The Appeal

The Great Inventor Says the House of the Future Will Be of Concrete and May Be Built in a Day. HOME OF THE EDISONS IN WEST ORANGE, N.J. VOL. 23 NO. 49. EDISON'S THOUSAND The Great Inventor Says to Be of Concrete and M Had certain recent statements ascribed to Thomas A. Edison come from any other quarter they would have been regarded as the babbling of an irresponsible dreamer. From such a source, however, they carry with them an air of authority that demands consideration. For Edison is a man who has been making such statements now these many years. When he began to say things about electric possibilities that were not even hinted at in the text placed he would that we started out of its habitual calm. When he began to convert these possibilities into realities the same world accepted them wonderingly and called him "wizard." So it has come to pass that when he gives utterance to some new thought conceived in the secret recesses of his wonderful thinking apparatus we do not scoff at him or refuse to listen. No matter how unsparingly he draws on our credulity—it may be subjected to some trying test—we cannot protest. Although our breath may be coming in fitful gasps, we "wait and see." It certainly makes a fearful drain on our capacity for believing to be confronted with Mr. Edison's latest marvel—the indestructible three-story cement dwelling built in twelve hours at a cost of $1,000. When we have recovered a little from the shock of such a proposition, made apparently in good faith, we turn expectantly to the facts as they stand now. On the second floor of Thomas A. Edison's laboratory at West Orange, N. J., may be seen the model of a very attractive Queen Anne cottage. Apropos of this model, Mr. Edison has recurrently followed: "Some time next spring I intend to build a house after that model. By means of a system of molds which I have patented it will be possible for any one who understands the business to erect a house of solid cement twenty-five feet in width and forty-five feet in depth, three stories in height and roomy to house comfortably three families. The building will cost not to exceed $1,000. "The all important feature of the patent lies in the molds. They are of iron and the inside facings are nickel plated and are fashioned exactly like the outside of the model. Composed almost entirely of a composite of my own devising, consisting of one part cement, three parts sand and five parts of quarter-inch crushed stone. "At 6 in the morning we take the movable steel castings to a vacant lot. These are clamped together with bolts, and you have before you a house of iron, with hollow walls. Meantime we are mixing our concrete. The machinery to raise this soft concrete to the top of the iron framework—a big mold, you understand—is ready on the spot. By 6 o'clock at night there is your house inside your ironwork. Everything, except the doors and windows, is in place. In six days the iron frame is unbolted and removed. In another eight days the concrete is completely hardened and the house ready to live in—fifteen days from start to finish. "The only wood used is the strips around the edges of the floors on which to tack down a carpet and those around the wall for the picture molding. All this is put in place in the ironwork before the concrete has been poured in. The tiling around the fireplaces and in the chimneys, the gas and water pipes, are also cast in the same way in the concrete walls. The pipes, the heating pipes, the bath tubs and closets are all cast with the walls." All this without so much as the twinkle of an eye to suggest that you are being victimized. Do not finch; there are further wonders to be told: "I have built the model of this house on the basis of a laborer owner getting $1.50 per day. The molding forms A Desirable Fault. "One more question," said the trust, magnate to the applicant. "How is your memory?" "Very hazy," replied the latter. "Good," cried the magnate. "The job is yours. Joys of Absence. "Aren't you awfully lonesome without George?" "I haven't time to be. I spend the mornings reading his letters and the afternoons answering them." --- are of cast iron, and for $1,000 the entire house can be built, this to include heating pipes, staircases of cement, floors and mantels of cement and a cement roof that won't leak, plumbing and even bathtubs will be of cement. "The durability of the house is unquestionable. It will last forever. Even children may go around with axes and chop as long as they like without doing any material harm. "Therefore there will be no necessity for repairs. Even the window sashes will be of cement. Aside from the narrow strip of wood intended for the holding of