from her elderly admirer-there were
younger men forging their way in the
profession-a new generation knock
ing at the door.
Hyman Shapiro sighed little as
he put down his lip stick. This was
the last night of the revival of LAR
which the critics had often called his
greatest role. He had put on the
masterpiece against the advice Of his
business manager, ever fearful of
what he called "high-brow stuff"
Give the crowd something lively and
up-to-date," counseled the business
manager, "but 90 light on the poetry
business. Or, take it from me, they'll
go to the movies"
But Hyman had persisted. "When
played Lear in 1885," he began
The business manager laughed
good-naturedly. "Stop talking about
the times when mother was a girl"
he advised. you've not going to do
a big business with the stuff that
went out Of style with the Civil
War"
Hyman realized that the business
manager had been wise in his genera
ton. The box office receipts had fall
en- off considerably during the last
week; it was a good thing that tonight
was Saturday, ending the revival.
Next week they would put on a mod
ern Yiddish comedy by an unknown
and untried Yiddish author, it was
true, but at least modern and light
enough to capture an audience. Yet
Hyman's heart was heavy with a
sense Of unusual failure.
He wondered what he would do the
rest Of the season. His old-time
triumphs failed to kindle enthusiasm
in modern audiences. They demand
ed farces and musical comedies with
the smart flippancy Of Broadway, or
ultra modern realistic bits done in the
somber manner Of the Russians. And
Hyman had little knowledge and less
sympathy with modern comedy or
new act.
Turning, he saw in the doorway his
son, Marcus, who had entered without
taking the trouble to knock. This
son who had come to Haydn long af-
ter he had despaired Of ever knowing
the joy Of holding a Kaddish in his
arms was a slight, not unhandsome
fellow looking considerably younger

rule.
A wet summer is said to foretell a
mild winter; but here again there is
no certainty. So many factors enter
into the case that no general rule
can be laid down with accuracy.
AS a matter of fact, it is undoubt-
edly true that the climate all over
the world is undergoing definite
changes-due, it is thought, partly
to the deviation of the gulf stream,
due also to the sun-spots, to certain
magnetic phenomena and to other
causes.
Thus Egypt, which usually had
definite dry season, and rainy sea-
son, now has rain when 1t was un-
known before; winters in this coun-
try are becoming milder, on the
whole, and the summers somewhat
cooler. The reasons for many of these
changes are Yet to be found.
In general, it may be said that
weather predictions for coming sea-
sons fail because 1t is, at present, i'm
possible to foretell them with scien-
tifie accuracy; and even were this
possible, cosmical forces might in
trude themselves, offsetting the ne
curacy Of the longtime predictions.

A NEGRO BOY CUTS
ANOTHER IN BEAT
Also Cuts Himself at Same Time
In Wounded Negro's
Condition Dangerous.

Deputy Sheriff H. L. Hoskins
brought in and landed in Jail Thurs
day afternoon, Cleo Smith, a 15-year
old negro boy who is charged with
cutting up" Clifton Black, another
boy of the same color and about the
same age in Beat s, near Sloan
school in the western part of the
county.
From information in hand it
seems that the negroes had falling
out over some dusky damsel and
Smith laid for Black when he was
returning home from school. He used
pocket knife with such vigor that
Blacks throat was cut severely, the
jugular vein being almost fevered.
In doing this he also cut his own
hand badly, it being stated hat the
injury Smith received at His own
hands was done while he had one
arm around Blacks neck while he
was doing the carving act in the
same vicinity.
Smith will be held in Jail to await
the outcome of Blacks wounds which
are considered very dangerous.

ciety. The work of the Society is
properly protected, and it has ade-
quate facilities for seeing that the
children are put into good homes,
and for keeping in touch with them
after adoption. / recommend that
hereafter all adoptions be handled
through this Society.
Six girls were released, either by
virtue of expiration of time, or for
good and valid reason.
The expenses of the home have
been very high, on account of the
increase in the number of girls ad-
mitted, and on account of the ex-
cessive cost of living.
The Board has felt that there is a
need for some sort of educational
training for the girls. Mrs. Frank
of Natchez, has volunteered to go to
the home for two days each week
and teaches the rudiments to those
who have had no education whatev-
er. The good effects of her teach
ing are already evident! Mrs. Lea
by, the Adams county nurse, goes to
the home two days each week and
teaches the girls the elements of hy-
giene, and how to care for their bod
les. This work should be extended
so that every girl will have the op-
portunity of learning something
whereby she may support herself and
her child. The religious education
of the girls has not been neglected.
Mrs. w JFeitus has made it her
special care to teach Sunday School
each week, with good results. This
is to be extended, our present plan
is to have regular divine service sew
eral times monthly.
There have been a number of lib
eral donations to the home, which
have worked to reduce the cost of
living to large measure. With
the constant increase in the number
of girls who are admitted to the
home, it is self-evident that the most
pressing need of the home is more
money and support.

SHERIFF HAS MUCH
GENUINE WEIISKEY
Is Most Contiscated in Years
Real Owner Believed to
Have Flown.

