PECACSE of the interest manifested
- in Walter Hampden's revival OF
"The Servant in the House.. few
facts in connection with its original
presentation may not be amiss. The
facts are said to be these:
In 1907 Mr.. Hampden was playing
in London as leading man in an en-
gagement in the West End, when
Edith Wynne Mathison, the actress,
ioined the company. Miss Mathison
was and is the wife of Charles Ram
Kennedy, the playwright. She brought
with her the script of new play that
her husband had written. That play
was "The Servant in the House. Mr..
Hampden saw it's possibilities and
tried to have it produced in London,
but was unsuccessful, and. finally,
sailed for New York.
Scarcely a day elapsed from the
time Mr. Hampden passed through the
customs at New York until he was
seated in a summer house on the es-
tate of Henry Miller. the actor man
aeer, reading to Mr.. Miller the script
of the play Ordinarily Mr.. Miller abb
hors having plays read to him. But
in this instance he lay back In a
hammock, Stimulating slumber. At
the end he expressed deep interest and
a desire to stage the play Immediate
ly. but as he himself was going on
tour this was impossible. He felt he
could not give it his own personal at
tention. SO he engaged Mr.. Hampden
as leading man for Nazimova in "A

A circular letter sent out by L. B.

Jackson fell into the error of attack
ing the Farm Bureau Federation,
probable unacquainted with the ex-
cellent work being done by this asso-
citation for the farmers in Ben Hill
county, and thus stirred up hor-
nets nest.

was finally agreed to. However a

Heavy Sleepers Fail
To Hear Explosion

A good conscience is a great thing
and generally reputed to be the best
remedy against insorl;a For a spe-
cihc proof of this we have the state
ment of Walter Robitszh, that though
the reported eXplos ion of dynamite
was within a hundred yards of his
house, which partly demolished the
trestle on the A., B. & a. Wednes-
day night, neither himself or any
member of his good family were
aroused by it. Mr.. Gaffney, who re-
sides on the Pittman farm close by,
is another neighbor who failed to
hear the racket, which was heard all
over the city, more than four miles
from the explosion, as were several
other farmers, very near to the
wrecked trestle. These farmers are
among the very best and most re.
sponsib.e in the county, in whose
veracity the entire community have
the most explicit confidence The
explosion occurred, the destroyed
timbers are in evidence but the en-
tire matter is shrouded in mystery.