carpet tacks the only wooden thing about the house is the front strop. I have given it a wooden to make it more beautiful. I have given in consultation with New York architects on the subject of the wooden strop, and I think it possible to omit that material in the stool construction. It will contain contractor $30,000 to get the molds with which to build the house, but then he will be able to build over 30,000 houses with the one set of molds. The molds can be taken down in a few hours after the house has been finished, and they may be carted to any part of the world in less space than is required for shipping an ordinal derrick. That's what will appeal strongly to commercial economy. In selling contractors the iron castings used in the manufacture in the use of cement that will have to be poured the cement will be poured into the molds until it flows over the top. Then the house is practically finished. I won't sell the molds to any one who does not satisfy me of the quality of his concrete formula. In the great San Francisco disaster the houses which withstood the earthquake were built of cement." Mr. Edison now makes the announcement that his storage battery proposition has been brought to a condition in which it is of economic value. In the case he has been working on this great feature the new storage works are turning out the new storage batteries at the rate of 300 a week. This effort to obtain a storage battery that will do more than the work of a horse at less expense has been a THE LIBRARY THE BOOKSHELF CORNER IN EDISON LABORATORY long and sometimes discouraging one. After three years of almost constant labor and experiment Edison made a battery which would propel a truck 12,000 miles before a new plate became necessary. This result was gratifying, but it was not enough to drive horses from the field. The inventor or found that in order to run the truck animal out of business it would be necessary to construct a battery that would accomplish 50,000 miles without a new plate. He has succeeded, he says, in doing this. He has perfected a 50,000-mile battery, and in a few weeks it will be on the market and cheap enough for it to be sold. If it is realized it will be one of the greatest labor caving devices ever invented. It will be able to carry twice the load of the ordinary truck, will vere penalties, be pricked which taped a point and a must each end. Once a month together.

Although Mr. Edeson has patented his wonderful concrete house, he purposes to let any one who wishes to build it have the right without charge, stipulating only that every person who builds shall use the proper kind of concrete, enforce it with twisted iron rods and turn out an artistic product. He declares that the laboring man is going to get a "square deal" on this improvement. He declares all idea of personal gain from the invention and says that he will make a gift of it to the working people of America. All of which is in line with the declaration made on his last birthday to the effect that all of his efforts here after would be exerted solely for the benefit of his fellow men. —W. E. Emery. MODEL OF HOUSE OF THE FUTURE SOME FREAK SOCIETIES. The Pointed Beards in Paris—To Defend Cause of Fat Men. "Pointed beards only need apply." This is the law of the latest Parisian society of freaks—the "Sphenopogenes," as they call themselves. Its members, who are compelled by the rules of the society to wear pointed beards and mustaches, have handed themselves together for the avowed purpose of promoting perennial joyfulness. It is a secret society. Its deliberations are secret; its dinners are secret; its happy evenings are secret, and the names of its members can be seen only in the society's secret books. The Sphenopognes comprise leading politicians, literary men and artists living in various parts of France. Each member must be elected unanimously, and must, under pain of se vere penalties, promise to wear a beard, which tapers symmetrically to a point and a mustache also pointed at each end. Once a month the members dine together. The date and place of meeting are arranged by the "gonfalonier," as the treasurer is calied, and the proceedings are kept strictly private, no one being admitted except duly enrolled members. If any member has between one dinner and another distinguished himself by writing a successful play or a book, or by painting a picture of exceptional merit, or by doing anything to earn public praise, he is greeted with uproarous applause. After dinner the possessors of the pointed beards give themselves up to conviviality in accordance with the terms of their secret charter. England, too, can boast of her freak societies. There is, for