Mr.. Jones mailed me his third grade

of recent date so that might grant the
permit without an examination, but it
was not accompanied by any recom-
mendation. Mr.. Jones was unknown to
me, so telegraphed to the superinten-
dent ef Washington county, asking Of
his knowledge Of the applicant. He re-
piled: Jones had permit here on Texas
certificate, but failed in examination, ("
On this information l wrote Mr.. Jones
and two other parties that as he had
held permit once before in the state
that could not grant him another. lie
then came to see me, bringing his recon-
mendations. These stated that he had
never taught, and he also stated that
the superintendent of Washington coun-
ty had mistaken him for one G. b. Jones
of the same county, although had
specified the particular Jones In my
telegram. On these recommendations
and his statement to me have granted
him permit.

SKIRT DANCES NOT IN FAVOR.

Audiences Want Exhibitions of the
Powers That Move the World.
1t is interesting to notice what pic
lures are the popular favorites in the
exhibition of the biograph, vitascope,
cinematograph and similar instru-
ments. The serpentine dances and high
kicking get a moderate amount OF APP
plause; the military scenes get a good
deal more; the march of a procession
down, apparently, into the very teeth OF
the audience, is almost startling; but
these are not the things which receive
an encore. At two recent exhibitions oil
this sort there were only two encores.
One of these was a burst of enthusiasm
over a view of the surf breaking Oh one
of'the piers at Manhattan Beach. The
other was from an audience that want
ed to see again the onward rush OF the
Empire State express.
The surf picture seemed fairly to
bring the smell of the sea into the
smoke-clouded theater. AS the wave
began to gather, form and get an edge,
the audience drew an eXpectant breath.
And as the water hurried on and on,
until@it finally broke atthe crest and
| flung itself forward with a force that
sent up a cloud of spray, the spectators
gave a great "Ah-h-h!" The view of the
Empire State express was v more
thrilling. At first there was only the
long line OF railroad coming straight
down the picture, and curving off to one
side at the front. Some section hands
were at work on the track. There was a
spot in the distance with a fine line of
smoke streaming away from it. Itgrew
with every second until it was a throb-
bling engine pounding it's way right to"
ward the audience. People held their
breath as the train swept toward them,
and it seemed nm actual escape when it
swung off on the curve and out of sight.
Next to these scenes, which portray
the working of some tremendous natur-
al force, the most popular ones are the
homely, everyday nj One of the most
delightful of these is a pillow fight
among four little girls. They are in two
cribs with ratings around them. Que
of the children lifts herself up and, talk
ing her pillow, m~ischievously bangs it
down on the head of her bedfellow. At
this the two in the other crib are highly
delighted and promptly sit up in bed,
holding on one rail at the side. The
unfortunate one, who has just been
whacked, energies from under the pill
low and is so angry when she sees the
other two laughing at her that she
snatches up a pillow and knocks them
both out OF sight with n fell swoop.
Then she turns her attention to the
original offender and hostilities are
general until one of the pillows bursts,
and the whole picture is full of feathers.

The Beauty Of the Greeks.

The beauty Of the Greeks has been
greatly praised, and / was much disap-
pointed at Athens; but the Greeks of
the Ionian islands are of a purerirace,
and one sometimes came across a very
beautiful face. There was a village ON
the island famed for the beauty of the
women. / drove wei and saw some
very handsome, tall women, with the
dow classic brows, and often with blue
eyes. They wore their hair plated with
ribbons and twined round the head like
a coronet. / was amazed to see such
~lnxuriant hair, but was told that it was
probably mixed with their mothers and
grandmothers' hair. l think Leighton's
idea that the Greeks were originally
fair was correct, for 1 saw several fair
haired women. My maid Marguerite
had the most lovely golden hair and
blue eyes, she was tall and statuesque,
