Good Attraction Gertrude Hoffman, America' most versitile artist, will be the extraordina ry attraction at the Ben Ali, Lexington, Tuesday, Nov. 25. Miss Hoffman is appearing this sea ton at the head of her own revue, in 12 scenes and with a company of 75. As a special feature she has Ching Ling Foo. the great Chinese magician, and hit company of 14 Chinese artists. Miss Hoffman as an artist needs no introduc lion anywhere. Here revue this year, however, is entirely new and far more elaborate than anything she has attempt ed before. She has devised new dances two of them, "Zobelde'f Dream" and ' Blue Danube," being particularly spec tacular. Besides, she has many new im personations to add to her popular imi tations of Eddie Foy. George M. Cohan. Anna Held, Harry Lauder, Eva Tanj,- uay, Ethel Barry more and others who are well known to theatre-goers. And she has a company of the prettiest girls that couldbe found in New York to sup port her.

KY. a ! a Utfl DEMOCRATIC OLD SEA DOG According to Dewey, Admiral ,Farra- gut Was by No Mean a Strict Disciplinarian. Admiral Farragufs methods were al ways simple. There was a saying that bis principal place for filing papers was his coat pocket Generally be wrote hie orders himself, perhaps with his knee or the ship's rail as a rest Admiral Dewey In his autobiography recalls that one day when Farragut was writing he looked up and said: "Now, how in the devil do you spell Appalachicola? Some of these edu cated young fellows from Annapolis must know. " Dewey adds: "A man who had such an important command could hardly have been more demo-' cratlc. Pne night I had given orders for a thorough cleaning of the ship the next morning. I was awake early, for it was stifling hot Five o'clock, came and I heard no sound of the holy stones on the deck. "So I went above to find out why my orders were not obeyed and my frame of mind for the moment was entirely that of the disciplinarian. There was no activity at all on deck. I looked around for the officer of the deck. He was an old New England whaler, brown as a buccaneer, who had enlisted for the war from the mer chant service. I recollect that he wore small gold rings in his ears, a custom with some of the old-fashioned mer chant sailors who had traveled the world over. I found him seated up in the hammock netting wher.e it was cool, with Farragut at his Bide. "Why aren't you cleaning ship? I asked. 'I think I am to blame.' said Farragut with his pleasant smile. 'We two veterans have been swapping yarns about sailing-ehip days.' The old whaler did not see how be could leave Farragut when Farragut wanted to talk and inwardly, perhaps, he did not fail to enjoy his position as superior to the young executive, officer's re primands." 'FATHER' AND 'MOTHER' BEST No Other Names for Parents Carry the Same Deep Meaning of Reverent Love. "Father" and "mother" are difficult words to Improve upon when one thinks of the associations they convey, and the dignity of their meaning, re marks London Answers. Many, however, have been the off shoots of these appellations; "Papa" and "mamma" have been in use in England for at least three centuries, and it is generally accepted that they are of Italian origin, as Dante uses the word "mamma" in the Purgatorlo. Among middle class folk dad or "daddy" is a favorite nickname. "Dad is of pure Welsh extraction, and is de rived from, or ie a corruption of, the word "tad." "Pater and "mater" make their ap pearance when students are in the throes of Latin grammar. "Poppa" and "momma" have appealed to the young American. None of these nicknames, or terms of endearment can, however, approach the beautiful Anglo-Saxon definition of parents "father" and "mother," and It is these terms that one clings to when childhood's days are over.. Jewel In a Serpent's Head. We none of us place much credence In Shakespeare's toad, which Ugly and venomous. Wears yet a precious Jewel In Its head. But the natives of India have a firm belief that a certain variety of snake which they call sheen nag, forms a pre cious stone within its head after it has attained the ripe old age of 1,000 years. This jewel has the reputation of draw ing forth the most deadly venom of any other snakebite, if applied at once to the wound. A certain Parsee gen tleman is supposed to possess one of these jewels at the present time. - This gentleman in his early man hood happened upon a snake, which he killed. Afterward he found the Jewel in its head, and he is said with its aid to have saved several lives. The stone is said to possess a thin crescent-shaped fiber which moves in the center continuously. Many of the native princes of India have offered fabulous sums for this jewel, but the owner refuses to part with it Busman's Holiday. -Recently I came across a really happy omnibus conductor, who knew me by sight, and remarked that it had been a splendid day. He had almost a whole day off, and looked jolly. What had he done? Why, what he al ways does when on a day off! I bad never really believed in the phrase, "The busman's holiday." It's true. For that man always gets on the top of another man's bus and has a good long ride into the country and back. It cured him of insomnia, he said. Working days mean going to bed at all kinds of hours, and a conductor Is often too tired to get to sleep at will. But a day off with no tickets to punch and ou can sleep till six tomorrow! London Chronicle. Comparison With Cave Man. Everything considered, it is possible that the cave-man had an advantage over us. For though his words were few In number he had few Ideaa to voice, few thoughts to express, few ac tivities to advance, aiid these were all of such a nature that his grunt was encyclopaedic in Its ability to explain. On the other hand, life is now so com plex that with all oar words, inflec tions, accents, mimicry, postures and gestures we are often unable to make our meaning perfectly clear. Missionary Drowns in Africa. Drowned while swimming the Locola river in Africa, where he was recently sent as a missionary, v was the fate of Rev.

