her character, had matiy lovable Qual
ities. 'The story is taken frpm a play
by Victor Hugo, author of the great
"Lies Mlserables," -andv contains no mo
ment ;that is not intensely emotional.
Lucretia Borgia, according to the
.f-tory, had avenged herself for- the
murder of tier1 brother, by torturing to
S death, five conspirators, and as a" con
I sequence, five young kinsmen of these
I victims of the typica justice of the
period, swore to bring about the down
fall of Lucretia. For a reason which
none ! but she understands, Lucretia
taker a deep' interest in Gennaro, a
friend of then five youths who have:
Kworn the oath of ' vengeance. She , if
secretly meets Gennaro, keeping her
identity a mystery; but the five find
thein together, and despite her jpleas,
denounce her. Gennaro, who has be
guh to like Lucretia, turns from her in
horror. Meanwhile the suspicions of
Lucretia's Jmsband, the Duke of Fer-
; rara,' have -been aroused, and he be-
lievcs Gennaro to be Lucretia's lover.
Lucretia saves him from the Duke's
wrath anil tells him to fly from Fer
rara. Then she arranges a terrible
vengeance to be visited upon the
young "men "who insulted her and
turned Gennaro's affection to loath
ing. The manner in- which Gennaro
himself becomes involved jh her plot
brings the story to a conclusion
which is sensational, in the highest
sense of the word.

..Wilmington Welcomes Wood.
When General Wood came into town,
The girls are dressed the finest,
You never saw the like;
That "have ever hit the pike.
The men put on their Sunday clothes
And lined up on the street;
And Bill just whispered to his wife
"Now Polly you keep sweet."
; ; I
The drums were all a-beating loud,
The flags a-floating free;
And it's glory, hallelujah!
From the mountains to the sea.
Oh!, we gave Len Wood a welcome,
Such as we are proud to own;
For we feel that he is greater
TJian a monarch on the throne.
His name has been on every tongue,
Since years and years ago;
When he, a young man in his prime,
Caught old Geronimo.
At Harbor Island in the sound,
A host two thousand strong;
Sent up a mighty, deafening din,
That lasted loud and long.
In marched the Major General
To music's sweetest strains;
While red blood, patriotic,
Was surging through his veins.
(
In plain and forceful language,
That suited age and youth;
He laid before the people,,
The plain, unvarnished truth.
And the need of preparation,
Was foremost in his theme;
And that the war in Europe,
Is no dozing, idler's dream.
The grand, old hero made it plain
To all who listened there;
That every effort would be vain,
If we did not prepare.
To dush raw troops into a fight,
When they have not been trained;
Is little less'in this man's sight,
Than murder unrestrained.
He knows the catalogue of war
And all its daring tricks;
Just like the "Silent Boatman" knows,
The turbid river Styx.

MONDAY
At times applause was deafening,
Which provide the speech was good;
And everybody praised the words,
Of Major-General Wood.
His name shall be a household word,
While heroes are extolled;
And all his noble, daring deeds,
Shall history unfold.
I have no "particular apologies to
offer for afflicting the auditory nerves
Of the reading public with the lines
written above, but James fcarkin
Pearson, uttered my sentiments when
he wrote, .the", following stanza.
"They, mayj not be perfect in measure,'
The rhyming may often be rough;
.But still JL have found it a pleasure
To make them and -that Is enough."
' r I will state to amateur writers (like
myself) that I am 'glad that no law
has . ever 'been -enacted- compelling the
public to' read such.jdoggerel as T am
jprcne' to Write and "so if -you want :.o

iust crack your whip and I assure you
that your words shall 'hof be noticed.
