The "thou fdialt not" IH N hedge. The purpose of n hedge Is not to annoy , but to pro tect. Uncle Sam maintains ! UX ) ( ) bea con lights , < ! , ( MX ) buoys and signal along bin coast. Kae-h one says , "Thou Hlialt not ! " No mariner Is quite wiidi n fool IIH lo think Uncle Sam a bullyIng - Ing policeman with a big stick. "Don't Go Out the Gatel" Keudal days had moatn with draw bridges. Then came walled cities , then house's with brick and sfono walls. Our colinlsts built sloe-kudos ; nfte < r the Indians had gone , board fences , then the picket and almost Invisible - visible wire or a be-el of geraniums now none ! "Johnny , don't go out the Kate , " mother used to say. Now John ny plays on the street. Whether ho did better among the lilacs and the. old fashioned sweet Williams protect ed by the hedge or out In the street dodging automobiles and Hipping cig arette pictures Is a question. It's an ago of transition. Following the trend of things , we are tearing down many fences. They're so old fogylsh ! There was a time when folks got married nnd they mild , "For better , for worse , till death us do part. " Tlmt was the understanding , and they meant It. If they had a tiff they made It up long before communion Sunday at the old church. Hut the marriage feuco seeing tottering. Only one In eight stands ! Reno has a permanent settlement , and our wives get circulars mailed from there ut the breakfast table. They arc busy tearing down the old Sabbath fence our forefathers thought was so necessary for the safety of the repub lic. Even the theological professors nro feverishly removing the barriers about the Bible. Stars ! Wo can re member when mother used to read those wonderful Bible stories to us. "Wo thought they were true , but It seems not Of course fences are anti quated and outlandish. That verso about "Remove not the ancient land marks which thy fathers set" must bo all foldcrol. Hedges Are Law. Sin says , "Don't bother about the hedges. " When yon read tomorrow morning's paper yon will scan the story of the suicides , murders , home wreck- kle Ings , sensational trials. The whole len surface of the social sea seems strewn with this human flotsam. Who are they ? They are the hedge breakers , and the .serpent has bitten them. They have broken some law. Law makes the earth revolve. Light follows dark Itid ness. Spring , summer , autumn and winter follow In endless procession with their llowers , harvests , fruits and snows. It is law that lets birds lly. lish swim , cattle to roam In the Held. Id.as If a llsli leaps on the shore it has broken a hedge : If a beast remains , asu der water It has broken a hedge ; if ua plant should refuse water It will have broken a hedge. The serpent of penalty , alty will bite them. The penalty and broken law go together like tire and heat. We are hedged In with law- natural law , civil law , social law , com mercial law , common law , moral law , ecclesiastical law , International law. Law Is the throne on which the Almighty VIof mighty sits. You can't break one of these laws with Impunity. That story back In Eden doesn't have to be true. 10.ho There nro hundreds of cases before the public eye today where men and wo , men have closed the gates of paradise on themselves. God help us ! The brambles of the hedge have scratched us more than once. The Sting of the Serpent. Better keep hands off the hedge. Before fore sundown of your little day you will feel a festering wound. It means restraint in the family , parental au thority ; In the social circle , conven tionality and Mrs. Grundy ; In the church , still more stringent limitations , How you envy the bohonilaus ! Will it never cease ? Never , from cradle to grave. Children hardly move > ut "don'ts. " You will outgrow those "don'ts" only to encounter others. Seems tyrannical ? You can reach through and get the. coveted thing others have but you get it only as theme mouse gets the bait in the trap. Fame comes slow. You can become notorious ' rious In an hour. Want money with out earning it ? You can , but theft and ' embezzlement are on the other side | of the hedge. Want to gratify passion ? First visit the municipal hospital. AVnnt your social glass ? Hotter not. [ Red light ahead ! Hedges are really rails put along the sides of life's foot bridge. They limit your liberty , true , but they limit your danger. The night may bo dark , the sky starless those i rails are your safety. They shut you out , but they also shut yon In. Would you let your child walk the footbridge without them ? Neither would Owl. Want-advertise for a cook and I It there's a good cook to be had , you'll have an even chance of getting her. Try a News want ad next time. No Didders On County Jail. Madlaon. Neb. , Nov.

Accompanied by a brass band , the Wayne high school football team will arrive In Norfolk on Thanksgiving day , on a special train crowded will Wayne football fans. They will on- deavor to wrest the honors of the pigskin - skin In the afternoon from the Nor- folk high school team on the driving park gridiron where last Saturday the local high school team defeated the Wayne normal team by a score of 23 . to 5 , and the preceding Saturday play- ed the Columbus team a nothing to nothing game. Although thb Iuca7 team are confi dent of winning , they have not given "l j up their practice , under tbo able co'ach-l. ing of Superintendent F. M1. Hunter , I who pulled last year's champions ( o victory. The players this year are' ' looking as good-as the champions of 11)09. ) They declare brass bands can- net hold them back and they nro de termined to make good. Should NorI' folk win the game Thanksgiving day , I ; they will easily be the champions of i neirtheast Nebraska. Should they lose they will still claim that honor , havB iiiE played one more game than last | year's team with but two defeats The llrst defeat this year was In a misunderstanding on the part of 11 ! ' number of players as to the touching of a ball in tlioir second game with I i Noligli. They lost the game by a 2 to 0 score , having dofeatcd Neligli pre- | ' Mously by 18 to 0. Laboring under , , the impression that the Stauton foota I linll team who defeated the second Norfolk high school team hero a few weeks ago , was the first eleven , the Ponder ' team has announced its claim to the northeastern Nebraska football championship. Ponder declares It defeated , feated the Wayne normals , who de feated . the Stariton team. Unless Pen- dor claims the championship of second end high school teams in this territory they are not by any mearis champion's. The Stanton team defeated the second end Norfolk high school team by a score of 9 to 0. Ponder defeated the Wayne normal by a score of 5 to 0 , while Norfolk def6ated 'the normals 23 to 5. FRIDAY FACTS. R. Boldt has rented his farm , four miles , northeast of the city , to Gustavo Dresher of Hadar. Mr. and Mrs. L. A.

