other moral symbolize the death of a vast majority of mankind. To what are the vices of a city attributable? To the absence of fresh air, sunshine, green grass great wide, pure breathing spaces, pure water, natural sports and natural recreation! Resolved into its final elements, every vice of a city ran be charged to the lack of natural surroundings and the multiplicity of artificial, man-made environments.

One honest John Tompkins, a hedger and ditcher,

Although he was poor, did not want to be richer; For all such vain wishes in him were prevented By a fortunate habit of being contented. Though cold was the weather or drear was the food, John never was found in a murmuring mood; For this he was constantly heard to declare What he could not prevent he would cheerfully bear.

"For why should I grumble and murmur?" he said.

"If I cannot get meat I can surely get bread,

NO COMPLAINTS FROM WOODY, Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

If Henry Lane Wilson had with Woodrow as he did with

of this city of the necessity of providing for a permanent exhibition hall, which will become all the more imperative with the growth of the Festival each year. One of the new features of this year's festival will be the "Made in Richmond" industrial exhibition. As there is no building in the city which can house such a display the committee in charge of this work must place it under canvas.

mond if it had a large display building where such exhibitions could be held, where the farmers and stock raisers of Wayne and neighboring Indiana and Ohio counties could display their fruits, grains, vegetables ard livestock. Probably the day will come when a movement is launched to build such a structure by popular subscription. Its maintenance could undoubtedly be provided by renting all or a part of it to the city as a model market house. Four Wayne county farmers have informed a member of the Palladium Staff that if a movement for providing a display building is ever started in Richmond they will each make liberal

contributions to the fund. They say that many

other farmers would gladly Join in such a project for it would be as beneficial to the farmers as to the business men of Richmond.

SAVING GRACE OF THE COUNTRY I r ; Philadelphia Times. The failure of Hercules to overcome Antaeus by throwing that ciant to earth was not a myth. It was a typical experience of all men of all ages. The man who lives close to nature, obeys her simple rules, accepts her pure example and holds communion with her undefiled soul Is bound to be clean limbed, high minded and pure hearted.

We are an Antaen race; earth is the natural mother boasts of Perpetual sunshine

of us, and orphaned, indeed, is he who is denied the privilege of such simple parentage. God made the country and man made the city, and ever since man's handiwork has been the center and homing place of the forces of civilization on that make for civilization's destruction, while God's creation has been called upon to furnish the new blood, new ideals and new conscience that has made for man's uplift and saved him from the fate of his own creation. The voice of the city is expressed in the statement of Drew Camlnetti, of California, about to be sentenced to pay the penalty of practicing white slavery: The city ruined me. I should have stayed out in the open punching cattle; out in the open where I was contented. I'm a man with lots of energy. I've got to be tired at night. My muscles must ache. Otherwise well, you see where the artificial life of the city has landed me. I never wanted to go to Sacramento. I often wanted to leave after I did go. But my father always persuaded me to stay. I was restless. I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to stay in the house. I'm sick of cities. I'm going back to where I can sleep nights. The cry of Drew Camlnetti Is the cry of that mankind that Is imprisoned in the cities, the cry of mankind that .is denied communion with nature. Hercules found that every time he threw Antaeus to the ground the giant Son of Earth gained strength. It was only after the mythological hero lifted Antaeus off the ground antl kept him from contact with earth, that he was able to overcome the giant. Undoubtedly Drew Camlnetti has properly diagnosed his miserable failure. He should have stayed out in the open, where he was content and could sleep nights. The artificial life of the city ruined him; it broke down his physical fiber; it made him restless; it undermined his resistance; it appealed to the worst in him. Like Antaeus, he was conquered only after he was denied contact with those virile, life-giving elements that one finds only close to the grass roots. It is so everywhere. Antaeus and Drew Caminetti are separated by centuries of time and the barrier that rears Itself between mythology and sordid fact, but both are

MILLIONAIRES AT LARGE. Detroit Free Press. A census of Chicago millionaires is being taken and already 246 have been discovered. Pittsburg sometimes has that many standing around the stage door at one time.

During a similar period last year the number was 24,343. All of which indicates t8at business is picking up.

INSPIRATION; THAT IS, HARD WORK. St. Paul Dispatch. There is a lot of poppycock about this thing we call "inspiration." Men do not sit down In a trance and arise to find themselves equipped with genius. Achievement means toil and struggle and continuous effort to master small things that eventually shall contribute to the perfect whole.

