In criticizing George Hodges for nam

saying that it shows very ayari-

the dear, patriotic people who at

never be guilty of such a breach of

TIM AND TED.

IN and Ted were black kittens,
and they were fast growing to
be big kittens, too.
They were so near alike that
you could only tell them apart when
You looked at their feet. Ted had cne
white paw, while Tim was all black
not bit of white on his little body.
Now Tim and Ted were growing to
be very bad kittne. for they chased
butterflies and birds, and sometimcs
they caught bird and ate II.
Il think we could catch more birds,
said Tim. IF there were not two OF us.
one of US is always sure to be seen.
Now, I have a scheme that l am
sure will help us. We must not be seen
together. and then the birds will think
there is only one cat.
You go to sleep on the top OF the
fence, where you can be plainly seen,
and I will hide behind bush. and when
the birds see you asleep they will fly
down to the ground and l can catch
them"
Ted agreed to this II Tim would prom
Use to sleep as long as he did.
Tim promised he would. and the next
morning Ted took his place on top OF
the fence and went TO sleep.
Pretty soon the birds saw Ted, and
after looking about for Tim and not
finding him they Rev down to the
ground Out darted Tim and caught
one Of the poor little birds and carried
it into the bushes.
Away flew the. others into a tree,
where they could see Ted-on the fence.
Then they knew what had happened.
We will pay him off tomorrow" said
one bird. He will sleep on the fence
and his brother will watch to catch us,
and think that will be the last time
they will try that trick"
Tim waited until he was tired, and.
being satisfied that the birds would not
fly down again that day, he awakened
Ted
The next morning Tim took his place
on the fence and Ted hid behind the
bush. but not a bird came down. He
could see them in the tree, but they
did not seem. hungry that morning. al

After a while the birds few out Of
the tree and cirCled around right, over
where Tim was sleeping on the fence,
and then suddenly they all descended
upon the sleeping Tim.

in town which advertise that they shine

Invariably there is a wash OF oxalic
acid used in the cleansing process. This
acid eats into the straw AMI will cause
ii to cr1Imble and break if 1t Is not
washed off at once. When the unfOrt-
unate hat comes from the cleaners It
presents good appearance and one is
inclined to laud the clever man with
kind words-but not for long. After
TWO or three days. the Panama becomes
of a ye!lowish tint. and the slightest
bending will break the straw and make
q tear as neat as IL II had been done
with a knife. That is because the hat
has rottcd with the OXalic a0d which
has remained in the straw. The only
hope is 20 wash the hat as quickly as
possible In lukewarm water and pure
soap.

Julia Murdock Tells of New Films
Planned for Moving Picture Theaters

early production is the dramatiZation Of
"Trilby," in which Sir Herbert Beer
bohm Tree is to appear in the part Of
Svengali. The play of ''Trilby," made
from du Maurier's book of that name,
has been produced all over England and
America for many years. and It is of
special local interest just now, as il
is the underlined attraction of the Poll
Players for the week after next. Sew
eral years ago a notable cast played
''Trilby'' at the Columbia Theater dur
ing the stock season of 1908. though at
the time, no especial notice was given
the fact that the players were more
than ordinarily talented.
In the cast were HiIda Spong, Wilton
Lackaye. and Charlotte Walker. all OF
whom have attained high places In the
dramatic profession since then.
The TriIby film will be made by the
London Film Company, an organize
ton which has for its specific purpose
the introduction of a high class of
photo plays. The head producer of
this English concern Is Harold NJ. shaw
in America, a director of the. Edison
company. and later with the Imp COM
pany. Sir Beerbohm Tree, 1t has been
announced. will appear in other films
in the near future.
