Recalled By Presence of the
Hero of the Story, in Albany
This Week.
The presence of Charles Mc Knight,
of Auburn, CMif., in the city, being
here to attend the funeral of his fath
er-in-law, J. R. Baltimore, brings up
an elk story of many years ago, as
wonderful as any ever told in truth
or even fiction, and this one is true.
It was first published in the Demo
crat on June 17, 1881, and afterwards
all over the country, among other
prpers ti e Youth's Companion telling
it. McKnight was then a toy of 15,
living with his father, T. P. McKnight,
at Lower Soda, where Mr. McKnight
had a pleasaure resort for summer
hunters and campers. At that time
there was no restriction on elk or
' deer.
One day Mr. McKnight .-nd Char-
ley went out after some horses that
had str.iyed sway. While gone they
'saw an elk, which Charley killed
They took part of the animal home,
but thinking that some wild animal
might devour the rest Charley and his
younger brother, Clyde, aiicd 13, took
their blankets and went back to look
after it. On reaching the place they
were met by two more elk, which they
slipped up on and (hot, killing both.
Shortly afterwards., their dog began
barking. Going to the place they
found a two weeks' old calf elk, which
they "feathered," so as to take it
home with them. Suddenly the boys
were faced by the infuriated mother,
only 20 or 30 feet away, coming like
a whirlwind, the Democrat said. It
was either death or quick action by
the boys, a situation that would have
made a veteran hunter shake. Charley
was equal to the occasion. Raising his
gun he fired when the elk was hardly
ten feet away, and he fell dead almost
at his feet. Four elks for two boys
was some killing. They slept in their
blankets and in the morning took the
calf elk home, and their father made
many horseback trips to the place af
ter elk meat, about fifteen hundred
pounds in all.
Mr. McKnight, who Is now Scout
master at Auburn, secured tt copy of
the story, and will take it mack for
publication in his home paper,' to thow
his fellow scouts what he did when a
boy. "...
GLOBE-DEMOCRAT CRITIC
' DESCRIBES FRIDAY'S PLAY
The Democrat prima the following
description of ToDay," which is to
lie presented at the Opera House Fri
day evening, clipping from the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The Globe
Democrat's dramatic reporter has the
following to say:
"Some of the besetting sins cur
rent in social life as George Broad
hurst, a turgid delineator, believes he
has seen them and now duly theatri
calizes are on view this week at the
Shnbert Theater under the general
caption: Today.
"The chief sin is woman's love of
finery and around this theme the
whole play revolves. "Lily Wagner"
marriiM the son of immigrant parents
and the young couple start house
keeping under the old roof tree. They
prosper to the point of opulence when
t'i'inr diinster overtakes the hus
band, 'Frederick Wagner.' who there
upon has to retrench. The four go
to a very moderate style of living.
All accommodate thermclvcs to this
sorely changed condition except the
young wife, who, under the spell of
evil female companionship, contracted
n the day of wealth, treads the path
I of dalliance and is surprised by her

human comedy resolves itself into
dire tragedy when the husband kills
his wife.
Broadhurst's bold discarding of the
happy ending and courageous cling
ing to the verities is the bes: thing
about the phy. The playwright evi
dently doesn't care about convention
al denouement. He want! to thrust
home his lesson that the wages of this
kind of sin as practiced hy "Lily Wag
ner" must be death if society is to be
saved. It isn't that he wants to put
a premium on wife murder or that
the resolution of what to do with
woman who defiles her home, ruins
her family and disgraces a good name
is her sudden dispatch. According to
Broadhurst, ' "Lily Wagner" has to
die at her husband's hands because the
playwright can thereby bring about
a thrilling consequential climax, "TV
dramatic necessity, and this, like any
other kind, knows no law.