One of the most embarrassing situa tions in which I was ever placed was caused by a niece of pine, whose father was a clergyman and whom I took to church for the first time. She did not in the least know what her father did, and for a long time did not observe him. But, after sitting quietly beside me for some time, hardly daring to raise her eyes, because I told her she must be quiet or she would not go church again, she suddenly, in the middle of the sermon, looked up and saw him, and screamed: "Auntie, look, there's daddy up there. And what ever Is he yelling about? " Which reminds me of two little nephews of mine who were taken to a churchyard by a very old and pious aunt She, thinking to Impress the sur roundings en them, said: "You know. Jack and Fred, it Is only the body that lies here. Now, what part of him goes to heaven?" "His head, I suppose." There are probably many mothers who have had cause to smile at the quaint additions which their children at times have made to their prayers. A little girl friend of mine was once taken to a ventriloquist entertainment, which impressed her very much. While saying her prayers that night she asked God to look after all her broth ers and sisters and make her a good girl. Then there was a pause, and one heard, sotto voce, "All right" Strand Magazine. POI EATING AS A FINE ART Novice Can Never Hope to Do It Like the Native Hawaiian, It Is Asserted. Pol Is the national dish of the Ha- waiians, and a poi supper Is an event long to be remembered by foreigners admitted to participation therein. Pol is made from taro, a big, coarse, dark- ckinned vegetable, grown under water, the size and shape of a large sweet po tato. The taro Is pounded until It be comes a coarse, moist mass, and is then left to ferment When poi Is served each guest bathes and dries the right hand, and then proceeds to dip the index finger of that hand into the mass. There la quite a knack in the operation, and It is always necessary to instruct the novice that there is absolutely no need for one to move his arm, but sim ply the wrist One removes his finger at the same time that his neighbor does. On the finger of the skillful operator there will be a pear-shaped ball of poi, but the clumsy one's fingers will simply be thinly veneered with the substance. Then, if the stranger ask what was the matter with his movement, he will be told that he held his finger too straight He must crook it a little, and turn his hand, not too fast, with a wrist movement only. Harper's Weekly. . There Are Wars and War. As one glances over the. pages of history, one finds wars, it is true, which are blots upon the records of man; but one also finds wars without which the world would have been in comparably the poorer that we could never have done without them. And one also perceives to his astonish ment if he is a "practical man," that the wars which have been gigantic blunders and crimes have all been wars for the attainment of practical ends, like territory, or markets, or wealth, while the wars which' the world could not have done without have all been wars for abstract prin ciples, for beliefs, for religions, for mad dreams and seemingly impossible hopes. The world could well spare the conquests of Napoleon, because the wars were merely for Napoleon; but the world could not spare the martial conflicts surrounding and realizing the French revolution, because it was a war for those abstract and sensible absurdities, liberty, equality and fra ternity. We could well spare the Mexican war, which was a fight for territory, but we could not at all get along without the Civil war, which was a war for man. The Atlantic No Grammar for Her. In a Fort Scott school the teachers gave orders for all pupils to buy a cer tain kind of grammar, and bring the book to the class the next day. When school started one little girl walked to the front of the room and carefully laid a note on the teacher's desk. She picked it "up, rather surprised, but she was more surprised when she read the following note: "I do not desire that mattie shall lngage in grammar, as I prefer her to lngage in more useful studies, and can learn her speak and write proper myself. I have been through two grammars, and can't say they did me no good. I prefer mattie to lngage in German or drawln' and vockal muslch on the plana" Fort Scott Tribune. Gfve the Frail Onea a Chance.

