chIvalrous Man Probs bly, Made Few

A woman with Is bundles boarded

I helped her upon the car and piled
her bundles about her A man got on
at the same time and took seat on
the other side Of the young lady.
When the car came to my street |
was surprised to see her rise and be-
gin to pick up her bundles. Instantly
my sense Of chivalry prompted me to
help her off the car, and, as was
going in the same direction, asked
permission to carry her Is bundles.
The man got off also and started on
ahead. / was loaded down like cam

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
Snares, TO Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With Oil
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult Of all
animals to traps, and it is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable curl.
osity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set" is one Of
the best. When man makes camp in
the forest the wolves, if there are any
near, are sure to note his whereabouts.
When he has gone they trot up to in.
vestigate the ground, and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying about The campfire
set" is made as follows: First, hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground, just
large enough to take the trap. and per
haps five inches deep, Cover the trap
with sheet of brown paper, and over
this fill the hole with damp earth,
Then light fire on the top of it, and
into the fire, as it grows low, throw a
few scraps of raw meat.
Should wolf come along to inves.
tigate the place. he is sure to scent
the cooked meat, and will start
scratching in the ashes for it, thus. OF
course spriuging the trap.
One Of the greatest difficulties in
wolf-trapping is to hide the aforesaid
.teIltale scents, SO keen is their sense
Of smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked in oil or fat are used,
and it is best to smoke the trap over a
"smudge' fire before setting it, and
then inclose it in paper bag. II

FINE SOUTH AMERICAN FRUITS
In Argentina the Grape Has Been De-
veIoped-chilean Apples Rank
With the Best.

In Argentina the grape is the fruit
which has attained the greatest com
mercial Importance, and the Mendoza
country seems to lead all other sec
tions. The net profit from vines in
good bearing condition is said to be
about $17O per acre. In 1910 the pro
duction of wines was 92,674,OO gal
Ions, valued at more than $25,0OO,000.
Leaving Mendoza and passing over the
barren heights of the Andes at an alti-
tude OF more than 10000 feet the trav-
eler arrives in Chile. One seems to
have reached another California. There
are many similarities, and all Of the
fruits grown in California are pro-
duced in Chile, probably in equal per-
fection, but with far less care, and the
industry lasylot developed as in North
America. e graz INDUSTRY is a
large one, Ind a godl qaality is pro-
duced, most Of which is consumed at
home. The apple grown in Chile is
said to rank with the finest in the
world.

ONE OF sHUBERT-HRADY's BEST
PRODUCTIONS WILL BE
SHOWN THIS EVENING

Mother Shubert-Brady theatri-
cal production Of most recent date,
which the World Film corporation has
adapted for presentation in movies,
will be shown tonight only at the
Browne theateI. The play is in five
acts and is one that win touch the
heartstrings of those who witness it.
Following is a review of the produc-
tion from the Moving Picture World;
Emma Dunn plays her well known
part, the mother, in yhis picture of
Jules Eckert Goodman's play Moth
er, which is offered by the World
Film corporation. 1t is a picture of
a mother and her family. They had
been rich but the the rather had died
and now, with all their acquired ex-
pensive habits, they are poor. The
mother role which Emma Dunn
plays with sincerity and truth, has a
long and heart breaking battle on her
hands to keep the family ship from
wreck Both her older boys fall in
love with adventuresses and come to
grief through this weakness She
has two daughters who are a good
help to her and there are twin boys
of about 12 in the family who made
great hit in the play and furnish
pleasant, humorous relief in the pic
ture.
1t is the oldest son who is the
greatest cause Of trouble to her At
the time of her husbands death he
has just graduated from college and
is of the age when he might do good
work if he would; but has more abil.
ity to get into trouble and straight
way does so to the limit. He is in
love with a soubrette but now lacks
money--his mother has discharged
her servants and can give him no
more till the next quarter day. The
girl plays ON his poor foolish hearts
jealousy. He steals MS mothers
necklace; the soubrette thinks him
still rich, and, both being full of
champagne, she marries him. The
mother reads about it in the papers
and calls on the girl While the pic
ture is full of excellent scenes that
show the genius of Emma Dunn, her
exit from the apartment of her sons
wife is bit of dramatic work that is
fine. The oldest son has completely
made a fool of himself and now the
younger son needs must fall in love
with the chorus girl sister Of his
brothers wife. The older son to pay
his extravagant wife's old debts steals
from the bank, is found out. and
forges his mothers name to keep out
of prison. The mother says it is heI
signature and poor as she is paysthe
debt. Both her boys become wander
ers and have very hard lesson; but
| it is salutary and in the end the moth.
er wins her battle. 1t is a strong
picture of real conditions and is an
offering that many will be glad to see

These valuable elements do not eX-

Of diet is so well able to prove its

in the form of "Force" Usually a
