Archie Boyd in Shore Acres.

Homely Honesty, while it may be
scorned b, city folks, has the true ring
of sincerity. and the country would
perhaps be better off if homely homes
ty were the standard even among the
high financiers. When James A.
Herne wrote his great play, "Shore
Acres" there is no galnsaying but
that he got close to the hearts of the
people and that is always one of the
strong points In successful plays
Mankind is indeed at level when ca
pable of selling mothers last rest
Ing place. The story of "Shore Acres
is based on such transac ion as this,
where one son wants to get rich at
once and is willing to sacrifice the plot
of ground on which stands his moth
er's grave. The other brother, Ma
thaniel Berry, resents this, and would,
if he could, hurl all land syndlcates
into the sea.

Attractions at the Valentine Theatre
Toledo, Ohio, Week of
April Fifth.

The Valentine Theatre of Toledo,
will offer on April 5-6-7th, the mov-
ing pictures representing the Burns
Johnson Fight which took place in
Australia. These pictures are being
presented by w. A. Brady, who has
seen to it that they are being given
wit every possible facility to make
them clear. They represent the very
best achievement of moving pictures.
No other event of interest to the pub
lie has been so vividly reflected on
a motion picture film. The very lat
est devices and improvements in the
apparatus for taking the pictures
were used and as result the pic
lures when thrown on the screen
have all the vividness and light of
the original subjects. AS this con-
test was one of the most interesting
to the sporting world that has taken
place for years, the interest of these
pictures to this class will run exceed
ingly high. All the thrill that could
have been experienced at the ring
side can be felt by witnessing the
representation of these rounds on the
motion picture film. Without ques.
tion, the entire sporting world of this
section of the state will avail them
selves of the opportunity to witness
the pictures of this fight. The pic
lures are owned exclusively by w.
A Brady and are positively not be-
ing given under any other auspicies
in any other place in this section.

Buying of Property. =

Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 28.-With the
adoption of the Fox BILL which is now
we'll on its way through the legisla-
ture, the extension Of Capitol park
can be started without delay. The bill
provides for the appointment by the
governor, with the approval Of the
senate, of q commission of three COM
petent citizens, to acquire the property
for the state. The commission will be
vested with the full power Of the state
to take land by condemnation where
it cannot be purchased amicably.
The fact that the naming Of the COM
mission is left entirely with the gov
ernor is guarantee that the enter
prise will be carried out with the
same business-like care and capacity
that has marked other features of the
Stuart administration. As in the case
Of other committees appointed by him,
Eovernor Stuart will keep in personal
touch with the work of this body. All
the acts of the commission will be
subject to the governors approval.

Do your pigeons hearts throb with
fear when in your hands? You may

l few sweetmeats.
Slip in quietly and try it, and the
beautiful creatures will soon flutter
down to bill and coo with you.
There are those nervous ducks, geese,
turkeys and guineas, that still retain
part of their ancestral wild nature of
the mountain and stream. Have you
made them friends and thus better
profit payers by gentleness and little
acts of kindness?
And the chickens!
Do those clarion cocks give the sig
nal Of danger to the hens to flee when
you approach, or do the roosters crow
for joy and the beautiful white biddies
come to trill their appreciation for
your kindness and to inquire for the
usual treat of chicken confectionery?

and a week later, to his astonishment,
he learned of her serious illness and
that she had been taken to Clifton. 1t
was the only satisfactory news he had
had Of her in months.
When he had finished his figuring he
fished out a check book, detached a
tiny gold fountain pen from the bunch
of seals and knickknacks on his watch

them over without comment.

Eileen had not written him. His sud

had so astounded her that she could
not believe he meant to be gone more
than a day or two. Then came his
note, written at the Patroons' club,
very brief, curlously stilted and formal,
