THE FARMER: OCTOBER 30, 1913 11 3 WI THIN By MARVIN, DANA from the play of BAYARD VEILLER Copyright. 1913, by the It. K."FIy Oo. i Continued) Of a sadden, an inspiration came to him. a means to snap the tension, to create a diversion -wholly efHcacions. He would tarn to his boasting again, would call upon his vanity, which he knew well as his chief foible, and make It serve as the foil against his love. "You want to cat out worrying about me," he counseled, bravely. "Why, I atnt worrying any, myself not a little bit! You see, It's something new I've putted off. Nobody ever put over any thing like it before." He faced Burke with a grin of gloat . tag again. "I'll bet there'll be a lot of stuff in the newspapers about this, and my pic ture, too, in most of 'em! What?" - The man's manner imposed on Burke, though Mary felt the torment that his vainglorytog was meant to nask. "Say," Garson continued to the In spector, "it the reporters want any pictures of me could I have some new ones taken ? The one you've got of me In the gallery is over ten years old. I've taken 'off my beard since then. Can I have a new one?" "Sure yon can, Joe. 111 send you up to the gallery right now." , , '"Immense!" Garson cried boisterous ly. He ' moved toward Dick Gilder, walking ' with a faint suggestion of wagger to cover the nervous tremor that had seised him. "So long, young fellow," he exclaim ed . and held out his hand. "You've been on the square, and I guess you always win be." Dick had no scruple in clasping that extended hand very warmly In his "We'll do what we can for you,' he said simply. "That's all right.' Garson replied, with such, carelessness of manner as he could contrive. Then at last he turned to Mary. This parting most be blttef, and be braced himself with, all (he vigors of his ' will to combat the weakness that leaped from his souL As he came near the girl, could hold herself In leash no longer. She threw herself on his breast. Her arms wreathed about his neck. Great sobs racked Iter. "Oh, Joe, Joe!" The gasping' cry was f utter despair. Gareen's tenKiag hand , patted the girl's shoulder very softly, a caress of Infinite tesderness. j - . "That's alT right," he murmured buskUy. "Thaf s all right, Mary." Tbexe -was a short silence, and then he went on speaking more firmly. "Ton know, hen look after you." He looked up over the girfs shoul der . and beckoned with hn head to Dick,- who came forward. "Take good care of her, won't you?" He disengaged, himself gently from the girl's embrace and set her within the arms of her husband, where she That all right. That's Mary." all right, rested quietly, as If unable to fight longer against fate's decree. "Well, so long!" He dared not utter another word, but -turned blindly, and went, stum bling a little, toward the doorman, who had appeared in answer to the inspector's call. To the gallery," Burke ordered (fcrtly. . ' Garson went . en without ever a glance back. There was a long silence In the room after Garson's passing. It was bro ken at last by the inspector, who got up from his chair and advanced to ward the husband and wife. In his hand he carried a sheet of paper, rough ly scrawled. As he stopped before the two and cleared his throat, Mary with drew herself from Dick's arms and re garded the official with brooding eyes from out her white face. Burke extended the sheet of paper to the busbaud. "There's a document," he said gruff ly. "If s a letter from one Helen Mor ris. In which she sets forth the Inter acting fact that she pulled off a theft to. the Emporium, for which your Mrs. Gilder here did time. You know, your father got your Mrs. Gilder sent up for three years for that same Job which she didn't do. That's why she had such a grudge against your father and against the law too!" Burke chuckled, as the young man tofit &m jpafierwondisringiy. . l. It 7 ' & THE LAW ""I doct know that I blame her much for that grudge, when all's said and done. You give that document to your father. It sets her right. He's a just man according to his lights, your fa ther. He'll do all he can to make things right for her, now he knows. Now, you two listen. I've got to go out a minute. When I get back, I don't want to find anybody here not any body! Do you get me?" When the official was gone, the two stood staring mutely each at the other through long seconds. What she read in the man's eyes set the woman's heart to beating with & new delight. What he read In her eyes set the hus band's pulses to bounding. He opened bis arms in an appeal that was a command.