instance, the Appendicitis society, a fashionable and select circle, the members of which they are welcome; an operation for appendicitis. The Society for Putting Woman in Her Proper Place was formed in London a few months ago with the object of combating the movement for womans' suffrage. There is also a society of bald heads and two or three societies of bachelors, and a few run in the interests of old maids. In Germany not long ago was formed a Society for the Encouragement of Adipose Tissue, an organization which stoutly defended the cause of fat men. Every man is said to have his price—but the trouble is nobody but himself knows the private mark. No Great Danger. "I risk my life every time I appear," declared the acrobat, who had gone into the arena. "It it alms that bad with me," admitted the monologue artist. "I do tell some awful old ones, but still—" "Can't Dick and Mabel patch up their quarrel?" "I'm afraid not. I proposed they should patch it up, but Dick said he didn't care a darn." JOINING HIS HERD. THE FATAL CALL. At the present time a host of sportsmen are scattered all over the great Northwest after the king of big game, the mighty moose, whose loud call, echoing through the soothing pines, is its own death knell should the hunter hear it. Though the moose is not a migratory animal, it has a wide range, the most southern limit being near the Green river, Wyoming, up to Yukon and Alaska. In the latter place, especially around Cooks Inlet, they are most abundant. They are still plentiful in Northern Maine, New Brunswick, many parts of annapha, Manitoba, Minnesota, Idaho, British Columbia and Alberta, but the far more grounded grounds for moose are the New Brunswick, Maine, Northwestern Manitoba and the Ottawa river country of Canada. In these places a wise restriction is placed on the number killed, and the law is now so framed that this noble creature is in a measure protected, as least so far as numbers killed and shipped. Each hunter must have a license and is allowed to kill but one bull, though there is no question that many animals are wounded, who die in the silent fastnesses of the forest and are so lost to the hunter. Because of its immense size and massive antlers the moose is naturally to every hunter of game a grand A prize. Every season the sportman tries a snow to beat his own and others' past, records, to get a large pair of antlers. The fascination and attraction of the game lure many men away from business cares every season with the fall of the leaf. Oct. 16 is the opening day. From that time until Dec. 1 hunters and guides place themselves in every available range which moose are known to frequent. There are several ways in which moose are hunted: First and most popular is "moose calling" and consists in imitating the call of the female, thereby calling up the male. Then there is "creeping" or "stalking" moose, following in its tracks in soft leather moosecasis, stealthily tracking the animal from the moose yards through the forest. This method is a most difficult feat, as it is hard to get close to the shrew. Another mode of hunting is to take the moose down on snowywares. This requires endurance on the part of the hunter, but is not considered as legitimate as calling, because if the snow lies deep the moose is soon, exhausted and its killing a matter of no effort. During the deep snows of winter they herd together in sheltered spots in the forest, and soon, by constantly Orthodox Explanation. A mother was giving her little girl a bath when she said: "I wonder where this dust on the water came from?" Small Girl—Perhaps I leak somewhere, mamma. You know, I'm made of dust." Reams of Testimony. The leaves in. Fall are all aflame, Likewise aglow. So many poets make this claim It must be so. moving about in a contracted area, tread down the snow until they form what is known as a moose yard, making new yards from time to time as the food supply is exhausted. If sufficient food is at hand they stay throughout the winter in the same yard. Either in summer or winter the moose may lay their haunts. It is believed that those know that they rarely go outside a range of twenty miles from the place of their birth, and when tracked they follow a circular beaten path and back to the beginning. The moose is not fitted to move in deep snow. Its feet are very small compared to its great weight, and if found and hunted when the snow lies deep under the grounds its destruction is utterly severe. The most desirable trophies are those whose spreading antlers measure the greatest distance across and are the greatest height at the shoulders. The largest moose on record stood exactly seven feet at the shoulders and weighed, when