Forewarned.
Some time last year an economic genius
conceived the idea OF working a vast
labor-saving in the cotton fields of the
south by importing a quantity Of African
monkeys and teaching them to pick cot
ton. Monkeys, as is well known, are
most initiative and also very dexterous
with their fingers.
Hence, argued the business philanthro-
pist, with a little training these animals
would soon learn to perform this most
laborious of cotton field work, leaving the
field hands free to turn their energies to
more complicated labors.
ut was beautiful economic dream"
remarked Senator John Sharp Williams
OF Mississippi, in commenting upon the
scheme, land it appealed strongly to me

from an old planter friend of mine down

Just below her magnificent home
were the frowning walls. of Libby
prison, and not far off was the tim
island in the James river known as
Belle Isle Prisoners from thesefplaces
who escaped sought refuge in her
home and, there concealed, they re
manned till it was safe to flee at night
back to the army. Food, clothing, medi-
cal needs all were procured by her
money, which began rapidly to dwinde
before the enormous demands OF her
patriotism.
By a bold scheme she managed to
spy upon the president of the Con
federacy, jeff Davis himself. This she
did by means of a negro girl whom
she had sent north and educated. then
returned to Richmond to aid in carry

she worked as a waitress, and thus
heard conversation on all sides

carrying on her work of spy. but il
seemed impossible to expose her. Once

was anxious to send the paper. but was
this man really a Federal agent or
merely a Confederate in disguise trying
to fool her and secure proof of her spy
ing? She pondered, and at last de-
cided not to trust him. The next day
she caught sight of the same man
marching by her home at the head of a
regiment, starting to ION
the army in the field.
The front part of the noble mansion
in which she lived was entirely occu-

as a salon. but back of IT THERE was a

Observation-Disclosures.

One of the most unusual pictures
ever thrown on the screen will be
seen at this theater when the Kalem
two part feature production THE Cave
Mems War" will be shown on sun
day and Monday and featuring Ed
ward Clisbee. Billy Rhodes and
Paul Hurst. The story is of the
Stone Age and shows the invention OF
the first bow and arrow. Rex AK Is
crippled and driven from his people,
the Cave Dwellers. Strong Arm of
the Shell People rescues the man
and brings him to his tribe. Rex
AK later shows his ingratitude by at
tempting to steal his benefactor's
mate. He is foiled by Strong Arm
and returning to his tribe incites
them to attack the Shell People.
Strong Arm accidentally fastens the
end of his fishing pole together with
the line and discovers that he has a
new weapon at his command. The
savage then learns it's use. How he
kills his treacherous foe and restores
the shell people to their former pros
perity by means of the bow makes
a feature picture that no person
should miss seeing.
A comedy of the better sort is
