Woodstock Sentinel: Edward Long has recovered from his severe siege- of illness from pnenmonia and is again able to look after the work on the farm. Mr. Long has inst completed the build­ ing of a new house and barn on his half of the Long farm and is planning many other improvements for the coming Unintentional Sabbath Breaking. In the early days of New England II was the custom to keep the Sabbath from sundown Saturday night until the same hour on Sunday. That this practice was attended by pitfalls Is shown by an incident told In "The Pa­ pers of the Connecticut Valley Histor­ ical Society:" There lived in Ryefield a thrifty dame, an enterprising, driving woman and a notable housewife. The good wo­ man was not willing to lose Sunday evenings out of her catalogue of house­ work. but she was pious withal ami strictly kept the day to the sunset limit. As soon as the sun was fairly below the horizon she would begin her washing and get her clothes ready for drying bright and early on Mondny morning. One cloudy Sunday she, supposing the day was ended, changed her Sun­ day gown, rolled up her sleeves and went to work. As she was scrubbing away in the kitchen, her face toward the west window, the clouds suddenly broke, and the great round sun shone in full on the poor Sabbath breaker at work. She ga\se one cry of amazement and horror and fled the kitchen. After that sinful day she never be­ gan her work on Sunday evening. Be well; be strong Vou cannot if your bowels are constipated.

If press notices and large box receipts have anything to do with the success of an attraction, "The Fighting Parson" surely will get the prize. Ever since its first performance, press notices have been showered upon it and the box office receipts have never been reached by an­ other attraction p'aving in the popular priced houses. W. F. Mann, producer of "The Fighting Parson," has arranged for his newest success to appear at the Central opera house on Thursday even­ ing, Jan. 14. During the seven years and a half that Roosevelt has been president there has been a net surplus of nearly $100,- 000,000 of receipts over expenditures, a reductiou of interest ^ bearing debts by $90,000,000, in spite of the extraordinary expense of the Panama canal, and saving of nearly $9,000,000, on the annual interest charge. This is an ex ceedingly satisfactory showing, espe cially in view of the fact that during this period the nation has never hesi tated to undertake any expenditure that it regarded as necessary. There have been no new taxes and no increase of taxes. On the contrary,.some taxes have been taken off; there lias been reduction of taxation. W. F. Mann, the producer of "The Fighting Parson," from the pen of Lem B. Parker, offers something out of the usual run of melodrama. The play deals with the turbulent strife of a young minister trying to better the con­ ditions of the foreign element in the slum district* of our large cities. The ignorance, poverty and prejudices he encounters would discourage a less de­ termined man and compel him to hunt pastures less strenuous, but opposition seems only to arouse this young minister to greater efforts. John A. Preston has been secured to create and play the role of "The Fighting Parson," to be seen here at the Central Opera house on Thursday, Jan. 14. Farm For Rent, C*ah or Share*.

KITTLE, Keinpton, III, Manure §pr«ad*rs at W», Lincoln's Rules. On one occasion President Lincoln on entering the telegraph office of the war department, writes'Mr. Bates in "Lincoln In the Telegraph Office." was heard to remark to Secretary Seward. By jlngs, governor, we are here at last!" Turning to him in a reproving manner, Mr. Seward said, "Mr. Presi­ dent, where did you learn that inele­ gant expression?" Without replying to the secretary, Lincoln addressed the telegraph operators, saying: "Young gentlemen, excuse me for swearing before you. 'By jlngs* is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a 'by' before it was swearing." One day Secretary Seward, who was not renowned as a joker, said he had been told that a short time before on a street crossing Lincoln had been seen to turn out in the mud to give a colored woman a chance to pass. 'Yes," said Lincoln, "it has been a rale of my life that if people would not turn out for me I would turn out for them. Then you avoid collisions." What Ho Meant. Park row at 1 a. m. and a policeman and a sailor in conversation. 'Keyside, keyside!" said the sailor. " 'Ow will Hi reach the bloomln' key- side?" 'G'wan wid ye. D'ye think I'm a locksmith, that I know about yer old key and its side? There's one key and lock I'll be after givin' ye, and that's to a cell. Move on now." 'Keyside! Hi said keyside as plain as Hi could, blime!" Just then a high brow who had been to the postofflce buying stamps so that his rejected contributions would come back to him stepped up. 'The man wants the keyside, what­ ever that is, and I dunna," said the po­ liceman. "I believe he's looney and Til run him in." "He wants the quayside--the docks," said the high brow as he directed the man to the water front, while the po­ liceman said: "Well, I'll be blowed!"--New York Press. A 8lap at Mother. Dinner was done, and the family was assembled in the sitting room. Mother had taken up the evening paper and was reading an account of how a high­ wayman had been operating in the sub­ urbs. Father was down on his hands and knees trying to act like a horse while little Willie drove him around the floor. "Papa," finally remarked the good lady, glancing toward her husband, "here is a story about another man who was waylaid. Do these holdups always stop you with a pistol and then go through your clothes?" "Oh, no." grlnfully replied father, arising from the floor. "Sometimes they wait until you hang your clothes over the back of a chair and go to sleep."--Philadelphia Bulletin. Nevertheless He Got Her. "You say my daughter loves yon 7" questioned the old man. "I'm sure of it," replied the young man. "Well, well," returned the old man, looking the young man over critically. "There's no accounting for tastes, is there?" And somehow, although the young man knew that he ought to be happy over the possession of the girl, he couldn't help scowling and speculating on that remark of the old man's.

There is a Brooklyn woman who pos­ sesses a servant who is a model in all respects save one--in that she is none too truthful. Lately the mistress has been using all her eloquence to make Nora see the error of deceitfulness.

If more such plays as "The Fighting Parson" were offered for public approv­ al there would be more consideration given the melodramatic field than has been given in the past. While the play is full 'of comedy, sensation and me- chsnical stage effects, it is also uplift­ ing in its moral and spiritual teachings. The leading character of the play is that of a young minister who has adopt­ ed modern methods in his efforts to point out the right paths to those who inhabit the slum districts of our great cities. The parson is liberal and broad minded in his views and with his ath­ letic qualifications combined with hiH natural friendliness to the down trodden of mankind, the results of his work are most marvelous. "The Fighting Par­ son" will pl*y a» engagement of one night at the Central opera honpn Thurs­ day, Jan. 14- w- F- Mann, the pro ducer, has mounted the play in a most sumptuous manner and has surtounded John A Preston with a most suitable cast, which includes Lida Hall in the principal comedy role.
