THE LITTLE STRANGER.

The most appropriate unrehearsed
effect that ever happened in Ian Robert

to be perhaps worth retailing. He was
at that time associated with his broth

ne is now playing in The Passing of
the Third Floor Back" which comes
20 the Illinois Thursday next, and as
the incident occurred on the first night
of a new production. he was naturally
very anxious and was watching with
great interest the audiences reception
Of each scene Now the chief moment
of the play was when a man asked the
girl 10 run away with him. There was,
Ian Robertson admits, some slight men
ton OF marriage to take place later, but

argument TO persuade the sad, motion

appeal, which was long and fervent,
and then paused for a reply. without
reasing her downcast eyes and in a
voice full of emotion. she said very
clearly so that the words rang out,
And then?'-when plump into the

HER WORK ORIGINAL,

An entertainment Of unusual inter
est will be the attraction at the Grand,
Davenport, next Wednesday evening,
when Henry B. Harris presents Ruth
st. Denis in her wonderful dances. For
this occasion Miss st. Denis will ap-
pear not only in the Hindu dances but
the numbers founded on the religion
and customs of ancient Egypt will
also be found on the program. While
technically called a dancer, Miss St
Denis does not specifically belong to
that class of entertainers, for her work
appeals to the mind as well as the
eye. She has in these dances and the
thought they convey a concrete idea
which affords entertainment as surely
as the theatre ever afforded it. 1t is
hard TO define her position in the pro-
fession- of entertaining for there is no
work like hers anywhere in the world
so unique and original has she made it.

THE question in my mind now, up

man whose father was a polygamist,
and whose mother was too fond of the

infancy by New England woman

lieving in good, wholesome food and
proper environment. She had him

HORSE LOOKED IN MIRROR,
Then There Was Some Lively Action
on Streets OF City

Camden, n. about the same
time a man carrying a mirror was
walking across Federal street, near
Camden, a horse attached to a small
farm wagon logged along. A mo-
ment later the horse spied itself in
the looking glass. and after that there
was iplenty of action
Laying back his ears the horse
made a leap for the mirror, missing
it by narrow margin. The man had
Just enough time TO throw the glass
to the driver and then grasp the
shafts. To these he hung with a
death grip, while the horse sped al
cng Federal street, lodging trolley
cars, automobiles and pedestrians.
Hundreds of persons were attracted
by the novel and thrilling runaway.
1t was after the horse had gone sew

HALE AND HEARTY

Mr.. w. B. YOhn Is Remarka BILE
Man-IIe Has Lived a Very Active
Life, But at this Advanced Age Still
Retains His Health and Strength.
William B. Yohn Of 1928 North Sew
enth street, Reading Penn, celebrated
the one hundredth and first anniver-
sary Of his birth on May 4. Mr.. Yohn
was born in 1910, and recalls many
OF his country's early struggles along
the frontier. In 1897 he went to
Reading. and has resided there with
his family ever since. Since 1884 he
has resided In the same house, which
he built for his ownw use.
He has always been actively en-
gagged in business. following pursuits
that called for physical endurance
and bravery. being at various times a
miller. constable deputy sheriff and
auctioneer. Notwithstanding thi,
vigorous life. he looks and feels fine.
Mr.. John attributes a considerable
part Of the wonderful length of his
life to Duffys Pure Malt whiskey.
which has been consistently used by
him whenever he felt the need of a
tOIlC StilHuldHl. IN ItLteT 10 a IT1enu
recently he said, in part:
"I wwas 101 years of age May 4th,
having been born in 1910. For good
many years I have used Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey with very fine results
| have always felt much better and
stronger after using 1t. I attribute
my long life to the use of pure IL
auors taken moderately all my life
AS a medicine / could recommend
nothing better than Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey."
When men and women pass the age
OF sixty they need a remedy that will
quicken the circulation, brin restful
sleep, invigorate the brain and pre-
vent decay. Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key is the only agent that will pro-
duce these happy results. 1t improves
the digestion and assimilation Of the

WOMAN SECRETARY
OF WATER BOARD
Miss Mary Wann Appointed to I'M
portant Position as Irrigation
Law ENDert

LAW FLAlSTt.
Salem, Ore.-Miss Mary Wann. for
six years stenographer in the attor-
ney generals office, has been ap-
pointed secretary tof the state board
of control. Miss Wann was chosen
over many applicants because of her
legal knowledge and experience in
the office of the attorney general. Her
first work will be the issuing of 500
water right certificates which are the
first definite water titles ever issued
by the state. These certificates have
just been adopted and are based on the
principle of simplicity so they may be
understood by every water user The
first 500 all go to eastern Oregon
counties.
Titles to public waters of Oregon
said State Engineer John H. Lewis
today, ARE established like titles to
public lands and water right certifi-
Gates are to water rights as patents
are to lands. The board of control
was created to determine and record
all old rights so confusion and quar-
rels might be eliminated and no long
er retard capital from coming into the
state.
These certificates limit the right
to use water in accordance with the
beneficial use made, and vest the
right in use rather than in the user OF
In the ditch Upon no other theory
could a successful administrative
system for public waters be found
If these fundamental principles were
, clearly kept in mind much confusion
as to water rights would vanish"
