nature ana pleasurable entertainment.
OF all that has been written of him
since his death week or ten days ago,
probably nothing better expresses the
real idea of the place John Bunny held
in the minds and hearts of all who
knew him personally or upon the screen
than the following lines by Vachel
Lindsey of Springfield. H., printed in
the Chicago Herald.
An Epitaph for John Bunny
Yorick is dead. Boy Hamlet wakes
forloIn
Beneath the battlements of Elsinore.
Where are those quiddities and oapers
That used to set the table in roar?
And do his bauble-belis beyond the
clouds
Ring out. and shake with mirth the
planets bright?
No doubt he brings the blessed dead
gold cheer,
But silence broods on Elsinore to-
night.
That little elf, Ophelia, years old
Upon her battred dolls stanch bos-
ON Weeps,
ooh. best of men. that wove glad fairy
talesD)
With tear burned face at last the
darling sleeps.
Hamlet himself could not give cheer
or help,
Though firm and brave, with his boy
face controlled:
For every game they started out to
play
Yorick invented in the days of old
The times arc out of joint, oh, cursed
spite,
The noble jester, Vortex. comes no
more.
And hamlet hides his tears in boyish
pride
BY some lone turret-stair in Elsinore.
Not so. but here in Springfield's crowd
ed street
The grocer's children miss their
hearts delight
The proud young newsboy bears a
heart of lead;
The children of the wise and soundly
bred
And children of the ragman mourn
the:- dead.
John Bunny acts upon the films of
night.

PONY MARKET OPENED
BY AN ADVERTISEMENT
Anything Can Be Sold Through Col
umns of Republican

The problem of the market has
been solved; it is necessary only to
advertise in The Republican. The
other day a resident had a pony to
sell but this was not the pony season
and he was wondering whether he
could reasonably hope to give it
away. The people who conduct the
auction houses all said that they
would do their best but they could
not promise results
1t was finally decided to advertise.
the pony in The Republican not with
the expectation of selling him but in
order that the owner might enjoy
the consciousness of having per
formed a duty; of having gone
through the form of doing his best
to free himself of the pony
The advertisement appeared last
Friday morning. The owner left
home early that morning and forgot
all about the advertisement until late
In the afternoon on his way home the
street car conductor asked him if he
was the man who had a pony to
sell: he wanted one for his children
and would call around the next
morning to see it.
Arriving at home he found his
wife in a state of collapse, overcome
by the unfamiliar duty of conducting
a horse market. The first caller ar
rived at nine o'clock. He liked the
rony but it lacked some inches of
being sixteen hands high and some
pounds of weighing 400. Other cal
lers kept coming: sometimes there
were two there at time Between
and s o'clock two more proSDective
buyers arrived. In the meantime
some who had been there earlier in
the day came back to look at the
bcny from tie other side Nearly ali
OF them said that they would be
back the next morning with their
minds made up. Some people made
inquiry by telephone about the pony
ard still others sent word by special
messenger.

presentation of the picture at the
Superba Theater in Los Angeles, and
took part in the movement that led
to the arrest of Manager Quinn of that
picture house on a charge of making
an illegal display of the picture of
Miss Edwards, gave her views in these
words:
so far as entertainment and ar
tistic value are concerned. 'Hypocrites'
is all right. 1t is a very beautiful
picture. In condemning its exhibit
ton here | was actuated by several
motives. 1t arouses vulgar curiosity
as will be noted by the crowds of
men and boys around the display in
front of the theater. | think the
moral effect is bad and that a dis
position to allow it is certain to
lower the standard of moving pictures
While 'Hypocrites' teaches a lesson
it also tends to harden the heart
toward the churches which should not
be. 1t is not picture which would
be shown in a high school or a
church. Personally. however, 1 was
thinking more of my children and
other peoples children when l voted
against allowing the picture TO be
shown. The possibilities of the NOV
ing picture are great and if we allow
such exhibitions where are they go
ing to stop?"
And j. Harry Pieper, president of
the Los Angeles Advertising Club.
said:
The picture is most interesting and
entertaining and | am positive that
no man. woman or child could find
anything offensive in it. 1t surely
teaches a strong moral lesson and the
introduction of Truth points a moral
in an emphatic way. | do not hest
tate to say that it would be doing
the public of Los Angeles rank
injustice to deprive them of the OPP
portunity to profit by the strong
moral taught.
And Manager Mace insists that the
picture will be shown as scheduled at
the Arizona and that if no more than
ten people see it he will feel that he
has helped those ten to a broader
vision of life and better idea of Truth

BACK TO THE FARM
FOR Mr.. CREIGHTON
Will Resume Agriculture With Ranch
Improved and Well Stocked

That eminent agriculturist. James
Edward Creighton who has been
spending the winter in the city as a
! temporarily retired farmer will short
ly return IL his ranch nine miles south
west of Phoenix. All the time he has
spent here since the gathering of his
crops last fall has not been devoted to
busting the hayseed out of his whisk-
ers. He has been experimenting the
erection OF a handsome house on his
ranch and he has at the same time beer
engaged in an experiment which has
been watched by builders with great
interest. His new house of concrete
IS nearly finished and ready for occu-
pancy The concrete instead of being
mixture of cement and gravel is a
mixture of tufa and cement. This
idea was originated by Architect Gregg
more than a year ago. 1t is lighter
ana il is believed that it will be less
liable to crack than ordinary concrete
1t is also believed to be less of a con-
ductor of heat and cold
Mr.. Creighton has also been enga ged
in stocking his ranch. His four footed
possessions are listed by him under the
heads of covey of pigs under the chap
eronage of their mamma: a litter of
chickens, a brace of cattle and a team
of sheep.
Mr.. Creighton is endeavoring to dis
pose of his real estate possessions in
the city; that is he wants to sell one
house and lot and rent another The
house for sale is one that ought to APP
peal to any careful buyer who has the
money. The house is described as be-
ing connexions and kind to little
children and family broke"