dressed, 1,123 pounds. The largest antlers have a spread of six feet two inches, with a weight of antlers and dry skull of nine inches. The antlers can canoeing many miles from the mountains of man the hunter and his guides will prospect around to find "moose signs," the surest of these being tracks of a recent date. If found, camp is fixed JOINING HIS HERD. and every preparation made, the horn of birch bark, the guns and ammunition, in spink-span order, being ready by nightfall for business. It is no easy task to find a suitable "calling place," but the best are near the water on a piece of dry ground, well shaded with trees and shrubs, and a tolerably open space around it for some distance, so that the bull may be seen coming up when it is yet at a little distance. The moose is always disinclined to leave the friendly shelter of une trees, and the call must be very exact to lure it. Few hunters are able to call as well as the guides or Indians, who by long practice can imitate the call of different animals and birds with wonderful success. The guide will climb a tree that the sound may reach a greater distance, calling through his horn, gently at first, in case there should be a bull very near. He then waits a quarter of an hour, and, getting no answer, calls again a second time, calling sometimes half a hour after each attempt. A calm, moonlight night is best for calling, for the reason that the moose is so wary in coming up to the call he will invariable make a circle down wind in order to get scent of the animal which is calling him; therefore it THE FATAL CALL. Aftermath, Visitor—How are conditions here? Has confidence returned? Resident-Conditions are slowly settling down to their former basis, but confidence has not returned. Most of the people still believe it was the children of their next door neighbors that carried away their gates last Thursday night." What a grand thing the photograph would have been in the days of the inquisition! a breath of wind is astute the moose will get a scent of the hunter before the latter has a chance of seeing the moose. It will not come up in the daytime, but will answer only from an hour before sunset to two hours after sunrise. Only those bulls respond who are not provided with a cow, and if a real cow begins calling, the rough imitation of the hunter has poor chance of success. Fortunately, no two moose appear to have the same voice, but make all kinds of strange and diabolical noises. The real difficulty is when the bull is close by, suspicious and listening every biter of its intensely accurate to the truest any sound that may reveal the truth is approaching. The slightest wrong vibration, the least unnatural sound, will send him tramping away. Or it may be that the most accomplished caller fails to induce the suspicious animal to show himself. The more ignoble passion of jealousy must then be aroused. The guide will grant like an engaged bull, break dead branches from the trees, thrash his bark bark on against the bushes, thus making a noise exactly like a moose fighting the bushes with his antlers. The bull cannot bear the idea of a rival, and, casting pride to the wind, not infrequently falls a victim to jealousy and rage. Sometimes a bull will come to the woods at most extreme caution; at others he will run through the woods as hard as he can go, rushing through the thickets fear, making a noise like a steam engine. He looks gigantic in the thin morning mist just beginning to drift up from the lowlands. Great volumes of steam issue from his nostrils, and his whole aspect, looming in the fog, is vast and almost terrific, standing perfectly motionless, staring at the spot from which he had heard the cry of the supposed cow, irresolute whether to move or not. Meanwhile the hunter, on one knee, gun in hand, trembles from head to foot. Old hands are not shaky when the final moment comes, but the first shot of a novice is apt to go wide of the mark. The very saddness of so grand a game makes the nerves tingle and a queer pain run down the spine. Just at the time when steady work is required the nerves fall to pieces in a bungling mess. The ball has missed even so big a target, and while the loud thump of the retreating animal is heard no words can describe what is said. But the case is different with a veteren hunter. Calm and still, waiting only a second to place the ball in a spot where it will surely tell, he lets go. With a loud snort and savage roar, the moore rears in the air, then falls to its knees. Raising itself once more, it makes for the forest. Another shot is heard and the lifeless, ponderous mass falls to the earth. A Sound Sleeper. "Della," began Mrs. Newliwed, timidly.

