The Universars magnificent presen-
tation of the photo-Grama, Damon and
Pythias.' which is at the Majestic this
afternoon and evening, is shown in six
parts, each surpas ssing the other in
beauty as it's spectacular scenes Of
Greece in the days of her pomp and
glory are shown in massive stage set
tings. No spectacle was ever so com
pletely staged so accurate as to locale
and so thoroughly in accord with the
sublime story as this one. The palaces
Of "Dionyslus," the gardens of the villa
of Damon" the city of Syracuse, the
Senate House. the public places, the
forum and the great amphitheater are
perfect representations OF classic Gre
clan architecture which has moulded
itself into every building or days since
the fair country ruled the universe.
Added to this the great battle scenes
on land and sea, the games and chariot
races, before thousands upon thous-
auds in the circling amphtheater of
the stadium. the mobs and assemblages
are all handled with an activity which
fills the pictures with the spirit and
dash of real life. Damon and Pythias"
are ideali2ed and are portrayed by
players who are every inch the noble
senator and the triumphant warrior
whose devoted friendship has been the
lesson of loyalty through all the ages.

BEYOND YOUR KEN.

The other day a man was heard dis
cussing upon the Kingdom OF heav-
en-" From his words one would have
thought that he was an undisputed
authority. When he was done his
hearers were no wiser than before he
spoke. Man can explain and define
many things but the Kingdom OF
heaven is beyond his ken. All we
know about this mysterious place Is
what we read and believe Or what we
have been told by people who knew
from reading and believing or having
been told. Unless our thoughts turn
childward We become hopeless in our
belief.
There is In child something 80
pure, so much removed from the sor-
did and selfish tendencies Of the world
that 1t is perfectly natural to accept
his belief as the true belief Of the
"kin gdom Of heaven" The master
doubtless realized this when he said,
"of such is the kingdom of heaven -
Never attempt to air your belief or
explain the wherefore OF the great un-
known. You will never be able to en-.
ter the kingdom Of Joy hereafter or
upon earth unless you become as 2
little child. a

Minnesota far outranks all other
states in the mining Of iron ore, and
during the last four years has con-
tributed both in quantity and value
considerably more than half the iron
ore produced and marketed in the
United States, according to the Unit
ed States Geological Survey. In 1913
the total marketed production Of iron
ore in this country was 59,643,0sS long
tons valued at $3.50, 9O5, 55s, OF which
Minnesota contributed 36,603,331 tons,
valued at $sO,7s9,02 In 1912 Mime
sofa produced 34,249.s 13 long tons OF
iron ore. valued at SCI, s05.017. Be
cause OF its great wealth in iron ores
and of their extended development,
Minnesota ranks ninth among all the
states in the total value Of its min
eral production. The value OF the
iron ore produced in the state repre-
sents considerably more than 80 per
cent Of the total output. The value OF
the mineral products Of Minnesota In

that the door OF progress would be

assigned Captain Dreyfus to a COM

declared that no opportunity OF en-
enlargement looking toward the
emancipation OF the Russian Jew

change Of attitude toward the Jew. It
Is hoped that the pledges which have
been made will not be broken.

RANDOM SKETCHES
one Hundred and One.

It is q rare event when one OF thu
good pioneer mothers reaches the
century bead In the rosary OF their
years. SO rare that such an occurapce
becomes memorable incident and il
worthy Of permanent record In the re-
gion where they have lived for years
and helped to bring Iowa to its presen
agriculture, Industrial and civic prom
inence.

county paper with no object In view ex'
cept to pass few leisure moments in
hurriedly running up and down the
laborously prepared columns Of this
exchange from one Of the propesper-
GUS counties of the state. when a
halt was called while was read a
short news story with this caption III

Birthday. A birthday has interest for
everybody. It is an epoch in every
mans life and he who does not rever-
ence birthdays-well, he had better
never to have been born-and then
how happy is each recurring anniver-
sary OF that notable event.
The venerable and respected old
mother who celebrated her birthday
anniversary in the story under tha
modest caption, was Mrs. Lois Randall
Bloomfield, Iowa, and she had passed
the century mark and was one humid
red and one years old on Thursday.
October 8. She has a little home not
far from the public square and there
were present at this interesting event
her children, grandchildren and other
relatives and numerous friends. Did

eupied by the Superior
Court.

A number Of changes are to be made
In the immediate future In the city
hall offices. Most Of the work will be
done at the expense Of the owners of
the building. although part Of 1t will
be at the expense Of the city.
The Offices OF the mayor and com
missioners will be moved to the large
room now occupied by the superior

fices for the commissioners partitions

be done ct the expense Of the city.
The superior court room will be
moved to the front corner Of the build
ing. The room now occupied by the
city engineer and two other rooms I'm
mediately behind It will be thrown to-
gether to make one large room for the
superior court.
The Office Of the city engineer will
be moved to the room now occupied
by the mayor and commissioners. The
city clerks Office will not be changed.
At present there are two halls lead
ing from the top Of the stairway from
Seventh street running to the Main
street end Of the building. One Of
these halls viii be included in the
superior court room.
Before the addition was built on this
building the superior court, then
known as the city recorders Office,
occupied the space in the building to
which the superior court will be
moved.
It is thought the changes will make
the offices at the city hall much more
convenient than they are now. The
office now occupied jointly by. the
mayor and both commDssioners Is en-
tirely too small. while the new offices
will be ample in size and much more
convenient.

EVENING PRAYER OF A PEOPLE.
Lord, from this storm-awakened isle,
At this dark hour on land and sea,
.Twixt bugle-call and Sabbath bell
Go up our prayers to thee
For the long years of sanctuary
We tender thanks, Lord,
For peaceful fields and sacred hearths.
And the unused sword.
Thine be the praise. And now when
quakes
The world, and trials come,
O God, preserve inviolate
Our ancient island home
@ had we died untried, improved,
And missed this hour Of stress
Praise be to God for this last gift:
The joy of steadfastness.
Where'er our people be tonight,
Our husbands or our sons,
Tossed on the thunder-bolted deep,
Or biyouacked by the guns;
Who tread the mire of foreign lands,
Or guard our native coasts,
Be thou their shield and comforter,
We pray thee, God of Hosts.

NO COMPENSATION
FOR WOODEN LEG
Workmsn Of Iowa Can't Expect None
II They Lose Peg

workmen Of Iowa afflicted with a
wooden leg need not expect compensa-
ton should the artificial member be
lost in the course of employment. No
such case has come before the indust-
rial commission, according to Henry
e. Sampson OF the attorney generals
office. but the courts OF Michigan have
set a precedent which in all probable
tiles would hold good in Iowa. They
refused compensation to q man who
lost his wooden leg. Under the Iowa
law a workman who loses real leg
is entitled to maximum weekly wage
of $40 for 10 weeks.
