An Anitdotc Handy.

The woman was the author of a
cook book that had been published
at her request with wide margins
and occasional blank pages for notes
and additional recipes. Often she had
expressed wish to see an old copy
of the book and find out to what use
the blank spaces had been put. One
day in a secondhand book store her
husband unearthed an old volume.
Noticing that it had been annotated
freely, he bought it. After a day or
two he said:
How about the notes in that cook
DOCK! Were they Interestingly"
NO" she said curtly, they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got chance he looked
through the book himself. Every
note the book contained was a rem

said the stenographer. Every morn
ing when at home Mr.. Stanley takes
walk down town and stops in a lit

The dog always waits outside for him.
And do you know that Mr.. Stanley's
absence from home has made the dog
so discOnsolate that regularly every
morning he goes TO the same place

MOVING PICTURE TRAGEDY.
Panic Caused Death Of Twcnty.Six.

"iaAS NouSSu DSdu W 1Wcnty.6lX.
Canonsburg, Pa. Aug. 27..-Twenty-
six dead from suffocation; 20 serious-
ly hurt and 80 suffering from minor
injuries.
That is the amount Of human toll
exacted by an inexcusable panic at a
moving picture show in the Canons-
burg opera house Saturday night. The
moving picture machine developed a
slight defect. 1t sputtered a bit. A.
small boy shouted ''Fire!" at the same
time starting for the narrow exit.
Botus Dubrowski, a foreign miner,
a gaint In proportions, jumped from
his seat and ran wildly for the same
exit. In moment there was a fight
ing, struggling mass after him. At
the head of narrow stairway which
led to the street the foreigner trip
ped. AS he rolled down the stairs he
swept others from their feet who were
awaiting their turn to enter the thea
tire. and soon there was an indescrib-
able mass Of human beings at the
foot of the steps battling like mad
men.
The bodies clOgged the way. The
men walked over them and fought for
positions Of safety until over
whelmed by the heigh of the
moving mass behind, they too were
crushed down to death.
1t was all ended in a few minutes.
Firemen, policemen and coolheaded
citizens untangled the human mass.
The unhurt and those slightly injured
were pulled from the top Of the pile.
Next came the more seriously hurt.
Then the rescuers came to the silent
forms of those who had reached the
fatal stairway first One after an
other the victims many Of them
women and small children, were car
ried to the sidewalk. All had been
suffcoated.
Manager Ferguson endeavored to
stop the panic. Accompanied by his
wife he went to the stage. Calling
loudly to the frightened people to fol-
low, he lead fully 800 to safety.
OF the 26 dead. 13 were children,
seven Of them pupils in the public
schools. Today it was decided to
postpone for a week the opening Of
the schools.
Arthur McPeake was passing the
building when the bodies began to
pile up at the door. The young man
rushed to the rescue and was in the
act of dragging a body from the pile
when a man came shooting down the
stairs. He struck McPeake on the
back and the young mans neck was
broken. Sydney Rittiger was at the
performance with his fiance, Miss
Lulu Fisher. Before entering the
building they had stopped at a jew
elry store nearby and Rittiger had
bought the ring that was to have been
used at their wedding. Both were
killed.
Will Lane, an employe OF the
CanOnsburg pottery and a member of
the volunteer firemen's organization,
fastened to assist firemen working at
the pile Of bodies at the entrance,
when he came upon the lifeless forms
of his two children lying beside his
unconscious wife.
Many other heartrending tragedies
were enacted during and following
the awful panic.
1t developed today that there was
no flash in the operating room OF the
theatre. Manager Ferguson of the
opera house explained that when the
film broke bright light was thrown
on the screen. The frightened boy
imagined if was fire and unconscious
ly shouted the death knell Of more
than score Of people.

standing erect on the horizon, a
cleaning scimitar in his hand, a
splendor in his eyes, unfolding
amid the thunder his two wings,
the Grand Army and the Old
Guard" He assumed control of
France when through its veins
were leaping the newborn fires
Of revolution, the virgin energies
Of fraternity and freedom. Daz-
cling his countrymen with the
resplendence of his genius, he
turned these sacred currents to
the elevation of himself. Thus
he re-established tyranny with
the very forces that had over
thrown it. Thus he exalted his
own fortunes above the fortunes
of his country, his own interests
above the interests Of humanity.
Beethoven, monarch Of all har-
mOny, the friend of man, who
registered in eternal melody the
mutations Of history, composed a
triumphal symphony in honor of
Napoleon when his elevation to
the first cOnsulship seemed an APP
propriate sequel to the RevOlu-
ton. Hearing that Napoleon had
yielded to the lust of power and
made himself an emperor, he
changed the symphony into a
funeral march to symbolic the
death of liberty.
The contrast presented by the
life of Washington with these
other lives is gratifying and re-
freshing not only to every Amer
lean, but to the friends Of liberty
in every portion Of the globe.
Loud applause. Without ex-
perience in directing warlike OPP
erations on an extended scale,
without adequate equipment for
his troops, without a supporting
government or treasury Of even
moderate strength, he was sum
mOned from the farm to the red
arena of the battle. Through in
credible difficulties, with a pa
thence and a courage that border
ed ON the superhuman, he led a
small and undisciplined body of
men taken suddenly from the
ordinary callings Of life to final
victory against one Of the fore
most nations of the world. In
triumph and in disaster he was
alike immovable and serene; in
official conduct and in private
intercourse his every act was free
from the slightest faint of intern
perance, Immortality, or corrup-
, ton. No massacre of helpless
foes, no deeds of cruelty defiled
, his fame. He claimed and re
ceived no reward for his seryi-
ces beyond the gratitude Of his
country. The dol of the Army
, and the people, he might easily
have become a king, yea, estab-
-, lished an empire hat would Ill
] timately have embraced a con
tinent. He rejected the gilt
-, tering prospect to resume the

