Our Mutual Girl" Keystone Comedy

"our Mutual Girl" Keystone Comedy
Comedies may come and comedies
may go but it is doubtful if there is
ever such funny comedy as is shown
today at the Colonial. To be sure it is
a keystone with Ford Sterling, Fatty
and all the other merrymakers, Fatty
auto that goes through a brick wall
with five passengers is certainly
stunt to be wondered at. This Key
stone, Love and Gasoline" is far
above any comedy that has ever been
shown, even better than "Mabers Bear
Escape"
Our Mutual Girp' again pleased the
large crowds yesterday with her
charming manner and latest gowns.
She goes on a sightseeing trip and
sees New York City from Battery to
Bronx. 1t is as good as a trip to New
York to see this picture. 1t certainly
shows all the places of interest.
Maude Fealy scored another hit in
1.-The Golden Cross" a two-part fea-
ture. THE Eugenic Child is a picture
that all mothers should see. 1t deals
with the manner in which children

TROUBLE OVER cLoTHEsLiNE.
Fedory and Donchenko Families Air
Their Grievances in Court.

For the third time within the past
six months Judge Lancaster of the
municipal court was called upon Fri
day morning to settle a dispute which
had arisen between Polish families
who live on Mill street, and all on
account of that useful adjunct of the
household equipment, clothesline. 1t
would hardly seem that n clothesline
would be apt to cause trouble, but
evidently it sometimes does and pc
culiar fact in connection Herewith is
that those for whom it makes trouble
are always Poles.
In the case before the court Friday
morning the trouble was between the
Donchenko and Fedory families, who
jointly occupy a tenement house. the
Fedorys occupying the street floor
over a basement while the Donchen-
kos live upstairs. and Mrs. Harpina
Fedory was before the court to an
swer to a charge of malicious mischief
sworn out against her by Alexander
Donehenko, who alleged that on vari-
Gus occasions she cut his clothesline
and let his weeks washing down into
the dirt. Mrs. Fedory was evidently
indignant at being brought into court
anu pieGueu not guilty. kSilt was 1iSO
indignant at the complaint, as was
Mr.. Fedory, and the latter interrupted
the proceedings of the court to the ex-
tent that City Marshal Colgan had to
quiet him.
The testimony given in was mostly
in the Polish language and was heard
through the medium of an interpreter,
and from what was learned in this
way there seemed to be a disposition
on the part of Harpina to monopolize
the whole of the clothes yard, although
plan Of that area showed TO the
court that there was room enough for
the several tenants of the house to
use it. The plan showed two posts set
near the house and several hooks at
tached to the side of the house TO
which to attach the clothesline, there
being perhaps a dozen of them, ana
the court decided that if there should
he an even number of hooks the Fe-
dorvs should have the use OF haf OF
them and the others should belong
to the Donchenkos; also that in case
there should be an odd number the
respondent should have the extra
hook.
At the conclusion of the hearing
the court found Harpina guilty but
suspended sentence, at the same Tune
advising her that if any more clothes
line troubles were brought into court
there would be strong LIABILITY OF
somebody going to Jail.
That the feeling between the two
families was at the conclusion of the
hearing more or less warlike was evil
do,oad &c tho nrincipalS and their
friends who had assembled to near
the particulars of the cases LETT the
courtroom on their way home. AS the
party reached the street Mr. Fedory
became very abusive toward Donehen-
ko. using expressions in Polish that
could never be printed and which an

FRED LEvERE PARoLED.
Released from State Prison After
Having Served 10 Months.

Fred Levere, who was sentenced by
Judge Beane of the superior court at
the April term, 1912, to three years in
the State prison at Thomaston for
robbery, has been paroled after serv
ing Is months. He arrived Friday in
this city on the noon train. 1t will
be remembered that Levere and Henry
Gazette were indicted Jointly by the
grand jury for the robbery of gold
watch chain and ring from the person
of one Alexander J. Turner at the
Levere house in this city, April 81.
Both were sentenced to three years
but Gazette's sentence was increased
on account of the fact that when be-
ing led from the court room by a
deputy sheriff he threatened to fix
County Attorney Williamson when he
had served his time and do 20 years
for it." The prisoner was brought
back into the court room and a year
added to his sentence for his threat.
Levere stated in conversation with a
Journal man that he had no fault to
find with the way he was treated at
the prison. 1t was largely on account
of his good behavior that he was pa
rolled. He will have to report to the
prison authorities every month for
period of Is months.

Second Wind.

Among runners there is what is
known as Second wind and at times
when runner is almost tuckered out
he will hang ON till the Second wind"
comes. Then he will run longer time
and in better shape than he did when
he began his race. However he must
have a good strong heart.
1t is so in writing for Jingle Con-
test. This week several got their
second wind" Needless to say they
were not the faint hearted. The num-
Der of Jingles increased and the quail
ity reached high water mark for this
contest, and that is giving high praise.
This weeks mail brought in some
unique productions. There were ac-
rostic Jingles; some in rebus form
and many with eccentric arrangement
bringing eat the firms name. Best
Of all, II ere were more than the usual
number CT real snappy Jingles, and
the result is shown on this week S
page.
Now for the final squirt. There ought
to be an exciting finish and Jenny
Wren is looking for shower of win
ming Jingles. She would not be sur
prised if someone who has not had
a Jingle printed thus far would get
one in the last printing, one that will
also take one of the grand prizes,
too.
Make the finish a spectacular one.