- Mary went forward slowly, without hesitation, In a bliss that for got every sorrow for that blessed mo ment, and cast herself on his breast. the: end. How did the potato crop of 1912 com pare with that of 1911? Greater In quantity,: but less In value. In 1911 the crop was 292,737,000 bushels of the farm value of $234,000,- 000. The crop of 1912 was 414,289,000 bushels, farm value $ 190,000,000. The crop of 1911 was short, and large Im ports were brought Into the country to supply the temporary deficiency, yet the short crop of 1911 was worth $44,000,000 more than the much larger crop of 1912. The acreage of potatoes In Indiana In 1912 was 87,000, produc tion 9,918,000 bushels, total farm value $4,959,000. , : Has perjury ever been punished by death? Practically, yes.- The early Romans threw perjurers from the Tarpelan rock, a high cliff, falling from which was certain death, and at a later period any person who swore falsely was sentenced to have his tongue cut out, which also was equivalent to death. What wai the CtTTe of the steamboat General "Slocum - disaster ' and how many lives were lost? , The disaster occurred June 15, 1904, the boat burning in the East river with about 1,400 persons aboard, and more than 1,000 perished. When was it that a man in Califor nia -was killed by an officer while about to assault ona of tho judges of the United States supreme court? Who were the parties? The incident occurred Ang. 14, 1889, when David S. Terry, a former judge and notorious character of California, was shot and killed by a deputy United States marshal when about to assault Judge Stephen G. Field. Justice Field had gone to California In the perform ance of bis duties, and the deputy had been . specially sent to protect him. Terry's grudge against Field was on account of a -f ormer decision, and he was in the act of making a deadly 'as sault on Field when he was shot. Is the pearl properly classed as a precious stone? Hew does it rank in value? Strictly speaking, it is not a stone that is, not a . mineral being the prod uct of a shellfish, but it is universally classed among "precious stones and only second or third to the diamond in value. An English expert on precious stones even places the pearl first, and as a treasure of feminine royalty it ranks asvthe aristocrat of gems. -How is the population of the United States distributed as 'tween city and country? By the census of 1910 the total pop ulation of the United States was 91, 972,266, of whom 42,623,363 lived in cities and Incorporated towns of more than 2,500 Inhabitants and 49,348,883 lived in the country and towns of less than 2,500 inhabitants. , What is the origin of the heels on shoes? History Is silent on the subject. The ancients wore sandals or shoes without-heels, fastened by straps or latch ets. Heels of any kind to shoes are of comparatively modern origin. At the close of the civil war how many Union soldiers were there? How many when the Grand Army of the Re public was organized? How many members in the Grand Army of the Republic today (latest statistics)? What is the rate of death a year of old soldiers? An official report of March 1, 1865, showed an available force, officers and men, of 965,591, and by May 1, 1865, the force was increased by enlistments to 1,000,510, but this did not Include those who had served and been dis charged. The total number of enlist ments in the Union army during the war was 2,688,523. The Grand Army of the Republic was organized in Illi nois In July, 1866, and the first na tional encampment was held in Indian apolis Nov. 20, 1866, when the number of veterans must have been nearly as great as at the close of the war in 1865. The membership of the Grand Army continued to Increase for several years until It exceeded 400,000, but of late years there has been a steady de cline. The report of 1912 showed 190, 346 members and 11,594 losses by death during 1911. Farmer "Want Ads lea word TTRACTIONS THE THEATRES PARK THEATRE "THE BEAUTY PARADE." Miss LJlla Brennan, a winsome in-genuo-soubrette, assisted by Joe Phil lips, a. talented youngster whose abili ties run In a light comedy vein, puts over several recent popular song suc cesses in the performance presented by "The Beauty Parade" company, announced for appearance at the Park today. Alma Krugrer of "What Happened to Mary" which will shortly be seen at the local playhouse, is one of our best known Shakespearian actresses. During the first three seasons of the Sothern & Marlowe combination she was understudy for Miss Marlowe. Two years ago when this notable ac tress was taken ill In St. Iouis, Miss Kruger, without rehearsals, played Miss Marlowe's entire repertoire for the two weeks' engagement. It is announced that George M. Co han, who Is to appear here at the Park, .Tuesday evening-, Nov. 4th, in "Broadway Jones" will leave the stage at the end of his present tour on which he is booked until February, 1914. Perhaps the stage can get alon without George M. Cohan, 'but what is the public to do? Mr. Cohan has become ttre best entertainer trie Ameri can stage knows. The man from the street will crowd in to see him, but you take your wife and your children and you may well quarrel with them if they don't laugh, too, and when it Is all over ' you will feel more kindly towards them than you have In a year. THE PLAZA The Fieldlngs, commonly called the human fish, will hold the headline position on the bill at. the Plaza Thea tre commencing with the performance this afternoon. They eat, drink, sew and smoke under water and their abil ity to stay under for long stretches at a time would make an eel look like a "land lubber." Stanley James and company in a screamingly funny farce entitled "Bixby's Baby" will have an important spot on the bill. The theme of the sketch is all in a humorous vein and there is nothing but fun from the start to the finish. Lillian Maynard, vaudeville's dain tiest and most winsome comedienne, cannot fall to please even the most excating of local theatre goers. Hig gins Phelps company in a novel skit entitled "The Property Man" will also appear. There are four talented com edians in the act, all clever laugh- creators. Br6wn and Layson, colored entertainers in a singing and dancing act that is different, ocmpose the vaudeville numbers on the bill. "Silas Marner," a faithful interpretation of the great novel, that made George Eliot famous, in two parts, will be the added feature. A strong cast has put all the pathos and dramatic action in to the story of the old miser whose life was almost wrecked by Squire Cass' weak and villainous sons. "A Fallen Hero," "The Winning Bunch' and "Bumps and Willie" will be in eluded in the motion picture program. POKE'S THEATER The big Poll theatre of "Four Thou sand Laughs" is destined again to fill it's auditorium to capacity for the rest of this week for the deck's of the in coming ship of joy include a most il lustrious list of sterling acts, sketches and mirthful offerings. As the plece-de-resistance to this course of cures for glooms Is Mary Lee and her Seminary girls, who in a diverting, musical concoction beaded by the versatile Mary dispense good looks, beautiful costumes, and plen ty of comedy and action throughout. Another extra feature of the six big acts produced is Robert O'Connor & Company in a forceful drama of the modern times entitled "The Stick-up Man." For those who appreciate the great appeal of the underworld and police in plays that have a moral this playlet will inspire. Pauletta, a novelty contortionist brings marvelous bodily action into a performance that is humorous as well as eccentric. Al Lewis a famous 'Cellist also adds the banjo to his great accomplishment. DeLisle & Vernon, two handsome co mediennes whose dress is exceptional flaunt a new and hysterically f iinnv fifteen minutes of farcical endeavor before their audience and Charles Burke and Charles M. MacDonald are combined for the first time in a me lange of real Irish repartee, song and dance. Burke will be remembered with the famous Burke Brothers and their mule . while McDonald was a member of the great Irish team of Donovan & McDonald. For the edifi cation of the lovers of pictures which through the fine Poll projection are becoming more numerous daily sever al special subjects have been secured including the great Vitagraph two reel feature "The Next Generation." Coun try store on Friday night. EMPIRE The patrons of this theatre are of fered unusually interesting pictures today. Two feature pictures, which can .be seen only at this theatre, as the management holds contracts for their exclusive exhibition. In addi tion to the feature pictures there- are also shown other new pictures. The aim of the management is to provide the best program of pictures to be seen in the city, and that they are succeeding is proven by the capacity business this theatre is enjoying. The pathetic culmination of a ro mance In which the "White Plague" stepped in to prevent the establishing of a