These names are familiar to you. 1t
is easy to imagine Farnum in the kind
of play he is most identified with. You
feel the breath of the great outdoors.
Then Hitchcock! Funny is hardly
the word for him! And in this play he
has broken comedy limitations, as we'll
as upset all known laws of gravitation.
And Fairbanks spells comedy of
charming sort to you who know the
theatre. For you smile as you think of
him. And in "The Lamb" he has excep-
tional opportunities.
Here is an evening such as could not
have been dreamed of until Triangle
Nights made it possible.
An entertainment that for produc-
tion alone will have cost over hundred
thousand dollars before the curtain
goes up at the Chestnut Street Opera

And all that is possible only because
It's tremendous cost will be shared by
every big city in the world.
But does that make it of less value

~APTAIN Jimmy Smith lived in
u funny little house down on
w. the beach. Once it had been the
cabin of his old schooner, Skim
mer; now it was the only home Cap,
tain Jimmy and his cat Vixen had.
In the summer time he sold fish and
clans and Holsters to the summer cot
tagers, but in the winter he had hard
work to keep the little cabin warm and
find food for himself and Vixen.
It was the day before Christmas, and
the beach was rough with ice.
Snow said Captain Jimmy, as he
left his little house and went up to-
ward the village. His pipe was be-
tween his teeth, but he was not smok-
tng-he was out Of tobacco.
He smiled sadly because he knew
that he would have a lonely Christ
mas. He had no wife or children, and
he was very much alone. The poor are
often forgotten.
By the time Captain Jimmy had
bought some -four and salt pork and
little coffee it was dark and showing
fast. So when he heard the sound of
children crying he stopped in surprise.
''Hullow shouted Captain Jimmy,
and the crying stopped at once. In
another minute he almost tumbled over
two little children who were running
along the beach path.
'Heave hop called Captain Jimmy.
and he put out long arm and gath
cred the little ones close to him.
What are you doing here?" he shout
ed, for the wind was screaming now.
They tried to explain, but Captain
Jimmy couldn't understand a word
they said, they cried SO much, and at
last, half dragging, half carrying them,
he hurried them into the warm little
cabin where he lived.
When the kerosene lamp was lighted
the two children stopped crying and
smiled at Captain Jimmy.
Are you Thanta CLAUSE" one lisped,
and the other little girl, who looked
exactly like her, giggled and chung to
Captain Jimmy's big hand.

Johnnycake.

In tracing the term '.johnnycake,"
says a writer, we find ourselves at a
time antedating by many years steam
cars and hotels on wheels, in an age
when mankind depended entirely upon
his four footed companions for trans
portation and had only saddlebags in
which to carry his luggage. Taverns
were few and far apart, and lunch
was always acceptable. Cornmeal,
forming so large a part of the dietary
in those days, held a chief place in
making up the lunch. Wet with water
and a little salt added, it was baked
in shape that stored away in the
saddlebags nicely and was called jour
neycake. This is the origin of our mod
ern, unconventional johnnycake.

Mr.. Frizzell said he was disappointed
over the manner in which the meeting

that the federation had no right to

-FOUR CONV|CTS ESCAPE
VIRGINIA PEN|TENT|ARy
Overcome Three Guards, Take Cloth
ing and Weapons
and Flee.

RICHMOND, Va, January 12.-Police
of several Virginia cities today are on
the watch for four convicts who es-
caped from the Virginia state peni-
tentiary here late last night, after
oyerpowering and binding prison
guard, an armed watchman and a shop
foreman. The escaped men are AL
Burton and Silar Atkins, serving long
sentences for second degree murder.
and H. l. Hamilton aand E. B. Hanley,
serving nine and eight years, respect
lively, for forgery and robbery.
Information gathered by prison off,
cials led them to believe the men are
making their way to Newport News in
an effort to board a cattle ship for
Europe.
The escape waJ discovered by Will
liam Bailey, a trusty, whose duties re-
Quired his presence in the vicinity of
the overall factory, where the four
men were working. Failure of the
night watchman to appear at the usual
time prompted Bailey to make an in
yestigation, which disclosed the three
helpless prison employees lying side
by side on the floor Of the factory
workshop.
Take Guard Unawares.
According to the story told by the
guard, the four men caught him un-
awares and overpowered and bound
him. Appropriating his two revolvers.
they waited for the night watchman
to make his rounds. A pistol pointed
at the latter's heart caused a prompt
surrender. He was placed beside the

man. who returned to the shop at this
moment, was effected with ease. and
the three helpless men then were
forced to watch as the prisoners pre-
pared to depart.
The prison garments quickly gave
way to shirts and overalls. A rope
was made from the cloth with which
the convicts had been working. This
was factened to an iron stanchion and
dropped through a window to the
ground, fifty feet below.
Then. after making the three cap
tives comfortable by placing impro-
vised pillows under their heads, the
convicts rified their pockets and re-
QUESTIONED their hats.
Hamilton. known as "the boy forger,"
stopped and kissed the guard.
"Bye-bye, old sport. good luck" ae
said.
The four then slipped through the
window and made their way hand over
hand to the ground.

Appropriations Discussed.
President Tucker discussed tho aues-

told OF the increases that had been al

say that the Senate had inserted an
item of 100000 for work on the Ana

government to enter into contracts for
an additional 100000.
Complaint was made about the mail
service in some portions of the north

had absolutely no complaint to make
about the service, his service being

Insurance Resolution.

W. s. Branson presented a resolution
bearing upon tho question Of insurance
rates. His resolution provides that
the Northeast Washington Citizens As
sociation regards the present fire in
surance conditions in the District de-
plorable and unsatisfactory, and re-
quests the Commissioners to take
speedy action to correct the glaring
evils of the present fire insurance situ-
alton.
That fire insurance has become a
public necessity Sud should be regu-
ton of rates, maximum rates, Uniform
ity Of commissions. etc"
In support Of the resolution Mr.. Bran
son said 1t appears that the fire in
surance situation in tho District Of Co.
lumbia is in chaotic condition, that
the laws governing fire insurance are
very meager and inadequate, and that
the authority of the insurance COM
missioner is mostly of a vaguely su-
pervisory character, with practically no
authority of a regulative or directive
nature.
"It appears that in practice" he said,
sentatives of the fire insurance COM
panies are, to a large extent, governed
more by what they think prospective
customer will stand for, after sizing
him up from the standpoint of astute-
ness, than they are by legal or moral
considerations, as evidenced by the
