ton of Augustus Pitou, who ceased to

the close of last season, he usually
temporarily closed his during
the entire Lenten season at Which time
he took occasion to spend six weeks

permanently retired. Mr.. Pitou is

The oft quoted remark living on
wind usually implies living without
working. However. there is n coun-
try-and only one-that actually does
alive on wind and not f%iguratively
but in the truest and most literal
sense. Wind is indeed such a vital
factor in the country's life hat it
could not exist without it. That
try is Holland, where an army of
10.0 600 windmills work tirelessly, day
and night, to raise enough water from
the lowlands to pour it back into the
sea and thereby save the land from
inundation. Each of these Windmills
lifts 10000 gallons of water per min
ute to the height of our feet and the
10000 Windmills raise $4,000, 000, 900
gallons every hour in the incessant
warfare which Hollanders wage
against their great enemy, the sea.
When it is remembered that this ON
quest Of the sea has continued for
centuries, u]nstinted admiration is due
Hollanders for their perseverance and
ingenuity in Harvesting the wind to
save their country. 1t is only by
liitdlS vi liltSt lhiIuliltI iblc "illd-
mills that the Dutch first created
Holland. 1t exists today simply be-
cause they preserve it from the ever
present menace of the sea. Were they
to neglect or abandon their warfare
at any time, the country would i'm
mediately be reclaimed as the seas
own. Since the Windmills are so in
d~ispensable to the nations life, they
figure prominently in a remarkable
pictorial excursion through Holland to
be reproduced by Lyman H.. Howe at
the Harnois theater Wednesday, May
Z. Because of their inestimable value
in Holland, the Dutch plutocrat esti-
mates his wealth not by the bonds or
mortgages, but rather by the wind
mills he owns. Another conspicuous
phase of these views which render
them so unlike those Of any other
land. is the number of canals and
locks that are always in sight. They
constitute, in fact, the climax of Dutch
ingenuity. They prove that the Hol-
landers, not content by a mere con-
quest Of the sea, have actually har-
messed that mighty force to do their
bidding in time of peace when they
are the main arteries of transported
ton and irrigation, and at the same
time are SO cleverly arranged that. in
time of war, they could drown out an
immense army of invaders merely by
opening a few sluice gates and mum
dating certain sections of the country
In marked contrast to this subject,
is a vivid reproduction of the terrible
trail of the torrent through Ohio.
Many of the scenes We're photographed

end of the time if he was still on the
outs with the boss he must seek an
other job. The paper had one girl re-
porter. and contrary to precedent, the
city editor admired her. Womanlike
she understood the sitkfation, but knew
that there would be no romance in her
life, not even a proposal, if the city
editor was discharged. Therefore, she
hated the boss, oh, how she hated him.
Out on an assignment one day the
girl happened to pass a Cheap lodging
house n was surprised when the boss
came out, and went Town the street.
She saw the tenant who had been talk
ing with him, and recognized him as
one of the traction company's lobby
lists. Being a bright newspaper woman
she was convinced hat something was
wrong, and that perhaps she might
have a chance to checkmate her enemy.
On the impulse of the momen she APP
piled for accommodations and succeed
ed in securing the Dom Immediately
adjoining that Of the lobbyist.
a day or two later the lobbyist and
the boss were closing up "a business
transaction" which necessitated the
passing of real money. The door of
the next room opened, the men were
blinded by a flashlight and the girl
rushed away with a photograph which
meant ruin for the grafters.
The city editor did not lose HIS job.
Neither did he make up with the
boss" as he had been ordered. to do.
There was no necessity, for the boss
went to the penitentiary and was I'M
able to attend the wedding of the city
editor and the girl reporter, even had
he cared to 10 so.

the spider entangles his younger
brother, to save the lad he pretends to
return to his old love-, and thereby
loses the women he means to marry.
1t all comes out all right in the end,
but that we weave a tangled web
when first we practice to deceive is
made sufficiently plain.
The remaining films are: Wanted, a
Strong Hand and Laying a Marine
Cable" The latter illustrates what
few people know and all are curious
about, the actual name in which
these wires are strung along the bottom
of the sea. The Vitagraph company
took this film on a cable ship. The
comedy, Big Hughie Mack, and
Norma Talmadge, is in the vitagraph's
best style. The strong hand is want

madge. Hughie Mack, the fattest

ELKS' BIG SHOW

There is little use to do anv more
talking about the Elks' minstrel show
which is the attraction at the Harnois
w nights, Monday and Tuesday,
April % and 20. For a while it was
easy to explain how good the show is
to be, judging by the. rehearsals. Dur
ing the last few days these rehearsals
have become so brilliant and finished
that it is impossible to explain the
company's brilliance and finish. The
production must be seen to be appre-
ciated. Yesterdays seat sale indicated
that the theater will not he, large
enough to hold the first-night crowd.
But the second show will be lust as
good, n he who failed to get his seat
yesterday should worry. The
following program gives some idea
of the principal numbers about
which the production is built:

dollars worth of property. Whatever
may have been printed of the disas-
ter necessarily can give only the
faintest conception of its true magni-
tude when compared with this abso-
lutely authentic and graphic series.
The subject is treated with great rev.
erence and although it is edited" so
that no Objectionable incident is in
cluded, it imparts thrills of sympathy
for those who suffered by the deluge.
Another subject which affords
thrills of an entirely different nature
shows the blowing up of a mountain.
After depicting a series of preliminary
explosion fired in rapid succession
like a long line of artillery, two ire
mendous explosions occur which trans
form the mountain into an enormous
heap of debris. A thrill of still an
other kind-of anxiety for our fellow
mems impaired by scenes of the
amazing daring Of structural IRON
workers on the top-most Orders Of
skyscrapers along Broadway, New
York. How close death is lurking at
their heels every ome While per-
forming their work under conditions
so precarlous that a misstep possibly
of only an inch would mean a tragic
fall of over 600 feet, is &C .incingly
shown. Again another feature, anc
one that promises to make a direct
appeal because of its gentle charm
and n~aturalness, is a study of bird
life in the eXac hues and tints of ma
ture. The birds depicted are chat
finches ana tom-tits-timid and wary
creatures that are exceedingly difficult
to photograph because of their shyness
and distrust of human intrusion.

coming the rage, of the country. "The