homeMs indicated in information secured by the police regarding the mysterious disappearance of Mary Murphy over a week ago. It is fear ed that her reason is effected. She is wandering about aimlessly or has done away with herself. According to meagre reports she had been engaged to John Ferraro for over a year and came to Bridgeport intending to be married. Then the presence of tuber culosis was discovered and it is report ed that Ferraro refused to wed her. Mary entered St. Vincent's hospital for treatment. When she left the hos pital, the authorities expected that she was going to return to her home. In stead, it is learned, she sought to find her lover but was unable to do so. Since then, as far as can be learned, she has not been seen or beard from. I LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS BT BliAJf A RESTING ARTICLE There Is a certain class of woman who can never keep her hands still. No matter where she is, without re gard for time or place, she continual ly fumbles with something. Sometimes she has a bit of sewing or crocheting to toy with. Some times she picks at a necklace or at the buttons or ornaments on -her dress. Sometimes the most unpleasant . of all she fingers the articles on the table near her, - or picks at the cov ering of her chair, etc. This is all a super-excess of ner vousness. - There is nothing criminal about it, but the danger lies in the fact that If allowed to continue unheeded, it can and generally will develop amazing proportions and ability to harm. For this reason, I ad'vocato the fol lowing nerve- exercise1 for the nervous woman. Seat yourself In a comfortable chair. Take a watch In your hands, and hold it quietly, without turning It over and over, and without fum bling with It. ' Regard the face of the watch. Put your mind forcibly on the dial. Compel yourself to think of it what it represents, what it re sembles, what It could look like. Note the time. Then keep your mind on the face of that watch. Never let It travel to other things. , Do hot think about the fob, the monogram on the back. Look at the dial! ' And when your consciousness Is strained to the point of snapping no tice again what the time is. Perhaps you have been at it only a minute. Perhaps five minutes have passed. But whatever the time, you have proven to' yourself that you are able ' to control your nervousness for I American Women By Miss EVA WARD, Engjish Suffragist ? ; A' MEEICAN women are ranch ' IRISHWOMEN.

POUNDS SHE COMES AT ONCE TO ENGLAND AND ' GETS A ; NOTION OF STRATFORD AND A MOST SUPERFICIAL VIEW OF EUROPE. 1 think it admirable in her tor lishwoman would SPEND PART ITY. That's why we are able to raise money, because Englishwomen are USED TO GIVING IT AWAY. I .. understand that American one want to spend it all on themselves. ' . "-, V Girls of Today Left Too Much to Themselves . By Mrs. HARRIOT STANTON Political Union TTTETfB; is no question that a new type of girl has been evolved inhis country these last few years. One great thing that has made for her development is that ARTIFICIAL CHECKS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF HER. I think an illustration of my idea in this respect is a remark I heard a friend make about a young English'girl -who had come awkwardly into a room where there were a lot of people. After she had gone out he said: "When she is twenty-one she is going to know how to enter a room. Now, will she acquire that knowledge by suppression or by freedom?" I think the English girl is under too great suppression, while the American girl has liberty of action. ' . Athletics are having an influence upon the American girl and on the greater opportunities for education which all classes of girls is this coun try enjoy. The girl of today is NOT BEING TAUGHT THAT SHE IS AN INFERIOR BEING. She is being taught to use her mind and her body to the very best advantage. The typical American girl' of the day as I see her physically is much more lithe and slender than the girls of other nationalities. I should say her COLORING IS NOT ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. It is not so rosy as that of the English girl. Perhaps climate is partly to blame, but not altogether. , . . THINK THE TENDENCY -IN THIS COUNTRY IS TO OVER STRAIN YOUNG PEOPLE. I BELIEVE THAT WITH LIBERTY THERE HAS NOT COME QUITE A BALANCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THAT BOYS AND GIRLS ARE LEFT TOO MUCH TO THEMSELVES-AND DONT QUITE KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
