is sometimes so great to be almost battling.
The owner of a fine team of matched grays had
them insured last year. Each horse had a name
which was recorded In the application blank as well
as in the policies. But the difference in the names
was the only difference in the animals, so far as the
ordinary person could observe And when, few
months later one Of the horses died the owner offered
to wager the insurance official who came to adjust
the claim that he could not tell which horse was dead
The insurance man took the bet and won it.
"Tel me how you did it." said the owner, land you
can have the best split second watch can buy for
$780,"
The insurance pointed to the little black spots
that are always found on the inside of horses front
legs near the knees.
''You see those spots" said he. "They are clrcu-

the spots on the dead horses legs are little smaller

"BEN-HUR IN MACON"
L.W MaIIaCe's "TaIe of
The Christ"


Sacred history properly drama
tized must necessarily be of great
benefit to all who giveit attention,
for where one man can acquire
knowledge by reading, ninety mine
or more are willing to study by the
ear and eye combined, and will re-
tain instruction thus received more
wildly than from the written page
General Wallace's great book
"Ben- Hur" is beyond doubt a
most interesting volume, but how
infinitely more impressive is the
actual presentation of these deeds
set down. The series of word
pictures pertaining to Christ's life
in this dramatization are most ably
selected from the novel 10y William
Young, but the play is by no means
Il picture of the liIcof the RedeeDler.
The salient earthly points of thu
novel, not the strictly religious,
are what the dramatist selected
and for that reason "Ben- UurN is
full of comon interest regardless OF
belief or creed.
Art and invention joined hands
in making Klaw & Erlanger's new
and greater production marvel OF
the stage. The thrilling interest
of the story is intensified by the
wonderful mechanical contrivances
which make possible the presenta-
ton of such striking incidents rs
the chariot race with its twelve
fiery steeds, the sinking of the
Roman galley and the rescue the
appearance of the Star Of Bethle
hem, the vision in the Vale OF
Hinnom and the miracle on the
Mount of Olives. The character
of General Nallace's mighty bibli-
cal romance is thoroughly main
tanned notwithstanding the magni-
tude of the scenic settings.
Keen interest is centered in the
staging of ben Hur" at the Grand
