like it" He rages, he raves he threat ems to shoot; then the climax and he is pardoned
 For a short and lively meiodramatic skit. full to the brim of action, and resounding with lines which carry the weight of conviction with them to the audience, the choice for the new bill would be hard to equal in any com pany or on any stage An character parts are handled we'll. and all are character parts. Miss Grace Wilson, as the "Bowry girl" Miss Myrtle Fish CT. as the convict who is released from what she terms "hell," and Harry Siebert Smith and Lew Wheel CT. carry their parts with grace or vehemency as the case demands.
 Lew Wheeler is especially excel lent in his role When, at the point of the gun he has the opportunity of talking to the cowed warden whom he is threatening to shoot. when he tells of the prosecutions he has suffered for killing a man in the protection of his home and family. he holds the audience to a man with him" and so interested that they lose themselves in his daring words and acts.

CONVICT AND THE WARDEN OPEN NEW

Intensely Interesting PIaylet Is

 Twenty Minutes and PortrayS A Startling Prison Coincidence

The Convict and the Warden" was chosen as the production to grace the footlights of the Orpheum last even. ing by the Harry Siebert Smith com pany. lt was well received by the large house which turned out to see the change of bill, despite the rain and threatening weather conditions. It deserved being well received, for there were two parts in the produc- tion which are seldom eQualed on the stage
 Opening slowly and rather weakly the sketch takes on an air of indiffer- ence. But after the first few mo- ments during which the action is far from interesting the character woman comes into light, and the real action of the rather melodramatic skit com. mences. From that moment the aud fence is carried through the skit and there is none of the tagging or tirine feeling which draws with the first few words

SUFFRAGE PICTURES
 SHOWING AT ROYAL

"A Militant Suffragette" the Pathe Comedy's great hye-part story of the Sunragette cause in England is the at traction at the Royal Theatre for two days commencing with todays mat inee.
 This is an attractive picture in which the sweet harmonies of the home are vividly entrusted with the strife and turmoil in the life of a mil itant sunragette. Miss Asta Nielsen portrays the fighter for Womans cause and this in itself makes the pie ture worth while
 Miss Nielsen is nothing if not yer satile. she possesses the "verve" and daring which shine to special adyan- tage on the screen. and she displays more than ordinary lot of it in this production She holds the centre of the stage fifty minutes out of the sev- enty-fve required to present the pie ture.
 The first part of the production is devoted to showing the simple, but deep-rooted happiness which pervades the ideal household; the smiling and eager faces of children, the eternal delight of the mother in her offspring and all the strong and tender bonds that make the family the pattern of every perfect society. Then the scene changes to that of discontent born of vagaries of political feminism. The once sweetfaced, much beloved girl of the simple home life becomes a leader of the militant suhragettes af- ter hearing the wild oratory of her older and homelier sisters in the cause of Woman Suffrage.
 The picture portrays in detail the vigorous campaign being waged in England for the cause of woman suff- ragevwindow smashing and all the lawless depredations to which the mil itant suffragettes have resorted to gain recognition for their cause
 The last scene takes the audience back to the quiet domestic life and shows the home as the true sphere of Woman.

From visitors in Bisbee we learn that on last Friday evening Patagonia was visited by a rain which in sever. ity amounted almost to a cloudburst. and for about an hour the streets were running streams and in some places it was impossible to even cross or horses Luckily no one was injured or killed, but had the big rain come late at night instead of early in the evening, there would have probably been many fatalities

The Measles Abating in Colfax

The measles still hold on in Colfax,
but appear to be abating. There have
been fully fifty cases among the chill
dren, all told, the most of whom are
now up and about. and some of them
going back to school. The editor has
furnished couple Of cases at his own
home, his two grandsons, the elder
being out and ready to go to school
next Monday, and the younger recuper-
ating and hoping to follow in few
days. The epidemic, although quite
general, has been rather a mild type;
while some of the patients have been
quite sick, fortunately thus far there
have been no serious complications and
no fatalities. We hope this good provi-
dence will continue, and that the mala-
dy will soon run its course.

To Whom IL May concern.

We the undersigned citizens of the

the impression made by the twenty
signers to the petition published in the
Pollock News, to the effect that public
opinion in the said parish of Grant,
was against W. B. Harper, in which
young Hebert was killed.
We feel that there are two sides to
the unfortunate occurrence, and that
those who are not acquainted with the
whole circumstance should withhold

We feel that the petition referred to

Not a New Doctrine.

The New Orleans States, dis
cussing editorially some remarks
by a Missouri Judge in regard to
reading and non.reading jury
men, declares that the views ex-
pressed by the Missourian are
not at all new. Twenty years
or mere ago, {" says our contem-
porary, Judge Boarman, pre-
siding over q criminal case in this
city, took an Identical position.
When the district attorney per-
sisted in putting the old fashion
ed question to the jurors whether
they read the newspapers, his
honor interviewed. and, like the
Missouri judge, declared that he
wanted no juror to sitin his court
who did not read the newspapers.
A man who did not read the
newspapers, who did not keep
up with contemporaneous events,
who took no interest in public
questions, was not possessed, he
said, of the intelligence to serve
as a juror.
THE view then expressed by
Judge Boarman is the view now
followed generally by the best
judges. There are times when |
news of a crime is colored. The
public itself occasionally becomes
infamed over some unusual vio-
lent breach of the law. But in
a large majority of cases the
newspapers print both sides of
the story, and the man intelligent
to serve as a juror, if he
is honest, forms no opinion that
will not really yield to the evil
1ence as he hears it in court. -

In Memory of Mrs. Gates.

On the afternoon of Feb. II, 1914,
the death angel visited the home of
Bro. E. c. Gates, near Pollock, La.
and carried from earth the spirit of his
beloved wife, Mrs. Sarah Gates (nee
Tracy. Sister Gates was born in Ala
bama, Nov. q, 1854. She moved with
her parents from Alabama to Louisiana
at the age of three years. She joined
the Friendship Missionary Baptist
church at an early age, and from there
moved her membership to Pleasant
Hill, where she remained a consistent
member until death. She was among
the most faithful of the elderly ladies'
to attend the services of the church,
and her presence will be missed.
The subject of this sketch was mar
ried to E. c. Gates July 8, 1879, and to
this union were born eight sons and
one daughter, two sons and one daughter
having preceded her to the better coun-
try. She leaves husband, six sons,
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn her departure. To these we ex-
tend sympathy, and commend the grace
of Christ, which alone can comfort in
such an hour.
DEATH Oh what a terrible thought
to that mind which has never drank
deep from tho eternal spring of repent
ence which bubbles close by the broad
river OF forgiveness.
DEATH! Oh what beautiful word
to that tired soul which has been tossed
to and fro upon the restless crest of
earth's billowy deep. but tenaciously
clung to the Promises of God," for
we'll it knows that ere long life,s tide |
will follow toward the glittering shores
IF peace. and land it in the realms of /
bliss, where earths shams are forgotten
md Heavens beauties are everlasting.
