They Keep the KEYS.

Visitors to Tangier and other settle
ments of Morocco notice the keys that
are carefully kept In safety in the
houses of some of the families of an
cient descent These keys belong TO
the houses in Spain once occupied by
the MOors before their expulsion from
their homes many centuries ago The
Spanlards occupy these old houses, but
the descendants of the Moorish owners
still guard the keys In the hope that
the day will come when they can re-
turn to Granada and once more resume
control of the property from which
they were driven.

Heroic Conclusion.

The Swede knew that he was incom-
petent. but he needed the Job very bad
ly indeed The farmer saw at a glance
that he was a green hand. but he was
urgently In need OF help So an ar
rangement was made. After dinner
the farmer sent his new hand down to
plow field and few moments later
followed him. Peering from the con
cealment of a clump of Dishes. he OBJ
served for some time the frantic but
futile efforts of his hand to run a
straight furrow. Finally the Swede
came to a discouraged halt, mopped
his brow and addressed the horses
YEARLY.
"Oh. well. then. go wherever you
please!' he said sit all ban got to be
plowed anyway."-Everybody's.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF

with local treatment, pronounced 1t incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

IN CAMP AND AFLOAT.

"Afoat and Ashore in Casco Bay"
is the interesting title of an illustra-
ted article in September Outing
The author, William Haynes, who
summers at Cliff Island, is YER
satile writer and lends the thrill of
reality to his work because he writes
of personal experiences. His humor-
Gus references ito the "Souse," a
sixteen footer in which the trip was
made, and her single cylinder en-
CINE which suffered alternately
from hiccoughs and asthma" are the
amusing side of the story. The
author was accompanied on this
cruise by his brother-inlaw, Mr.
Kemp B. Bachelor of Baltimore and
in the Illustrations the pair are
shown in several good situations, in
one of which Mr.. Bachelor, known
as the Sailor, is digging clans siren
uously by hand. Bushels of them lie
thickly in the sand of the shore
where this particular camp was
made. The illustrations are from
photographs made by the author and
are typical of Casco Bays remote
places. References to the many ru-
mors of buried treasure which have
always been held true by many
of the seafaring men of the Bay,
give another interesting side to the
article.

BIRTH OF A NATION.

Immense audiences are greeting
the performances of 1.-THE Birth of
a Nation" at B. f. Keith's theatre
this week. This climax of motion
photography depicting scenes of the
Civil War and the Reconstruction
period in the South Is staged on such
a magnificent scale that the beholder
senses awe at first.
1t Is a picture wonderful from an
educational standpoint, and so dra-
matte that 1t holds an audience as
do very few dramas either upon the
stage or upon the screen. The enthu-
siasm of those who watch this great
spectacle play is almost as inspiring
as the scenes themselves. AS one
man they applauded to the echo
when the Stars and Stripes we're
planted over redoubt in the battle
scenes, and when Lee signed papers
of surrender at Appomattox, while
when the Klu K1ux cIansmen swept
into the rioting village, quelling the
1iproar as by magic, the excitement
reached its highest pitch, and men
and women applauded until their
hands fairly ached, while the boys in
the gallery stamped and shouted
themselves hoarse. Not one person
attempts to leave the theatre until
the concluding strains OF "The Star
Spangled Banner" is played.
"Thd Birth OF Nation" is pre-
sented with a cast of film favorites

an English scientist declares that
women's feet are growing smaller He
claims that study Of former types of
feet goes to prove that the feet of mod.
ern people are more shapely than
those of their ancestors or those of
the savage races. Perhaps, after all,
the mistakes Of Hitting shoes have
not seriously deformed the general

any concession to the men except of