The clerk Is looking for heat writer.

I glvo you one hour to leave the city , and if you show up hero again you will bo arrested for vagrancy , " was the judge's decision In his case. ' Woodruff This Week. One of the biggest theatrical events of the year In Norfolk in fact , the biggest event Hint Norfolk has known In some three or four years will be the appearance at the Auditorium on next Friday night the night after Thanksgiving of Henry Woodruff In "The Genius. " Sent out under Mort II. Singer , this popular American star Is provided with a song-comedy that is ddllclous and ] a supporting company that Is exceptionally high quality , including a number of very beautiful , as well ns very ( clever girls. "The Genius" is a brand new 1910 attraction. Last year Mr. Woodruff starred in "The Prince of Tonight. " Mort II. Singer produced both shows. "Tho Genius" comes complete in each detail , carrying all of Its own scenery , The Auditorium Is putting up the , largest guarantee in Its history to . "bring Mr. Woodruff to Norfolk and , , it Is believed that the public will ap- predate ! j the attraction to the extent of filling the Auditorium with a capacity . . ity house Friday night. A very largo number of out-oftown people ' are looked for for this event , as it will be one of the very best shows that over came to this city. Not many cities Norfolk's size will get Henry Woodruff. Ho has boon at tNow York , Chicago , Milwaukee and a few others of the big cities , and It was only by offering a very large guarantee that the attraction was secured - cured for Norfolk. This week Mr. Woodruff has been appearing to ca- paclty houses in Kansas City. The seat sale will not open until Wednesday morning , but mail orders accompanied by remittance , are now being received and will be reserved In the 1 order of receipt. A large number of mail orders have already been re ceived. The price will be $1.50 to 7 > 0 cents. Here's What Milwaukee Says. Here's what the Milwaukee Sentinel said of the show : The ever youthful and joyous Hen ry Woodruff , aforetime know'n and loved of matinee girls as "Harry" Woodruff , returned last night to Mil waukee in "The ficnius , " and as of yore reaped a plentiful harvest of ap- plause at the Alhambra theater. "The Genius" is billed as a "song- comedy. " It is more than that , how ever. It is really a clever , humorous satire upon the mania of some of our rich folks for " , 'igh h'art. " The book Is the handiwork of William C. and Cecil Do Mille , the music Is by Paul Rubens and the lyrics are by Vincent Bryan. Like all productions put out by Mort H. Singer , "Tho Genius" is richly staged and costumed , and bounteous ly blessed with pretty girls. It woroMisolcss to attempt to ana- lyzo the art of Henry Woodruff. For years ho has come and gone , always bright , cheerful and debonair , but each year becoming more and more the finIshed - Ishod artist. For long a decided suc cess in dramatic parts. Mr. Woodruff for the last few seasons has taken rte musical comedies , and really bo seems to have come into his own in this dlfllcult field. In "The Genius" Mr. Woodruff is at his best , and as ho is assisted by an unusually capable company , the play Is altogether delightful. 'The Genius" in biiof tolls the story of a young chap , "Jack Spencer , " who to win a girl who "goes In for art. " makes an arrangement with three Im pecunious artists whereby bo signs j I their work while they are to receive the monetary towards resulting from notoriety which bo will create. The first act serves to develop this plot , and thereafter the play fairly teems with amusing , If sometimes impossi ble , complications. "Tho Genius" \ just the sort of a comedy for Mr. We > odruff's peculiar personality. It abounds In clover bits of satire , and a sort of humorous rail lery runs all through the plooo. Mr. Woodruff tan't sing , but Is an accomplished pantomlmlst and he can "talk n song" with tolling effect. There Is plenty of music , bright , catchy "humming" songs , and there Is the life and action which always marks Singer productions. The supporting company , as has been ' said. Is excellent. Miss Madge Ken nedy , a young and beautiful girl new ( o Milwaukee- , made a decided hit as Nell Graham , a model. Miss Kennedy has more than her share of good looks , and bosldes is gifted with a rich sense of humor that enables her to keep quick pace with Mr. Woodruff. Henry lllichberg , as Vogolsburg , a musician , piesonts a clear-cut bit of refined German Impersonation that Is exceedingly refreshing In these days of exaggerated "types" ou the stage. Theodore A.
