of the afternoon session a banquet, under
the auspices of the Prohibition Alliances
of the county, will be tendered to Oliver

The recent successful launching of a
local option law, and the unprecedented In
terest in our party work leads to the an
ticipation of a large representation and a
most enthusiastic convention.

WHAT THE LITTLE BOY SAID.
J. M. Barrie Pays Royalties to a Ju
venile Collaborator.
New York Herald.
That J. M. Barrie is not the sole author
of "Little Mary," that he had a collab
orator, who has drawn royalties, and that
be has caused a legal document to be
drawn 'up acknowledging the collabora
tion, will be news to most porsons. This
is the first time In his literary career that
the author and playwright has not relied
upon his own talents.
Mr. Barrie has a boon companion. Tom
my, son of Mr. Llewellyn Davis. One day
Mr. Barrie brought his little friend some
sweets.
"If I gave you these sweets and told
you If you ate -them you would be sick
in the morning, what would you say.'
he Inquired. '
Tommy instantly replied: "I'd say that
I'd be sick tonight."
Mr. Barrie was delighted.
"Give me permission to use that line in
my new play, he said to the laa, ana
as part author, you will receive royalties
to the amount ot a naitpenny ior every
performance given when the play Is pro
duced."
Permission was. of course, readily given
and a contract was drawn up and duly
signed and sealed.
All that time Mr. Barrie was writing
"Little Mary," which Mr. Charles Froh
man Is now running at Wyndham's The
ater, and which he is to produce snoruy
in New York.
The line referred to has been utilized in
the first act and always gets a big round
of inuehter. which Is well worth the roy
allies it draws, for Mr. Barrie had abided
bv the letter of the contract, and pays his
royalties regularly. If the popularity of
the play be taken into consideration.
"Tommv" is in the way of amassing a
small fortune for a boy.

A New Explosive.
While aluminum has bean employed to
prftiuee intense heat tor welding and sim
ilar purposes for 'some years. It is only re
cently that It is found as an ingredient of
an explosive where this action is also re
quired. In "ammonal," a new explosive
Invented by an Austrian named Fahrer.
powdered aluminum is combined with car
bon and ammonium nitrate. Aluminum
has a high affinity for oxygen, and when
these elements unite intense heat is gen
erated, which, in the case of the explosive
raises the temperature of the gases pro
duced by the decomposition of ammonium
nitrate. Increasing the temperature is
equivalent to increasing the explosive ef
fect, and preliminary results indicate the
high power of this jvw oxploslve. If
the addition of aluminum to an ex
plosive compound has the beneficial re
sult claimed In this Instance, there Is no
reason why It should not find wider ap
plication. Harper's weekly.