HAVE QUEER JOBS ODD OCCUPATIONS OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. "Chief Poisoner" Has Important Work In the National Museum—Millions of Dollars' Worth of Old Money Destroyed. While the ordinary work of a government clerk at Washington is that of "shoving the pen," yet there are, nevertheless, many peculiar occupations carried on there under the direction of Uncle Sam. Thus, for instance, how many have ever heard that the government has in its employ a "chief poisoner." Startling as it may seem, such, however, is the fact. And what does this poisoner poison? Persons guilty of lese malestie? Not yet. This genial poisoner is attached to the staff of the National museum. In this building there are valuable exhibits. Because of their character it is necessary that they should be preserved from vermin, rust and decay. For every class of exhibit the chief poisoner has a different preparation of poison. The books, the stuffed birds and animals, the historical exhibits, and, in fact, everything is readily poisoned. Even the show cases are treated with some sort of preparation of poison to the bold cockroach or inquisitive animal that should wander into the National museum. If they should happen to run over the cases they would certainly think they were crossing the hot sands. Besides being a preventive poison is so adapted that it also acts as a preservative for the articles poisoned. One would hardly think that money would be willfully destroyed. Yet such is the case in Washington, and the government even pays to have it done. They may have money to burn in many of the cities of the United States, but at the national capital they do not believe in this crematorium fad and so simply tear it up. Thus, more fully, there are several men in the treasury department whose exclusive duty it is to see that all old, canceled and condemned money is destroyed in the immense masseurator, which is located in the cellar of the building and even millions of dollars are there to be taken, who make it their duty to deliberately destroy money and get paid for it, too. The pulp of the destroyed money is sold and from it is made souvenirs of Washington. Many of these souvenirs contain thousands and thousands of destroyed money. How would you like to be the money smasher? Have you any idea what the "imitator" does? His name really tells the story. It is his duty to make an exact imitation of anything the National museum may need. Thus fruit of every description, fishes, models of Indians, etc., are made to order in such a manner as to deceive experts after the closest examination. A story told by a old illiterate an old imitator connected with the museum, but now dead. It appears that this artist invited all of the museum officials to his birthday party. There is a bountiful repast awaited them. There was the finest beefsteak, vegetables of all kinds, delicious fruit wine, cigars, etc. But what was the dismay and astonishment of the guests when they discovered that this entire repast throughout was all artificial-imitated. They were made out of clay, plaster, wax, etc., but copied so silkile that even the museum of salamander animals were they to such imitations, were themselves foiled. Although a real repast was afterward served, they nevertheless felt chary about eating, not knowing whether this modern wizard might not have played pranks even with the food they ate.

Clarke and his bride started for a tour of the world which will last 18 months. Miss Hannegan, who has been living in London for about 15 years, crossed the ocean in order that her marriage might be celebrated in Washington She crossed with her cousin, Mrs. E H. Abbe, and Capt. Clarke followed on, Meanwhile Duncan Hannegan was on his way across the continent to Washington to give his sister in marriage. The wedding is the culmination of a romance which began just after the Boer war. Capt. Clarke fought with distinction at Ladysmith and Sploskop and was rewarded by King Edward with a decoration of the Dia tungisulated Service Order. When he returned to London he met Miss Hannegan. Miss Hannegan is the daughter of the late Col. and Mrs. Sellman Key Hannegan, who were prominent in the social life of the capital some years ago. Mrs. Hannegan, as Miss Nelson, daughter of the late Gen. Thomas H Nelson of Indiana, was a noted beauty. Following the death of her parents Miss Hannegan went to London where she has since lived, except for a short visit to this country several years ago.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1907. SENATOR JEEF DAVIS SENATOR JEFF DAVIS. The Washington Post recently published portraits and biographies of the new senators. The latter contains some wonderful misstatements which need correction, and THE APPEAL will partially perform the duty as follows: Jeffries Davis is not a "nephew of the Confederate President," and is no more kin to him than he is to King Menelik. He was cunning enough to encourage that idea during his campaigns, but was thoroughly exposed by his opponents. He did not refuse eat with President Roosevelt, but with Minister Powell Clayton. He did not challenge Senator Carmack and instead of running around knocking chips from men's shoulders, he excited contempt all over the state by whining around that the "high-collared roosters" were planning to assassinate him. During one of his campaigns, the hardest charge he had to meet was a cut of an Afro-American, accused of rape, whom he pardoned. And, by the way, when Jeff was running for governor nearly every Afro-American in the state was in his favor. It is said that Jeff invited low Afro-Americans into the KELA HON. JOSEPH G. CANNON.

