While a broken-down. gray-haired OLD
fellow is silently sweeping snow in from
of a prominent club, one Of the ciup
members decided TO take him In 10 en-
liven the evening with a story OF his
life After taking a drink the old Pan
rs induced TO tell OF his life's story. The
club scene fades out and the spectator
is carried into the wilds OF the Great
Northwest when snow is on the ground
and in the air.
1t was thirty years ago. While pros
pecting in a binding snowstorm the man
lost his way and with the map OF a
valuable strike cIasped tightly in his
hand he was buried in the snow. Ihe
man has a sweetheart who loves him
much and fears for his safety. This girl
is loved by Arcon, another miner. On
the promise that she will marry hun.
Arcon starts out with his hunchhack
to find the missing man. They return
with him more dead than alive, but nor
before stealing the map. The hunchback
demands his share while the two men
are in an adjoining room. Arcon binds
and casts him into closet and then
forces the prospector's sweetheart TO go
ing that she loves another.
When the miner RECEIVERS he is told
the story by the hunchback, and in a
FRENZY OF unbelief he kills the cripple
Broken in spirit and with his life wreck

After ten years OF hard labor a pardon
comes. He makes his way from camr
TO camp. playing the piano and singing
for a living. always with the purpose
in his mind OF killing the man who had
wrecked his happiness
As the old man comes to this part Of
his story, one of the club members who
had been moS5 prominent in poking fun
at him, starts violently. Turning around.
the miner of former days sees standing
before him Arcon, now a prosperous and
respected citizen. The shock OF the
meeting and his fright causes Arcon to
be stricken with heart failure. but before
he dies he places the hand of his dauSh-
ter in that Of the man whom he al
wronged. and tells her that the old and
dying tramp is the only man her mother
had ever loved.

The Dayton convention didn't lose very
much time in taking up the censorship
situation 1t was one Of the first things
considered by the convention-and IT win
probably be under consideration until the
end. Incidentally the whole tone Of the
convention is emphaticaIly against any
form OF censorship. Wee In Washington
are blessed with only a police super-
vision Of the films shown here That
Is bad enough. but IL isn't as bad as a
little board Of eensors all our own. New
ertheless. we have TO see pictures here
that have been mutilated and spoiled by
the censors of other cities. And after
all "censors" are only fussy human be-
ings who feel that they MUST slice and
cut plCluTcS 10 pieces. regardless OF
whether they need IL or not. otherwise
they won't be doing their duty. Gen
orally they slice and cut indiscriminate-
ly. Anyway, that Is better han laying

Those who associate Charles Bennett,
OF the Keystone Company, with comedy
work only should recall the time when
he was with the Vitagraph. creating such
remarkable character studies. He was
master of the entire range-pathetic
humorous and villainous. Being one of
the best all-round men in the business,
he has all the more to put into comedy.
His work in Keystone subjects, now
drawing so much attention, is the result
of a wide experience and inherent dra-
matte versatility. He has proven his
ability by covering the entire field Of
stage art.

SUN-DRIED FRUIT.

Them for Winter.
Unquestionably sun-dried fruits and
vegetables are better than most pre-
served foods. Yet the many difficulties
in drying them out Of doors in this cii-
mate prevent most people from consid-
ering It. Yet nothing is easier IL you
own a hot-bed, such as you start early
vegetables or flowers. Lay a floor on
top Of the earth, spread a clean cloth
over the boards and the fruit, or corn,
peas, or beans on this After placing
the articles TO be dried in the frame,
put the covering sash back on 1t, taking
care to raise both ends about two inches,
to give free circulation of air over the
fruit, for the air carries on the moisture
and prevents the fruit burning. Insects
cannot stand the heat in this frame. and
rain cannot reach the fruit, although 1t
Is advisable to put the sash tight on
the frame in case of storm.

when the dress or frock is of a charac-
ter that it requires the white. These
petticoats are made prfctly plain and
straight, and the edge finished either
with thread lace or with a buttonhole
scallop.
Morning Dresses should Be Simple.
In an outfit of this kind. after the
underclothes have been arranged, the
next thing TO be given consideration
is the morning house dress. This, like
the other clothes, should be as plain and
inexpensive as possible, but it must be
attractive. For this. colored seersucSer
can also be used, but most women will
prefer some of the pretty colored linens
that shops are Offering. There are also
the plaid, striped and plain ginghams.
that are much cooler than heavy linens
With materials such as talked of from
which to select. there is no reason why
one cannot have several pretty and
practical morning dresses.
"BunnIow Aprons" Smart and Prar-
tIcaI.
Model No. shows a garment that
is specially designed for bungalow wear.
It is known as the bungalow apron" and
is intended for wear either as a dress
or as an apron. When it is to be used
as an apron only, it should be buttoned
at g. back but when intended to do
Sc. as either a dress or apron a side
front closing will be the prettiest and
most practical way of finishing it. Those
who wish to copy this apron and who
are unable to procure a pattern may use
as a guide for cutting an ordinary one
or two-piece kimono pattern. The pat
tern will probably have TO be taken in
- - slA
so as to give 1t the straight lines shown
in this apron dress. 1t may also be
necessary to take the sleeves in a little.
and to cut the neck higher than in the
ordinary kimono. The strap across the
hack and the pocket take away all ap-
pearances Of a negligee.
Dark coIors should be selected for these
dresses, as they do not show soil as
readily as lighter ones, and may be worn
longer without laundering. Solid colors
will be pretty for the garment, and a
plaid or striped design for the trimming.
The collar which is made of the trim
ming material, is a simple affair that
is rounded at the edge and shaped at
the neck. The other trimming pieces are
perfectly straight bands. The buttons
used for the closing must be Of smoked
pearl ,about the size of a scent piece.
Comfortable Outing Frock Inexpen-
sfve.
Perhaps the most important dress of all
is the outing frock. This must be pfac-
teal, good looking and smart, as well
as comfortable and inexpensive. This
dress may be entirely of. linen, or the
skirt can be Of hsht-weight French serge.
and the waist OF linen. The latter, on
the whole, will, perhaps, be the most
satisfactory, and the skirt will be little.

The wedding took place In Lincoln

Flag Day There Has New Become the
Great National Festival.

Great National Festival.
In the republic of Brazil, where the
ruling language is Portuguese and a
welcoming hand is extended alike to
the European and the Asiatic immi-
grant. great attention has been paid
for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
The cult of The flag has become more
and more ardent in the hearts Of
that people, and the feast of the flag
each recurring November is celebrated
with more and more pomp and enthu-
siasm all over the immense empire and
ON every Brazilian ship, wherever it
may be. In country noted for its nu-
merous saints days the celebration of
Flag day has become the true festaI
day.
Commenting on this, lie Bresil Eco
nomique of Rio Janeiro says: "Our
people are imaginative and simple. A
flag undulating in the breeze as il
passes by to the strains of martial
music, that the officers salute with the
sword and before which everybody un
covers, speaks more strongly to the
heart of the people than any dry his
toric date which presents nothing il
the concrete and which to the ignorant
recalls nothing of significance"
The lesson Of the flag is taught to al
the children of the schools in Brazil
and on Flag day they gather in the pub
lie squares of the city and town and
as in the United States, sing patriot,
hymns.-Indianapo News.
