“THE SAGE HEN”
A Heart-gripping,
Thrilling Western
Story of a Mother’s
Supreme
Sacrifice.
Stoned
Out Os The
Villoge —Because
she
lived
alene
with her baby
son and
took
no
one
into her eonfidence,
Jane
Croft was looked upon
by the
people
¢
Silver Grook
as
a
thing
unclean
and
indecent.
The
‘‘Sage Hen’’, they
called
her:
drove
her,
with
sticks
and stones,
from
the
village,
WHO SINS MOST —THE WOMAN WHO ERRS
OR THOSE
V' HO STONE
HER?
If you admire
a woman’s
lone fight against
narrow minds
and sharp
tongues
then
come
and
see
‘The Sag=
Hen”’.
;
Like A Tigress
She Fights
When
Her Loved Ones
Are Atrtacked.
Deep
down
in every
woman’s
soul
is her
feeling
fer
her
hi»ua,
her
honor,
her
child.
Be
she
an outcast,
with the
stigma
of an
"‘unclean
thing’’ to her
name
this
un-
quenchable
spark
of glorious motherhood
is alert
to burst
in
flame.
In the
breast
of
“*The Sage
Hen”’
was
the throbbing heart
of the Eternal
Mother,
Bat thoy knew
ro*
what
they dil
when they stoned
'her,
for she
was
the
whitiest,
gamest
and
cleanest
among
them.
Gladys Brockwell
as
"‘The Sage
Hen’’ is a heroie,
tragic figure who
will elutch your
heart
and
make
it beat
like
1
speedometer.
The play
rises
to heights
of
unsurpassed
emotion.
It grips.
It sways.
It holds
you spel
ound.
It is
like a swelling
symphony
of heart-pulling music,
whose
unforgetable
melu.y
is MOTHER-LOVE.
'
‘
It is the greatest
Compliment
to All Mothers.

“Voters’’ in
the Tribune
of yesterday
presents
Mr. D. D 2 Leon
of this town as
a
prospective
candidate
for the country in
the
com'ng
elegrions
wlinch
are
now
.
understood
to
be
fxed
for
May
11 and
|
12th.
It
is
undoabtediy
gratifying
to
|
find the electorate
dzveloping some
inter-
|
est
in their pclitical affuirs and the
cam-
|
paign
promises
to bea lively one
with
'
nowninees
eropp:ay
up bore
and
there
all
along.
So
far as Christiansted
Town
is
concérned
there
is
no
doubt
that
Dr.
Canegata
should
and will be returned,
in
al; probability
unopposad.
Despite
the
fact that the doctor
is
a professional
man
always
very
busy,
he
has
readily
and
conscientiously
given
his
time
to
the
duties imposed
on him by the
electorate
and
without
any flattery it
may
be
said
of
him
that
he
has
discha:ged
those
duties,
often unpleasant
ones,
creditably.
In the present
campaign,
we
are,
there-
fore,
not
considering
Dr.
Canegata
so
much
since
his re-election
is a warranted
and
foregone
conclusion.
The
country
districis
leave
some
field for review
and
consideration.
Mr.
Jessen
who had
not
had
any political earcer
pricy to
his
now
cxpiring
term,
has
displayeda
bearing
that
has
won the
admiratior of his
cen-
ctituents
and there
is no
talk but
to
put
bim
back
as
a good
man
who
deserves
further
chance.
We
haye
not
heard
n ueh
in regard
(o the others;
Mr. Bergis
L nderstood
to
be
opposing
Mr. Neithropb,
.nd
Mr.
Jackson
Mr.
Coulter.
It
is
uodersieo
]l th:t those
geutlemen
2re
rot
interested
in
lunning
again.
However,
there
is
time
in
which
the
caundidates
elect
may give the public some
eniizghiten-
ment
as rogards
their platforas.
The Graduating
Exevreises
of the Chri:-
tians'ed

which Mr
W.
Ethelbzrt
Messer
is Pan-
cinal were held last night
in

The

an inter-stin:
and
compiete
account
of the work of the class
by Mr, Megser
who
thereafter
called
up-
on
Cecii Fhaire
to
read
bis
messuge
of
welcome
which
was written
in shorthand
upon
a
blackboard.
This
accompiished,
the Assistant
School
Direcior
d:livered
-1 appropiiate address
and
proceeded
to
distribute
the
diplomas.
Messrs.
Geo.
Jackson
and Thos.
Ash
then
spoke
some
words
of
encouragement
to
the
class,
congratulating
them
upon
their
atizin-
ments
and
urging
the
members
to
persevere
in
their
studies.
Mr.