"white folks' car" and drank whiskey with them and boasted that he could beat Remmel, the Republican candidate, if the election was left to the "niggers." He said he was raised with "niggers" and had drunk potliquor with them, "until he was so full that you could hear it slosh." JOHN'S HOLY WAR "There is one assumption, common in American newspapers against which it may be as well to utter at once a word of protest. It is that the position of this country and of the United States in regard to Japanese immigration is the same. We must remind those who make this assumption that the Japanese are the allies of this country, to whom, for reasons of great and enduring importance, she has bound herself by solemn treaty. That consideration alone should convince all men of common sense that in this matter we are not, and cannot be, in the same position as the Americans." From this it seems evident that when John Sharpe Williams inaugurates his "holy war," he need not expect John Sharp Bull to take a part. COUP DE FINANCE A brilliant coup de finance a la New York was recently brought to light and here's how it was done: The Wall and Courtlandt Street Ferry Railway company had a franchise for a cross-town street railroad in New York, but the use of the franchise was blocked by an injunction. Mr. Brady, being in possession, offered to sell out to the Metropolitan Street Railway company for $250,000. But the late William C. Whitney, then in control of the Metropolitan, arranged that his road should pay $655,607 for the property, of which Mr. Brady was to receive his $250,000, while the remainder, $715,607, was to be divided equally between Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, Thomas Dolan, P. A. B. Widener, William L. Elkins and the brokerage firm of Moore & Schlew. In other words, Whitney deliberately stole about a half million of dollars from the stockholders of his own company and divided the loot among his pals. Perhaps Judge Brewer can calculate how many chickens and watermelons each of the gang could have bought with his "divvy." A Kewaunee jury has brought in a verdict of $14,000 damages against five young men. Their offense was the hazing of a fellow student by tying him to a tombstone and leaving him in the cemetery until in his fright he pulled the stone over, breaking his leg in the effort. In further rebuke the hazers will be held on a criminal charge, making this one of the most expensive college pranks thus far recorded. No doubt many persons will think that the penalty in the foregoing case was too severe. THE APPEAL is of the opinion that the indulgence in rough and brutal sports is an effective training to produce murderers and this country has already a most unenviable reputation on account of the number of brutal murders committed. It is time to call a halt to this backward movement of our civilization. Colonel Watterson says that Kentucky is "as dry as hell or Maine." He fails, however, to note that the untoward condition is the result of "white supremacy," as manipulated by the petticoat politicians who are running things down South. The craze for "white supremacy" has about put an end to railroad progress down South; it has driven all reliable insurance companies out of several states; it has downed Carmack and Hampton and Berry and all the other so-called "high-collared roosters" and filled their places with "hillbillies," and filled the Southern legislatures with dishonest and crack-brained legislators, who consider it their first duty to run amuck against everything that tends toward civilization, and that is what is the matter. "Astonishing as it may seem, the religious element of the population is not noted for its interest in humane work, although the religious organizations are admirably adapted to the achievement of good in this regard. It is very rarely the case that any preacher says a good word for the honest and faithful dumb servants of man." But, then, you see, horses and cows are very remiss in contributing to the current expenses of the church. A high officer of the Norwegian government is sojourning in the North for the purpose of inducing his countrymen to return to their fatherland. He says that his government has become awake to the enormous loss of economic power consequent upon the emigration of Norway's young people to the United States. It would be well for John Temple Graves and other advocates of the deportation of the Afro-American to ponder over this aspect of the question. THE APPEAL is not a great admirer of prize-fighting, but is a little better satisfied at learning that Joe Gans won his last fight and retains the championship, than if it had been the white fellow. If the only way for the Afro-American to get to the top is for him to pound his way. Let him pound. "And now it's hog-killing time." As the Northern.people are woefully ignorant of things down south, THE APPEAL will explain that hog-killing time differs from Afro-killing time, since it comes only once a year. J.M.B.

