Mrs. Charles f. Johnson wife of Sen
ator Johnson Of Maine, is one of the
women who 90 not permit the social
demands of a season to interfere with
her enjoyment of birds and trees. Like
Mrs. Edwin r. Sweet. wife of the as
sistant secretary of commerce. Mrs.
Johnson knows the botany of school girl
days from cover to cover. Like
Mrs. Sweet. also. she knows a great deal
more than is contained on the We'll
thumbed pages of this text book on bot
anv. for during twenty-five years or
more of intimate acquaintance with out
door life She has learned many nature
truths for herself.
At Mrs Johnsons summer home at
Belgrade lakes. Me. she and Senator
Johnson have for years played hosts TO
their friends of the feathered tribes
Food and drink for the birds are put
daily in the trees on their place and are
every day consumed with evident relish
by tteir little guests. Mrs. johnson
knows all the birds and wild flowers OF
her home state and during the three
wears that she spent i'll Washington since
her husband was elected to the Senate,
she has not relinquished her outdoor m
terests and activities.
If Mrs Johnson has a hobby besides
her love of birds and wild flowers II is
for the work being done by the Daush-
tiers of the American Revolution. she
has been an enthusiastic worker Tor all
sorts of patriotic causes for the past
fifteen years, and also member OF the

the coming national convention to be
held at Continental Hall during the

office Of vice president general
1t is appalling to think. says Mrs.
johnson. what "A meager knowledge Of
American history many of the younger
generation have. ! suppose they learn
the dates and names of revolutionary
war battles when they are at school, but
these can mean nothing very vital TO
them. else they would not be forgotten
so soon. If every American mother
presented to her child in a vivid and
picturesque way the story of the found
ing of the American republic: if she
made Washington Jefferson. Hamilton.
Webster. Clay and other statesmen real
heroes to her boy and girl instead OF
SO many names. why she would endow
her children with the priceless heritage
The Daughters of the Revolution have
done a great work in founding also the
Children of the Revolution. but every
American mother should feel it part Of
the duty of motherhood to teach her

DAVIS THEATRE.
Special For Monday, Tuesday ane "Wednesday, The Million Dollar Mys- tery The Big Prize Photo Play.

At the request of many patrons who eeuld not see this great picture when 1t was shown for one day only, the management have secured it for three days each week, beginning today, and every Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day hereafter. The Million Dollar Mystery has created a furore among photo play fans never before ex- perienced and that it is going to be the most popular serial is already as- sured. Episode number three which will be shown the first half of this week is just as interesting and thrill ling as the two episodes that preced- cd 1t, the title of this chapter is The Safe in The Lonely Warehouse. The following is a brief synopsis of the two reels shown today:
 Reports having come that an ocean steamer has brought ashore a strang- CT rescued from wrecked balloon with S5.000 in his possession Nor ton sets out to find him. What he learns leads him to a warehouse. Prin- cess Olga, disguised as Florence. in tervfews the captain of the ship and learns of Norton's activity. The scene then shifts to a reception in the As tobflts magnificent ballroom, then to the bar-room of low saloon, then back to the lonely warehouse where several members of the Black Hun dred" are gathered before an open safe. It is here in the black darkness of the warehouse, in some thrilling action, they are trapped like rats Only one, Braine, escapes.
 Faster grows the action and more spectacular the sensations as each ep- fsode of this stupendous production is revealed upon the screen.
 $10, ,00o.o0 in cash will be awarded for the best loo word solution of this mys- tery.
 In addition to this great picture there is a special feature called The Painted Lady, a two reel Majestic pro- duction, with Dorothy Gish. Blanche Sweet and an all star cast. The Mu- tuaI Weekly and other Mutual Movies including The Sky Pirate, an extremely funny Keystone will also be shown Messrs Boyle and Ckaig will give their usual high class concert programme. Bargain matinee daily at 2.30, and 10 cents. Always cool and comfortable.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Excellent Vaudeville and Photo Play
 Features Today.

The show for the first half of this week Is the kind of bill the Audi torium has built up its present popu- 1arity on, and the great variety offered both in the vaudeville and photo plays is sure to meet with the rdent approv- al of the many patrons of this old es- tablished house of entertainment.
 Murdock McQuarrie has been getting to be quite favorite with the picture fans, and today he will be seen in an entirely different character than last week. Her Grave Mistake" is the film he appears in.
 The Beau BrumTnel of the screen Bob Leonard, win next appear in a two act Rex drama entitled, The House Discordant" This picture raises the interesting question, ''can a2yonng woman be satisfied with a husband nearly twice her age" The answer Is. cleverly supplied in this film.
 Rube comedy is always sure- fire, that is the greatest majority of theatre pa irons have a worm spot for the quaint rural sayings and doings, and when S Fly and Mary get started, the laughs will come thick and fast. Harry Mo- Gowan, who next appears, is a great favorite in New York in the many rSthskellers and cabarets of that city Norwich people will get an idea of the entertainment provided by 2ectors Shanleys' etc, of New York, when liar ry lets loose in catchy melodies.
 Dfd you ever try to lift a large wa gon wheel or a plough? If you have you may have some idea of it's weight The Great Kins- Ners, not only liftssuch weighty articles as these, but juggle them, and balance them. This act rep resents one of the greatest combina- tfons of strength and skill, now before the public.
 Universal Ike Jr and the Vampire g is the name of the comedy film that will send everyone out of the theatre with a smile on their face. and Bobby Fsuerher as Ike Jr" Is perfect scream.
