A Spokaneite sojourning in Okla
homa writes to The Press that
folks down there are establishing
high standard of regard for
women. In support Of his assertion
he introduces copy of sign ex-
hibited in the restaurant of hotel
at Pauls Valley, that state, which
reads:
This is Dining Room.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Treat 1t AS Such.
No Loafing, Swearing
or Splitting on the Floor.
: One of the principals in a recent
production at local theater was
standing in front OF the theater
after the performance one evening
when little newsie sauntered up

Gournay-Martin, rich, with a
home in Paris and chateau In the
suburbs, Is particularly the mark
OF Lupin. Every courteous threat
that Lupin has sent him has been
fulfilled. Pictures have been cut
from the walls; safes have been
broken into from the rear, leaving
their fronts unchanged. Guer-
! chard, a great detective of Paris,
is put on the case, after the Gour-
nay-Martins have been robbed
three times.
Guerchard, in a scene at the
Gournay-Martin chateau, discovers
that servants seem to be in the
plot. He orders them held and calls
for patrol wagon. A wagon rolls
up, takes the prisoners-and Guer-
chard discovers that 1t was fake
patrol wagon sent by Lupin. This
is only one Of many tricks shown in
the play.
While the detective Is in the
house, a message comes from Lu-
pin that at II that night he will
steal the Gournay-Martin pearl
necklace from the chateau. The
duke Of Charemace, who is to be
married to Germaine Gournay- Mar
tin, and who has hunted lions in
Africa, travelled in balloons, fought
In many wars, hunted the north
pole. is a guest at the chateau. Old
Gournay-Martin hurries his family
in automobiles from the chateau to
Paris at once.

IF he says he'll come" says the
old man, he'll come, and / don't
want to be here with my family"
The duke of Charemace, whose
chivalry and courtesy have made
him the social lion of the day in
Paris, agrees to remain in the cha
teau with Guerchard to guard the
pearl necklace.
Guerchard places the necklace on
the table and the two men sit down
in the big, lonely room. Then comes
the scene that makes the play a
success. For the first time the au-
dience discovers that Guerchard,
baffled by Lupin for many years,
believes that the duke is Lupin.
They smoke and talk together. The
clock near IL. The duke banters
Guerchard that he has not caught
Lupin.
But he won't get this necklace.
I'll make him break his PROMISE"
says Guerchard. 1t is three min
utes to ~.
"At IL O'clock" says the duke,
"Lupin will have this necklace"
pointing at the case on the table.
The clock strikes midnight.
"Ho!" exclaims Guerchard, seiz-
ing the case.
"Ha! hal" echoes the duke.
These are paste. The necklace
was tsolen many days ago."
In the last act Guerchard traces
the duke to his rooms for proof
that he has the stolen necklace.
The duke, cornered, his house sur
rounded by Guerchard's men, goes
upstairs in an elevator and sends
the elevator down. Guerchard, not
finding any stairway, takes the ele-
vator. AS he ascends, the audi
ence discovers that the elevator
has two decks and on the lower
deck sits Lupin before a mirror,
making himself up to look like
Guerchard. He steps out and calls
in Guerchard's men.
"Lupin is upstairs in that eleva-
tor" he says. He is disguised like
Guerchard. When he comes down,
seize him. I'll go to the front of
the house."
Thus he escapes, while Guer-
chards own men are trying to ar
rest Guerchard. With Lupin goes
Sonia Kritchnofe, former servant in
the GournayMartin home, with
whom the duke fell in love when he
discovered that she was stealing
| from Germaine, the duke fiance,
and whom he saved from the police.

A Big Sensation

Who ever heard of a sausage sen.
sation?
Early in the sausage season we
told you about the A. & X. sausage
craze. Many people who evidently
were not getting the best sausage
found their way to the A. & X,
Market, First and Monroe, and
purchased some of this A. &
X. Superior Sausage. 1t created
sausage sensation. Most all those
orders have been duplicated, and
those people have become regular
customers Of the A. & X. Market
for good things to eat.
If you have not tried this A. &
X. Sausage you have missed a de-
lightful feast. It's a pure pork
sausage properly made and season.

FRANKLIN, Pa, Sept. 27.-Be-
cause of it's luxuriance, the parents
of Harry Sanford would never al.
low his hair to be cut. The boy,
whose age is Is, is going to college
this fall and he told his parents
that he was going to have his
hair cut whether they gave him
permission or not. His locks when
shorn weighed more than a pound.
Up to the time he was eight years
old Harry worse his hair loose
about his shoulders, but of late
years he has braided it and let it
hang down his back under his coat.
Even this was very conspicuous,
and the boy never liked to come
to town because he attracted SO
much attention.

much maligned city, according to
Rev. John Thomas, B. A., of Liver

cause he had been reading the
writings Of w. T. Stead and had
come to the conclusions that Chi
cago was "hell ON earth" Today
DR.. Thomas, after a weeks search
for indications of the existence of
wholesale vice among the people of
Chicago, says he found none. He
declares that conditions are not so
bad in Chicago as they are in the
larger cities of Great Britain.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-New
York is aQuiver, as London and
Paris have been, over the French
detective play, "Asene Lupin."
Charles Frohman made lucky
strike when he brought 1t to this
country. Already he is forming
road companies. SO the whole coun.
try is likely to see it.
Francis de Croisset and Maurice
Leblanc, who wrote "Arsene Luz

the detective play line.
See for yourself: A brilliant
thief, who calsl himself "Arsene
Lupin," is working In Paris, and is
the talk Of the town, because he
always leaves his calling card and
always gives warning, in advance,
of his coming.