clusion of Mount Vernon, his ru-
. raj home. A few years later he
was again summoned to his
n country's aid. AS the presiding
. officer of the convention that
d FRAMED the American Constitu-
ton, as the first President of
+ the Republic it created, a Repub-
q lie that in II decades has reached

concern was the glory of the pres
ent and of Pericles. Welded to
and display, he made him
self the exclusive prop and guar
dian of the state and when he
died it fell prey to demagogues
and factions. Call Alexander
frOm-his sarcophagus of gold-the
master of the world at 33.
Statesman, student, warrior, muir
derer, voluptuary, it is difficult
to believe that so noble AN aspect,
such towering gifts, could coexist
with such depravity. He sig
nalized his access to the throne
with the butchery of a little girl,
the representative of a collateral
line, while yet within her
mother s arms. Shortly before.
he died he crucified the physician
who attended the last hours OF
his friend, Hephaestion, and as a
sacrifice to HephaestiOn's mem
DRY exterminated a whole com
munity. Other friends he sent
to death on frivolous grounds,
destroying in a drunken frey a
beloved companion for question
ing his divinity. Extravaganza,
dissipation, luxury, followed in
his crimson steps.
On the other hand, he founded
universities and cities, and in the
pathway of his armies Greek
learning spread throughout the
earth. He became one of the
determining forces Of human his
tory. In ecstatic arrogance he
claimed the hOnOrs of omni-
potence and was saluted by a
fawning world as son of Jupiter.
He reached the SUBMITS of human
power, but his example is con
demned by the enlightened YER
dict of p~osterity. The colossal
fabric his sword had builded did
not long survive; he contributed
little to freedom and less to vir-
tue. Consider Hannibal, the con
summate ~strategiSt, who at rs
began the boldest enterprise in
military annals and who for 10
years disputed with Rome the
scepter Of the world. Mountains
glaciers, gorges, legions, storm.
and winters could not arrest his
remarkable advance from Car
/, thage to the interior of Italy.
Maintaining for 16 years in hos
tile territory an army of 20 diff
ferent nationalities, defeating the
proudest troops and generals Of
race transcendent in military
prowess, he was the only barrier
between the Roman Republic anc
the ascendency of the earrth. He

Carthage against Rome for world
supremacy. Hatred of his en-
emies was the dominating pas
sion of his existence; death by
his own hand in a land of strang-
ers was his unhappy fate.
Call mighty julius, commander
historian, politician, who gathered
into his own possession the sub
stance of authority while yet the
people wOrshipped the empty
symbols of a dead republic. Ac-
complished in diplomacy and war,
u%nprincipled in conduct, skilled
in every art of winning popular
devotion, he believed in neither
God nor freedom. He filled the
worlds horizon until assassinatio
laid his corpse upon the corpse he
had made of Liberty. The eff
feet of his career was to magnif
the avocation of arms, to belittle
peace, to place military authority
and military ideals above the civi
in the estimation of his time. He
could think of no term more
shameful in rebuking a body Of
mutinouS soldiers than to address
them as citizens. He builded a
personal tyronny on the ruins Of
human rights his name became
an everlasting emblem of auto
cracy. On the foundation of his
sword arose the bloody structure
of the worlds first universal EN-
pire. A thousand years of kings
and emperorS compose the heri-
tage he left the world. Consider
Charlemagne, whose marvellous
capacity lifted him to the over
lordship Of nearly all of medical
Europe. He did much to re-
establish order and culture in a
time of violence. He founded
schools, encouraged literature,
and in a series of prOclamations
called capitularies announced
standards Of thought and action
that were termed by Ampere the
charter of modern knowledge.
But while he advanced the learn
ing he made no effort to restore
the liberties of men. His hands
were wet with blood of helpless
victims, and imperial power had
, no stronger votary. Desolation,
waste, and massacre are too
prominent among the memorials
of his dominion. Call William,
p|reserver Of Normandy, conquer
or of England, victor of Wales
Dunes, of Varraville, and Senlac
William, superb alike in battle
