Our Country in Scene and Song, a ser ies of historical tableaux, was given in St. John’s Reformed church on Wednes day evening, Feb. 26. Realistic in cos tume and setting each tableau, showing as it did, some new event or era in our nation’s history, evoked wonder, admit-1 ation and enthusiasm. To quote an in terested spectator, the man indeed must: have been sadly lacking in patriotism not to have been stirred in thought and re membrance of the glorious achievements of the past and the hope of future recoid j as great. Each tableau as presented was accompanied by suitable music. Ist. The Red Man. With pine tree s I for a background, against which the tepee stood out boldly, five Red Men in charac teristic attitude, each depicting some tra dition of our first inhabitants, were ar- , ranged. Messrs. George Manahan, Chas [ Harbaugh, Wm. Bensal, Chas. Manah>n, j and Earl Eby took the parts, and dr. Thos. Pryor sang ‘‘l’m a good old Indi m 2nd. An Indian group. In this th. In dian women and children were grouped about the tepee and the iron kettle swan' | from the tripod. Some mothers had their , papooses in theircr.-diesstrapped on their backs while others were engaged in var- i ious other occupations. The chorus sang “Blue Juniata.” Thoss taking part were Misses Berdetle Kauffman, Agnes Will ard, Mary, Susie and Florence Manahan and Mary Naylor. 3rd. The Landing of the Pilgrims Marking as It does, a new era in our na tion’s history, this tableau was most im pressive. This group consisting of Mrs. Ethel Small, Misses Emma Crawford, Marie Law, Mary Crawford, Edna Ehy, Elizabeth Harbaugh, Lucilc Eby, Messrs Hugh Eby, Carl Firor, Paui Manahan and Walter Williur stood motionless daring the singing, “ J he breaking waves dash ed high.” 4th.

Miss Blanche Watson sang “Love’s Sweet Song." sth. George and his hatchet. This ap pealed to the hoys and girls who have ever looked upon this story as extieinel wonderful. Whitmer B.

In this George Washington as a 1 youth is calle 1 upon to dc i ietn towhe'.h --i er he should or sho dd not join the Navy. I In the first scene he is seen sitting on his trunk in thoughtful attitude, whiie his j mother sadly watches him. In the sec i ond, after he has decided not to go, he is ! standing with his n other’s hand upon his I shoulder. Mrs. An bel Ehy and Francis Manahan sustained the puts adinir.toly. Home, Sweet Home, was sung. 7th. George Washington as it soldier of fine physique and military bearing was i ably presented by Mr. Joseph Kauffman, i while the chor,.s sang Yankee Moodie. | th. The Birth of the Flag, in which Betsey Ross and tlnee friends are sew j ing, making the Stars and Stripes. T his i was “Old Glory’s” first appearance, and j made the tableau, with its daintily clad | women, very attractive. Miss Esther j Harbaugh, Mrs. Ethel Sm.h aid Mrs. i Mabel Eby, look the pal ts. Chorus, Flag of the Free. 9th. Betsey Ross an! the Flag. This depicts a well known scene where Betsey shows her Hag to Washington, Judge Morris and Mr. Ross.

A scene in the breakfast room at Mt. Ver non.

Mr. Charles Manahan took the part of a sol dier asleep, dreaming of the glories and victories of our great heroes. Rev. Fi ror, accompanied on the violin by W. B. Firor, sang “My Dream of the U. S. A. 12th. A Patritic Group. This last tab leau will long be remembered. Miss Mt- , ry Brown as Columbia was a striking fig ure. Every part was well taken.

(The Equal Franchise League of 1 ini • - iri dit. assumes responsibility for all state ments, facts and arguments edited in ; this column.) j “They’re always abusing the women, ! Asa terrible plague to men; They say we’re the root of all evil, And repeat it again and again; Of wars, and quarrels, and bloodshed, Ail mischief, be what it may: And pray, then, why do you marry us, If we’re all the plagues you say? And why do you take such care of us, And keep us so safe at home, And are never easy a moment, If ever we chance to roam? ■ When you ought to be thanking heaven That your plague is out of the way You all keep fussing and fretting ‘Where IS my plague to-day?’ If a plague peeps out at a window, Up go the eyes of the men; If she hides, then they all keep staring Until she looks out again.” Everything gets its knocks—so with the cause of suffrage, and those back of it. It is not necessary to try to say any thing in defense of suffrage its very rapid progress of late defends itself. Whether we approve of certain meth ods or not, to advance a cause, matters hale. It takes all sorts ot methods to reach ail sorts of people. All honor to those who are brave enough to go into the limelight to meet jilis and ridi. ale and opposition. All of us do not care to make ourselves con spicuous, alt ho quiet work counts in its way. "They also serve who only lai d a d wait. ” If the mere marching of women t ad vance a good cause calls forth sin fi a 'i rade of adverse criticism, what most tie critics think of the conduct of tho-c who jihed, slurred, blackguarded, in uh >, j. sited the women? Not only men! i fi. v* the mark!) joined in this disgraceful n diict, hut women! Is it not much worse and more to he deplored that women engaged in s i ha performance to mar the progress of the recent parade, than that other w en n marched to show their strength and ap proval of a cause that is to make for i ivi righteousness and fairness to all? After the recent false charge again-t th-young men of our own State Agri cultural College it is very gratifying to see that they exonerated themselves h> showing up their true colors as gentle men, at least; and in coming to the de fense of not only themselves, but of the ladies w ho represented the great suffrage cause. It is a tremendous reflection on the officers of the law at Washington that even the Boy Scouts were a greater pro tection than themselves, To those who can read between the lines, it is not a very difficult thing to guess from whence | the noting element sprung. It was a well-organized scheme, easily veiled. A question asked a Thuimont suffra ge te since the Washington deinonstra iii n, w'us this: “Why didn't those women pick up stones and knock down some of lho -o who were yeiling ugly remarks at l) er.i? They were a lot of cowards, those suffragettes!” The reply was ‘ Because the suffragettes were ladies, , bent only on demonstrating agoodcau e, and not marching to demonstrate mili tancy—it takes no brains to throw mud.” The question was a straddle with a ven geance! On the one hand he slurs at suffrage, yet. in defense of it, urges the method of firing missiles to protect it. Truly, “In many men there are many minds.” The above “straddle” evidently meant his remark as a “knock-down” argu ment. Our opposers often twit us on the so-called “hot air” of our arguments, but “hot air” is alright if backed up by depth of thought, which is, in itself, in spiring; and inspiration is, at least, ele vating, while thought that is destructive in its expression only keeps itself down on the level of cold storage air; it is heavy and cannot expand in any sense. Heat expands—cold contracts; scoff or laugh “he laughs best who laughs last ” F. M. R. Sec. E. F. L. Thurmont. The Mothers' Favorite. A cough medicine for children should be harmless.
