- LETTER comes TO me which com.
~ pels my earnest thought, and which
~ ] would like to lay before our con.
stituency. In fact. the writer OF the
note appeals TO your judgment fol
hep in the solution Of q problem. Here 10
what he says:
Can some member OF the Corner make
g suggestion regarding the rights OF chill
dren in their homes? Should they give all
their wages to their parents or should they
only pay their board? Our family consists
Of parents and FIVE children. three boys and
tVo girls. They don't own anything. not
even a house. and are much in debt. They
all claim TO have done me a great favor by
keeping me in school until was 1a. have
obtained a position and get a great deal
more money than the others, and they
expect me 10 pay al the family debts. Is
shis not mos; unjust-to expect me 10 pay
debts cid not altogether incur? The girls
bring all their money home. but II belongs
10 their sex to be unselhsh.
The question is Would they all appre-
ciaie me II vas 20 help some? Should not
each one look out TO- number one? want
40 save my money for myself. They can
live just as they did .efore I went 10 work.
Howeve-. I wait your opinion
YOUNG MAN"
/ wonoe. II You will understand my att
tude OF mind when l say that one OF the rlrst
queries which presented itself to me IN con-
sec;ion with this screed was: What would
have become Of the youth and his stay |
school until nineteen years OF age if the
Family had followed his theory OF eacn look
ing out for number oney"
Perhaps YOU do not share my impression
that the writer Of this note is another IL
iustration OF tire fact you frequently see
exemplified that the member OF the house
hold for whom most secrifices are made is
usually A miracle OF selhshness. He prob
ably has justice on his side to a certain de-
gree but his zeal for his own interests is
80 obvious as TO rob US cf sympathy for
him. Apparently he is not only number one
.n his own esteem, but several other nu-
merals as well

A well selected programme of pho to plays is on at this popular theatre today and includes two features, a kay-Bee two reel western drama, The Seal of Silence" and an Ameri- can two reel drama, "Quicksands,' a beautiful subject enacted out minute ly in every detail. The Mutual Week ly and a funny Keystone comedy. For the Love of Mabel" which is one round of laughter. Manager Craig is singing In the Gloaming and Come Along My Mandy. Tomorrow the patrons of this theatre will have an opportunity of seeing the greatest mo-
 tion piceure ever produced. namely The Battle of Gettysburg, a $75,00O production in five reels; faithful reproduction of the most bitter con- fict in the war annals of the world when thousands of soldiers grappled in a death struggle amid bursting shells an terrible cannonading, where men, maddened with the fury of the combat, asked no quarter and none was given. While the whole world stood aghast at the terrible carnage and deeds of heroism of that awful battle which lasted for three days, and in which the loss of life was appalling. This is positively the most stupendouS effort ever put forth ih motion pictures consuming four months in its production,
