The Tobacco Sales
VIII Open Thursday

Tobacco sales at all warehouses II
the city viii open on Thursday morn
ing. Warehousemen tell US that there
is enough tobacco already in the city
to fill the floors for several days to
come. The cool weather for the past
week has prevented the planter from
getting his crop in shape for market,
but with warm rain, you may ex.
pect to see the usual number of wag-
ons blocking the streets of the city
Tobacco men--those in position to
know--are outspoken in their belief
that tobacco would bring even better
prices if the farmer would only hold
his crop back until the buyers could
get their recent purchases cleaned ur
and out Of the way. We will publish

HENPECKED HENRY"


Geo. Donahue, who presents "Hen-
pecked Henry" which comes to the
Auditorium Wednesday, December
31st, is a firm believer in placing pref
ty girls in the most conspicuous places
at the proper time to produce coun-.
ter irritant in the minds of those who
think they are about to be disap
pointed. He believes that a song
hit which can carry itself on its mer-
its, is quadrupled BY the swaying Of
group of unmpeachable broilers
and the foregs of an array OF
well gowned girls, and lis experience
has taught him to pick winners in ar.
ranging their production. The young
women who constitute this section Of
"Henpecked Henry" possess all those
qualifications so necessary to please
the eye and charm the ear. There
are many musical numbers which ara
given additional color by the beauty
of such lovely girls in lovely action
"Henpecked Henry" is stellar at.
traction and conceded to be one of
the best of its kind travelling. Music
and song combined in a delightful
way. and funny scenes, situations
and comedians viii keep you laughing
continually. 1t is seldom, if ever
that a company visits MS that is SC
highly endorsed by the press and pub
lie as is "Henpecked Henry"

Many physicians believe that any
one who has bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associates
from contracting the disease, as colds
are about as catchy as measles. One
thing sure--the sooner one rids him
self of cold the less the danger, and
you will look good while before you
find a better medicine than Chamber

Madge, dear, please take that easy
chair near Mr.. Drake and compose
yourself. You're wasting valuable
emotion and nerve force on some
thing distinctly not worth while"
never have heard tone so abso-
lutely haying in its effect as the cool,
emotionless drawl in which Lillian
couched her ultimatum. The angry
woman before her was shrewd
enough to see that no weapon in her
emotional arsenal was penetrating
enough to pierce Lillian's armor
She turned her eyes on Lillian with
calculating stare, evidently debat-
ing what was best to do, waited a
long moment before she spoke.
Playing "the Ace"
you're making a good bluff on
deuces," she said at last. Suppose
I call you. Let's see your hand. You
can bet the last cent in your coin
purse that l don't give in till I'm
beaten, and then the cards have to
be stacked against me-"
They don't have to be stacked"
Lillian retorted coolly. Eve hold too
high cards."
"All right, play EN-"
Lillian stepped to the table, picked
up a little pile of cancelled checks
and other papers, ruffled them, and
handed two or three to the woman.
Payments of Mr.. Graham to you
recently" she said quietly. Exhibit
| A."
Not good enough" the woman re-
torted. 81 tell you those are pres
ents on account of his affection for
me. You can't prove them other
| wise, because even if I'm lying you
don't want to let him know his pre-
cious daughter has seen me-"
you're lying all right" Lillian
returned evenly. "And that's only a
ten-spot anyway. But before going
on to the next one, let me tell you
something you evidently don't know.
Mr.. Spencer has for years been
known as Robert Gordon. He has
been so high up in the service Of
his country that the biggest men
obeyed him like schoolmaster. He
has the power to throw you into
Jail a mile deep if he wanted to and
keep you there 100 years. But he
idolizes this daughter of his as he did
her mother before her make no
mistake about that We've worked
together. l know his story, know
that he has lived in agonized re-
morse for 20 years because of the
wife he lost, to whom he never
dared return because of the wrong
he had done her, but whom he
adored- hopelessly, devotedly.
"And because he didn't wish his
daughter to know even that you
lived, he has submitted to your
blackmail-we'll just call it by its
right name. He is getting old, isn't
his former vigorous self or he would
never have fallen for your extor-
ton. And now I'm going to waste
minute more time on you. Wen
play the ace right now"
She nodded to Allen Drake. He
walked to the door and called softly
to the man in the hall.

The Way Lillian Played Her Cards.

The Way Lillian Played Her Cards.
"Loathesp I interrupted her, my
voice cold, deliberate, although I
felt as if my brain were seething.
"Loathes as he would a cobra. You
are evidently cherishing the delusion
that l know nothing of your history
or Of your treachery Of years ago.
Acting upon that delusion you have
been extorting sums of money from
my father, simply because he loves
me SO devotedly that he does no,
wish me ever to see you, to know
that you exist"
If I had planned deliberately to
Infatuated the woman who had slur-
red my dead mother my success
could not have been greater than
the result which followed my pas
sionate declaration of my fathers
real sentiments toward herself and
me.
Evidently the 20 years which had
elapsed since the ending of the
sordid chapter of her association
with my father had not dimmed
the tigerish jealousy Of him and
hatred of my mother which had
actuated her in that Ions, time. That
both jealousy and hatred were root
ed in her own vanity and mercenary
northumberland by no CLEAN
of the real divine spark of love
which sometimes illumines an 9TH
erwise sordid intrigue-did not
serve to cool the rage which ap-
peared to be consuming her at my
words.
Lillian 1ntervenes.
She made 4 quick movement to-
ward me, her fingers working per-
ceptibly.
"You lying devilw she screamed
"1'll tear your eyes out if you hand
me anything more like that. What
do you know"
Lillian had moved IS swiftly as
she, stepping in front Of me as the
Infatuated woman launched her IT,
rade of invective. In the background,
Allen Drake had made a swift step
forward, but at Lillian's movement
remained where he was, the picture
of indolent inattention, although |
knew that he could and would reach
the woman and shackle her in an in
slant if the occasion required such
strenuous action.
We'll just wind up this reel right
now" Lillian said decidedly. you're
clever at melodrama, Mrs.-er-Rob-
bins, but, unfortunately, our taste
runs to innocuous, comfortable COM
edy dramas. So please don't bite
any more chunks out of the land
scape. Instead, we'll get right down

was soothed by two Of her daugh-
tiers. Another daughter sat near
Bessie while she was on the wit

eral times when she broke down
and cried.
The state offered evidence from
Miss Kroupa and from George
Kyrel, a laborer, who found her,
bound hand and foot, after the
negro had left. Both of these iden7
tilted the prisoner positively as the
man who committed the assault.
The defense did not offer any wit
