THE NEXT ATTRACTION.
"As Told i'm the Hills" Coming to
the Grand Next Tuesday.

Princess Wah-ta-Waso is only a
mite of girl in stature, but big in
pluck and determination, and when
she says she can do a thing, her
words carry conviction, so when she
told w. F. Mann that "Pamnena"
was the part for her, he felt no hes
itancy in providing the production
and an ample cast to support her.
That his faith was not misplaced
is shown by the way she is crowd
ing the theatres everywhere, and the
unanimous praises being showered
upon her by the public and press
alike.
She holds the enviable distinc-
ton of being the only full blooded
Indian star on the American stage
today and besides being the only
full blooded Indian star on the
stage, is also one of the prettiest.
She is also an expert in horseman-
ship and never dreams of riding
woman's fashion, but rides astride
as nature intended. A pouring
rain or heavy cannot stopcmfwyp
her spirits, and no matter how Sc
we're the weather, she takes a good
hours walk or gallop on her fav-
orite horse and then has a good
bath and a rub down afterwards.
At the Grand next Tuesday, March
18th.

Little Story Suggests Improvement on
Crockett's Words Of Wisdom.

The other day man travelling on a

from an overhead rack, a dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not In the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped on the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the cassaoS him. After
some discussion and mild protest
on the part of the conductor that II
wasn't part of his duty, tile suit
case was put of at the next station,
with instructions TO send it back on
the first train the other way.
The man, feeling that he had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest Of his journey.
But not for long! The face OF his

and who happened on that particular
afternoon, to be going to New London

WOMAN AND BABE
RELEASED FROM JAIL

Walla Walla, Wash.-Her debt
paid, her case dismissed, Mrs. T. S.
Cullen this morning is a happy wo-
man and her family is reunited. AZ
ter her short stay in the county Jail,
with her 6-months-old baby, the
members of the Cullen household are
again giving thanks for life and free
dom.
Mrs. Cullen is a widow, with six
children, and supporting an aged
mother When in Spokane she
bought some furniture on the INSTALL
ment plan and when she had it near
ly paid for, came to this city, not
knowing she laid herself liable in so
doing. The furniture company had a
warrant isued for her arrest, and
she was apprehended and thrown into
jail with her nursing baby. The rest
of the children were left with no sup
port and with only their 75-year-old
grandmother.
The citizens of Walla Walla raised
sufficient funds to pay Mrs. Cullens
debt and gave her some money to ex-
list on. Employment has been found
for the children.

FRANCE FACES
9EPOPULAT|0N
so DECLARES DIR. BERTILLION
EMINENT STATISTICIAN
His Figures Show that the Rich,
Artists, Novelists, Arlstocrats and
Prominent Men Have Few Children
Future Generations Must BE Re-
cruited from the Slums.

Paris, Aug.-The French peril to-
day is depopulation, owing to the
steady decrease of births.
DR.. Jacques Bertillion, statistician,
declares that the fault lies wholly
with the rich upper classes, artists,
men of letters and statesmen, as well
as the arlstocracy. out of a list OF
445 Of the most prominent men or
the French capital, 1T have no chill
dren and 100 have only one child
each.
In similar way Bertillon has stud
led the leading French artists He
says that among 81 of the foremost
painters in France 35 are childless
and 2S have only one child each.
Novelists, poets and dramatists
make no better showing, for statis-
tics prove that out of 1913 most emil
nent writer's 65 have no children and
32 one child. Only one author, he
dramtist, has increased the popula-
ton by the enormous number of five.
II all the literary children were dis
tributed pro rata among writers there
would be little more than half child
for each family.
Politicians are equally negligent
Of the glory OF France with their 81
childless members of parliament.
The conclusion Of Bertillon is mel
ancholy to degree: From the
slums throughout France and from
the lower classes alone will come the
future population of France"
