his family left needy. 1t has been
carted around the great system and

of intoxicating the solid principles and
lessons of the safety first" campaign
1t is announced that a series of
moving picture shows will be provided
at the Panama-Pacific exposition In
San Francisco, to illustrate work OF
the government departments. The de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time been doing experimental work,
looking to the extensive use of moving
pictures to educate farmers, chicken

Joke on Comedian.

who ever told you that you could

Thomas Persons of the Selig Jungle
Zoo, picking up remark dropped by
Comedian Sid Smith.
well, | may not be so much, but
l am open to a proposition said
Smith, who can fall off the break
water in his winter clothes and swim
to shore in an ocean storm.
These proved fighting words, and
the wager was arranged on the spot
to the effect that Sid could not swim
the Los Angeles river. This is a very
ancient joke with natives, but many
newcomers bite" After the money
was up the crowd adjourned to the
Los Angeles river" which was just
ankle deep at the time. Smith ragged
up and down the bottoms endeavoring
to find pool sufficiently large to take
a few strokes, but failed. His money
vanished before the crowd concluded
its laughter.

WAR ADDS TO CITIZENSHIP
Large Increase Noted in Application
for Naturalization Papers in
This Country.

An increase in the citizenship of this
country was not among the many and
multifarious predictions made at the
outbreak of the European war, but
such has occurred, especially in the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania,
according to reports from that section,
the New York Times remarks. 1t is
said that a great number of applica-
tons for first citizenship papers have
been filed since tho war began by for
eigners, who for one reason or anoth-
er wish to be allied with neutral ma
ton. None of the mining companies
in the region, according to report, has
complained of the loss of many labor
ers by the return of reservists, and
some mines are carrying more men on
their pay rolls than at this time last
year.
The laborers in the mines represent
many different countries. One COM
pany recently reported that its aver
age number of employees last year was
1872 men, of whom 1884 were Rus
SLAMS, 2,141 Poles, 1,165 Tyroleans, sos
Austrians, 751 Lithuanians, 500 Ital-
ians. 522 Slavs, 247 Hungarians, 100
Greeks and 1884 American born or
naturalized.
1t is the English employees holding
the higher positions in the mines who
are going home because of the war, it
is said, and it is these who are diff
cult to replace, because most of them
hold positions requiring miners GER
tifieate, which, under the laws of Penn
sylvania, 1t takes man three years to
obtain. The English are going home
in greater proportion than the men of
other nations because they have more
money and can more easily reach their
country.

Marguerite Clayton's Fad.

Marguerite Clayton has a new d.
version and one in which she is in
tensely interested. It was by mere
accident that it became known the
other day. The pretty little woman
who has gained worldwide prominence
by her mannerisms on the screen,
while playing opposite Mr.. G. M. An
derson, in the Western Essanay
dramas, it is said, tells fortunes by
teacups.
Heretofore she has been known to
spend hours over books written by
the best authors. Her artistic bunga-
low at Niles is lined with them. A
saddle horse is at her disposal and
she loves tennis and the fishing rod,
but of late all these things have been
temporarily laid aside to seek new
pleasures in the visions peering at
her, SO she says, from amid the tea
leaves.

IN. de Fouquieres is too meticul-
GUS in his elegance she said, with

a baron, he advances six steps. When
it's an equal he does not advance at
all, and when it is an inferior-an
American, say-he actually recoils!
"Oh, yes, M. de Fouquieres is ridic-
ulously meticulous. Once, en- route
from Paris to Trouville, when he was
little boy, lady gave him a choco-
late cigar.
"'And what will you do with it?'
the lady asked.
Little Andre put the end of the
chocolate cigar in his mouth and rose.
"Tll go into the smoking compart-
ment and eat it, he said. "-Minneap-

the crowds at the beach we're the

WAITS CHANCE TO GET EVEN
Popular Film Actress Is Thinking Up
Schemes for Dire Revenge for
Practical Joke.

Lillian Walker, the athletic girl of
the Vitagraph company, and Billy
Quirk, the boy comic, are now sworn
enemies, the enmity dating from Oc-
tober 1. Billy, knowing of Miss Walk
er's antipathy for snakes, played a
joke on her that resulted in the pres
ent cessation of friendship between
the popular pair, and now, Miss
Walker says, that until she can think
up something severe enough to war
rant a retaliation, and carry it through
to success, they will not speak as they
pass by in their automobiles.
Billy secured a property snake,
which was as lifelike as human in
genuity could make it. He placed the
imitation snake in the new pump m
the studio yard and, by alluring tales
OF the cooling and refreshing prop
critics of the water, induced Miss
Walker to pump herself glass.
It took only few motions of the
pump handle for the snake to ap-
pear and as it came wiggling from
the spout, Miss Walker emitted a
piercing shrek and, woman-like,
tainted Billy, frightened at the re-
suit of his joke, ran for help, but just
as he returned, Miss Walker revived,
and waving aside Billy's proffered as
sistance, walked majestically to her
dressing-room, where she spent the
rest of the day bordering on the
exact form of vengeance to be melted
out to her tormentor.
