Holiday Week
At The Hippodrome

Every day last week was holiday
at the Hippodrome where Charles Dill
lingham's joyous spectacle, "Cheer
Up!" radiates the festive spirit and
three hours of indoor sunshine twice
daily. Thanksgiving week is always
one which is looked forward to with
eager anticipation by the Hippo
drome's big public, and Mr.. Dillingham;
never fails to provide a number of
special holiday features which give
assurance of added enjoyment. For
the children the greatest charm was
found in THE new circus features and
in the Jungle scene, while the grown
ups and the soldiers here on leave en-
joyed new comedy scenes in which
Nat M. Wills, Fred Walton, MALTA
and Bart, the Bud Snyder Trio with
the inimitable Bluch Landolf, and all
the other Hippodrome funmakers were
concerned, and new spectacular
Burnside Hubbell- Golden song produc-
ton devised expressly for the holiday
period.

whats yer name" the first guard
growled at the man.
"John Stunz," he muttered.
"Where do come from?" inquired
the questioner, again.
"Me live under hill" he replied.
"Well, where was yer goin'?" de-
manded the guard.
II just go over there" the man
said pointing toward the end Of the
pier where tug was moored.
"Over there huh? Well yer amt got
no business over there. What does
yer want over there, anyhow"
To this question the man did not
answer; he gazed stupidity at them,
as if could not understand.
81 got enough of this" the second
guard burst out. He had been lis
tening patiently to the cross examin-
alton and was tired of the mans
prosiac and indefinite answers. ri
am going to get that bundle if | got
to break his head"
The man, no doubt, understood what
he was saying this time, because he
tried to break away. The guards
sliced him and after hard struggle
pulled him to the ground, the man
hanging to the bundle as if his life de-
pended upon it.
1t was not long, however, before
the second guard was sitting on their
victims chest, with the other guard
pulling at the parcel.
Hang it, if he hasn't a bundle of
fat sticks of dynamitew exclaimed the
first guard, yanking the bundle out
of the mans hands.
Look out you don't explode it,"
cautioned the other, from his shaky
| seat on the mans chest.
The guard started to unwrap
the newspaper that was around the
mysterious tubes. Finally an end of
a bottle protruded and he yelled,
''This amt dynamite, it's bottles of
nitro-glycerine!"
The other jumped up, yanking the
man to his feet, and gazed at the bot
ties. Suddenly he cried, "You big ape,
that's not nitro-glycerine, that's just
plain beer!" tearing off the rest of
the wrapping per exposing three
bottles of apparently good beer.
"Well, I'll be hanged" exclaimed
the other astonished guard. Where
in blazes were you taking that beer ?"
he demanded, scowling at the man,
bringing him up near light so he
could get better look at him.
81 am fireman on thees tug out
there" explained the frightened Po-
lack. "The engineer he say, go get'em
three bottles of booze, and don'tcha

fire both us. / don't want to get fire,

beer carrier. please, don't Mr.. Cap
tain"
"You want to work, Ell ?" mimicked
the first guard, "You big grinning
Polack you, I feel like pulling you
apart" he said disgustingly, unlock
ing the handouts and freeing the man.
"Let's see how fast you can make it
down to the tug" said the second
guard, giving the man push. But
he did not need much encouragement;
he made the hundred yards in about
fifty steps.
"Well, you got to give that Polack
credit" said the first guard. "This
is the best beer l tasted in a long
while"
"Me too" gurgled the other one.

The case Of Paul Bender and others,

Star Social club In the West End, was
continued Monday in the hustinga
court until the next term. Eight men,
now out on bail, will have to answer
indictments charging violation Of the
prohibition law in connection with the
operation of the so-called social
club" Continuance was made because
of the, absence of the commonwealth

the farmers of Virginia are among the

that these interests always received
the last and least consideration from

No class of people in Virginia have
been more largely or faithfully repre-
scented In the general assem- bly, than
our farmers. Their interests deserve,
and have always received. the earnest

sideratio nof our lawmakers. who in
very large part the the farmers rep

We regret to see an issue of this
character injected into a Democratic
campaign in this state. Our farmers
deserve and their interests are so link
