The yearly hospital report Of the
Kings Daughters Circle for 1915.
1915 has passed into history. For
the hospital your committee hopes it
has been wrought well. They have
made mistakes, and fallen short of
the standard. "She hath done what
she could"
They have done willing work and
have been faithful.
For Mrs. West-Stott who helped
them out SO faithfully at the begin
ming of the year, they ask your
thanks, your love and your best
wishes.
The superintendent, Miss Russell,
has efficiently and faithfully served
you, they commend her to your love,
your help and cooperation.
The girls have done good work,
and the committee thinks you will be
justly proud of them; make them feel
that every Kings Daughter stands
behind them to help them on to bet
ter and higher things.
There has beer donations during
the year in the way of money,
groceries, flowers, nice trays for
patients, household articles, etc.
The financial report which follows
is not just what your committee
would like it to be, still it could have
been worse.

AMUSE.U THEATRE.

Tomorrow-How easy ambition, vir- tue and duty are stifled in those who surrender themselves to the pursuit of the vain pleasures of the world is graphically shown in "The Hypo- crites," the sixth chapter of the Pathe Grip of Evil" photodramas which will be shown at the Amuse-U to- morrow. John Burton, who is seek ing to discover whether all mankind is helpless in the grip of evil, aids the son and daughter of a farmer to go to the city and study for the ca- reers their ambition and talents have pointed out to them. The boy desires to become an engineer and the girl a painter But the giddy pursuits of the city soon have the boy and girl enmeshed. He forsakes his studies and wastes the money of his bene factor among evil companions, and she becomes an artists model and permits the flattery of her employer to deaden the ideal of virtue her parents had implanted in her heart. When Burton sees the girl in the arms of the artist and the boy under arrest for his part in a drunken brawl, he is more than ever convinc- ed that humanity is in the grip of evil.

BEST THEATRE.

Monday-A Wm. Fox production in five parts, entitled "The Spider and the Fly" with Robt. B. Mantell, Cen evieve Hamper Stuart Holmes, Gene vieve Blinn, and Claire Whitney. The play has to do with the curse of drunkenness. The story hinges on the destinies of two men and one wo- man ruined by drink. It resembles
 he old English novels in that it tells the story of more than just one char acter. There are five leading char acters in this film, something unus- ual, and then, of course, are the ones cast as supporters of the leads. So it is really a great production. De- lano, young Parisian of the upper class, while drunk, kills his best friend in a duel Blanche, the mis- tress of the Hall of Folly, vows to make Delano her subservient admir-
 CT like the other men who surround her. Gervaise, French peasant girl, fights in the public wash house with

ATLANTA, Ca, April 19.-Circus
Gnake charmers and ragged Hindus of

cobra with as much pleasure as an old
maid handles her Tabby cat are backed
off the board by Mrs. w. T. Monk, of

in big glass jar with the avered in
tGntion of training them for household
pets.
A child in the neighborhood ran to
Mrs. Monk in great alarm because of a
nest of snakes which he had discovered
in her back yard. Mrs. Monk put down
her sewing, went into the yard with
the jar, picked up the snakes by their
tails, and then screwed on the top,
