"rhe Birth Of a Nation"

In all things there is always one bes;
and to that one best all others Of its
kind are compared. In screen spectacl"s
that one best is admitted and proclaim
ed throughout the world to be .. w.
Griffith's grand triumph of the camera
The Birth Of Nation" the most gio-
rous spectacle ever presented to man
and expected to be the pinnacle of film
art for the next twenty years to coma.
One may have seen big productions in
photodrama before, for instance Quo
Vadis,' THE Fall of Pompeii,' Ca
biria" and others but before The Birth
Of Nation all Of these must bow. A
more stupendous. overwhelming blood
stirring and inspiring production has
never before been conceived and its
showing at the Opera House for an en-
gagement of three days commencing
Oct. 18th will undoubtedly be the signal
for a mighty rush of people to see this
vast spectacle of which such tremen-
dous amount of notoriety has been
spread throughout the length and
breadth of the entire country.-Advt.

to the city yesterday. The promise OF
fair weather and the threat Of colder

ton of the cold days ahead and Of the
necessity OF providing for the winter.
The plan Of holding the openings joint
ly seemed popular and many women
were heard to express themselves favor
ably over the idea While Of course
many were lust looking around" a
great many came to buy and trading was
lively all along the street where wo-
mems wares were sold. A word OF com.
ment on the beautiful window displays
is certainly in order. In conversation
with a man who is a close student OF
window decorations. the Journal vas in
formed that the trims would do credit
to any city in the country. The state
ment while very complimentary does not
seem to exaggerate. All day groups CT
shoppers were standing in front Of the
windows viewing the beautiful things
within.
Today will no doubt see still larger
crowds on the street to participate n
the event. United Fashion Shows will go
down in shopping annals as an impor-
tant event well worth attention and at
tendance.

Souvenir from Location of
10th Me: at Little Round Top

Comrade Thomas S. Benson Of the
may have been a tired man when he
called Wednesday afternoon at the
Journal Office, but he didn't show it..
He had just arrived on the express
on his return from the National G..
A. r. Encampment in Washington and
he fastened to the Office with what
looked like a piece Of old, weather.
beaten pine, about 10 inches long and
2k inches through. And, that Is just
what it was. though the story attach
ed makes it a heap more interesting.
Said Comrade Benson:
"A party Of us were at Gettysburg
last Sunday and we were having a
good time when one Of the park police
or caretakers came along inquiring for
goth Maine chap. Someone finally
pointed me out to him and up he
marched to me with the words Il
want you"
well, said !, If you want me you
will have to have a pair Of handcuffs,
but he insisted and told me to go along
with him, which / did, as he grabbed
me by the arm. When we reached his
team. he pulled out this piece Of pine
and told me that it had been part OF
a good -sized pine tree which had stood
directly in front Of the position Of the
goth Maine Infantry on Little Round
Top during the fighting.
HE said the tree had grown SO old
and infirm that 1t was blown down in
a heavy wind. 1t laid there for while.
until one day he wanted some soft
wood, and while splitting It up ran

terrible battle, and where the same
