"Eugenics VS.. Love"
Beauty.

The directors of tho Battle River
Health Food Company sat medita-
lively inunching Ambrosiu flakes
while considering tho publicity prop
Dsition suggested by one Of their
number that they offer a prize of
$500 to tho first couple marrying in
compliance with eugenic require
| mcnts. As soon as they decided on
this step, UP jumped Squire Bumtus
announcing his son as 9. candidate
for the eugenic contest.
While these momentous events were
TRANSPORTING in the directors room,
the squire's son, commonly known as
"Squint," due To a slight optical de-
feet, was trundling down the road
, on his bicycle, with q small wagon
attached behind, containing the cpl
curean supplies for the Pemiento
family, which he delivered in person
from his employers grocery store.
This duty was no burden to Squint,
for at the Pemiento back door he al
ways met Maggie, the daughter of
tho house, than whom he thought no
girl was sweeter Maggie had an eye
for Squint. and two very good look
ing white arms, too, 1t appeared, so
the little episode of the morning de-
livery Of groceries was a pleasant &C.
casion all around.
Yet Squire Bumtus, knowing his
sons predictions Pemientowards,
proposed him for this eugenic mar
riage, which was q fell dastardly
thing to do, considering that Maggie
reached just nicely to the height Of
the husky Squint's heart, that she was
a lightweight, and that her hair was
as dark and curly as his.
The z ~ of the contest for femi-
nine eu".lidates saw such an assem-
blage OF muscular angular and cor
pulent feminity as moved the d.
rectors to gratitude that none of
them were in the contest on the OPP
posite side.
Out Of the chaos Lizette Petite. a
strapping damsel approaching the
seven-foot limit, emerged as cham
pion, and TO her the reluctant Squint
was led protestlngly. Up to the very
minute of the wedding Squint con-
tinued to protest, with Maggie, con-
sistently near at hand, adding her
objections.
Maggie was also present at the GER
emony, and just when the beaming
Lizette and the weeping Squint were
about to join hands, she flung herself
between them, grabbed Squint's arm
and ran with him out of the building.
Sauint's tears evaporated and quick
as a wink he popped Maggie into the
box behind the bicycle, mounted the
wheel himself, and pedaled away
down the road for dear life--and dear
kiaggie--beipg quite lost in a cloud

that Maggie and Squint were includ-
ed in the general rejoicing, receiving
never a word of reproof for their
permanent interference with the eu-
genie marriage.
"AN INFANT HEART sNATCHBR."
--Thanhoaser.
In this charming little picture the
Thanhouser baby, little Helen Badg-
ley, is the star boarder at the board
ing house. Her mamma is an actress
who has to go away sometimes and
everybody loves Miss Helen and tries
to make her happy. She is the es-
pecial treasure of three very cross
grained. crotchety old gentlemen who
clandestinely bring her gifts and pay
her board. When mamma decides to
take her away the old gentlemen are
so wrought up that they attempt to
kidnap her, landing themselves in
curt for their lawiess disregard of
a mothers rights. The Judge also
becomes a slave to the small lady's
charms and he sees q way out for
everybody's happiness. He draws the
plaintiff. defendants and objects of
contention in a circle about him and
suggests:
"Why don't you start a boarding
house and all live together"
The actress mods an enthusiastic
agreement. the old men assure her
that the venture will pay, the judge
beams benignly. and the central
small person smiles her favor to ali
of them.

THE LATEST IN PHOTOPLAYS

| Of dust before the amazed members
of the wedding party recovered suf-
| f1ciently to get to the door,
| Said Maggie, exercising a feminine
prerogative. you get a license and
We'll get married ourselves, now"
| So Squint hied him to the license
shop, where he was met by the stern
refusal, you amt old enough for
one OF them things"
Dejectedly he returned to Maggie,
who was still equal to the occasion.
I'm three days you will be twenty
one" said she, lets lSidnap Lizette
| till then. and they can't make you
marry her IL they can't find her."
So they doubled back on their trail
and found Lizette lonesomely wait
ing the return of the search party
with her errant bridegroom. While
she waited the said bridegroom Slip
ped silently UP behind her and incased
her head In a sack. Then he and
Maggie cramped the long Lizette into
the small box and transferred her TO
deserted shack, where they locked
her securely In. When the search
party returned they were confronted
with the mysterious disappearance
of the bride, which proved a far more
worrisome matter than the loss of
the groom. for Lizette's father was
angry and threatened unpleasant
things If the directors failed to re
turn his daughter safely.
The directors were so perplexed
that they almost forgot to MUNICH
their Ambrosia fakes while they
meditated over their situation. For
once they realized the close kinship
these flakes bore TO sawdust After
having swallowed a mouthful, one of
them finally spoke up: well, I s'pose
well have to go offerin' another re-
ward. Seems like when you once be-
gin 1t there's no end" he concluded
heavily.
IT s'pose 5000 will be a cheap way
out" agreed another one, lingering
Lizette Petite's papa's latest effusion.
Thus 1t happened that when Mag
gle and Squint passed the building on
secret errand they observed that a
reward of $1,000 was offered for the
safe return of Miss Llzette Petite.
Previous to this they had gone and
mad the matrimonial knot tied tight
ly, the three days having elapsed, and
their steps at the time were bent
toward that very Lizette whose pres
enee was so anxiously desired by the
board Of directors.
The abductors We're not in the least
concerned about Lizette, for they
knew she ought to be in perfect con-
dition, and such was their faith in
their health company that they be-
lieved she was. But as they jour-
neyed to release her, they consid-
eIed that announcement. and decided
that Lizette might serve them still
one more good turn, and with equal
profit to herself So when they
reached her temporary home. instead
of pouring flakes through the knot
hole. they poured an account of the
reward, concluding with the PROPOSE
