WITH THE MOVIES

More splendid material in which the Colonel figured prominently was ob- tained during the quaint ceremonies that attended the crossing of tie Equator, and when South America was reachedmotion pictures were talk en of Rio de Janeiro and the sur rounding country that marked the first turning os a moving picture cam era crank in that part of the world.
 The motion pictures of Col. Roose- welt in South America have already been prepared for representation by the Mutual Film Corporation, and will soon be enjoyed by theatre patrons throughout the United States and Europe.
 Carl von Hoffman had scarcely set foot again upon North America soil before he saw a new opportunity for adventure in the novel arrangement made by President H. E. Aitken of the Mutual Film Corporation with General Villa, whereby Mutual cam eramen were to accompany Villas army and secure secenes of strife on the firing line for the benefit of Mu- tual theratre patrons.
 For the first time in the history of nations motion pictures of actual bat tie scenes are being faithfully record ed by camera men and shown broad cast to the theatre going public of the world. And foremost in the thick of the fight where the bullets rain the most deadly is seen the twentieth cen tury soldier of fortune, Carl von Hoff- man. with his weapons discarded, and his steady hands guiding moving picture camera instead of a rifle.

Made Government See Point.

Lieutenant Waghorn found 1t dlffi- cult to convince the British postofflce of the value of the isthmus of Suez as means of shortening the letter route to India. He guaranteed to transmit a bag of letters to India and return with others to England in the same time that 1t then took the letters to go. He was granted permission to make the attempt, and difficulties at once cropped up. Coal at Port Said was $50 ton, at Suez $l00, so he load ed camels with coal and took them across the isthmus. When he reached Suez with the letters the steamer which he had arranged to meet him was not there This difficulty he sur mounted by chartering an open Arab boat and forcing the crew at the pistol point to take him the 600 miles down the Red sea to Jeddah, where he found a steamer to take him to Bombay, and the return journey re completed well within the time. Thenceforward the isthmus route became the overland route, for Waghorn was able to con vince the Arabs that the protection Of the mails was better than footing them, English gold being his strongest argument.

Kettles Proof of Mans Presence.

Kettles are said to be an almost certain proof that man has lived on the spot One British species. the so called Roman nettle, Is said to be found only where the Romans have been. Coles, the seventeenth century herbalist, explains: Tt grows both at the town of Lidde, by Romney. and In the streets of the town of Romney. in Kent. where Julius Caesar landed with his soldiers and abode there a certain time; and for the growing of 1t in that place 1t is reported that the souldiers brought some of the seede with them and sowed 1t there, for their use to rub and chafe their limbs. when through extream cold they should be stiff and benumbed; being told before they came from home that the climate of Britain was SO extream cold 1t was not to be endured with out some friction"

MARCH STRAIGHT TO THE SEA
West Indian Crabs SwerVe From Its Course.

In the rivers and fresh-water streams of the West Indian noun tains are quantities of crabs that scuttle away when anyone comes near, just like any ordinary crabs. But, as crabs go. these are very queer crabs indeed.
 When an American lady crab wishes to lay her eggs, she lays them without more ado and keeps them at tached to her body until they are matched. But not so her West Indian cousin. She lives In the mountains, but she feels that she must lay her eggs in the sand of the seashore. No where else will do
 So, once a year, all the West Indian crabs gather in a great army, which sometimes stretches 40 yards wide and more than a mile long. Then they set out for the sea, the males leading and the females behind.
 Nothing can turn this fierce little army from it's course. If house stands in its way. or wall, or a cliff. over 1t goes. Sometimes hundreds of crabs are killed in their tracks, but the host keeps straight on, turning neither to the right nor to the left.
 When the army arrives upon the seashore. the females settle down con- tentedly in the sand and deposit their eggs. And when the laying season Is over, the old crabs turn around and march serensly home.

MADE UP OF SMALL THINGS
eVen the Most Insignificant Words and Acts May Be Productive of
 Joy or the Reverse.

A wild birds song is a little thing lost in the deeps of a frowning sky
 And yet as it falls on a listening ear and leaves its message of melody. earths green seems brighter and life Is sweeter, all through an autumn day.
 he coo of a babe is a little thing meaningless sound from a vacant mind.
 But 'tis the only sound that all na- tlons heed; the one clear language all races know
 A mothers love is a little thing-too soon, alas, forgot
 But 1t typifies to blind humankind the love and trust and hope divine that bear with patience calm and sweet the wilful wrongs in these lives of ours.
 A passing smile is little thing lost in a world of toll and care.
 And yet the soul with gloom op, pressed and the life grown wearied With burdens hard will happier be In the after-glow of smile that is warmly kind.
 A kindly word Is a little thing-a breath that goes and sound that dies
 But the heart that gives and the heart that hears may know that it sings and sings and sings till at last 1t blends with the wild birds song, and the coo of babes in what men call the celestial choir.-Utica Saturday Globe.

Why?

The curate of a fashionable church was endeavoring to teach the signifi- canoe of white to Sunday school class.
 Why" said he, 'does a bride in- variably desire to be clothed in white at her marriage" ?" As no one an- swered he explained. White" said he, stands for joy, and the wedding day is the most joyous occasion of a woman's life"
 A small boy queried: "Why do the men all wear black?

