Fifty years ago today the Confederate
cruiser Rappahannock, formerly the Brit

The Rappahannock was attended by
such ill-luck from the hour that she

The ship WIS formerly a dispatch ves-

proven a failure she had been offered for
sale at Sheerness, near London, and had
been bought by a commercial house,
acting on secret orders from Commander
William L. Maury, c. S. N, a naval agent

court.
Under the Judgment of the Court Of
Appeals, Gompers was sentenced to thirty
days in the Washington Jail, and John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison sentenced to
pay a fine of 500 each.
The case will be argued before the Su-

vessel down the Thames on the night CT

released by Warmers Features, Inc,
should satisfy in a measure, the public's
healthy curiosity about anything per-
tanning to motion pictures and par
ticularly with regard to the mysteries of
the studio. Practically all of the settings
for this unusual feature are in one Of
the worlds largest motion picture plants
and the action takes place while directors
direct, cameras click, and scene shifters
rush to and fro. The story has to do
with the exciting experiences OF a beau
tiful young girl who gets a chance to
act before the camera and quickly dis
tinguishes herself. She has her tribula-
tions, however, but before the conclusion
OF the third reel, a wealthy bachelor,
motion picture fan, has persuaded her
to abandon her career and become his

Estimating Your Supplies

In large institutions the time that
certain supplies last has been tested
down to a fine point. Only by know
ing very carefully how long certain
supplies will last can the army and
other large institutions buy intelli'
gently and thus take advantage of the
reduced price given on large orders,
While many women are good mana
gers" many more should more def
nitely test how long certain supplies
last the family under average condi
tions. 1t is possible to estimate how
long coffee, tea, staples, cereals, etc,
will last, and make large quantity
orders on which the housewife can OBJ
tain generous discount. But unless
this quantity buying is based on care
full estimates it will not result in the
saving of money and time 1t other
wise would.

HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Remarkable Case Of Devotion TO Homo
Shown by Nesting Meadow Lark
in Massachusetts,.

An ondearing trait in birds is their
love of home, and the bravery with
which they face danger in protecting
their eggs or baby birds. They seem
TO become very tame at such times,
not seldom a person who approaches
them quietly may, after few gentle
attempts, stroke mother bird as she
broods. But 1t is really courage, and
not enjoyment of the attention, that
she displays,
An interesting example of the strong
attachment of bird to its home, as
we'll as its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by meadow
lark that found itself day after day
under gun-fre, and learned not to
fear it.
At the practice grounds Of the
United States marine corps at Wake
field, Mass. some low mounds were
raised on the firing line On the
front side of one of these mounds
meadow lark built its nest, and had
laid its eggs when the seasons prac-
tlCe III target SuOOIIHS anu ShlI Al''A
drill began. The rifle Of the man ly-
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest, and not more than two feet
above it,
At first the birds would fly away,
when the firing skirmish line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued, they became accustomed to
the noise. They would wait until the
men came very near before flying, and
would return Immediately after. AS
the time came for the eggs to hatch,
one of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing, even If rifle
were held just above her head. The
marines were very careful not to dis
turb the little family. When the young
came, they were nourished amid the
smoke of battle, as it were, and finally
left the nest unharmed.-Youth's Com
panion.