The most "real, red, genuine
whiskey" that has been captured IN
the last three or four years time in
Brookhaven was confscated Thurs
day night by Deputy Sheriff H. Z,
Hoskins when he raided two rooms
with search warrant at the Ine2
Hotel
II AS the result of the raid rs quarts
of whiskey, mostly Canadian Club,
are reposing in Sheriff r. G. Apple
whites vault while ]. L. Griffing is
held in Jail awaiting aid from rela-
4 tives or friends for cash fine ex-
pected to be imposed on charge of
possessing intoxicating liquor"
S. M. Anderson, one OF the men
whose rooms were raided managed to
elude Deputy Hoskins, who was as
sisted by Deputy Melton Wood, and
made his getaway from town but an
affidavit has also been made out a.
gainst him charging illegal possess
sion of liquor.
4 According to general opinion ex-
pressed, Deputy Sheriff Hoskins got
some kind Of tip that Anderson
and Griffing had lot of liquor in
their possession at the Inez Hotel,
although the deputy sheriff will not
say exactly how he did manage to
make his catch. In all events short
ly after dary Thursday he obtained
search warrant from Mayor Butler
for rooms "a and 26 at the hotel and
in his efforts to serve them found
the rs quarts distributed in each
room, capturing ]. L. Griffng at the
time, but through some kind of a
tip received Anderson was conveyed
out of town and made his escape.
The liquor was carried in four
grips and after they were carried to
the sheriff's office, following an in
vestigation of their entire contents,
one of the grips disclosed a number
OF letters addressed to S. NJ. Ander-
son at Greenwood, Miss, several of
these letters having never been op-
ened, while $4,000 check was re-
posing in one that had been opened.
j. L. Griffing, the man in Jail,
who is only about 25 years of age,
claims to the officers that he was on
ly trying to dispose of the whiskey
fer Anderson and that for this SER
vice Anderson was to reward him
with ticket to Memphis where he
claims his kinspeople live. He said
to them that he came here with An
derson from New Orleans.
No time has been set so far for his
hearing pending his efforts to raise
money from several people he has
communicated with.
Judging from the effects found in
the whiskey grips, which were good
leather and expensive travelling cases
1t is not believed that the real owner
whether he is Anderson or some 9th
er man, will make any attempt to
claim them.
Anderson, whose name is on the
correspondencesfound In the grips. Is
fairly well known here,

CERTAIN OBSERVATIONS.

There are certain general observa-
tions which may be drawn at times
however, by which the general char
acter of the forthcoming season may
be to some extent foretold; but these
predictions are admittedly very gen.
eral and uncertain. They are liable
to be changed by changing terrestrial
and cosmical phenomena.
Thus, it has often been claimed
that a dry, hot summer will usually
give place to a cold, hard winter;
but this is far from an invariable

WINTER WEATHER HAS
FOOLED PROPHETS
So Far it Has Been Mild in Form
Contrary to General
Forecasts.

Weather prophets some months
ago were predicting a long. hard
winter for this country, which so far
certainly failed to materialize.
If all those who undertake to pre-
dict the future" were put in Jail,
fer their wrong predictions, it seems
as though jails ought to be filled
with weather prophets. judging from
the many past experiences!
Usually, weather is predicted"
only few hours ahead, or day or
so at most, and this is all that the
average scientific meteorologist ever
hopes to predict. He endeavors to
foretell the next days weather by
observations of the barometer, ther-
mometer, thermometer Can instru-
ment which registers the pressure of
the wind), the polymeter, which is
a device for registering humidity,
dew-point, etc., and by means of 9TH
er scientific instruments.
HEARS WEATHER REPORTS.
In addition to this he is in touch
with many other parts of the world
by telegraph, and hears the sort of
weather which they are having in
any given locality, and foretells the
weather for his own vicinity by cal
culating the time it would take to
travel the necessary distance-the
wind being of certain ascertained
velocity.
But these indications are, as before
said, for only a few hours ahead, and
no scientific weather prophet at
tempts to foretell, as a rule, the sort
of weather which will be experience
ed weeks and months ahead.
The persons who do this are usu-
ally "astrologers, who declare that
they can ascertain this by means
of the relativity of the heavenly bo-
dies at any given time in the future.
Needless to say, astrology is not TAX
en- seriously by scientific astrono-
mers and weather prophets today. 1t
is not considered by them a true
science"

WAGE REDUCTION AT
STANDARD OIL co.

NEW YORK, Feb. employees
at all of the refineries of the Stand
ard Oil Company have voluntarily
accepted reduction of one-half of
their cost of living bonus, effective
Feb. Is, it was announced today at
the general offices of the company.
The reduction is equivalent to 10 per
cent. of their wages.
Employees of the Bayonne and
Bayway (Elizabeth) plants of the
oil company of New Jersey consid-
cred the proposed reductions al
meetings last night. While reports
came from Warrington. w. Va.
that employees of the Eureka Pipe
Line Company, a Standard oil sub
sidiary. had been notified of similar
reduction.
In the West Virginia field a num-
ber of employees OF the South Per
Oil Company also a Standard Oi
subsidiary, have been laid off.
The proposed reduction, accord
ing to employees who have been noti-
fed of the plan, will take the form
of suspension of the ten per cent
wage bonus granted during the wal
to offset the pressure of high living
costs. At the time the bonus was
made effective the company an
nounced it reserved the right to sus-
pend it when living costs returned
to normal. 1t was reported that the
company would issue a statement
during the day.
