very pleasant situation, but it was a
sensation recently experienced by
Harold Lockwood, May Allison and
their supporting cast, while filming a
scene an big Tremaine," that thrill

property boys stumbled over a bee
hive, which was located about 20 feet
from where the players were working.
A minute later they were all almost
covered with bees, and ran in all di-
rectiOnS for safety. When Harold
Lockwood stopped his Marathon he
was exactly three blocks from the To-

May Allison, who was fighting the
bees with a huge bouquet of flowers,
and who, by the way, was the only one
of the party TO escape being stung.
When they got back to the location
work was called off by Director Henry
Otto, while the players plastered their

Drift From Country to City.

Some further statistics as to the
drift of population in this country
from the country to the city were
presented in d recent census bureau
report. Figures show that this drift
has now covered a period of CEN
fury and a quarter. or from 1870 to
the present time, 1870, being the year
in which the first census of popula-
ton was taken. Since that time the
drift has been practically uninterrupt-

rare in this country. Only one had a
population of more than $4,000. This
was New York city, which had at that
time 33,131 inhabitants. Next came

WHEN MOTHER GETS ALARMED
There Really Is No Cause for Worry

There comes time when nearly

If need be, to find a woods where he
may play Indian" or highwayman, OF
pirates, with other boys who have
spontaneously become as 'barbarous at
heart as their cave-dwellfng ancestors.
So he comes home covered with
mud, leaving great wads Of it upon
the stairs, and with streaks of it be-
hind his ears. His shoes are likely TO
be soaked through and through, so
that his mother forces him to take Ill
tasting gargles and medicines, poor
chapi And his manners have depart
ed. He no longer talks, he shouts.
Perched on the fence he carries on
personal conversation with boy a
block away He tears his clothes with
appalling frequency, and does not seem
and comes home with a black eye,
and instead of feeling ashamed, he pro-
claims from the hOusetOps how he did
up the other fellow.
And even when he is asleep, and his
mother steals in for last loOk-such
as all mothers take-like as not she
will see his lips moving, as he lies
with Il hand under a tangled head, for
although the scampering feet are still
and the sturdy fists are unclenched
and, except for the deep and regular
breathing the little boy is at rest, in
his mind he is still running races, kill
ing Indians, or pirating on the high
| seas. After lightly touching one round,