A Consumptive Cough. A cough that bothers you continually is one of the danger signals whichwarns of consumption. Dr. King s New Dis covery stop the cough, loosen the chest, banish fever and let you sleep peacefully. The first dose checks the symptoms and gives prompt relief. Mrs. A. F. Herts, of Glen Ellyn, Iowa, writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery cured a stubborn cough after six weeks' doctoring failed to help" Try it, as it will do the same for you. HUMOR OF FOR AND AGAINST BEARDS Public Opinion Always Has Been Sharply Divided on Subject of Face Covering. We need not go so far back as-the eighteenth century to find Englishmen who held that shaving was "agen God and nature." In the nineteenth, James Ward. R. A. in a "Defense or the Beard," set forth eighteen rea sons for retaining it mainly Scriptur al, reinforced by artistic considera tions. "What would a Jupiter be without a beard? Who would counte nance the idea of a shaved Christ?" As late as 1860 Theologos published a treatise entitled, "Shaving; a Breach of the Sabbath and a Hindrance to the Spread of the Gospel." One of his points was that Providence had mani festly designed the beard as a pro tection for the throat and chest But what about the woman's throat? Nowhere was there more prejudice centuries ago against beards than at the Inns of court The "black books" of the Inns tell us how offenders wero fined for wearing beards, and some times were even compulsorily shaved by order of court And the prejudice against the bearded barrister still lin gers. Vice-Chancellor Bacon carried his dislike to bearded or mustached barristers so far that he always re fused to hear them. Even now there are very few leading counsel with beards, and I can remember only one unsheved barrister of the greatest eminence, the late Judah Philip Benja min, Q. C. silver-tongued Benjamin, who wore a mustache and a goatee. London Chronicle. CHANGE MADE BY CENTURIES Interesting Comparison Between Pres ent Day and Time of Compilation of Domesday Book. The famous Domesday book of Wil liam the Conqueror, which he ordered when he had conquered England, was not only an inventory of the estates. but a very careful valuation. This an cient eurvey was strikingly like the valuations of today, the differences arising out of the different industrial conditions to be met It included a count of acres, classified as wood, pas ture, and meadow land; of mills, fish ponds and fisheries;; of plows, hides, cattle and slaves. The land wae valued as at the time of Edward, again as when granted by the conqueror, and again as at the time of the survey. But if we set our selves in fancy to that early task, we see st once how the industrial condi tions to be dealt with at that time simplified the domesday valuation to very little more than an enumeration. Acres differed little, excepe In their power to yield crops; the social incre ment of value was almost negligible. Today we have vast aggregates of property brought together and devoted a whole to single uses. Except as an aggregate and tor tne particular use which the property as a whole lerves, the several parts have relative ly little value. Engineer Magazine. Last Stand of the Simple Life. The south for years was rich hunt ing ground for the lover of the pictur esque, but changes both numerous and rapid have occurred there in recent years. The old negro types of the cotton fields are, no more. The log cabins, the pine groves, even the state ly plantation mansions, recalling the flowery days "befo' de wah," are pass ing away. Fortunately for those who enjoy seeing life as it is lived where there is a real attachment to the soil, the French section of Canada is left as. Here along the lower St Law rence river one may find conditions exactly as they were a century ago. Here the "one-hoss shay," the pride of colonial days, Is making its last stand. In the fields women may be seen cutting grain with sickles then which there is no implement more primitive. The people of the ham lets live and work as did their great- grandparents.

Bird Made Its Trap by Eating. A bard ban, combined with a hearty appetite, made a trap that caught an English sparrow not long ago in Washington. The sparrow found the bun on the White House grounds and liked it so well that it ate Its way in one side and out of the other. By the time it had eaten halfway through the bun, the bird had swelled up so much that it could not back out and evident ly concluded that the only thing to do was to eat its way out the other side. The sparrow had succeeded in gorg ing itself enough to get its head out when a park policeman found It But its appetite was not gone. When the bun was broken open, it fluttered about for a moment and then flew away to Join its friends in a feast of peanut crumbs stolen from the squir rels, Popular Mechanics.
