ARTHUR M. FIELD cu. Sense of Humor Throws Mes senger Boy Out on the Cold, Cold World. Dri.Wi J Martin, Proctor of Davidson College, Will Speak' at Y. M. C. A." That there,ls probably no hard feel ing existing between the messenger boys of the Western union and the Postal telegraph companies because of the fact that they are employed by competing companies. Is proved by the kindly and courteous action ol one of the Postal boys, a day or two ago. In ordering that soda water and other more expensive drinks be sent to the messenger boys at the Western Union offices. He railed up all the houses in that Immediate neighbor hood that sell drinks. It seems, and asked each to send from three to six drinks to the. rival office. For some he ordered Coca-Cola, from othars plain soda water, and from still others more elaborate concoctions.' It was not long, according to reports, until there was a whole string of clerks carrying the drinks to the office. The Western Union people did not know what to make of It and said that nothing of the kind had been or dered; so an investigation was start ed which resulted In finding out who was responsible for the orders. His name Is not given out, however. As things turned out It would prob ably be rather difficult to ascertain on whorft the Joke was played, on the Western Union, the proprietors of the stores, or on the boy; probably the boy, for the manager of the Postal company, Mr. Acres, on learning the identity of the Joker, relieved him of his duties. no li Cancelled Stamps , May Bought to Place on Christ : mas Packages. Be BIG SALE OF SAMPLES BY GLOBE SAMPLE CO. A. tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock will be led by Dr, W. J.- Martin, proc tor of Davidson college. .Dr. Martin's subject will be, "Mankind's Boomer ang," and. his handling of this subject will, no doubt, be of vast interest to the men of the city.; The speaker is well known in Ashevllle as he has appeared here on several previous oc casions, and he has always proved to be one of the most popular speakers that the management of the Y. M. C. A. can . secure. He was scheduled to appear here December 31 but the date was change this week on account of one being cancelled by Dr.. Bovard of Chattanooga,, who was to have. led the service tomorrow, Ope of the best musical programs of the year has also been arranged for this meeting tomorrow. A mixed quartet, composed of Mr. and Mrs. R. Stanley, Goodhart, Mrs. J. M. Burns and Mr. Hammerslough wiU sing, Seek Ye the Lord," and ."No Shadows Yonder," and the soloists for the af ternoon will be Mrs. Goodhart and Miss Pearl Shope. These will render several vocal selections. The boys .or ehestra will furnish the Instrumental music. - A most cordial Invitation Is . ex tended to every man In the city to at tend this meeting whether he Is a member of the association or not and a special invitation is extended to the visiting men. The management be lieves that the meeting will be one of the biggest of the year and It Is de sired that everybody take advantage of this opportunity to hear Dr. Martin; Pormnnent Store of 30 South Strwt Whloli Many Arc Visiting. Main To avoid unnecessary delay and for the convenience of the people, the postofllce department has given the postoftices permission to cancel stamps before they are placed on the Christ mas packages. This will not .only be of great help, to the people. But will facilitate the handling of the pack ages by the postofllce employes, , as heretofore much time has been con sumed In cancelling the stamps. The work had to be dona by hand. By the new arrangement the stamp can be cancelled by machinery "and handed out at the window in lieu of uncan celled stamps, If the buyer asks for them. , . Another ruling that is expected to lessen the congestion at the office dur ing the Christmas holidays Is the per mission of the postofllce department by which the words, "Do not open un til Christmas," may be written on the outBide of packages. Those who wish their presents to reach the recipient on time may send them as long before Christmas) as they wish and they need not be opened. This does not mean, however, that other messages of greet ing can be written on the package. Take your pictures to Brown Book Co. to b framed. Bo EaHlly Made.

Law, PatUa At Only, a Small Audience at Au ditorium, but People Were Pleased. "The Thief," Bernstein's well merit ed drama, was the attraction at the Auditorium last night, and was seen by a small but well pleased audience. 'The Thief is the vehicle in which Kyrle Be Hew, the eminent English actor, who recently died . in Idaho, scored one of his greatest successes. The story that Is so ably told in this play. Is enacted daily, no doubt, by hundreds of women, who seek to win favor in the eyes of their husbands. Tne acting of Edyth Ketch um, as Marlse, Is worthy of special mention, she portraying her part with unusual earnestness. It. Is to be regretted that more people were not present to see the lesson this play so forcibly tells. Sproats MILLINERY ' Ostea Building. ALL TRIMMED '"HATS REDUCED Deals In Dirt. George S.
