HONEYMOON SURELY At END
Brute's Retort Proved That the Ar
rows Of Cupid Must Have Lost
Their Sharpness.

Sad it is when the brief story Of the
honeymoon departs. leaving only the
prospect of the endless monotony Of
ordinary life ahead.
. But that was where the Smiths
stood. Their honeymoon had soon
waned under the stress Of modern
life. In fact, Mrs. Smith was already
adopting the policy of mastery mac
tivity; even hubby's most loving en-
dearment couldn't get kind word out
of her.
The tiff happened on Wednesday.
and lasted till Sunday morning, when
he. attired for his usual stroll. asked
her:
What is for dinner today, my dear7"
His suave voice and winning smile
earned for him brief retort, The
lady replied with more force than
grace:
"Oh, rats!"
But he was not caught unawareS
With sweet smile he countered with
the remark:
We'll, don't cook one for me. dar-

Fort Mill, Feb. 9.-Town council
at recent meeting having gone on
record as being unanimously favor
able to the strict enforcementSof law,
especially the ordinance pertaining
to Sabbath observance. Mayor F. E.
Audrey issued instructions to the po-
lice with the result that those bust
ness houses such as drug stores,
cafes, fruit and cold drink stands,
and gasoline stations were closed all
day yesterday. It is believed that a
very large majority of the people
heartily commend the action of the
mayor and that the owners of busi-
ness heretofore kept open, with few
exceptions, are favorable to the
movement. Several citizens who mo-
tored to a near by town to buy cold
drink were surprised to find that the
same conditions confronted them
there as prevailed here.-The State.

senting the Apotheosis of Washing
ton.
Bringing the visage down to the
floor again we see statues of Wash
Iington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Lin
coin, Grant and Baker.
There are several visitors now
gathered in the Rotunda and the
guide takes us first into the Statuary
Hall, which room is contiguous to the
Rotunda.
On either side there runs colon
made of marble with white capitals.
And in circular array, encircling the
whole Hall, stand bronze and marble
statues of our statesmen.
Statuary Hall was once the Hall of
Representatives but in 1864 it was
set apart for its present use and each
state was allowed to send two statues
to represent two of her distinguished
sons.
Not all of the States have respond
| ed, nevertheless, the Hall is already
overtaxed to make an appropriate
setting. South Carolina sent John c.
Calhoun-Congressman, Secretary
of War, Vice-President, Senator and
Secretary of State.
We 90 out of this massive hall and
enter one more massive-The Hall of
Representatives. The eye falls first
upon the Speakers desk. Of white
marble it is made and faces the semi
circular rows of the members seats.
On the right side of the Speaker is
the sergeant-at-arms and on his left
the assistant doorkeeper. Directly in
front are the desks of the clerks and
and reporters. Then comes the semi
circular rows of members seats. The
walls and stairways leading to the
visitors gallery are adorned with
busts and portraits of our great men.
At the foot of the east stairway to
the gallery is "a statue Of Thomas
Jefferson.
You are in the gallery looking
down upon the Speaker and the men,
bers of the House. While a debate is
in progress certain member has the
floor. No sooner does he take his seat
than another member jumps to his
feet and if the Speaker recognizes
him, he begins to argue his view.
Perhaps to your surprise you shall
see that much good natured sarcasm
is INDUCED in.
From the Hall of Representatives
to the House Portico we pass through
another pair of bronze doors, model
ed with subjects to represent events
in the making of the good old states.
I want to leave room in this issue
for Rubenstein's ad, so we had best

They finally got the safe open by

fORT-Au-PRlNCE, Hayti, Nov. IL
What is regarded as the first official
protest against the methods Of the
united States marines in suppressing
disorders in Hayti was made to-day in
testimony given before the naval board
OF inquiry by President Dartiouenave
O the Haytian Republic.
He testified he had been unable Off
cially TO bring knowledge Of the indis
crlmnate killings to the attention of
the American government because of
the lack of cooperation with him on the
part of the American regime in Havti
and the unwillingness of his own peo-
pie to make reports to him because of
their terror of retaliatory action by the
American courts-martial.
The black executive was accorded
high honors in the yard of the barracks
where the naval board is holding its
inquiry, President Dartiquenave on
entering the court building on his wav

Says He Was Ignored
The interpreter reread written an
s"ers made by the President to oucs-
tons submitted before he appearcd at
the session. He said the Haytians
had expected liberty, prosperity and
respect for persons and property from
ne Americans. but now at is public
ciamor that accuses them"
IN his testimony he intimated that
he himself and the native government
had been ignored by the heads Of the
army of occupation. He testified that
friends and relatives of the victim
OF rcgrettahle acts" in some cases did
not know thu the Republic Of Havti
still had q ci4 eff of state.
lie charged banditry TO the coryec
or enforced labor system, which ne
said was still practiced despite the ad
wee or his government, hence the ne
cesslty of American repression, "witl,
oeeds lhat were always possible under
policy Of repression.'
Marine Officers SurDrised
Because he was not in touch with
The members of the American Adminis-
ration, he said he did not know
whether the perpetrators of unlawful
acts had been punished by the marine
officials. lie said there were six local
ties in whic!, he had heard that "re-
Grettable acts" were committed. These
we're Hinche, st, Marc, Croix des Bou
Quets, Grande Riviere du Nord, Mire-
balis and Las Cahobas. He added that
there might have been other places.
The marine officers were surprised
at the testimony given by President
DartiQuenave and the show Of hostility
toward the American marines which
he made. Previous to the arrival of
The naval board, he had extravagantly
praised the marines and told of the
feneflts accrulng to Hayti from the
occupation There were some uav-
.ians who irtimatcd that he was play
