A Long Rest

An old club doctor, whose memory was
beginning to fail him, was called in to
see young man who was on the sick
list, says Tlt-Bits.
On arriving at the house he found his
patient in bed, with nothing the matter
with him but a slight cold. After pre-
scribing the usual remedies, he said:-
Now, my dear sir, you must stay in
bed till | come and pay you another
visit"
He went away, and forgot all about
his patient, and the time flew by.
One day the nj. D. came across the
young mans mother in the street The
sight of her brought his patient to his
mind, and with a start he said:
"By the by, how is your son getting
on?"
To his amazement, she REPLIED
He is still in bed, and they bring his
club money every week.
He had been there three weeks.

ficials here as the reason that no news
reached the state or war department to-
day regarding the battle reported in prog

Some doubt was expressed as to the pro-

seeking to cross the line into Texas
The state department has given no in
structions and made no requests looking
to any different treatment for such
refugees than was recorded to federals
driven across the line several months ago

Tex. In those cases the soldiers were dis

the state.
For the first time since the dispatch

craft of three different nations are in
the same Mexican port. This interna-
tional fleet at Mazatlan comprises the
Japanese cruiser Idzuma. the British
cruiser Shearwater and the American
cruiser Pittsburg and the supply ship

have seen a Citizens Alliance button

The proceedings were held in the hall

MIR DESMOND FABIO AND HIS WORK

Now, what is a moving-picture machine

q name given to a moving picture machine !
I am going to try to reply to these children 5

YOU will know that here Is a branch OF mat

in Introducing tins branch, the teacher must
have told YOU a little Of the science winch
treats of motions apart from their causes,
and that science you were told too, Is called

word meaning 'Io dG&crjbe', gives the idea

Mr.. Fabio is r descendant OF the good
old stock of this Islaud. He has travelled
extensively in Europe and America, IS an eX-
pert automobile man, something of an cleo
trician, and lastly a cinematograph operator.
Nh. Fabio's machine Is the latest but one OF
its kind in the world. He travels with an
electric plant-an up-tO-date motor-drlVen
engine-whicb, with a current OF llo0 volts

plies the machine with current sufficient to
maintain a 5000 candle power arc lamp,
which penetrates the films.
About the 1st programme. Among other
things shown were adjective Roberts Peril,
and the Coronation Of King George V.
These exhibitions were the most perfect ever
seen here. The audience was greatly rellev-
ed of the painful necessity OF rubbing the

of the machine was steady and the pictures
