John Drew, in his new success,
"A PerpleNed Husband" ut the
Tacoma Thursday night.
The summer motion picture
season at the Tacoma theater
which opened last Saturday is no
doubt going to prove a great sue
cess II we may judge from the
excellent patronage thus far ac-
corded and the evident apprecia-
ton of local picture fans.
AS a special feature for the
week the management has en-
gagged the famous Chinese tenor,
w. X. Lai, who will appear dur
ing each performance starting
Sunday. The new bill which
opens Sunday includes the two
part Selig feature, THE Change
of Administration" an excellent
Edison comedy; "A Shower of
Slippers, Vitagraph drama
THE Power that Rules" and a
two-subject Pathe reel, "Whiffles
Tries Moving Picture Acting" and

treause of France"

the end. a. far as the power In him
might lie. 1t was thus that With the
primitive dfrectness Of his reveren-
tial love for the girl, he counted no
sacrifice too great in her behalf. Joe
Carson was not = good man. as the
world esteems goodness. On the con-
trary, he was distinctly an evil one, q
menace TO the society on which he
preyed constantly. But his good
qualities. II few, were OF the strong
est fiber, rooted in the deeps OF him.
He loathed treachery. His one guilt
ness In this respect had been, curl
ousIy enough, toward Mary herself In
the scheme Of burglary. which she
had forbidden. But in the last analy-
sis here his deceit had been designed
to bring afluence to her. 1t was his
adherence OF trcachcry among pals
that had driven him TO tho murder OF
the stool pigeon In 9 at Of ungov-
ernAble passion. He might have
stayed hie hand then but for this
gusty rage that swept him on to the
crime. None the less had he spared
the man his hatred OF the betrayer
would have been the same.
And the other virtue of Joe Carson
was the complement Of this-his own
loyalty, loyalty that made him for
set self utterly where he loved. The
one woman who had ever filled his
heart was Mary, and for her his life
were not too much to give.

Strenuous chivalry.

1t is complained that modern cOndi
tions are killing the chivalry of the
middle ages" But medieval tales
and romances show what that chivalry
really was. Wife beating was a com
mon incident on the part of those
knights and gentlemen whose gallantry
was a mere convention. The ChevaleT
de la Tour Landry in his book of cOun-
sells to his daughters tells them the
story Of a woman who used to contra
dict her husband in public. One day,
after expostulating in vain, he knock,
ed her down. then kicked her face and
broke her nose. And So" comments

ured for life. and thus, through her in
behavior and bad temper she had her

fortune to her" But not a word is said

the presence of the fleet, which he
considered a violation of the neutral

beginning of the war, and to the detri-
ment Of Montenegro The premier con /
tinued:

are calculated to strengthen the admi
ration held for the deceased monarch
on account of his benevolence and sim
plicity. aS we'll as his wisdom.
at one time wrestling was a favOrite
paStime at the Japanese court and his
majesty was able with ease to throw
all the court attendants and officials.
One man. however. Yamaoka Tetsu-

emperor because he was afraid that
the lltter might become too proud of
his prowess in that and other sports.
Finally the emperor challenged Yama-
Okla, and the latter threw the sovereign
with great force.
The monarch. so the story goes, was
not too pleased at the defeat but was
too good - sportsman to say anything.
Later Yumaoka resigned his position
at court on the plea that. though he
had defeated the emperor for the good
of the throne and the country. yet in
doing 50 he had subjected his sOver-
eign to a heinous indignity. The mon
arch however. absolutely refused to
accept the resignation. saying:
