Mrs. Simpson-Jones wanted to be-
come suffragette, but her husband
objected.
But" she pleaded, eff you only

meetings. Ali about referendums, and

"I've said no, and that ends it,!
snapped Mr.. Simpson-Jones. IF you
women want to find things out why
don't you follow the advice of St
Paul and ask your husbands? You
women are such fools"
This was too much for Mrs. Simp'
son-Jones' long humbled spirit.
That's just the trouble" she re-
turned. Women have been asking
their husbands for the last 1000 years,
and they're still fools. Exchange.

Kids and Goats,

A newspaper man in Chicago is FOND
of greeting his children at night WIFE
the salutation: Hello, kids" For
some time past the girl, half past fVe,
has felt that this was too informal to
comport with her dignity.
Daddy" she said, few nights ago,
we're not kids. Kids are young
goats"
The father passed this off without
comment. Next evening he made his
usual greeting. The young lady had
worked out the deduction by that time.
Daddy" she said, If we're KIDS,
you must be a goat. Are you?"
He agreed that he was.

ponular Child Actress.

Kathie Fischer is six years old and
was born in Oakland, Cal. She is
niece of Margarita Fischer, leading
woman of the Beauty" brand photo
plays, and appears with her aunt in
these motion pictures. Miss Kathie
inherits most of her talent from her
gifted mother, who is known on the
stage as Mary Scott. This little maid
also has been favored with the careful
tutelage of her popular aunt, in whose
care she has been left. Kathie is dark
and has big, expressive eyes. AL
though a natural coincidence, in seri-
Gus drama the child has an intelligent
grasp of the meaning of the theme
and the sentiment to be conveyed.
She has enacted parts in many photo
plays, the principal ones being: why

Villa In the "Movies."

Motion pictures of General Villa and
the constitutionalist army in Mexico,
taken at the front and under fire, are
being shown. The films are martial
enough to satisfy the keenest taste,
and that Villa, usually accepted in the
United States as bandit, is made to
look pious hero, detracted little FROM
their thrilling quality.
1.-THE Battle of Torreon and the Life
of General Villa" is the title of the
films. The first reels are given up to
various views Of the fighting which
preceded the constitutionalist victory
in the north. One gasps at the temer-
ity of the camera men who made the
pictures, for there are actual scenes
on the firing line, and bullets and
shells are getting in their deadly
work.
In the second part of the entertain
nent what purports to be the true his
tory of Villas life is given. A pious
orphan, with two sisters dependent
upon him. he is the victim of the fed
erals, and swears revenge. His rise
to power is shown step by step, UNTIL
at the head of the rebel army, he wins
victories over his foes and completes
his vengeance.
The acting in this latter part is
done, not by the general himself, but
by an actor made up to look like
him Some Of the scenes are over
drawn, but the setting always is good.

POINTS ON PALMISTRY

Large hands mean a close attention
to minute details.
Strong, knotted fingers show pru-
dence and capacity.
Broad nails show the owner to be
bashful and gentle.
If the palm is too large the person is
coarse and animal-like.
Intellect belongs to knotted fingers,
grace to smooth ones.
Smooth, conical fingers are a sign Of
talkativeness and levity.
A palm too slim, narrow and feeble
indicates instinct without capacity.
If the outer Joint Of the fingers
forms a knot the person has we'll
arranged ideas.
The hard, wrinkled hand, which is
opened to it's full extent with difficulty,
shows intractability, a mind without
phancy.
The individual who has knots at the
middle toints Of the fingers always has
q place for everything and everything
IN its place.
The person whose fingers are
smooth and pointed is guided wholly
by inspiration and never has a reason
for what he does.