She was a member of Fifth Avenue Baptist church, of which her father was virtually founder and pastor for thirty-three years and until his death. She was a graduate of the Poorer Institute of Fond du Lac, Wis., and followed teaching as a profession for the greater part of her life having taught in Kentucky, Arkansas, Kansas and Indiana. She married William Penn, also a teacher, in 1878, in Topeka, Kan., and immediately moved to Colorado and lived on her husband's ranch until his death about four years, later, when she again began to teach. Nearly twenty years ago she secured a position in public schools of Jeffersonville. Ind., where she taught continually until within two weeks of the close of the school year last spring when she was stricken by her last illness. Early in last July she was brought to St. Paul to the residence of her brother, where she remained bedfast, despite the best medical care and nursing, until her death. She leaves an only son, Victor, a sister, Mrs. Mary C. Waring, her brothers, J. Q. and C. F. Adams, and numerous more or less distant relatives to mourn their loss. The deceased was a woman of wide knowledge and was a very successful teacher. She possessed a mild, sweet disposition, which made friends for her of all with whom she came in constant contact. Truly it may be said of her a good woman has gone to her heavenly reward. There were placed upon her bier several beautiful floral tributes from relatives and friends, not least of which was a wreath from Pilgrim church.

Don't Hang Birds High. "So the canary's dead, eh?" said a pet stock dealer. "It was a fine bird, too—well worth the $40 you paid me for it. "But I don't wonder it dled. You would keep it hung up near the ceiling. They shouldn't be kept up high at all. Their cages should be on tables, not hooks. "Up near the ceiling the air of a room is very bad, especially at night. Indeed, at night, if you burn oil or gas, the air is unsupportable up there. For an experiment, stand on a table some night, with your head at the usual bird cage's height, and take a whiff of the atmosphere. It will impress you. "And particularly in rooms where smoking goes on—you know how smoke, like all other impurities, mounts—it is bad to hang birds high.

The family of David Runger was sitting about the room talking, when, according to narrative of the persons involved, a bolt of lightning came down the chimney, entered a cupboard and shattered many glasses and dishes, passed across Mr. Runger arm and killed a valuable dog he was patting on the head. Mr. Runger's arm was paralyzed and useless for three hours. Then the bolt ran across the floor and affected the knees of Mr. Runger's daughter, then paralyzed the son's leg and finally jumped to the cradle, making a red streak across the baby's breast. Mrs. Scribbler (impressively)— Whatever you do, never, never marry a newspaper man. School Friend—Why not? **Uber Friend - WYE** **not:** "I married one and I know. Every night my husband brings home a lot of newspapers from all over the country which drive me crazy." "The newspapers?" "Indeed / they do. They are just crammed with the most astonishing bargains and shops a hundred miles away." "We hear a great deal about successful men, but little about successful women." "I know it. Yet every little while we meet a woman who had succeeded in marrying off four or five daughters." "So your wife refused to marry you when you first proposed to her. Did you keep on pursuing her till she consented?" "Not much! I went out and made a fortune. When I came back it was she who did the pusing." Aurelia—How many proposals did you have last summer, dear? Jessie—Sixteen, dear. Aurelia—What a terrible persistent fellow that Tommy Noodles must be! A. Author of "Parted on Her Bridal Tour," at the Grand Next Week. Stamped with the approval of fourteen consecutive weeks in the popular-priced play houses of Greater New York, comes Laura Jean Libbey's great play of heart throbs and tears, "Parted on Her Bridal Tour." Wherever produced in the preliminary season this spring, Miss Libbey's main effort as a dramatist evoked the highest praise from both press and public. "Parted on Her Bridal Tour," as a play, is as good as a sermon; it tells a story of home love, of the devotion between husband and wife; its characters are real and possible; there are no thrilling murders; no blood curdling escapes from burning buildings, but good, substantial comedy drama; a smile for every tear, a laugh for every sigh. The production, which numbers twenty people, are all selected for their individual worth. The mounting of the piece is of exceptional strength and beauty. Charles E. Blaney offers "Parted on Her Bridal Tour" at the Grand for the week starting Sunday matinee Dec. 8th, with matinees on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. Miss Katherine Roth, the leading lady, will hold a reception on the stage after the Wednesday matinee, when she will present each lady with a souvenir photograph of herself.
