Readin' and 'Rithn1etic Help Keep
Child Actors IN "Bluebird" Busy
When They're Not on the Stage

likes The Blue Bird" best of all be-
cause il has fairies in it.
When she played out in Lincoln,
Neb, Harriet SO won the heart of
Judge Starr that he wanted to buy
her outright for $4,000. And he isn't
the only one who has wanted to do so.
according to Harrietts mother. She
seems to have the dangerous knack
of ensnaring hearts. She has won "a
score during her brief stay at the
Oliver, having enslaved the entire
routine of bell hops. walters and ele-
vator boys, TO say nothing of the
guests.
Just previous to the interview she
had been playing store with a travel
ing man, the one who sells ladies'
dresses, you know" she confided to
the reporter. 4 sold dresses TO him
and then 1 played like l tainted and
he caught me and famed me. We had
lots of fun, but he had TO go away"
Il guess he is the one who sent you
the nice box of candy just now" in
terposed Mrs. Mendell. pointing TO Il
huge box on the dresser.
"Oh, no, mother, that was another
one" Thus Harriet keeps track Of
her conquests.
Just at this point Jack Davis, Har-
rietts little co-star entered. pulled
of his sealskin cap and shook hands
with the reporter like a gentleman
twice his age. Jack. too. lives in New
York but. unlike Harriet there are
other actor folk in his family. He
is 10 years old and since going on the
stage has had parts in The Piper"
Snow White" and The Blue Bird. E"
having played in the latter part last
season with Harriet.
Just because Jack wears bObbed
hair of the stage as well as on no one
need think that ne is not a real boy.
During the summer when he is not
acting he is on the beach and then he
likes 10 swim and play baseball just
as much as any other boy In the
fall whenever he gets a chance he
plays football or sees a football gam ?,
because that is his savorite sport He
is a good skater, too.
Suddenly in the midst of the inter
view. Jack and Harriet disappeared
into the closet and when they reap
peared, Jack triumphant led in Har-
riett who had fashioned great long
nose and pointed chin OF green clay
and came in leaning heavily on a cane
improvised from an umbrella reciting
for the benefit OF the reporter the
lines OF the fairy in The Blue Bird -
So you see Jack and Harriet are
real children and not just make be-
lieve.

BIoOdieSt Fighting in Battle
RacI,ed Poland Occurs Near
MIawa and German Advances
Are Admitted in PetrOgrad.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 19.-The blood
lest lighting that has occurred in bat
tle-racked Poland has been in prog
ress in and around AIlawa for four
days The ruins of the little North
Poland town, practically destroyed by
the artillery fire Of the opposing Rus
sian and German troops on Sunday
changed hands three times but they
are now held by the Russians, who
have thrown back toward the Prussian
border the German forces that at
tempted to advance upon NOvo
Georgievsk.
In southern Poland heavy rein
fOrcements received by the Germans
have forced a change in the Russian
front. After the Germans had burned
the forest west OF Kielce in order to
drive out the Russian batteries posted
there, the cars forces were with
drawn from Kielce, as the position of
that town was of no strategic advan-
tage.
This confirms Breslau dispatches
received in Berlin saying the Germans
have captured Kielce.
ON their new front, stretching along
the upper Vistula, and west of Ivan
gorod and Warsaw, the Russians hold
positions that can be taken only at
cost, the PetrOgrad military experts
say. They make no effort to mini
miZe the fact that in western and
southern Poland the Germans have
made important gains, but assert that
the Nistula river presents an obstacle
that the Germans will be unable to
surmOunt With the Russians ad
vancing toward Thorn and Soldau
they also declare the Germans will be
compelled to weaken their forces up
on their other fronts, which will COM
pei them TO abandon any idea of a
drive at Ivangorod.
Confirms German Progress.
(This is the first hint that the Ger
man offensive in Poland is also aimed
at IvangOrod. That this possibility is
even considered. in Petrograd shows
that the Germans have made more
progress than their official reports
have claimed).
1t is admitted that the situation in
Galicia is not all that might have
been desired. The Austrian defense
Of CracOw is believed to have been
stiffened by the arrival of German
troops. These are said to have been
the forces from Belgium.
The pursuit of the Turkish troops
fleeing before the Russians in the
Caucasus is being pressed with great
vigOr despite the severe weather pre-
vailing there. The Russian troops are
now only 60 miles from Erzerum
whose garrison is said to have been
reduced to 5000 men in order TO re-
inforce the Turks defeated at Arda-
han. Sari-Kamysh and Karaurgan.
Tihis dispatch reports that two
trains carrying 1883 Turkish prison
ers arrived there Sunday while yester-
day there arrived at Sari- Kamysh

Oners; II field guns. Is mountain

Former Ambassador Expected
His Reward in This World.

A clergyman, whose name is not

much-involved and heavy estate. He
received his bill in due time. Mr.
Choate, 1t may be remarked by way OF
parenthesis, did not become a mil

accept an office whose annual ex
penses are $4,000 more than it's emol.
uments, by omitting to send bills to
clients. The clergyman, accordingly
was not overlooked.

with smile of depreciation.

in that car
But his new possession brought I'M
outbreak in him during the summer
season of that well-known disease,
speed mania" After he had learned
to handle that auto 1t became his de-
light to go careening over the roads
at from forty to fifty miles an hour,
and to whirl down the main street in
a swirl of dust, startling every horse
in sight and sending modest plodding
teams into the gItter to make way
for him One day friend, after wit
Messing his dash down Main street
and spectacular stop at his Office
shook his head and remarked:
"What'd ye dew, constable, If they
should try tew arrest ye for speedin'?"
"Dew?" said the constable "What'd
I dew, cap'n? Why, I'd jus pull my
coat back, show 'em my badge and
tell 'em I'm tryin' to catch man
