TAM EN- ESS.

There are a vast number of
people who think they are Vir-

tame and inoffensive. Tame
ness is not a virtue; it is merely
the absence of vice.-John Stu

Mary Pickford in Madame
Butterfly.

A new and hitherto unsuspected
Mary Pickford is revealed in the Cho-
Cho-San she SO admirably plays in
the magnificent photoplay version of
John Luther Longs classic, Madame
Butterfly which will be the offering
.at the Grand Monday. The great mass
of admirers Of Mary Pickford who
have been accustomed to see their
favorite as little blonde beauty will
be astounded to find her thorough
Oriental 1t is not matter of make
up alone, but Of real histrionic ability.
Instead of the delightful little oc-
cidental girl who has f1irted, smiled
and wept her way through many adj
ventures and romances, Miss Pickford
becomes an enhancing, powerfully
emotional japanese girl whose por-
trayal Of the sufferings, grief and
anguish of the deserted wife, though
enacted with the utmost dignity and
force, is at the same time far above
anything she has ever attempted IN
sympathetic treatment.
The story is the familiar and be-
loved one Of the trusting little Nip
ponese who is married to a lieutenant
in the United States Navy, He sails
away on his vessel, promising to
return. He doesbut it is with an
American wife. And the broken-
hearted little japanese girl, carefully
shielding her babe from the dreadful
sight, stabs herself and dies in the
arms of the man who deceived her,
her grief-scarred face softened into
smiles of infinite delight by the joy
of dying in her lovers embrace,
A Style Show All BY Herself.
Valeska suratt, the most discussed
woman of the stage or screen, IS, as
is known to theatregoers the country
over, the fashion-plate of the dra-
matte profession. Her gowns have
made millions gasp by their beauty
and daring as well as by their daz-
zling lavishness of design. In making
her screen debut in "The Soul of
Broadway" which comes to the Grand
Tuesday, Miss Suratt has outdonea
all her previous efforts in gowns and
millinery, fashioned by famous mo-
distes.
In all she wears $50 gowns, some
dalingly and uniquely simple; others
that are calculated to make the
feminine portion Of her spectators
break into astonished exclamatlonss
when they see them. 1t is estimated
that in the course of "The Soul OF
Broadway" Miss Suratt changes her
garments with every forty feet OF
film. Many of them are designed to

SCHOOL FARM ENLARGED.
More Land and New Building For
East Ascension Institution.

The following paragraphs apper-
tanning to the Oak Grove agricultural
high school in this parish are quoted
from a recent report of e. Gt1il-
beau, state Inspector of agricultural
schools:
81 met Mr.. Broussard, the parish
superintendent, and Mr.. Stuart, the
president Of the school board, at this
school, to discuss the situation of the
school and farm. After having in
spected the school and farm and dis
cussed the matter we decided the
farm should have at least five more
acres Of land to make it as successful
as it should be. No land being for
sale in the immediate neighborhood of
the school at the present time, the
agriculturist was authorized to rent
five acres. 1t was decided, also, that
a building 80 by 20 feet should be
built for a workshop. This building
will be completed by next session.
Eve found the financial condition
Of the farm to be good. The live
stock was also found to be in fine con-
dition. A nice young short-horn bull

shed built for it. The hogs are doing
well and are being grazed every day
on the winter cover crops. Both
sows will farroW within a few days,
and as they are fine animals feel
satisfied we will have no trouble in
disposing Of the pigs.
sMr Babin, the agriculturist, ten

fective at once, and E. C. Jefferson,
a graduate Of the Louisiana State
University, was employed as agricul-
turist. Mr.. jefferson has been working
in the University dairy since he grad
uated and should make good man.
II was satisfied with general condl-
tions at the school. Strong clubs are
being organized and plenty Of interest
taken by the members. The work OIL
the farm is also well advanced and the
land in good condition. The drains
are open and the land well drained. !

and Immediately catches CareW's
fancy. Crazy Jake, one of the miners,
who is known for his fearlessness and
Drawn, proposes that the miners all
cut the cards for the girl, the holder
of the highest card to claim her as
his own.
Carew resents this proposal, and
he and Crazy Jake come to blows.
CareW bests the bully in the en-
counter and is hailed as the hero OF
the camp Little Snow Birds heart
goes out to Carew, and surreptitiously
she follows him wherever he goes.
One night he falls in a big snow
storm, and it is Little Snow Bird who
finds MIN and carries him to safety.
Afterward, they live together.
Carew, with all the money at his
command that. he desires, tires Of the
camp life in the desolate Alaskan
wastes, and pines for one more fling
of the Great White Way. He arranges
to go to New York for one trip and
then return to his Little Snow Bird
for life. Carew arrives in New York
on New Years eve. He engages q
table in Murray's restaurant, one of
the smartest and gayest places in
town. There he observes Ethel
Wyndhanl at another table, and inn
mediately joins her party. Now that
he is wealthy, she is willing to listen
to his renewed VOWS of love. She
agrees to marry Carew, but her
compani iii, Thomas Martin, So
