Mr. E. 8. Turner has accepted a
play, dealing as it does with the life
of a woman. It is, above all, a clean
play, and at no time by word or sug-:

are laid in London and South Africa, j
and great scope is thus given for col

State Constable Seay, who has been
stationed here for some weeks, went
to Spartanburg Friday. Constable
Seay is a careful and efficient officer
and there are those in this vicinity
who will remember him when they
think of what they thought was theirs
that he scooped.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph C. Philips will regret to learn
of the death of their little daughter, (
Odell. The little one died Friday
night after a week’s illness, and was
buried at Corinth Sunday. The be
reaved parents have the sympathy of
their friends including The Ledger.
Mr. J. C. Tucker, who has had
charge of the Western Union Tele
graph office here for a long time, has
given up his position and will leave
tomorrow for Silver City, Ga. Mr. |
Tucker is an efficient operator and
star launched, and they were there
to view it all from an artistic or a
monetary point of view, respectively.
At the rise of the curtain there was
felt a languid feeling of interest, and
che rattling of progammes was heard
through the house. Miss Mountford
soon appears; a silence comes over
the scene as she speaks;’ then you
feel the audience settling itself; the
act ends, and a genuine burst of ap
plause breaks out. The woman has
made them feel! The curtain rises
on the second act. Here is seen an
improvised military hospital on the
South Atrican Veldt. Here is the
woman, "Ruth” tells her experience.
There is an oppressive silence—the
audience seems to hang on the words
of the actress, and as she finishes
there is a sigh of sympathy and then
a hearty roundjof applause ; the act
ends dramatically and almost unex
pectedly, and you hear the words all
about you—“fine; excellent; splen
did!” From now on, all is interest,;
growing stronger all the ;time, until

. Q ,i u I have parents. Parents consist of
Pas and Mas. Pas talk a good deal
about what they are going to do, but
it’s mostly Mas that make you
mind.
Sometimes it is different, though.
Once a boy came home from college
on vacation. His parents lived on a
farm. There was work to be done on
the farm. Work on a farm always
has to be done early in the morning.
This boy didn’t get up. His sister
goes to the stairway and calls:
“Willie, ’tis a beautiful morning.
Rise and list to the lark,”
The boy didn’t say anything.
Then Ma calls:
“William, it is time to get up.
Your breakfast is growing cold.”
The boy kept right on, not saying
anything. Then his Pa puts his bead
in the stairway, and says he:
“Bill!”
‘ Coming, sir!” says the boy.
I anow a boy that hasn’t got any
parents. He goes in swimming
whenever he pleases. But I am go
ing to stick to my parents. How
ever, I don’t tell them so ’cause they
might get it into their heads that I
couldn’t get along without them.
Says this boy to me :
“Parents are a nuisance; they
aren’t what they are cracked up to
be.”
Says I to him :
“Just the same I find ’em bandy
to have. Parents have their failings,
of course, like all of us, but on tbe
whole I approve of ’em, and I hope

scorn upon her. Then the sudden
transition—from the suppliant to tbe
tigress as she cries out the words:
"Who.are you? Who are you?” The
audience breaks throughall restraint;
they applaud, they shriek their ap
probation. The scene is finished in a
whirl of tumultuous enthusiasm, and
as the curtain falls Miss Mountford
is recalled again and again. The most
hardened and blase theatre-goers
have fallen under the snell of tbit-
woman’s magnetism, and tbe power
of tbe play. Then comes the last

In the current issue of the Church

there appears an editorial article de
manding a chief executive for the Epis

a chief executive is as necessary for a
church as for a nation, and it calls at
tention to the fact that ‘the Roman
Catholic church has a personal head,
rapidly growing more representative in
character, to the undeniable benefit f
the Catholic cause. The article urges
that Christendom should be unified and
