0 page a THE PUBLIC LEDGER RESCUE OF PRINCESS WINSOME. Given By Young Girls For Benefit of Red Cross. The lawn of Mrs. B .K. Lassiter with the attractive lattice fence bank ed with evergreens and flowers, for a background, made an ideal sett ing for a delightful little paly given by th young girls on Thursday ev ening; July 5, for the benefit of the Red Cross Society. The title of the play was "The Res cue of the Princess Winsome," and in the management, the delineation of characters, and in the selection of the costum'es, the girls displayed wonderful talent. In the opening scene, Miss Eliza beth Niles, as the witch, stirred in her caldron the mixture given by Ogie, Miss Ammia Landis, which would turn the Princess Winsome's brother into a dog. The Princess and her brother were brought in and confined in the tower. . With the dim lights and somber costumes this scene was well por-. trayed. As the witch and Ogie disappeared, Miss Daisy Cooper, as the King, and Miss Josephine Ballou as the Queen, were seen hunting for their children. They were met t by the god mother, Miss Ida Kerr Taylor, who told them j of their plight and promised that she would help them to escape. Then followed one of the most at tractive and beautiful of all the scenes, Miss Bettsy Ballou, as a true knight came gracefully riding in and upon dismounting told the king and queen that by finding the South wind's silver flute he could summon j the fairies and rescue the Princess Winsome. Miss Mary Currin Owen took the part of the Princess Winsome and in a long glowing robe of white satin with silver lace and her lovely golden hair encircled with bands of pearls, she reminded one of a little princess indeed. ODD FACTS Iron can be made rust-resisting by heating it red hot and brushing it with linseed oil. An entire tray of 66 eggs can be examined at once by a new rapid can dling device. Deposits of coal estimated to con tain 180,000,000 tons have been dis covered in Iceland. 'Paper coffins are a French inven tion, cheapness and lightness being their chief advantages. LEGAL ADS To teach rifle shooting a Japanese has invented a crossbow with rifle stock, trigger and sights. As first hose is drawn from a rec ently patented wall cabinet it opens a valve and turns on the water. For painting or oiling floors a New York inventor has patented a fountain brush mounted on small wheels. . Both the fruit, which resembles grapes, and the flowers of a tree in Brazil grow directly from the bark. A western trapper has arranged an electric system which lights a small electric bulb when a tray is sprung, enabling him to locate it in the dark ness and shoot the animal. Are You One of Them There are a great many people who would be very much benefitted by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak or disordered stomach. Are ! you one of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Baldwinsville, N. Y., relates her ex perience in the use of these tablets: "I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months ago, and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. I c thta first dose Her godmother presented Her with j wonderfully ,and I kept on taking them until I was cured. These tablets do not relieve pain, but after the pain has been relieved may prevent its recurrence. adv a spinning wheel and golden thread with which to work the magic charm of changing her brother back to his real self and to bring her lov er to her rescue. While spinning away with the dog by her side she was visited by dainty little fairy messengers from her lov er. The messengers were: Daisy, Patty Lewis; Rose, Julia Jeffries; Pansy, Sarah Hall; Forget-me-not, Mary Hall. In the last scene the knight having found the South Wind's silver flute, rode in under the tower in which the Princess was held and from all directions the little fairies came skipping and singing. The witch and Ogie rushed in but the fairy queen, Francis Brown ap peared and had the fairies bind them with the golden cord. The knight with drawn sword, de manded of Ogie the key that would unlock the tower, just as the princess and her brother were rescued the King and Queen appeared and there was a happy greeting. The brother lost the form of the dog, and the Princess and her knight received the King's blessings. Military Instructions at Oak Ridge Institute. During the coming year military instructions will b e offered at Oak Ridge Institute to all students desir ing it. To this end a teacher who has had army training has been em ployed. Military instructions, how ever," will not be compulsory. The only uniform required will be the regulation khaki outfit, viz; hat shirt, pants, laggins. This departure is in response to the request of many parents for mil itary training for their- sons. There will be no extra charge for it. Cabinet Troubles. (Philadelphia Record.) Further Cabinet troubles are im pending in Austria-Hungary, where the influence of the Empress with the Emperor is reported , to be enlist ed in becan be effected without bring ing a German Army that is safe, ed which probably means whenever it can be effected without bringing a German Army down to Vienna. The Prime Minister and the the Foreign Secretary are not expected to hold their offices much longer. The trouble is to get any support for a war program that is hostile to the majority of the inhabitants of the Empire and that is becoming repug nant even to the Germans and May gars of the Dual Monarchy. What the Agent Costs. (Country Gentleman) R. R. Gibson, a farmer and mem ber of the agricultural council of Lane county, Oregon, was telling re cently what the county agent had cost him and what he had got out of his services: "I pay about $150 taxes , and I fig ure that the county agent last year cost me just nineteen and one-half cents. In figuring the benefit that I have received from the office, I gave the agent credit for the extra profit that I made on the first beef that I sold through the public mar ket. He was responsible for the starting of the market, so I gave him credit on just one of the animals that I sold. "My sheep were dying, and Mr. Robb came out and found that they had septicemia, and got some vaccine and vaccinated the flock. "No more of them died and so I gave Mr. Robb credit for just one sheep, although I might have lost the whole bunch without his help. "Mr; Robb told me to take my goats out of the swammpy pastures or they would probably get leeches. They were nice and fat and I didn't think it would hurt them if I left them there; but they got leeches, all right, and some of them died. I didn't give Mr. Robb any credit for that, al though his advice was worth some thing. "He told me how to , avoid wire worms in my corn by growing it after a crop on which the wireworms don't work. I didn't give him any credit for that. In all my figuring I gave him just as little credit as I possibly could, and I find that he has made me enough money on this basis to pay my part of the tax for his office for two hundred years." Will Not Put Up With It. (Houston Post) It looks very much as if Tom Hard wick and Tom Watson of Georgia have determined to join the kaiser. At least, they are constituting of themselves a pair of discordant and unhelpful flawpickers, and Georgia is not going to put up with much of their chin music. A Change of Scenery. (Hickory Record) No. 21, which formerly arrived here at 4:31, now reaches Hickory at 4:45, the later arrival being due to the fact that the train leaves the main line at Greensboro and goes by Winston-Salem to Barber and then to Asheville by way of Statesville and Hickory. This train will connect with the Carolina special at Ashe ville. The trip from Goldsboro or Raleigh will require a few minutes more time, but it will afford passen gers an opportunity -of viewing some different scenery. No 22 will stop here fifteen minutes for dinner, which is not quite long enough for a Catawba dinner. To Hamburg, Anyway. (Savannah News) It might be a good idea to have those convoys go right on to Berlin with our soldiers. ( EXECUTION SALE OF LAND.