POSTSCRIPT Springfield Republican. The Century Magazine, in an advertisement, makes a common but for once conspicuous error, when it publishes in heavy black type the abbreviation P. S. The correct form is PS. One of the rules for compositors at the university press, Oxford, reads: "Print PS. (not P. S.) for postscript or postscriptum."

JUDGING YOURSELF. No man or woman yet in all the world's history made a success of a lifework unless he or she felt that it was good, that it was worth doing. The painter cannot lay on his pigment properly unless he feels that the canvas will stir the world to admiration or rouse it to higher feelings. The sculptor cannot hew his marble; the architect cannot draw his plans. The writer cannot choose his words and frame his sentences unless he feels that the thing he Is writing will find lodgment in bis reader's heart and understanding. Here is the testimony of a successful author. Sir Gilbert Parker: "Unless a thing has seized a man. has obsessed him and he feels that it excludes all other temptations to his talent, his book will not convince. Before all else he must be himself overpowered by the insistence of his subject." In all branches of work the rule holds good. In a shabby side street of the big city there is an old German cobbler. He is an intelligent man. wise in the ways of the world, but unlettered. Wben he puts on a heel he takes pains to round it to the proper shape. When he mend a sole he brings it as nearly as possible to its original state. He buys the best leather he can afford. In no deportment of his work floes he sklinp. "I must do the best 1 can for tny customers." he aays. "They trust me with their shoes. I will do for them as much as I can." He has the right spirit. He is seized by his work. Suppose your work is not appreciated? Well, the best form of approval is the approbation of self. If you feel that you are doing the best you can you are doing all that any one may demand of you. You will find your level.' never fear. All honest labor is worthy. There is a sonnet in a street crossing well swept; there Is a poem in a ineal well cooked; an epic in a household well conducted and orderly. There ar sermons in the doing of a good day's work and whole volumes in a life lived fairly and truly in the doing of an honest share of the world'B necessary toil.

At the Murray. Week of Sept. 1. "The Battle." At the Gennett Saturday, Sept. 6. Minstrel Show.

To be Produced Soon. Francis Sayles, through his New York representative has contracted for the following plays which he will present at the Murray during the winter season: "The Third Degree," "The Traveling Salesman,"- "Wildfire," "A Woman's Way" and "Get Rich Quick Wallingford," each of the plays will be staged complete.

Mounted "Indians." each holding a flaming torch led the Carnival parade through the streets of Richmond about 7:30 last night and hundreds of people crowded the sidewalks to witness the spectacle. Main street was a typical "Pike" of world's fair fame. As the parade continued toward the Gilbert lots the crowd followed into the grounds. Tickets were sold like an adding machine in operation. Children under 14 years of age were admitted free. The paid admissions numbered 2,100. The Carnival grounds are electrically lighted and the scene presented was a brilliant one. The shows are the finest and most up-to-date attractions ever seen in this city. The time-honored "hoochie" dance, an old carnival standby, is conspicuous by its absence, and there is not a show on the grounds which is immoral. The Ferris wheel, and merry-go-round are especially carried for the amusement of the children. The high dive free act was one of the best ever witnessed in this city, actually provided a real thrill for the crowd.

were exceptionally clever have been retained. All the feature acts of the olio are new and include two new comedy one-act sketches by Mr. O'Brien, which are said to be in the author's best vein of humor. One is called "Parcels Post," In which Mr. O'Brien appears in the leading character. The other is entitled "Who's Boss, or Taming the Militant," and will have Eddie Mazier and little Major Nowak for its principal fun-makers. There is also a new song and dance number conceived and staged by Pete Detzel, which he calls "The Eoony University or Class Day on the Campus." Like last year's dancing act with the show, this is a terpsichorean novelty, which in expert and original dancing tells Its story as plainly as though words were used.

Palace. The civil war drama, "The Madcap," one of the features being shown at the Palace today, is a two part Broncho military production full of exciting and realistic battle scenes, presented by an enormous cast of players, among whom are some of. the world's best riders. The scenes of the plot are laid in the south and tell of a young girl estranged from her sweetheart. He enlists in the Northern army, while she returns to her Southern home. Later after a thrilling chase he is shot and the girl finds him and securing him a horse, allows him to escape. Also is shown "Miss Norma Philips in the Reliance film, "The Girl Spy's Atonement."

"The Battle," Wilton Lackaye's successful play in four acts, was presented last evening at the Murray theatre by the members of the Frances Sayles Stock- company in & manner unusual for stock. Each and every member of the company was at his and her best. The lines were all well learned, which added materially to the success of the performance. Miss Worth shows remarkable improvement and was given several "hands." The part of Margaret Lawrence was assigned Miss Worth, and she certainly understands the part thoroughly. Regular attenders were pleased with the manner in which she interpreted her lines. The surprise of the evening was Del Sherrard, who had the part of Joe Caffrey. He certainly was one of the "hits" of the evening. Mr. Sherrard has a part well suited to him. and he is splendid this week. Carl Runyan. as Philip Ames, was better than in any other performance, and surprised many by his excellent work last evening. Jenny, taken by Miss Pauline Leroy, a general favorite In this city, was up to her average. Miss Leroy has the art of knowing how to get the most out of her lines. Miss Ada Simpson took the part of the maid, only appearing in the last act. Special mention is deserving the work of Mr. Sayles. He had the part of John J. Haggleton." This part is rather difficult, but Mr. Sayles knew Just how to interpret it. His makeup was linusually good. He has some very clever lines which are right to the point, and he knows how to convey his meaning. Moran, the discontented baker, was taken by J. J. Flynn. Joe Shafer as Gentle, was unusually good last evening. He was given several "hands." The show is well worth seeing, and by many is considered better that "The Deep Purple," presented so creditably early in the season by the company. The absence of Miss Mela Eyferth from the company this week is noticeable. Miss Eyferth will appear again next week in "The Melting Pot." Matinees will be given Thursday and Saturday. E. R. T.

Changaa of Climat. A scientist who recently investigated the causes of secular variations in temperature at the earth's surface thinks that they are more probably due to changes in the amount of carbonic acid In the atmosphere than to variations in the heat of the sun. If the amount of carbonic acid that the air now contains was diminished a little more than half the mean temperature all over the earth would, it Is stated, drop about eight degrees, which would be sufficient to bring on another glacial period. On the other hand, an increase of carbonic acid between two and three times its present amount would raise the mean temperature 15 degrees and renew the hot times of the eocene epoch. Boston Post.

New Juvenile Man. Hal Worth, is to be the new juvenile man of the Francis Sayles players. Mr. Worth comes from an old theatrical family and is said to be one of the cleverest young actors in the theatrical profession. Mr. Worth will open on September 15. He comes here direct from Kansas City where he has been in Stock the past season.

Montgomery county from Wayne county, Indiana, several years ago, was a victim of acute asthma and pulmonary trouble. He was employed as a farm hand at the country home of Mrs. Kate Haverstick on the Xenia pike. Nearly a fortnight ago he announced, after a couple of telephone messages to Richmond, that he was going to the Quaker city to visit his sister. He was absent from the Haverstick home several days, and it was supposed that he was visiting in Richmond. However, a week ago today he was found unconscious in a field near the Haverstick home by Constable Charles Powers. The official pressed an automobile into service, and Smith

The unfortunate man was 5 feet 11 inches tall, of medium weight and has sandy-gray hair. Unless the body is claimed this week it will be buried in potter's field.

EIGHT THOUSAND IN BONDSjS STOLEN Franklin Count v Woman's Home Raided While She Attended Reunion.

(Palladium Special OXFORD. O.. Sept. C It became known today that tS.000 worth of ngotiable 4 4 per cent bonds of the Territory- of Hawaii were stolen Saturday from the home of Mrs. IHornmedieu Bourne, a wealthv widow, living on a farm In Franklin Count v. Indiana. The members of the faVnlly were away from home Saturday attending the annual reunion of the Pioneers Association of Franklin and Cnion Counties. Indiana, and Butler county, Ohio which was held in a jtrove near here. The thieves entered the hou!e through a second story window. Unmolested, and with an abundance of time, they worked systematically, ransacking the house from cellar to attic. Kven the little drawer in a coffee grinder in the kitchen was inspected during their search for valuables. The bonds were hidden in a closet. Mrs. Bourne had been warned by members of the family to place her securities in a local bank for safekeeping, but she steadily refused, asserting that they were safe enough In the house. The bonds were numbered from 3Srt to 3S7 inclusive, each being in the sum of $1,000. The only clew is a well-defined footprint in the dust on the porch. This is the third robbery that has taken place in this neighborhood in three years, all having taken place reunion day, the last Saturday in August. In 1911 the home of Isaac C. Moore, a wealthy farmer, waa entered, and last year George W. McClure'a residence was robbed.