.1VTRTIsING BY PHYSICIANS

r.;nc the midwinter Confer
 fODO ~ Public Health, Legislation
 en.' Medical Education of the Amerl- and ?. MsdjcaI Meg Association, held in Chi ca, no February 23 and "A, numerous 'asO' toms and editorial comments
 ns"Y "ored in the public press regard app' .l oup of the papers presented at trs ths Conference. The substance of the 's n,noner items was that the Amerl- is s Medical Association was consid- 's ar tbe revision of it's principles of M h;es with a view to removing or , aodifving the restrictions placed on individual physicians as to personal
 sarortisng. Some of the reports st.ted that revision of the principles of ethics would be taken up at once, and that an overwhelming majority If members of the Association were ;n favor of such a change. So far ss we know, says The Journal of ,he American Medical Association. tbore is no intention or indication of ,rv change in the position of the American Medical Association on this mestion; the reports in the newspa- rors were due to a misapprehension of the character of the paper in ques- .on and the intent of the writer. The paper was an argument for better understanding and closer CO., oueration between the medical profes- sion as an organization and the news paper publishers as a class. The au- thor did not advocate or discuss the question of personal advertising on
 the part of physicians; the proposi- ton set forth and defended in the pa per and presented to the Conference was something entirely different from personal exploitation; it was a plea for closer cooperation between medi- cal organizations and the press for the public good, and not for personal benefit. It suggested that the expert knowledge of the medical profession could be utilized by the public press in two ways; first, by the dissemina- ton through the newspapers of scien- tifc knowledge which would be of value to the public in preventing dis ease, and second, in placing at the disposal of those newspapers which desired 1t the expert knowledge of the medical profession in separating worthy and reputable from dishonest and disreputable institutions which nlght seek publicity through the newspapers.
 u these two important activities one has already been inaugurated by the American Medical Association, and the other Is worthy of serious consideration. Neither of them. how ever, has the slightest bearing on the qaestlon of personal exploitation of Fayslcans through newspaper adver- uslng or by any other means. An honorable physician could not con Sentlously advertise for personal bu- sAeSs' for the same reason that the a0nOra0le lawyer and minister could a0' advertise A professional man
 as no commodity to sell; his only as ssS are his scientific knowledge and ms personal ability; and he wao 'ains to possess greater knowledge greater skill than his professional sss0cla'es-whether physicians, prea. 'nerS or lawyers-is an egotist or
 IVfse' and forfeits the respect of both ls professional brethren and his fel- low citizens

The jury, after long deliberation, were unable to agree in a perfectly clear case. The judge, exasperated at the delay, said:
 'I discharge this jury
 One sensitive juror, indignant at what he considered rebuke, faced the judge.
 You can't discharge me-" he said with a tone of conviction.
 And why not?" asked the surprised judge.
 Because" announced the juror, pointing to the lawyer for the defcrse "I was hired by that man there

CONMONSENSE JUSTICE. is BOAST OF u S,
POLICE COURT IN MEXICO
BY FRED L. BOALT.

Vera CruZ.-Captain Erickson,
swart of face and coldly blue of eye,
holds police court daily in the Con-
stitucion.
To him the provo guard brought
Rafael, ragged and weeping. Came
too, Lorenzo, natty and of the upper
class.
Rafael and Lorenzo were duly
sworn. The captain followed the rules
of American judicial procedure as far
as he knew them. When in doubt he
perspired and made up rules as he
went along.
Rafael, said Lorenzo, was a thief.
He had stolen his bicycle
Rafael wept, if anything too copi-
ously, vowed he was innocent, and
called upon the Virgin and the Child
to bear witness that he spoke truth.
The interpreter, instead of putting
the courts questions to Rafael and
Lorenzo, got interested and tried to
explain to the captain just what had
happened. 80.
The captain sloughed off his judi
cial dignity and said:
"!!!!!!! it! We're talking in circles"

Lorenzo, tearing his hair, testified
and was removed to the lookup.
Rafael testified and was removed to
the lookup. Lorenzo was brought
back.
"This man." Numbered the court
to Lorenzo and pointing to Rafael,
says you employed him to repair
your bicycle and to put on new
tire"
Lorenzo said Rafael was seven
kinds of liar. Both tires were old.
HE says" continued the court,
''that you had him arrested for theft |
to get out of paying for the tire"
Lorenzo besought the court to |
place no reliance in anything Rafael |
might say. ..

The bicycle was fetched. On the
front wheel was a brand-neW tire
The captain made Lorenzo pay Rafae
two prices for it.
THAT" he observed, sis what call
common-sense justice"
We invest in navies very much as
some people buy pigs in pokes. That
is the way we bought ours.
Now for the first time we are per.
mitted to inspect our purchase. 1t is
a good navy.
Our servants aboard the warships
are efficient. They have porved it
But they are naughty servants, and
we find ourselves in the position OF
the neuVeau richie who is afraid of his
English butler.
Therefore we approach our serv-
ants of the navy with our hats in ouI
hands, saying please" prettily.
But there is quarrehng below

besides those of the navy.
One of them is Leander Poole OF
Birmingham, Ala, and assistant post
master of Uncle Sans temporary
postoffice in Vera Cruz.
Leander Poole is a veteran in the
P. O. service. AS our battleships are
used largely to carry mail back to the
States, Poole has dealings daily with
the naval officers.
He is an harrassed and busy man,
this Poole, and he has been getting
results by the shortest routes.

Haines, Alaska, Oct. 22, 1914 Editor Daily Alaskan :-
 In the Alaska Daily Empire ot October 16th, is a statement that Delegate Wickersham in his speech at this place, and in his talk with the people here, made promises in regarI to the :erminus Of the government railroad, and said that The terminus of the govern ment railroad should be here" Nov we, the undersigned citizens Of Haines, were present and heard Judge Wickersham's speech, and some one of us were with him almost continuously from the time he arrived until his departure, and wish to say to the voters of the territory that the statement publish ed by the Empire is absolutely false and without any foundation whatever
 This is what Judge Wickersham did say: That he could not work for any route for the government railroad, for the reason that tha> matter was left entirely in the hand of the president.
 Hoping that you will give this a place in your columns, to the end that justice may be done, and that the delegate may not be misrepre- sented.
