sensation among the buyers of this

THE Three Musketeers"-who
does not know the three adventurous
characters of Alexander Dumas, prob
ably the most famous soldiers of
bookland? With Orrin Johnson as
the hero, D'Artagnan, the great Tri-
angle company director, Ince, has
melted the great story into a super
feature of the screen. Based on love
and adventure, the three musketeers
are sure to win the hearts of every
picture fan. 1t is a play of plot. of
intrigue and a most beautifully
staged picture. With this feature
comes a Keystone comedy "Fido's
Fate" presenting Charles Murray as
the victim of a chain of circumstances
surrounding his efforts to smuggle a
puppy into his apartment as a gift to
his wife. A flirty wife and jealous
husband add to the complications.
Thursday is Parent-Teachers night
and in addition to the pictures Mrs.
Henry Provost will render vocal Sc
lections.

AS Mark Twains "Pudd 'nhead Will
son" is ranked as one of the greatest
of his writings, so should the film
adaptation of the story make one of
the greatest film comedy dramas.
This story of the south in slavery
days is more than a comedy-it is a
drama with situations as tense as the
widest thriller.

MILITARY THEORY.

While there is some satisfaction in

the scale upon which such instruction
is undertaken, in most eases, is not
such as to give much promise of i'm
portant results,
At Princeton, for instance, the new
military course is a classroom course,
wholly theoretical, embracing a year S

tary strategy. There is no provision

About everyone in the state who has
been seriously considered as a possible
delegate to the Republican national
convention has promptly declared him
self as in favor of Judge Hughes for
president.
Senator Page is an exception. He
does not want to go to Chicago. He is
reported as being in favor of Roose-

We believe the Republicans of Yer
mont are for Hughes. We ar sen ling
delegates to Chicago to select the very
best man for the place and a man who
can beat Wilson. We are pretty sur,
that Hughes measures up to both spec
ifications. There may be others, bu.
Roosevelt is not one Of them.
The Chicago convention should not
be a clinic where old sores are opened
up and old scabs brought out to be dis

the firm resolve to do the very best

King Philip was an Indian monarch
who was born in this country and died
while seeking a cooler climate. He in
habited most of the New England
states and proved greater scourge
than an epidemic OF the humps. When
every people saw King Philip coming
they hid in the cellar and handed up
peace offerings in the form Of canned
fruit. His reign was short, but highly
turbulent, and he enjoyed one of the
most tumultuous deaths on record.
King Philip was the son of an In
dian chief who had been squeezed out
of some valuable corn land in Massa-
chusetts and nursed an ingrowing
crouch against the white brother. On
his death bed he made Philip promise
that he would not allow one of the
Puritan Fathers to cross his path with
out writing his name and postof1ice
address on the back of his head with
a tomahawk, and Philip carried out
this promise with serupulous fidelity
until arrested by the collapse of his
breathing apparatus.
1t was Philip who conceived the idee
Of uniting the red brother into enc
compact, painless mass and pushing
the white interlopers into the Atlantic
ocean. He therefore started out by
