SHORTY'S SACRIFICE.

HORTY leaves for the West

- dry. high country where his
mothers cough will improve.
Without funds, he is obliged to en-
gage passage in a sidedoor Pullman.
He takes refuge in a wood-box and,
when the trainmen search the train
for hoboes, Is thrown from the
moving freight by tie tramps, who
wish to hide in the wood-box
themselves. Angered and bruised
Shorty joins the trainmen in the
battle royal which follows. The
tramps are locked up in a box car
and upn arrival at the next town
are taken before Ned Dorne. a
banker who also acts as magistrate.
Dorne gives the ringIeader of the
hand a stiff sentence.

Cleaning Out the Medicine
~ Chest ~
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.

-HERE are several small tasks
which belong to houseclean-
ing time, but which had
better be done before 1t II
possible One of these IL cleaning
cut the medicine chest. This Is
small. interesting task which re-
quires quiet and which can be done
some afternoon before the Great
Upheaval
At this time look over your stock
of medicines and zee IL there are
no empty or half-used bottles that
should be thrown away. Medicines
that have been opened or exposed
to light are often spoiled and at least
every six months should be care
fully examined. 1r you are eff
cient you will have q small pre-
scription'' book in which to keep a
copy of all prescriptions or formulae
before You throw away the bottle.
Do you know that there Is a square
poison bottle?' You can get It IL
you ask for 1t, and It will then help
distinguish the deadly from the
harmless KINDS OF medicines. 1t Is
also better to use a piece OF cloth
over the cork of d poison bottle as a
further protection against careless
less and haste.
Boxes of opened pills and powders
must also be carefully examined. All
the Rochelle salts and Seidlitz
forms deteriorate rapidly, and the
chance is that those you have now
have lost their efficacy.
Many housekeepers use the small
glass spice jars for keeping their
drugs alright. Fitted with labels,
they afford the best way to keep
many salts. powders and capsules.
Indeed. nothing tends more to the
order of the medicine chest than la
bels which can be bought in all
sizes and which will make bottles
uniform and. II well marked, save
time in handling
II there are such supplies as gauze
and absorbent cotton, they also can
be kept in alright glass Jars far
better than in the opened carton,
which does not protect the contents
once II has been opened.
One housewife fitted the inside Of
her cabinet door with a small strip
OF wide tape, divided into sectional
pockets. Into each pocket she slip
ped the several rubber nozzles, eye
dropper, etc, which are always fall
ing of a shelf. Then she wrote
out and had typed a list of poisons
and their antidotes and tackled this

Photoplays for Use
AS Lantern Slides

A substitute for lantern slides used
to suggest the removal of hats, that
an intermission is due, that there
will be a big show tomorrow.
etc. has been prepared by the Edi-
son company in the form Of short
photoplays that suggest the same
thing. The title of each picture is ?
practically the same as the lantern
slide that was formerly shown.
Practically all of these are comedies.
They include:
Ladies Will Please Remove Their
Hats'-Two men enter a theater,
take their seats. and gaze delight
ediy at the performance. In mo
ment or so, two women, wearing
enormous hats, come in and take the
seats directly in front OF the men. At
first, the women refuse to remove
the offending articles OF apparel,
but at length after urgent entreaties
on the part of the men, they give in.
Somebody's Baby is Crying in the
Lobby'-The/ baby Is several sizes
too large for the carriage. which Is
possibly why II Is crying. After the
usher has tried in vain to quiet it,
the mother appears. beats the infant
and gives 1t bottle OF milk. The
size, but she Is a very capable per-
son tust the same.
Loud Talking Offends Some
Ears'-A peaceful rural scene show
ing two four-footed actors with I'M
usually long ears. If the loud talk
ers in the audience are aggrieved
at being obliged to look at a pair OF
donkeys, so much the better.
mission'-Two women, facing
the camera. exchange comments on
different people in the audience.
They don't seem to think much Of
anybody until at last they look di-
rectly into the camera (and hence,
of course, straight at every specta-
tori. Then they nudge each other
and bow.
Good Night, Sweet Love''-The
father appears at the window and
smites the lover on the head with
large club. The lover starts in some
surprise, but keeps on singing. FL
nally. after repeated blows, he takes
the hint and leaves.

~ETER ERLANGER, who has
l. been commissioned to secure
i plans Of fortress by stealth.
meets Karolo, an attractive
gypsy, and sees In her g. valuable.
ally. BY reason Of her fascinating
dancing, Karolar has charmed Lieu
tenant Ipanoff. who is stationed at
the fort. Under the pretense of love.
the girl is to gain access to the fort,
gather what information she can.
and at an opportune moment steal
the coveted plans. A surreptitious
meeting before the walls of the for
tress is arranged between Karola
and the susceptible lieutenant.
On her return to Peter she is able
to give him much valuable informa-
ton. Subsequent visits develop in
the heart Of the wild girl a fond
ness for the officer and she Is on the
point of abandoning the scheme
when she is influenced by the urging
of Peter. and the promise Of much
money, to continue. While in 1pa-
noff's rooms. a fellow officer calls
and Karola hides behind the curtains
Soon she sneaks out and gains en-
trance to the office of the comman-
der of the fortress where the plans
are kept. She takes them and not
being able to get out of the fort,
returns to Ipanoffs apartment Ac-
cidentally the papers fall from her
dress, the deception is discovered and
in defense she urges that homeless
wanderers such as she have no
realization of a crime against her
country. Meanwhile the command
er has detected the loss and immed-
lately seeks out Ipanoff. who is sus-
pected because he had been seen
with Karola before under peculiar
circumstances. Following a DRAM
attic scene, the gypsy girl escapes,
but the Lieutenant, after being court
martialed, IS condemned to death as
a traitor. Karola has returned to
the band of gypsies. She reads in
a newspaper that the man she has
come to love is to be shot at sun
rise and hUrries to the fort, hoping,
by her confession to prove his In
nocence. She reaches the walls Of
the fort in time TO fall, weeping,
on the bullet riddied body Of Lieu
tenant Ipanoff.
