For a foreign ship, whether merchant or martini, to enter an Eng llsh port wltbeat veiling topsails or dipping Its aatlonal flag was to court the chances of war, although the profoundest peace existed. Without warning or argument the shore defenses or a man-of-war would send a round of hot across the bows or between the masts of the Insolent'.

Such wasUbe reception accorded by Sir John nawkins In the sixteenth century to the Spanish ad nilral who in time of peace sailed into Portsmouth sound without veiling his topsails or lowering his flag.

"Waal, one day he come ter me lookin' kind o' worried like, and his huir was all ruffled up like he'd been aout in a stiff nor'easter, an' he sez.

Too Much Aid. . The professor of law was quizzing his class. Singling out a somnolent student in the rear of the room, he addressed a question to him. Confused, the student rose and bent his ear ro catch the stage whispers of his friends seated about him. "Well, you ought to be able to answer," snapped the professor, "with a!l the aid you are receiving back there!" "Professor." came the quick reply, "I could, but there's a difference of opinion back here." They Were Vary Grateful. Wilson Barrett once had a lotof workmen redecorating bis private residence, and. thinking to give them a treat, be asked them if after work one evening they would all like Ao have seats to come and see him piny in "The Lights o London" at the Princess. They said they didn't mind if they did. and. being given complimen tary tickets, all went to witness on a Saturday night their employer's production. At the end of the week Barrett's eye caught sight on the pay sheet of an item against each' workman's name, "which read: "Saturday night. Four hours' overtime at Princess' theater, 8 shillings." Weak, but Willing. On a large estate in the Scottish highlands it was the custom for n piper to pTay in front of the house every week day morning to awaken the residents. After an overconvivial Saturday night, however, the piper forgor "BKBE, BBRE. MOS!" the day and began his reveille (can it be played on the pipes?) on Sunday morning. At the first squeal of the pipes the angry master of the house thrust his bead from the bedroom window and cried indignantly: "Here. here, mon! Do you not know the fourth commandment?" "No, sir." replied the weak but willing piper, "but if you'it hie whistle it I'll hie try it, sir." The total lumber products of the United States in the last thirty years has been more than 900,000,000,000 feet.

ACROBATS

COLONIAL VIRGINIA. The Haughty Planters Wert Fierc Foes of Royal Tyranny. In no part of the world were socia distinction more rigidly denned than in colonial Virginia. The founders o! that colony stepped from the brilliant court of Elizabeth into the forests ol Virginia. The lord'proprietor trans ported to his estate a little army of gentlemen and indentured servants, and afterward came the negro slave Each formed a class apart from the others, and almost at once there was created a qunsi system of aris ocracy. The proprietor obligated himself to protect bis tenants from the Indians. Tbey in turn agwd to follow uim to battle, precisely the system Inaugurated by William the Conqueror for the military defense of his realm. His en vironment naturally bred certain hab its of command, fostered a. capacity for directing the efforts of others and imposed a sense of responsibility upon the planter for the lives that were in his keeping. Above all else the. planter jealously guarded his rights as an English freeman. When liberty languished in Eng land the Virginian sturdily resisted ev ery aggression of royal tyrants. One husband, one wife, one home, one king one God this was the planter's creed But he reserved the right to renounce a monarch who violated the ancient compact between king and people. No other people numerically as unimpor tant as tbat group of Virginia settlerhas given to bumanity so many states men. soldiers, orators, patriots and phi losophers. Everybody's Magazine. Baring the Feet at Worship. In India Hindoos and Mussulmanalike wear both sandals and slioes (slip pers) and the latter boots also, but tininvariable rule is to remove them after entering a private house just when stepping on to the mat or carpet on which the visitor takes his scat. They must be cast off. the right boot or shoe first, before the worshiper enters a temple or mosque, and it is still regarded as an absolute profanation to attempt to enter either fully shod. But the domestic habit arose out of its obvious propriety, and the religious ritual of "the shoes of the faithful." now end for centuries past observed throughout Islam, can be demonstrated to have been dictated by. if indeed it be not derived directly from, the universal social etiquette of the ease Chinese Music. The notes of Chinese music read, like the written characters, from right to left, and the intervals of the scale are different from those of the scale adopted by the nations of the west The music is not very harmonious and sounds meaningless and jangling to western ears, but it has a pretty musical cadence that makes it attractive and interesting in spite of its frequent discords.

For Panama-California Exnosition Todav. . (National News Association) San Diego, Cal., July 19. Ground was broken for the Panama-California j Exposition early this afternoon, and that important event in San Diego"s history was celebrated with unusually elaborate ceremonies in Balbo Park. The ceremonies began when a telegraphic signal was flashed across the continent by President Taft. Earlier in the day there were religious services in the park, with the celebration of pontifical high mass by Bishop Conaty. The celebration is planned to continue through the remainder of the week and will include floral pageants, water sports and an industrial and civic parade. At Local Theaters Next Week. Starting next Mo'nday night the Mae LaPorte Stock Company, headed by Miss Mae LaPorte herself, will open a week's engaement at the Gennett theater. It is needless going into details regarding this company as most every theater goer in Richmond has either seen or heard of the Famous LaPorte Stock Company. The play selected for the opening "Just Plain Mary" is one of the feature plays of their repertoire and one which Miss LaPorte and the balance of the company will be seen at their best. The scenes are laid around the childhood home of Miss LaPorte at Oxford, Conn. Each and every character portrayed in this bill were or are living inhabitants of this town. Plenty of good vaudeville will be introduced between the acts. Daily ten cent matinees starting Tuesday. Evening prices ten, twenty and thirty cents. Ladies will be admitted free Monday night as is the usual custom, providing they are reserved before six p. m. Monday. The sale of seats for the opening night will start Saturday morning at ten o'clock at the theater box office. Murray. The bill offered at the Murray this week is an exceptionally fine one, full of singing, dancing and refined comedy. Dillae and Geyer start the ball of fun rolling with their comedy sketch, "The Fairies Picnic." The sketch abounds with comedy that is real comedy, good singing, and some dancing. Dillae with his comedy make up and his song are a scream. Jack Miller is another one who has helped to make this show one of the best seen here for some time. He has some very funny songs and a whole lot of new jokes that have been used here. Ralton & LaTour present some very good musical numbers on the clarionet and saxaphone. Their singing also is very much above the standard. At the opening of the act the young lady, a winsome young lady, appears in a hobble gown, one that is very much hobble which causes much favorable comment from theaudience. But of all the acts that have been presented here lately probably none of them have made such a hit as have the Bimbos, the comedy acrobats. All of their feats are difficult but the most hazardous "of all is the one in which the male member of. the team sways back and forth from a distance of probably sixteen or eighteen feet and then allows the table upon which he is standing to fall alighting on his feet and turning a complete somersault. Wayside -Fruit Trees. Fruit trees are 'planted by the roadside in several-parts of Germany, but passersby ar not permitted to help themselves to the fruit.

SO DECEPTIVE

Many Richmond People Fail to Realize the Seriousness. Backache is so deceptive. It comes and goes keeps you guesteing. Learn the cause then cure it. Nine times out of ten it comes from the kidneys. That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure it. Cure every Wdney ill from backahe to diabetes. Here's a Richmond case to prove it: John Morris. 433H Main St.. Richmond, Ind., says: For several years I suffered from backache, the attacks being so severe at times that I could hardly straighten. Irregular passages of the kidney secretions plainly showed that my kidneys were disordered and I finally decided to try a kidney remedy. In the spring of 190S, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me after other preparations had failed. At that time I told cf my experience in a public statement and now I gladly re-endorse the remedy. I have had only one occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since my first trial and I am glad to say that the results were as satisfactory as before." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

LABOR UNIONS MEET Wisconsin Federation Assembles at LaCrosse.

(National News Association) La Crosse, Wis., July 19. Representatives of many trades unions throughout the state were assembled in this city today, when the Wisconsin branch of the American Federation of Labor began its annual convention. The convention will continue its sessions until all its business is concluded, which will probably be the end of the week. The State federation is much elated over the success of its efforts in securing the passage of the workingmen's compensation act and other measures of importance to the labor classes by the recent legislature. Circus &arcbsck Rider. The career of a fcareback rider with a circus is limited Jo about tea years. It is short not; o nijeh because these men and woniea .) their agility, but because they leset. their nerve. The tension and application are so strained and marked that it is only a few riders who are able to perform their startling feats more than a decade. Recklessness and daring die when youth ripens into age, and as all riders, as a rule, marry young added responsibilities, coupled with a lively sense of danger, cause them to retire or else seek some less strenuous life. These riders are weil paid, the majority of them commanding from $150 to $250 a week. Jamestown Post.
