Busby as Jasper Jackson"
was one Of the best colored come
dams seen here in many years. He
early established cordial relations
with the audience and his work was
given hearty applause. In Miss Mar
igold Gano as dolly Winters" the
company possesses the ideal emil
lion Dollar Girl" and she had no
difficulty in charming those who
saw her in the title role of the
piece. Flattering reception was also
accorded to the male quartet, who
sang five numbers before they
could be allowed to stop.
The scenic production was COM
plete and attractive in every way,
while the various costumes worn by
the chorus were of the latest styles
and very prettily designed. Alto
gether those who have an opportun-
ity to be present when "The Million
Dollar Doll' is presented may be as
sured in advance that they will find
it highly enjoyable. -Franklin (Pa)
